《乱世佳人》-电影介绍(中英双语)
Gone with the Wind is a 1939 American epic historical romance film adapted from the 1936 novel by Margaret Mitchell. The film was produced by David O. Selznick of Selznick International Pictures and directed by Victor Fleming. Set in the American South against the backdrop of the American Civil War and the Reconstruction era, the film tells the story of Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh), the strong-willed daughter of a Georgia plantation owner, following her romantic pursuit of Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard), who is married to his cousin, Melanie Hamilton (Olivia de Havilland), and her subsequent marriage to Rhett Butler (Clark Gable).
The film had a troubled production. The start of filming was delayed for two years until January 1939 because of Selznick's determination to secure Gable for the role of Rhett, and concluded the following July. The role of Scarlett was difficult to cast, and 1,400 unknown women were interviewed for the part. Sidney Howard's original screenplay underwent many revisions by several writers to reduce it to a suitable length. The original director, George Cukor, was fired shortly after filming began, and was replaced by Fleming, who in turn was briefly replaced by Sam Wood while taking some time off due to exhaustion. Post-production concluded in November 1939, just a month before its premiere.

《乱世佳人》是一部1939年上映的美国史诗爱情电影,改编自玛格丽特·米切尔1936年的小说。本片由塞尔兹尼克国际影业的大卫·塞尔兹尼克制作,维克多·弗莱明导演。电影制作一开始并不顺利,影片的拍摄推迟了两年,直到1939年1月才开始,因为塞尔兹尼克决定让盖博出演瑞德这个角色,并于次年7月结束。斯嘉丽这个角色很难选,1400名不知名的女性接受了面试。西德尼·霍华德的原始剧本经过了几位作家的多次修改,以将其缩短到合适的长度。原导演乔治·库克在开拍后不久就被解雇了,弗莱明接替了他的位置,而弗莱明中间因为觉得太累了,导演萨姆·伍德短暂的顶了一阵子。直到1939年11月,即影片首映前一个月,后期制作才结束。

It received generally positive reviews upon its release on December 15, 1939. While the casting was widely praised, the long running time received criticism. At the 12th Academy Awards, Gone with the Wind received ten Academy Awards (eight competitive, two honorary) from thirteen nominations, including wins for Best Picture, Best Director (Fleming), Best Adapted Screenplay (posthumously awarded to Sidney Howard), Best Actress (Leigh), and Best Supporting Actress (Hattie McDaniel, becoming the first African American to win an Academy Award). It set records for the total number of wins and nominations at the time.
Gone with the Wind was immensely popular when first released. It became the highest-earning film made up to that point, and held the record for over a quarter of a century. When adjusted for monetary inflation, it is still the highest-grossing film in history. It was re-released periodically throughout the 20th century and became ingrained in popular culture. Although the film has been criticized as historical negationism, glorifying slavery and the Lost Cause of the Confederacy myth, it has been credited with triggering changes in the way in which African Americans were depicted cinematically. Gone with the Wind is regarded as one of the greatest films of all time, and in 1989 became one of the twenty-five inaugural films selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.

影片于1939年12月15日上映,获得了普遍的好评。虽然演员阵容广受好评,但影片的时长却遭到了批评。在第12届奥斯卡金像奖上,《乱世佳人》获得了13项提名,并获得了10项奥斯卡奖,创造了当时获奖和提名总数的记录;包括最佳影片、最佳导演、最佳改编剧本、最佳女演员和最佳女配角,而演员海蒂·麦克丹尼尔,也成为史上第一位获得奥斯卡金像奖的非裔美国人。
