- Filmrecensies
Based on the bestselling novel, the movie that first swept the Oscars, ‘Gone with the Wind’ sets the standard for creating palatable racism. Creating an Antebellum south that never existed and distributing love letters to the KKK. This film actively harmed the black community upon its release and the support this movie garnered led to the continuation of lynching laws. There is a serious argument to be made that this movie shouldn’t be screened because of the harmful ideas it perpetuates. Look no further then its “violently pro Nazi” director Victor Flemming.
