Gone with the Wind

GWTW

The epic 1939 movie Gone with the Wind starring Clark Gable and Vivian Lee is referenced a couple of times in Buffy. In Tabula Rasa, Spike says to Buffy, “we kissed, you and me all Gone with the Wind, with the rising music and the rising… music”. In The Killer in Me, Kennedy refers to the movie when she tells Willow how she first knew she was gay: “It was Gone with the Wind. I saw that, and I knew I wanted to sweep Scarlet off her feet.”
Coincidentally, the O’Hara plantation in the movie is called “Tara”.

      Hmm, interstign about “Tara” it’s also a coincidence that Scarlett’s SECOND husband is called “Frank KENNEDY” and Kennedy is Willows second girlfriend

      Wow, is Joss a Margaret Mitchell fan or what?

    3. AnyaRocks says:

      AND… Kennedy said she realised she was gay because she wanted to sweep Scarlett off her feet. Coincidence? I think not.

    4. Matt1997 says:

      I am not sure, but I would consider the fact that Joss had plans to kill Tara, kind of a strange homage to Melanie in GWTW, because they both were kind and they both died tragically.
