When this movie first came out it was pretty much given a rated of X which then was similar to our now a days R. I have grown up watching this with my grandmother and I remember her telling me that when it first came out she was forbidden to go see it by her parents. She would have been around 15 at that time. | When this movie first came out it was pretty much given a rated of X which then was similar to our now a days R.

| + | The way slaves and the union were portrayed in this movie was a big problem for accuracy. Even after the war the slaves have not left Scarlett and they are still submissive to her and working for her which is just not accurate at all. The key black characters in the movie are shown as completely devoted to Scarlett even after she treats them like crap and the war is over. The movie is entirely biased in that the union perspective is never shown and in the small scenes it does show union characters these scenes all portray negative stereotypes. When a movie is so clearly biased it loses a lot of historical credibility. - Jonathan Bell | ||
