The wind hasn't left

Gone with the Wind is an excellent American classic. If i listed all the reasons why i loved it i'd be on this computer for days! As for the people who say that all it was about was spoiled southern belles and a terrible plot I say there wrong. The movie is telling about a bratty teenager in the "old south" who learns and grows to be a courage's women through the experiences of her life through out the destruction of her world. Now, this goes towards the people who say that all it was about was racism. First of all that was the way it was back then in that point in time and David O. Selznick couldn't just lie to the audience. You need to accept the fact that African-Americans were not always free. And the movie is not stating that slavery was right, but simply the way it was back then. So F.Y.I. to the people who are either too young to understand or think that every thing from the southern perspective of things is always racist get a clue. And the people who say that this movie was portraying the Yankee troupes as brutes are wrong. Some of them really were brutes to the southern men and women but the movie never stated or portrayed that all of them were terrible. Also they were not trying to set bitterness into the audience towards the African-American carpet bagger but again they were portraying the way that most of the southern population thought about the bill collectors. They did not have enough money to pay the bills on their homes after the south was destroyed and the carpet bagger, in most eyes, was a nightmare because they had little finances. So with all this said and done believe me when I say THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER!!!
