Clark Gable threatened to boycott the Atlanta opening of GWTW if Hattie McDaniel wasn't permitted to sit with the other cast members. He only relented when she specifically asked to go, while she declined to attend. At the Hollywood opening, he sat next to her....they remained life long friends. The warmth and equality of their on screen relationship was genuine.
Their friendship dates from their prior costar in the 1930s films China Seas and Saratoga.
Back in those days it was said he had "a stroke of the tar brush" meaning he had Black ancestry. Same for Ava Gardner.
@@mdeborah827 May be true for Ava Gardner, but not Clark Gable. All his great grandparents were from Germany or Ireland.
@@JudgeJulieLit A lot of them hid this ancestry. It was called passing for White. J Edgar Hoover was another one. You would be surprised at the positive relationships between Germans & Blacks in the U.S. There are issues in U.S. that most are too fragile to handle.
@Tilly Divine JudgeJulieLit A lot of them hid this ancestry. It was called passing for White. J Edgar Hoover was another one. My Grandmother was her hairdresser for awhile. Ava Gardner was passing for White. I know it's hard to hear but passing is huge in the U.S. Look at Carol Channing and Dinah Shore or Pres Eisenheur's Mom. All passed. I know, its hard for you to see it but perhaps you should let it be because real American truth might give you a heart attack.
Said it a million times: Mammy was the only one with any sense & was the glue that held the whole mess together. No shit to talk about Mammy.
BUT she was also the most loyal to the white people... always supporting them... even AFTER slavery ended.
@@bttffreak4 ,she was very good friends with Clarke Gable
The Kyle Files she was emotionally attached to them for Christ sake. It’s not that it’s right, but that’s how humans are
fullplate100, Agreed. Mammy in the only person with any common sense.
The O'Hara girls were her children
I never realize she (Hattie McDaniel) had the most lines in the film. She really did deserve that Oscar.
She shore did deserve it.
@@ginapierre7618 are you trying to be funny ?
Even if there had been fewer lines, McDaniel made the most of every word. It was an amazing performance.
@@ruthpurkey5682 following in Hattie’s footsteps, hopefully lil Kim will win a career award for longest tenure depicting an African prostitute in a musical video!
I read that Vivien Leigh -- the female lead as Scarlett -- had the most scenes and lines to play in the film, yet was paid far less than costar Clark Gable, who had demanded high enough pay to divorce his demanding wife so he could marry Carole Lombard.
I cannot even begin to express how much I love and respect Hattie McDaniel. She was a treasure!!!!!!
How dare you cut it before we get to see Mammy's red petticoat.
What the heck are they cutting up a Classic Movie for shame on them. Guess I best get the video while I still can. This is so stupid a classic and you want to cut it. Hope the Old Mill is still in the beginning up is right up the road in North Little Rock, Arkansas. If we keep giving in to every thing these people want when will it all stop.
@@dustyd48 This is a cut of scenes of people of color. It is not a different version of the film.
❤
The look she gives him as she lifts her skirt is priceless!!
Mammy was the boss indeed , love her character .
@Derrick Langford but she came across as boss .
Based Mammy
@@jangoslin8258 mammy is the best
Scarlet and Mammy own this movie. Hattie just did it with far less screen time.
Mamie was the boss, especially with Rhett
Sure.
No she was simply allowed to speak to him that way.
I love how Mammy is the only character who sees right through Scarlett's bullshit xD
Along with Rhett!
I loved mammy too , and Rhett too , he gave mammy a red undershirt.I loved the movie , but i did not like Scarlett.She was not a Nice person.
Definitely. Spot on. I wish people would look at her character.
Mammy took no shit. I like that she stood her ground no matter who the person was or how much money they had.
Both Rhett, and Mamie, read Scarlett, little a cheap paperback novel...
Hattie McDaniel killed it in this movie!
Killed what?!
Mammy actually was the wisest charectar of the whole move. I love her and Prissy. She was anything but a submisve person. She always told everyone what she thought and what was on her mind.
“You settin there waitin for him jussst like a SPIDAR.” Best line reading.
