Gone with the Wind sucks and I wish more people realized this.

[trancexperiment]

Yep. Racist, romanticized rape and Scarlett was insufferable as a main character.

[near_dark]

Yes to all of these.

and on top of that, 4 fucking hours of that bullshit.

I think the scale and look of the movie is the most impressive thing about it but goodness it is so desperately romanticized by folks and not just in the south. It’s crazy.

[near_dark]

Eh, I guess for a movie made in the '30s the scale of the whole production is impressive but I can think of far better looking movies (and more memorable ones) from that time.

[bananasnrum]

I said that’s the most impressive thing about it. I didn’t say it was impressive compared to other things.

[near_dark]

Oh, sorry, just feel like people talk about how good the movie looks and I just immediately think of all the other movies that look better to me.

Honestly, the book was much better than the movie

[pamelalillian]

Opposite for me although I feel that the exclusion of Scarlett’s other kids in the movie took away another element of how awful she was

we watched it in a government class one summer in high school (it was a joke class that lasted 9 days- half of the day was learning, half the day was watching a movie/show) and i hated it so much...

...even more so when i realized the first half wasn't the whole thing. my whole life up until that point i thought the "...i shall never go hungry agaiinnn!" was how it ended.

[bellwetherr]

i've never read the book or seen the film

[speedychi]
