Burgund-1 wrote:Gone with the Wind is a classic film released in 1939 that adapts the 1936 novel of the same name by Margaret Mitchell. The novel/film tells the story of Scarlett O'Hara, the daughter of southern planters in antebellum Georgia, and covers her story throughout the antebellum era, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Now the movie is considered one of the greatest films every produced, but it is fraught with a number of issues with its story and content. Of course when I say this I refer to how both the film and novel propagate the myth of the Lost Cause of the Confederacy(Basically the idea that thefilm south fought for states rights, honor etc and was only defeated due to overwhelming power.) Not only that but the film also implies that slavery was a benign institution, as evidenced by how the slaves within the film seem to be content/how the film never portrays slavery in an explicitly negative light. Now my question to you NSG is as follows: Given that in recent years there has been a push to remove/reevaluate confederate memorials, monuments, southern history etc...What do you think should be done about Gone with the Wind? Do you believe that it should be banned from sale/public showings/do you think the film is southern propaganda? Or do you feel as if the movie should remain freely available/is fine as it is? Personally I feel that the film should be recognized as an important piece of cinema, but should perhaps be reevaluated for some of its more controversial elements.

Most of the big slaveholders didn't even fight. And the lives of a lot of slaves were not bad lives. In the majority of cases, they were treated almost as part of the family. Just because this movie doesn't show the worst of slavery and the bad motives behind some people, doesn't mean it is bad. These slaveholders were a small minority, and I don't think it is fair to only show the side of the story that is generally promoted by the north( i.e. that most southerners were cruel, slave owning people who only fought to keep others in bondage). Now, don't get the wrong idea here. I am very glad the north won. The south was wrong in their cause and they should not have rebelled. But to only show half the story is a very bad thing and borders on propaganda.

It was an early movie shot in color, the cinematography was gorgeous. Clark gable at his most dashing, everyone wanted to see scarlett get her comeuppance and redemption. And it is a wonderful soap opera.