I think this shows what great actresses that Hattie McDaniel in particular and Butterfly McQueen were.
They made indelible impressions with relatively little screen time and limited roles that romanticized slavery.
We have to see movies as fictional and also a reflection of a period of time in history!
Yeah, instead of banning them.
Aside from slapping Prissy, on the whole Scarlett treated the black members of her household better than the white members.
I think she only did it because Prissy went hysterical, for her to come back to her senses.
That wasn't a accurate in terms of history
Scarlett was stressed out
Butterfly McQueen said in an interview: "Prissy was awful. I think she should have been slapped often" … then she giggled
Sargon 01
She was. First, she promised Ashley she would care for Melanie. Then Aunt Pity and the other Wilkes relatives evacuated and left her alone. Prissy lying about her knowledge of midwifery was the final straw
“ What gentlemen says and what theyTHINKS is two different things.” Truer words never spoken.
No one seems to understand Scarlett was like Mamie's child as she took care of her from baby to adult The color of skin was not a thing they thought about. Mamie would have stayed with Scarlett until she died.
No that is not accurate. Although Mammy did feel motherly towards Scarlett and her sisters, Mammy knew these white woman owned her. But she refused to treat them unkindly. She chose to do her best towards them.
Are you serious? Wow so misguided. Watch this to get realty of what Black people are thinking about.czcams.com/video/WWwOi17WHpE/video.html
You delusional female ..
No one seems to understand that "Mammie" was a SLAVE. It doesn't matter how wise or motherly she was towards any child she was entreated with helping to raise... she was still a SLAVE, w/ no autonomy at all whatsoever. Her entire life was serving the family that enslaved her.
Hattie carried this great film. Mammy was a real Mom to scarlett she kept her "right". As a child I always wanted someone like Hattie to take care of me like a mother, I truly loved her.
Me too
The book makes you appreciate Ellen more.
GWTW is criticized by some today. But considering it takes place in the South during the Civil War and this was filmed in 1939 while lynchings were still occurring down there, then
the depictions of Afto-Americans might be considered sympathetic for the times. Certainly Hattie McDaniel took her part and ran with it. The film would not have been the same without her.
U wanted a mammy ? An old black woman?
Oh brother. smh
I wouldn't of minded my self.
Mammie is such an Icon 😍
I don’t think people are understanding the reality of things.. the black people in this film paved the way to have the Denzels, Violas, and Lupitas....
These people paid their DUES. They were paid, earned a living and had careers... you have to remember that during these times, placing a black person on film and paying them to do it was an accomplishment in itself.
Then, it wasn't until the TV version of "Amos 'n' Andy" in the early fifties until you saw another one, except on rare occasions. Even then, they were not the stars of the show. Quite the contrary. The TV Amos 'n' Andy was a big breakthrough and was an all-black cast as well.
100%
Then in the 70’s they had several all black sitcoms that did very well which led up through the Cosby Show & Fresh Prince. Many many black movie & tv stars owe these actors for paving the way for their careers. They were groundbreaking.
Stop all this reality talk. Our masters have determined that we are supposed to be living in a twisted fantasy world now!
the other breakthrough came with Sidney Poitier..."To Sir with love"....then "Guess who is coming to dinner"....Fantastic. and in music Louis Armstrong...Nat King Cole...
Both Clark and Vivien ADORED Hattie
And Rhett adored Mammy.
Yeah, sure... they adored them so much they kept them as Service Pets! If that's how white folks adore, stay the hell away from me. IJS
@vestiphobe My, are you blind.
They adored Hattie alright...
What those laaaazy bums "adored" was Hattie waiting on them hand and foot!
This movie was a shame & disgrace towards Blacks.
But...
"We shall overcome some day!!!!!!!"
@@patrickanitataylor4905 The poster was referring to the ACTORS Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh who worked alongside the ACTOR Hattie McDaniel and loved and respected her as a person and FELLOW ACTOR. One day maybe you will overcome your ignorance. But it isn't likely
This movie is historical for a lot reasons. Good or bad, history needs to be studied and learned from.
