McDaniel and the other black actors in the movie were unable to attend the blockbuster film’s premiere in Atlanta because the theater was segregated. At the Oscars ceremony in a Los Angeles Hotel, “Gone with the Wind” producer David O. Selznick had to “call in a special favor” so that McDaniel would be allowed to attend, according to the. She was seated at a separate table in the back from the rest of the cast and crew.
The movie became the highest-grossing film in history at the time it was released and set a record for most Oscar wins. It was also selected for preservation in the Library of Congress’s National Film Registry. But criticism of the movie has only increased over time, though there is at least one scene that historians may view as still historically accurate: the scene in which Scarlett O’Hara, played by Vivien Leigh, slaps an enslaved woman named Prissy, played by Butterfly McQueen.White women’s role in slavery has taken center stage recently with the release of historian Stephanie E.
Wish he’d go with the wind somewhere far away!
OUR GREAT HISTORICAL EMPIRE HAS ESTABLISHED ITS HISTORICAL FINEST FILM AWARD TO A HISTORICALLY OCCUPIED ALIEN STATE HISTORICALLY FOR THE FIRST HISTORICAL TIME IN HISTORICAL HISTORY !!!
Spoken like a true racist
He probably watched and liked the porn version of Gone with the wind starring Stormy!
I'll be glad when Trump's wind is gone.
Your cancel culture is stupid.🙄
This is one of the worst tweets in the history of the Internet. GWTW is the highest grossing movie in world history by a WIDE MARGIN. Attacking Trump for liking it is literally psychotic and SO discrediting to WaPo. Just embarrassing. TrumpDerangementSyndrome
2012 version: “Obama loves Gone With the Wind. Historians say it’s a must-see.”
Trump was using Gone With Wind as comparison to the present movies. It was about movies than won awards not about what historians wrote about. Common sense is not common even for a huge newspaper.
What is symbolism? The storm is coming, and communists in Hollywood will be “gone with the wind”.
Frankly my dear......
The blk actress won an award in that movie, the first for a blk person. Grow up, all this racist garbage is just that ! It was a great movie, great acting.
TRUMP gone with the wind.
Interesting. I have always found it to be disgusting on multiple levels, so I guess it’s just one more difference between me and the orange boneyank. Oh, loved Parasite btw.
Great movie!!!
Wait are we not allowed to like a movie if it depicts racism? I hate Trump but this is stupid.
'At the Oscars ceremony in a Los Angeles Hotel, “Gone with the Wind” producer David O. Selznick had to “call in a special favor” so that McDaniel would be allowed to attend (...). She was seated at a separate table in the back from the rest of the cast and crew.' Despicable...
I loved the book and the movie! It shows strong women during a turbulent time.
Y’all do realize hollywood does not make historically accurate movies, right? It’s purely for entertainment. Gone With The Wind isn’t a true documentary. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 kids
Another hard-hitting journalistic piece. 🙄
Frankly, Donald, I don't give a damn...
Are you trying to say that a fictional movie is not historically accurate? Well that explains why I can't find Gotham City or Metropolis on the map. GoneWithTheWind FakeNews
FAKE NEWS also hates the 1st African American woman to win an Oscar. Hattie McDaniel should be celebrated. Not at FAKE NEWS.
Ok
Crack reporting team
'McDaniel and the other black actors in the movie were unable to attend the blockbuster film’s premiere in Atlanta because the theater was segregated.' This is horrible...
No surprize here. Trump surely relishes the roguish character of Rhett Butler, swanky rich handsome (to some) white guy with women flopping all over him and swooning. Gag! And loves that Rhett/he has loads of financial power. D.T. simply wants more and more and more.
Trump has better taste than historians. - Confirmed
