There isn’t much to say about Gone with the Wind that hasn’t already been said. It’s a classic that has mostly withstood the test of time. A story of love and loss in the American South during and after the Civil War. The grand sets can drop jaws even today. However, it should all be taken in context of the time period. Not only is the film a period piece, but it was made in a time when racism was more prevalent in film. This results in some less than respectable representations of slaves and slave ownership. However, that aspect tends to be glossed over when admiring the great acting, directing, and story involved. This movie is still a great, if flawed, piece of film history.1 member likes this review.