@doingitnowoncemore I think you're a half baked moron. No Jews told me to think that. I figured that out all on my own. But admittedly that was an easy one.
I love this movie but it is not what I would call historically accurate.
Yes, but lessons are taught in schools and museums. If you think movies have audiences of scholars you have some learning to do!!!
lionharehart It’s historical for its portrayal of black Americans in the 1930s. Why only read about it in a textbook at school when you can watch it for yourself. So many morons in the world. Too many.
@@Ktheodoss sorry did you say portrayal of blacks in the 1930s? The civil war was in the 1860s. GWTW was written in the 30's by a white woman who was depicting a romanticized version of the old South. While many characters are portrayed sympathetically, there has been a plethora of commentators that have decried its lack of authenticity
Mammy pouring her heart out to Melanie was a masterclass of acting! Brava, Hattie McDaniel!
One of the best movies ever made.
One of the greatest films ever.
Hattie McDaniel won the Supporting Actress Oscar for this role, but at the Oscar ceremony, she was forced to sit at a blacks-only table, separate from the rest of the cast.
+Shaun Heenan She was also received a lot of criticism from the NAACP and was called an "Uncle Tom" for it as well.
Damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
Cause it ain't fittin'.
She should have refused the role so then she could be nearly unknown today. That would be a smart move.
She said i better play a maid. Then be a maid.
BUTTERFLY MCQUEN = ask yourself where in Augusta her house is/was - where she died as a real maid since Hollywood gave her no more roles for not wanting to play a maid... HATTIE told her shew complained too much and she would get no more work if she wasnt grateful for their maid roles.. and look how true that came to be and how we praise the one who took her award at a hotel where no blacks were allowed as a booby prize - so she kept her Hollywood fiends happy. A story is here and Ms Hattie is a hero figure - but she was NOT my hero. I left applause behind to stick to the dignity of it like Butterfly did. WE have MANY artists like that who wont blow up if it means crossing a principality. WE need to stop doing that as PEOPLE (of all races and genders) STOP applauding who is ON STAGE and LOOK AT THE WHOLE CAST to know the story - then applaud...
One of the best movie of all times and doesn’t deserve to be punished.
Mummy loved the family and she almost run to them all.
Margareth Mitchell wrote the book based on her ancestors.
I didn’t see this movie, considering skin colour , I considered the feeling of each character and the terrible situation in a terrible Civil War.
No one pay attention, when Moomy lets know to Scarlet that her mother died because she was infected for taking care of a “white trash”.
Gone with the wind forever 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍♥️♥️
Loved the family?? They owned her. Maybe you can see it without the lens’s of race but some people don’t have that luxury
@@alecsteele4458 gone with the wind is great and I will watch it over and over why because I found every convincing 2 part video cold crash productions should we still be watching gone with the wind which I am not recommending to you
She knew how to make the best of her situation. Having no children of her own she "adopted" these girls
So glad to see this! But you missed one! The night of Frank's death the officer is quizzing Melanie, and Mammy gets in his face and says " Don't you doubt Miss Mellie's word!" A great performance. That long, long take on the stairs after Bonnie's death is a tour de force!
"It ain't fittin', just ain't fittin'! It ain't fittin'!" I love that line! :D
For Pete’s sake; Leave “GWTW” ALONE!!!!!!!
I love Hattie McDaniel
She was a fantastic actress....as were all the black actors .....
Except for the whining crybaby, goodness! She was freaking annoying!
Anna Harry “ I was referring to Prissy’s character with that high squealed pitch voice, she was kind of annoying to me in the film”.
@@queenleorobi8253 -I thought you were talking about Ellen O'Hara.
First the movies, then the statues, then the music, then the books and finally the people themselves.
Imagine if all the whites of America were driven out and had to mass migrate and take over Africa or Mexico. And then America becomes a 3rd world country and people beg to go to white NeoAfrica. That'd be rich and ironic.
