| + | I was actually watching the special features on the DVD, the making of Gone with the Wind, and the reason the lingo is so 1930s is that Producer David Selznik was not allowed to use the term "negro" in the film or allude to any of the harsh realities of slavery - everything was to be romanticized, even the institution of slavery. Speaking of romanticizing the South, I think some of the biggest forms of propaganda were the words that appeared on the screen, narrating the movie, referring to the Old South as the beautiful days of knights and ladies, of gallant cavaliers, of master and slave, a civilization "Gone with the Wind" after the horrid "Invader" and "Juggernaut" Sherman marched through. ~Juliann Boyles | ||
