Lockdown Day 90 - I finally got round to watching Gone With The Wind

Sadly, no.

I don’t understand why it’s held in such high esteem?

I’ve decided to wade through the ‘100 films to see before you die’ list.

GWTW is a great movie and Margaret Mitchell was a great writer.

What does being made in 1939 have to do with it? What should have been done with black characters in a story set in the south during the Civil War and Reconstruction - totally dismiss there were slaves? Not have any black people in the story at all? Have every single black person mistreated constantly? Would that be satisfactory to some people?

But if made today perhaps they could be more realistic and include black slave owners in the movie. This is just one of them.
