Gone With the Wind MV

The quality blows, but I will continue to blame my lack of a good editing program.
I had fun with this one, trying to include as much of Scarlett and Rhett's high and lows as I could, without distracting too much with other characters/plot.
The lyrics remind me of the film, personally. The song is "Break the Bed" by the Odds.

5.19 shows child abuse, racism & slavery. well portrayed.

@nayanmalig @nayanmalig Yep, Gone With the Wind is racist, sexist, and almost every -ist in the book. LOTS of problems in that movie! I made this FMV years ago, and not only is it poorly done, it's not something I would bother doing now. I think I would have trouble watching GWTW now, too. Even back when I was a fan of the film, I could tell it had huge problems, they didn't bother me as much as they would now. Blame it on my being a young dumb teenager when I made this, if you like.

Why is there so much controversy on a film that was based on true events of our American history? The reality is, is that like it or not, stuff happened, and just because people want to retell a story from history that doesn't mean that they are racist, they are simply including events that actually took place. There are films about the Holocaust and Hitler, which is apart of our history but people don't view that as racist they view it as historical and educational.....

don't listen to the haters. i think the song goes alright with it.

@maddym27 You are mad. This book is a classic. Scarlett is a perfectly portrayed character. Any body can make a video- can you write a book like that?

Movie Gone With The Wind is the maximum masterpiece permanently memorized on history of film in the world.

i just have to say, i saw your tribute video a year or so ago and i loved it a lot and have been trying to find it ever since. i really just think the song choice oddly fits so perfectly and you tell the story so concisely in 5 minutes. i love it. and i normally really don't like these kinds of compilation videos. but yours is done so well!

@maddym27 gone with the wind is a powerful story because it shows the way the world was at a certain time--the time of the civil war and, in a sense, the time the film was made-1939. it may be hard to watch in some ways, but it is an incredible story because it shows the unraveling of a spoiled rich kid who starts out oblivious to the world around her and eventually loses everything because, as it turns out, the world does not revolve around her. thanks for making this!! i actually love it.

I don't understand why people are arguing doesn't matter who likes it or not that really occurred. And nothing no one say can change that. It was based on that certain life style era so get over it. Gone With The Wind is a beautiful piece of cinema and it will forever be a classic. If you don't appreciate maybe you have problems I don't know?

@maddym27 ... are you serious? GWTW is the OPPOSITE of racist and sexist. You have to consider when the book was written and the time period they are portraying. Scarlett O Hara is a strong, independent woman who doesn't rely on a man to survive. That was unheard of back during the Civil War era. Mamie is seen as an affectionate motherly type but she also commands respect from everyone around her and is one of the first strong and respected African American characters in American cinema.

@maddym27 The person who opined GWTW is 'racist, sexist, etc....' is entitled to their opinion. But you aren't obliged to agree with them & diminish what you have created. GWTW reflects the time frame of the events/culture of Civil War South.

[nin12dog]

@maddym27 It is a Classic that endures. It is set in Civil War period, naturally slavery is shown in the movie. Women's rights weren't even thought of in this time-frame. The focus of the movie was Scarlett, her personality, flaws, strengths & how she lived through a war. It is also about romantic love. It is relatively neutral re: slavery, considering the time period it reflects. BTW, why disparage your own efforts?
