This is not a documentary on slavery, people!

Rating: 9/10 (17 December 2004)

I'm not going to go into details why I think this movie is one of the all-time greatest movies- suffice it to say that IMO it is.
I'd rather like to concentrate on the racist aspect of the movie- which IMO is non-existent, or at least way overrated. True, the concept of happy slaves is ridiculous, but this is a Hollywood movie. "Gone with the Wind" is not meant to be a historic documentary, but an entertaining, epic movie; not more, not less. Yes, they twisted the truth in order to adjust it to their plot, but not only regarding slaves, but also the entire Civil War and Southern life of those days. IMO people should stop getting all worked up on the slave issue. Even slightly intelligent people should know how to distinguish between "Hollywood movie" (whose intention it is purely to entertain) and "Documentary". One of my best friends is black, and she absolutely loves the movie as well.
