Is Gone With The Wind worth watching?

[Optimus Prime]

Ten commandments is great. I lol every time moses comes down from the mountain and is angry as fukk.

might be my favorite movie ever, i watch it every Xmas, either on ABC or blu-ray

 

[Geek Nasty]

Yes, it’s a good movie. It’s a mix of good ol south mythology and a low key diss of how Southerner whites look at themselves. That mammy was also the first black woman to win an academy award .... in 1939.

I like it. If you look at it as just a movie, it's beautiful.

Reminds me of sitting in Cinema History class and having to watch Birth of Nation.

From a film perspective- technical achievement


But still...

Charlton Heston was on a roll back in the 60s. Ben hur was great too.

It's a great movie but yes, it has some dated social elements in it. Then again, you could also accurately say that's how a lot of these southerners actually look at themselves and their history (see the General Lee statue controversy).

I get the anger but she paved the way for others. And it was amazing she won at the time but Hollywood does love us as slaves .

I'm not sure you could really say she "paved the way", it was like another 50 years before a Black woman won an Oscar for anything other than playing a slave.

I'm glad I've seen this, but I can't imagine ever watching it again.

Frankly my breh, nobody gives a damn.

 

[Neuromancer]

Hell no. Especially if u black. That mammy character

This. Unless you wanna get angry.

I've only seen it once and that was way back in the 90s in elementary school for our history class. It took us like 3-4 days to finish it. You should see it just for the historical context of it but that's about it. I thought about watching it again out of curiosity but that shyt is way too long.

 

[MajesticLion]

Essential.

 

[nieman]

I'm curious, how many of y'all ever watched Imitation of Life (one or both of them)

 

[Zero]

I still haven't checked this out

Charlton Heston was on a roll back in the 60s. Ben hur was great too.

And he finished the decade off with Planet of the Apes, which is one of my favorite sci-fi films ever.
