GONE WITH THE WIND BY MARGARETTE MITCHELL

 

Gone with the Wind 

    I had the great opportunity to watch Gone With the Wind and I can say that the theater was nearly full, and I thought that it was interesting that a seventy-year-old film would have this much power over audiences who would never had seen it when it debuted.

    However, as I watched it, the audience reaction had me wondering about how the film is seen by today's viewer, especially one who hasn't come across it. 

    Ultimately, Gone With the Wind will have a hold on audiences until the last copy disappears from history, and even then, the memory will still possess the imagination of romantics long after we've all passed from the scene. It is a Great Film, made with great care by craftsmen in front and behind the camera. Thus, it will be enjoyed by generations of film lovers.

In The Water Dancer, narrator Hiram Walker explores the nature of slavery from the inside.For Hiram and other Tasked people, slavery is a lack. A lack of control, a lack of hope, a lack of stability, and a lack of simple everyday comforts enjoyed by the Qualit...
