Girl you sound racist as hell. This movie is 1 of the greatest movies of all times. Everyone knows that it is so inaccurate in the portrayal of the history of the south. You can watch it, or not watch it.
That is your personal choice. But, don't think for one freaking second that you can force others to join your little club. Choices are like rectums. Everybody has one.

I find that…more This book is a reflection of how the society of Atlanta in the early 20th century including Margaret Mitchell felt about the Civil War. I find that insight fascinating rather than off-putting. And the story of the characters would be amazing regardless of the historical context. It takes guts to make your main character spoiled, selfish, and stupid, someone without any redeeming qualities, and write an epic novel about her.
But it works for two reasons. First of all you wait for justice to fall its merciless blow with one of the most recognized lines in cinema 'frankly my dear, I don't give a damn' , but you end with a broken and somewhat repentant character and you can't be pitiless. Secondly, if you were going to parallel the beautiful, affluent, lazy, spirited South I honestly do not know whether to give this book 5 stars for being one of the most completely engrossing, shocking, and emotionally absorbing pieces of literature ever written, or to give it 0 stars for being the most tragic, unendingly upsetting, disturbing book I've ever read.
I read the last 50 pages or so literally with my mouth wide open, unable to believe that it was really going to be THAT tragically sad.

Another epic story complete! This was a very good one! I have read a few huge books in my life. Some are a struggle to get through and others are so captivating they read easier than a page novel.
Gone With The Wind falls in the 'captivating' category. At no point was I bored with the story or wondering if it was ever going to end. I was fully invested every step of the way - invested to the point that my wife was amused that I spent a lot of time talking back to the book or exclaiming when s Hell yeah!
I mean, everyone has the basic idea correct: the South took a tremendous thrashing. Shelves: historical-fiction, classics, long-reads, southern-lit, pulitzer-winner, great-books-women. One of my reading themes for is reading at least ten classic books. It seems only fitting that on the Fourth of July I completed Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind, an epic masterpiece that many view as the definitive great American novel.
I feel that the two halves of the book mirror the southern United States before and after the Civil War. The first half of the book occurs primarily at Tara Plantation. We meet our main protagonist Scarlett O'Hara, the belle of the south, who epitomiz Margaret Mitchell was a racist and in , 70 years after the Civil War, she whined for a thousand pages about how much she missed slavery. If you'd like to hear why slavery was terrific and black people are inferior to whites and they liked being slaves, here is your epic.
If that sounds unpleasant, you're not going to like Gone With the Wind. A non-racist book can have racist characters, and all the characters in this book are racist. Is the book itself necessarily racist? It has an omnis I received my copy of Gone With the Wind in and never got past the first 50 or pages in any of my annual attempts at this books until , at which point I decided to defeat the book one and for all.
I want my time back. There was a reason I never before read past the first 50 or pages - Scarlet is a raging evil snarky miserable bitch and I hate her.