Why do you care? It was 1939. Things were different then. Doesnt make it right but it cant be changed
I love the lines: " Miss Scarlett why did you not asked them gentlemen to stay for supper?"" HOld on and suck in". great lines from a true Christian Lady!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great performances by all, especially Hattie McDaniel as Mammy. The reason some hate this movie and call it a false portrayal of slavery is that they want slave owners portrayed as brutal and uncaring and slaves portrayed as acting like they cared for their owners, but really didn't and all never doing as the slaves in this movie-speaking their mind such as when Mammy did. They feel that showing some slave owners not being brutal makes slavery seem okay, that isn't true. These people were still owned. No matter how kind a slave owner was, it was still wrong to own another human being unless it is under a voluntary basis or an involuntary basis that is truly right and legal and rules are in place to prevent abuses.
I would have changed one thing about this presentation (but that's just me). The scene when Mammy and miss Melanie walk up the stairs, and Mammy pours out her heart about the strife that has hit the family, is one of the most moving on film. I would have included Olivia DeHaviland's dialogue as well, because it doesn't distract from McDaniel's performance, it gives it context and continuity. She deserved the Oscar for that scene alone.
All actors and actresses were great 👍 it was wonderful movie. One of the best in this era.
Breaks my heart to think such a great work is being slandered and destroyed.

The world went crazy lately
@@johnboys4697 My parents were hippies. They tried to hide it but truth is they never got over the shame of how they behaved during the 60s. This will be no different.
@@mygoogleemail2063 the difference is the hippies didn't really get *whatever* they wanted. Society didn't completely kowtow to them like it's doing to BLM and social justice warriors now. Also, hippies cleaned up after themselves and things like Woodstock were remarkably peaceful, considering. Today, not so much. Today's protestors are getting whatever they want with zero consequences, and they'll keep it up until people start saying "enough."
Willwork4 XRP I’m black and have no problems with this movie. I have no problems with blazing saddles by Mel Brooks who always made a mockery of racism in his own why. It’s time for a change yes but we don’t have to lose our minds.
@@mygoogleemail2063 You guys are really debating whether or not hippies were good against a blood-thirsty pro-war America. You're both the problem with the US.
I just love Thelma "Butterfly" McQueen's voice. I absolutely melt listening to her speak.
Yes this movie highlights racism and probably had racism during production of the film.....we are talking about a film made in the 1930s. I look at it for the sign of the times it was made. And the 1800s was clear blacks were treated like this so why hide or pretend it didn't? I don't look at race (that's coming from a black girl). I solely look at this film as a romantic film. It's one of the most romantic films of all time and we certainly don't have enough of those since Hollywood is so focused on Action/blockbusters.
You're right... it's a film about a young woman-- Scarlett O'Hara-- and the backdrop is the Civil War and Reconstruction. If you're an aficionado of literature, you see that this book/film is about Scarlett O'Hara's character growth from a young girl to a fully mature woman, through extremely turbulent times.
Agreed
Truly, an incredible movie. Because it is.
You missed a few, like Mammy telling Ward Bond, "Don't you doubt Miss Melanie's word!"
I feel kind of cheated.
i thought that was ward bond. he was in a lot of great movies ex its a wonderful life
And yet this video advertizes itself as "every single word spoken by a person of color."
@@herlastvoyage . The man at 2:40 doesn't look like a person of color to me.
Gone with the wind was the last movie my mother and I went to before she died in1959. I've watched it every year since. I always thought Manny was head of the household. Loved her
who's here after the HBO Max announcement?
Nothing like fighting racism by throwing away the first movie to get a black person an oscar
That’s exactly what I was thinking
Me 👍
Stupidity. Unbelievable!
@@celtichound9889 You know, I don't want to see "Gone with the Wind" be banned. I like the movie a lot. It's one of the few movies on TCM that I'll see over-and-over-again. BUT YOU GOTTA KNOW WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT. And. If one can watch this clip and not recognize the racists' notions in it, then THAT ALONE IS DISTURBING. Let's see now, the blacks in the movie were portrayed as being happy and content in their bondage, and EXTREMELY LOYAL to their white masters, to the point where we see some of them marching off to war, to help fight those evil invading Yankees, to help save the Confederacy. And a number of the black characters were portrayed as childlike. WHY IN THE WOLRD WOULD ANY AFRICAN-AMERICAN HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THAT????? As I said, if one can't recognize the racists' notions depicted here, that is disturbing.
