Classic Is Never Gone
Every year hundreds of films are produced,yet how many are forgotten after six months?Movies come and go,as throwaway as popcorn bags left on the floor of a cinema.But of those few films that people do remember,there is one that is truly"evergreen"(常青)
Whether you are young or old,or where you are in the world,the 1939classic Gone with the Wind never seems to become unpopular.Last year the film celebrated its 75th birthday.
The movie comes from a best-selling book of the same name by US writer Margaret Mitchell.Hollywood was soon interested in turning the novel into a movie.
The story is set in the periods before,during and after the American Civil War (1861-1865).It is about relationships between members of high-class families living in the south of America.
The Civil War period piece highly rewarded the time and effort of the filmmakers who worked on it.Over twenty years,no studio went beyond it in making the most money of any film ever made.It's the kind of movie that every studio dreams of making.
