Analysis of "Gone With the Wind" poster.



"Gone with the Wind"  is a 1939 American epic-historical romance film adapted from Margaret Mitchell's 1936 novel of the same name. It was directed by Victor Fleming and stars Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh. "Gone With the Wind” presents a sentimental view of the Civil War, in which the “Old South” takes the place of Camelot and the war was fought not so much to defeat the Confederacy and free the slaves as to give Miss Scarlett O'Hara her comeuppance. But we've known that for years; the tainted nostalgia comes with the territory. Yet as “Gone with the Wind” approaches its 60th anniversary, it is still a towering landmark of film, quite simply because it tells a good story, and tells it wonderfully well.
As our film takes place during several time periods we thought that it could be a good idea to make different posters reflecting the different time periods within our films in a similar way to how the poster for "Gone with the wind" reflects the period in which it was set.
