gone with the wind = overrated.

  • Dude, Gone with the Wind is so effing depressing. I mean, seriously. First Bonnie dies, then Melanie dies, and then Rhett leaves? Like, all within a week?And the ending was really pretty stupid. AND I HATED ALL OF THE CHARACTERS, MAN! Except maybe Rhett, but he was also kind of an asshole. And Bonnie was cute, but she was such a brat. Okay, I liked Beau. But that's just 'cause he was cute and not in any of the scenes. I liked the POV the movie was from though. [Like, the Confederates are the good guys.] It was interesting to see the Civil War like that, because [obviously] when you learn about it in school, you side with the North [because they were right...]. I also liked the part where Ashley and Scarlett are talking about using prisoners for labor and treating them badly, and she says "You weren't so particular on owning slaves" or something and he's like "It's not the same thing. We didn't treat them like this." And I was like "BOOYAH I TOTALLY TALKED TO MY FRIEND ABOUT THAT." Lemme explain: Slavery = very bad. [Obviously.] And obviously, most slaves were treated really horribly. But to assume that ALL slave owners were bad to their slaves is an assumption, a generalization, and a logical fallacy. [I've heard that the Washingtons were actually pretty good to their slaves.] Ah, whatever. And when Scarlett kills the horse when she gets to Tara, why don't they just eat it...? Everyone's all "WE HAVE NO FOOD!" but the horse is just sitting there dead in the front yard. Sure, that might be gross, but if you're starving... I wanted to cry at the end, when Bonnie died, but that was mostly because it's an effing little girl DYING. Other than that, I was just annoyed by the characters. I don't know. I liked it and didn't at the same time. Wouldn't watch it again [dear LORD. Four freaking hours?!] or recommend it to anyone. But it wasn't horrible.