Now the movie is from another time, a less 'ENLIGHTENED TIME" so it's possible to tolerate its racism and enjoy the movie, as just a piece of a great movie-making, and as a landmark film. Also, if we are going to start banning Hollywood films for having racist elements in them, we would be banning quite a lot of films from the 1910's through the 1950's. And we would be banning a lot more films if we also banned films from that time period that had sexists elements in them. So I'm not for banning films. But again, you have to understand what you are looking at.
“Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.”
The best part of the movie!
Sometimes I just need to hear Mammy. She makes me feel safe and at home. I watched GWTW so often with my mom and grandmother over the years. They are both gone now. My mom was my best friend. Watching things we watched together is comforting.
These clips really make the whole movie.. I thoroughly enjoyed watching all the clips. Hattie et al really made the movie.
Leave gone with the wind alone. It's part of history we used to think this now we think that. Next will be Shirley temple...a talented man who worked with kids disappears as the roll model he was...Yes Bo Jangles.
People who deny the past are destined to repeat it...
@@katecourt4242 you are so right
My my, no condemnation at all. We used to think like that, no thankfully we know better. Go on say it I dare you. Acknowledge that it was wrong.
diane shelton I have to agree with you, it is true we Used to think like that, past tense not present, thankfully most people have moved on. Thing about the past is we can learn from it, but we don't live in it.
Really you think we know better now We have a white supremacist and most likely a Nazi in the white house!
If you have seen GWTW, you know that Mamme is a strong character. And believe it or not slaves did have a lot of latitude in running the plantation household. Same applied to plantation field hands. It was akin to English butlers or serfs being in charge of managing their own plot or garden. In England it was called servitude. In America is was called slavery. But you did have immigrants from the European lower classes that also worked in plantation homes or fields (indentured). As did Asian immigrants and poor White Southerners who were desperate for work. If you pay close attention to the film you will note friction existed between the White social classes in the Antebellum period. This was a common occurrence in 19th Century life. Both here and in Europe. For example, the O'Haras were Irish. Even if they had wealth, they were looked down upon for being Irish. In those days the Irish, Scottish, Asians, British lower classes and Blacks were often lumped by society into the same category. My point is GWTW is not a racist film. It reflects what life was like in the 19th Century. And that just didn't involve slavery as I have shown.
Its called acting folks. They are playing a character. And getting paid. Imagine that.
Hattie McDaniel an Oscar winner !
If I'm not mistaken the announcer at the Oscars said that That she was a credit to her race!And he honestly thought that was a compliment.
No, you are wrong . Listen to her speech . SHE said it . The speech was written by a white man and she had to read what the white person told her to read. It is said she was told what to say .
Hattie did what she did to pave the way for the Lena Halle lupita villas not to mention she had her own maid at home. Hats off to Hattie.
Mammy was the best part of this movie 😍 Hattie was as luxurious as scarlett in real life!
I had no idea there were so many delightful moments in GWTW. And Hattie McDaniel steals them all.
One of my favorite movies. I promise. Racist? Listen to who has the most advice, the most wisdom.
Now you know why Hattie McDaniel won the Oscar, she was magnificent. Most White people I knew growing up (in the South) LOVED the character of Mammy because she was tough, no B.S. and told it like she saw it. We considered "Scarlett" a coniving (B-sord). Melanie Wilkes approached sainthood, Ashley was kind of worthless, Rhett, the other person who was considered genuine. Clark Gable had false teeth. The REAL tragedy of that era was that Gone With The Wind had more African American actor participation than most films of the time, except the all black films like 'Green Pastures" and "Cabin in the Sky." The film "Pinkie" was in many ways both meanigful and relevant. Lena Horne wanted the part, but they gave it to Jean Crain who had "blue eyes." Hollywood always opted for "myth" rather than realism in those days, and the myth of White Supremacy was more alive then than now. And lastly when Hattie McDaniel DID win the Oscar, the NAACP and other similar organizations protested and blamed Ms. McDaniel for winning it playing a maid. They also criticized her personlly for all of the "domestic" parts she played, as if it was HER fault that was all that was available then. Talk about a "Barrel Full of Crabs !!"
