Memorable Movie Scene

By akwon100

My memorable movie scene was a scene from Gone with the Wind. There is a scene in the middle of the entire movie. This scene was the climax of the movie that moved the audience into a different aura from the first half of the film making the audience wanting to know what is coming next. It is played right before the intermission break of this movie. It is a scene when the main character/actress scarlett (played by Vivian Leigh) holds a fist in her hand after digging through the dirt for food after having reached her home during the civil war and exclaims ‘For God be my whiteness…’ The camera zooms out and shows her standing next to a tree in a field during a sunset thats very beautiful. The camera zooms out from her fierce and vengeful face to her whole body standing firm and strong to the entire scene where she stands next to a tree looking out into the wilderness thats been left by the war. This is definitely a great scene because it does an amazing job to move the audience so much. It gives an ambivalent feeling; one in which you are sad because she has lost so much and two in that you are happy that the main character is alive and she is still as strong as ever and you can tell that throughout the next half of the movie you can expect better things to happen. Not only did it create this ambivalent feeling to the audience in terms of story but this scene also allowed the audience to greatly relate to the character in a sense of being vengeful and a certain hate towards the world to survive. I believe that this was a great scene that was made so perfectly for this movie.
