Review of Gone with the Wind (1939) by Cameron J — 25 Jun 2011
Didn't think I'd like it as much as I did. A classic; the important parts (filmmaking, acting quality) haven't really aged. An important movie about the civil war and America in general. Captures a moment in history and uses it to say something about the world in general. The characters might not have modern world views and the politics might be old-fashioned, but the artistry isn't.
There is racism in it, but that shouldn't be surprising given the film tells the story of rich white southerners during the Civil War through their eyes. It's unfortunate, but so is pretty much everything else that happens in the film. It's the movie we should admire, not its characters or what they do.
