HD screencaps of Gone With The Wind on the blu ray format.
Gone With The Wind looks superb on blu ray, the ultra resolution process used by Warner has produced outstanding detail levels which breathes new life into the original cinematography, it now looks like film and the compression job done by Warner in getting a near four hour film onto one disc is also superb, i was impressed by this disc.
The story itself is very well known and centres around the life of Scarlett O' Hara and the plantation of Tara which she calls home, we see through her eyes the American Civil War and her love for Ashley Wilkes who marries another woman, get introduced to the dashing Rhett Butler who loves Scarlett so much but she is blinded by her love for Ashley.
This classic piece of American cinema has been lovingly restored to it's full Technicolor glory by Warner Bros, changes were made to the film version when adapting the book to eradicate what was seen as a glamourisation of the Ku Klux Klan.
David O. Selznick did not want his film tarnished with racism and removed all mention of the Klan.
I feel that they succeeded in removing the less savoury aspects of the novel and have made a fine film which even after 70 years still manages to entertain, it's got a great music score, a wonderful script and excellent cinematography and the actors are all perfect for their roles.
