Gone with the Wind《乱世佳人》1939
This film shows the best of American cinema. Whether we like the film, or not, one has to recognize the greatest achievement, perhaps, of the creative talent of the people working in the movie industry. “Gone with the Wind” represents a monumental leap, as well as a departure, for the movies, as they were done prior to this film. “Gone with the Wind” brought together the best people in Hollywood. The end result is the stunning film that for about four hours keeps us interested in the story unfolding on the screen. Of course, credit must be due to the director, Victor Fleming, and his vision, as well as the adaptation by Sydney Howard, who gave the right tone to the film. The gorgeous cinematography created by Ernest Haller gives us a vision of the gentle South before the war, and the Phoenix raising from the ashes of a burned Atlanta. At the same time, the music of Max Steiner puts the right touch behind all that is seen in the movie.
这部影片展示了美国电影的精髓。无论喜欢与否，我们都必须承认该片或许是电影工作者天才创意的最伟大的成就。相比此前的电影作品，《乱世佳人》是一次巨大的飞跃，也是一次全新的尝试。《乱世佳人》汇集了好莱坞最优秀的人才。他们最终为观众奉献了这部令人惊叹的影片。影片时长约四个小时，大银幕上展开的故事始终吸引着我们。当然，功劳必须归于导演维克多·弗莱明和他的远见卓识，还有西德尼·霍华德对影片的改编，他为这部影片赋予了正确的基调。通过欧内斯特·哈勒拍摄的绝美镜头，我们看到了战前祥和的南方，以及烧毁后的亚特兰大如凤凰涅槃。同时，马克斯·斯坦纳的配乐对情节的衬托也都恰到好处。
