Gone with the Wind

[Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) is in love with Ashley (Leslie Howard), all though the reason she loves him so is because he won't give in to Scarlett's advances.  Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) is a man who is not noble, but calls things as he sees them.]

Gone with the Wind is such a classic as far as movies and books go.  The thing that we can gain from this clip is the way Scarlett acts.  How often are we like her that we begin to insult, and moan about when God does not seem to do what we want Him to do?  Ashley told her he never said anything to make her believe that he would marry her.  Ashley only loved her, how she ought to be loved, and that was not in a romantic way.  We get so caught up on what we think God is saying, and don't pay attention to what He does say.  God loves us exactly for who we are, and where we are.  If God were to follow our plans we would end up miserable indeed, which is what will happen to Scarlett when she doesn't follow what is right in front of her, namely Rhett.  

Rhett is somebody that can teach us a thing or two about life.  So often we are caught up in this appearance of what we want people to see, but God cuts through that.  He sees people for who they are, judging their actions, along with the intentions of their hearts.  This is kind of how Rhett sees the world, he calls things how he finds them.  He states that he was paying Scarlett a compliment because this quality of passion is something that makes you live fully, and that is what Rhett intends to do.  I think it would be really nice if we could see more people like Rhett, who are so concerned with their reputation, but call things how they seem them.
