| Posted by: bigred760 at February 16, 2006, 11:07 am | | Topic: King Kong!! WOW! (Reviews) Forum: JoBlo | | Isn't Gone with the Wind supposed to be at least a little racist? I mean it is about the Civil War. It can be thought of as a study of the times anyway. Do I like the way they're treated? Hell no, it's despicable. But it did happen in real life. You really think they awarded an Academy Award to Butterfly McQueen (great name, by the way!!) because she portrayed an ignorant slave? Come on; she had a lot of sass and attitude in the role and that's what made her stand out. She told off Scarlett a whole bunch of times in the flick. Now, I don't know much about Gone with the Wind, it's been a while since I've seen it, it's not one of my favorite movies, and I don't know much about its history or production - but the movie isn't about slavery or racism. The movie's about this stuck up southern belle and her struggles to deal with the changing times and the love triangle between her, Ashley, and Rhett - all during the Civil War. Of course there are slaves and black people treated like dirt, but that was just a sign of the times. Now, the Roots series - that is a racist movie, but that was the point. |