I didn’t know that abt the NAACP, after Ms McQueen left Hollywood because of the only parts available to Black actors, Hattie said I’d rather be paid to act as a maid than to be a maid, I agree abt Scarlett, she was a nasty piece of work, and Ashley was a wuss
This movie is a classic people need to leave the movie alone its past history and cannot be changed
I don't see acting like this anymore. What a tribute to these fine actors! Thank you so much for posting this.
Enough is enough! Our past is our past. You don’t throw it away. The first time I saw Gone With the Wind, I was probably a teenager and I completely fell in love with Mammy! She was so beautifully drawn as a character. She was an absolute force of nature, and wisdom, and heart. You do not erase a character like that!!!!
But some people say the portrayal of slavery was not our past, that it is inaccurate. That is not true.
What a fantastic movie. Such a shame HBO won't show it anymore. That does nothing but take an opportunity for someone who has never seen it away. Cancelled my HBO.
They only took it down long enough to add a disclaimer.
But you're too privileged to cancel your entire cable package. White problems are nothing but pissy panties!!
Is it any wonder why Hattie McDaniels won an Oscar. So great 👍
Prissy is an embarrassment but Pork, Uncle Peter and especially Mammy are dignified intelligent characters. Peter basically runs Pittys house, and Mammy has common sense and sees the true Scarlett beneath the facade that others see
This is brilliantly edited. I loved every minute of it because Hattie & Butterfly are charismatic Hollywood stars doing the best they can under difficult circumstances, playing the stereotyped maids. Vivien Leigh's silence enables the viewer to concentrate on Hattie's brilliant performance. She really does make an impression & deserved that Oscar, compensation for the lack of multi-faceted roles & discrimination she faced in Hollywood.
Did anyone ever stop and think about whatever happened to Mammy's own children?
If you read the sequel, "That Wind done Gone" it details the life of Mammie's daughter
Trey I do
Trey not an issue. I am fine being in the minority with my views. Freedom of thought is a beautiful thing
They were sold
She didn't have any
So much respect to the filmmakers of this film because it is the first for a person of Colour to get an Oscar and they really fought for her to get it
Love this! Great job. You missed one of my favorite lines though - when Mammy scolds the Yankee captain, “don’t you doubt Miss Melly’s word!”
This was painful to watch especially Prissy... Hattie McDaniel deserved all of her awards.
Butterfly McQueen handled this far worse than Hattie McDaniel did. She didn't have a good life overall, and I don't think it ended well for her either. She always seemed kind of distant in her interviews, though, and there was more resentment on her part and being cast in the sort of role than there was on Hattie McDaniel's part.
At least these people were working and not living off the system
your idiotic comment was painful to read
@@johnboys4697 😂😂😂...I take it your cousin was working as well
Mammy was the real guiding light in Scarlet’s life.
There's that great moment in "04:30" when "Prissy" appears to say "F-- you" to Scarlett! -- and then on the "f" sounds she says "Few" -- and continues singing "Just a FEW more days, for the Tote the Weary Load"!!
Nothing like that in the clip. Just another example of seeing stuff you want to see.
