if you really love gwtw and you will find quite disappoint the story . those who may think this be just about a romantic story and the south and will be probably satisfy with this decent tv production ( altought i consider an important miscast the choice for scarlett ) . but and let me say that consider the novel and nothing good could come out of this . i have read gwtw more than 20 time and i can really appreciate the adaptation mrs. mitchell do for the film . it take me some time to understand how good the end be represent scarlett knew for sure she be go to recover rhett and since she always get what she want . but there be no kiss in the end . then alexandra ripley come to fix this by show u exactly how perfect and mighty scarlett could be and and of course and describing in detail how exactly she get rhett back even when she have an important affair with someone else ( nothing could have be far from mrs. mitchell mind and i be sure ) . the story between these point be in my opinion just a long and boring ride make up to tie end and show off costume and scenario just to give u an obvious and totally unnecessary end . if margaret mitchell could come to live again and she would die one more time at the very moment she would find out what scarlett become after gwtw . sure it not fair to compare this to the original but this be not gwtw fault . isn not it . be it any good if i do not compare it to the original . maybe . sorry to say i do not really care . i would expect little more compromise to continue someone else ( suberb ) work and otherwise do not even try .
