Hattie McDaniel won an Oscar for her portayal as being the thorn, towards Vivien Leigh, as Scarlet O'Hara.
People explaining art to other people.
The opposite of what art is supposed to be.
BTW, never liked the film.
Hattie McDaniel is credited with saying: “Why would I object to playing a maid for $700/week, when I would make only
$7/week actually BEING one?
Haha - recently heard Judge Jeanine say that was her favorite movie
It was racist that they had a British actress playing a U.S. citizen.
I haven’t seen it since the 90s, but I remember the Confederacy losing.
Not my favorite but I enjoy watching movies that couldn’t be made today.
The democrats in hollywood refused to let Hattie McDaniel sit with the other actors at the Oscar ceremony. The democrats have erased many minorities presented on products and sports teams. They are going after Hattie by banning Gone With the Wind.
Frankly my dear cnn, I don’t give a damn.
A movie short of a dot moving across a screen could be deemed, “problematic” if someone were looking hard enough.
It’s a good movie, for its time. It does hold up. It is also, in its period-pastel production (color was new!) actually realistic. This it gets from the novel, which is better.
Its based on real events and real conditions, largely from the POV of an eccentric character, but so it is. The “racism” in it is an accusation that comes from that point of view. Scarlett sees what she deigns to see, it’s her story after all. The slaves are as she sees them. It seems that it is unacceptable to see things from other than the slaves POV.
There might be a movie, or novel, from the slaves POV and that might be interesting on its own, but the affairs and emotional angst of Scarlett would not exist in that version.
It was such an astonishing production compared to all prior movies, and all these years later, there has not been a movie more visually stunning or with better use of color.
It was an epic movie about the old South, when many veterans of the War were still alive, and the War was not yet distant history. It was beloved by Yankee families as well.
It should be viewed in a theater, not on TV with commercials.
I think it is still the best movie ever made. Like all things excellent, it is under attack by despicable people posing as virtuous.
Love the movie even more!
“Racist” is a liberal label for “anti-liberal”. So anything racist is great!
Jaws is racist?, who knew.
(My favorite movie)
We get a lecture just before they start a movie on TV now ,what’s next ,LOL 2 things they created for Morons “Viewer Discretion Advised” and “Best Before Dates”
So what’s new with this crowd anyway? Being racist is racist.
Embrace racism?
I’ve never seen it...but probably should.
CNN is filled with anti-white racists among the worst of them.