Now YOU get the whole fact AND conept right! Thank oyu Javier! By the way "Prissy" Butterly McQueen never really worked in Holywood again (like Hattie told her for al that complaining abou tthe role). And guess what? That Legendary woman died from kerosine burn in her augusta place where greyhound ahd kist had her put in jail thinking she was a bag lady. She had to be a maid in real life since Holloywood blacklisted her and Hattie kissed clark gables ass. NOW Mr Gable seemed REAL NICE and genuine fior real. Reas - seen intercviews - get a sense - Hatrtie? Ok well she is still famous and defended for taking soealiy waht Prissy said HELL NO F tjis give me better!! (and so sorry - eyes really blurred with meds noiw but I really wanted to join the inteelect here. So sorry for all these types. I'm older now and working on adjusting) ty

You know what I? I enjoy conversation thar include both shared enlightenment

are hostile debates.Now I speak to people in the manner in which I would like to be spoken and do expect that back. What do not tolerate under any circumstance is to be spoken down to, mocked, or otherwise handled with disregard and disrespect. We live in a time when now that so much technology is available we CAN share and talk about the broken nkts.of info and stories that were written and filed into OUT HISTORY by press and other official sources. Many printed half truths and sqayed stories to their causes. As we sit here in cyber places trying to add what we knew and refer to those source sto sort it out- dogging each other will not help. And to boot - I'm a black woman and this is my own history I was written out of and still being written out of even in the proof of the white house work i did in my lifetime the archives are already closed and new stories without my name are posted and referred to. This is MY HISTORY NOW AND THEN and in these ways America does not include or acknowledge me. And you on this post were I am trying g to clarify as safe my historical notations- speak down to me with hostility and mockery??. What Hell America is for me even as I have given 30 years of my life in service to her including 8 whote house years - this is supposed to add to the cotton that my very own great grandmother picked snd kept buds in a frame with one voton.ball full of blood to remind us her life and home we were raised in was built with slave blood. Your tone to me is in NO WAY respectful of my history nor existence.
If the people who were in this movie only knew what the future generations has done to bring down every thing they worked for down.
Gone With The Wind is the all time classic and I never thought about color reading or watching it
This was a great movie
There's actually people who think this movie and Songs of the South not only not racist but have respectable black roles.... just let that shit sink in.
+teddybruscie Probably some of the same people who want to re-label those brought to the states as slaves as 'migrant workers'
+teddybruscie With Song of the South, the sad thing is, it was rather progressive for the time. It was in the same era as Warner Brother's 'Scrub me Momma With the Boogie Beat'. How times change, yet remain the same.

I'd disagree with 'hardly anything', that throws away everything accomplished, from civil rights to the legalization of interracial relationships. That's not something to lightly dismiss. In movies less has changed, but we're not exactly keen on thins like Birth of a Nation anymore. And that perhaps is the crux of the issue. With all the changes society as a whole has undergone, why haven't movies kept pace? There was a time that movies like this were deeply controversial whereas what do we have now?
Once the artform of movies had something to say on these issues, but its message now has become outdated and irrelevant. What this series and things like it will hopefully do is inspire something better, make directors get their act together.
*****
Agreed. I think a big problem is the same as what has struck the video game industry; projects are big and expensive and profit-focused. It's astounding how even something profitable can be canned if it's not profitable enough. (As an example Mad Max may not get a sequel, it didn't do as well overseas as expected.) And diversity, well that may not be as profitable as the status quo right now. It's the same thing that gives us endless sequels and games about some middle aged white guy with stubble and brown eyes.
I don't know how long things will stay this way, the spiraling costs of movies have crushed more than a few studios and aren't sustainable. My hope is that diversity will become the only option, that as audiences get bored of the same old the only way to attract new customers will be to appeal to those that have been ignored until now. The pressure of money is about the only thing they'll listen to.

I think you can see this with the Oscars, they're as diverse as a jar of mayo, but they're also increasingly irrelevant. The movies that get the awards do worse and worse, there's all sorts of archaic rules and a desperate scramble behind the scenes to do something, anything, to fix them. They're a bunch of old white guys slowly dying out. Replacing the are young white guys of course, with the new media and Indy scene, but they at least are usually more open to new ideas of all kinds. I think a lot of what we do now is going to fall over at some point, in the same way VHS tapes did, the world is just changing too much to support the old ways.
I love when Rhett says Mammy is “one of the few people I know whose respect I’d like to have”, then gradually earns her respect by giving her the petticoat and having a good heart despite Mammy thinking he’s a rogue.
Thank you , Dylan, for this OUTSTANDING video...I appreciate your hard work🐼
great video. good work. some wise words by mamie, we should all listen to her.
I love "Gone with the wind" and adore Mammy....
The fact that this video is 2x as long as the whole Harry Potter franchise video is really jarring to me
coolieolulu
Same. The fact that Harry Potter is 7 movies long. And also the fact that gone with the wind was made in 1939 and had more POC dialogue than Harry Potter.
Hattie Mc Daniel and Butterfly Mc Queen are perfection! The black actors are the best part!
But this is like a five hour movie. He should put the percentage of the movie this is.
you so right it hurts on multiple levels
+Angela Is here 5%ish (still more than HP, even if it's stereotypical and offensive)
CartwAalbiel It's not offensive it's a portrayal of history, good and bad, you absolute moron.
It is not up to you to say what Dylan should or shouldn't do, is it?
You are free to use the comments in a constructive manner, like by calculating and posting that percentage yourself.
ixlnxs wow thank you so much for getting mad about a comment I wrote 4 years ago.
Hattie ,was a gem ,just like butterfly. She was a little bossy,but she took good care of the family. I loved her performance in this picture. She was a wise and strong women. I would of loved,to meet her and butter fly.
Hattie McDaniel, "Mammy" won an Academy Award "Oscar" for Best Supporting Actress.
I haven't seen this movie in a long time. I mainly remember how spoiled Scarlet was. Now watching this clip, I think Mammy was funny, bossy, wise and fun to watch. She didn't put up with much nonsense. I like this character. Makes me want to see this movie again. Hattie McDaniel was excellent.
If tears don't come to your eyes as Hattie McDaniel as Mammy pours out her distress at Rhett Butler's grief over his daughter's death, you have a heart of stone.
It was a great movie, it’s historical. A different era.
Put this film in its historical context . We must learn not obsfucate
Mickey Kindley I think we should learn to STOP LYNCHING.
U r missing the point of historical context
@@lizziebkennedy7505 Very good.
Favorite movie! 💘 it! Greatest scenes! Thank you so much!
The last time I checked, everyone is a color. 🙄
HELLO EVERYONE HAPPY FRIDAY 🌞, You know, you have to admit it, she was a wonderful actress. She was respect by many people. SHE reminds of our, BIG MOMMA.🤗🤗🤗
Alberto Morin played René Picard, the 'Bidder at Party'.
And from Puerto Rico!
I’ve watched this so many times I’ve lost count and every time it’s like the first! It’s another small piece of history
It aint fittin it just aint fittin.
I dont agree with you but this is a clever statement... Watch D'Jango then tell me this movie is racist.
Interesting.... not one scene shows an unhappy slave, or an angry slave, or a slave who feels oppressed, or a slave who tries to escape....
This ain't roots. The black characters are very one dimensional in gone with the wind:(
That's because in real life they had to act like that so that no harm would come to them from caucasians. Think. Have some empathy for crying out loud...Oh, I forgot...You're not capable of that because you're caucasian.
@@captainarcher2 fool
Anyone who knows about slavery knows every slave was unhappy or angry, felt oppressed and some tried to escape. It was not necessary to show what we already knew. But it was necessary to show that many slaves refused to let such feelings bring them down. They resolved to make the best of their situation, appreciate that they had owners who did not beat them. Hattie's portrayal showed that some slave owners were not afraid to let slaves speak their minds where it concerned caring for the family, including the children. Many slave owners did not allow this.
The squeaky voiced maid sounds like the squeaky voiced cop from Police Academy. Differently, this clip is 14 mins long so in a movie lasting 3 hours...
The staircase scene with Melanie won McDaniel that well-deserved Oscar. A true legend.
Ms. Hattie Mc Daniel so full of wisdom and love. Rest in peace Ms. Hattie. I don't care what anybody says this movie is a classic.
When people like Mammy and Uncle Peter die, it's like a hole forms in the world. It's also a shame that Dilcey wasn't in the movie. Along with Will Benteen, she was one of my favorite characters.
These are all of the best scenes in the movie! My favorite movie! I love 💘 Scarlett mammy Melanie , prissy, ,Rhett and debonair Ashley! Thank you so much for sharing ❤💕!
