In 1939 David O Selznick produced a film of Margaret Mitchell s Pulitzer Prize winning novel Gone with the Wind The movie proved to be among the most important in the history of world cinema To this day in fact it remains the American box office champion

The reading and the lecture are both about the criticism of the gone with the wind movie. The reading author feels that the gone with the wind movie was a racist work against black Americans. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. She believes that the movie did not show any racism, and the critics exaggerated it.

To begin with, the author argues that the movie's main character, a slave owner, went to the war to protect his right to own African Americans. The article mentions that the main character's decision to go to the war was foolish and rash, and he did not suggest the idea of preserving the right of owning African Americans.

Secondly, the writer suggests that the movie described and showed life in America during slavery as a golden age. The lecturer, however, refutes this by mentioning that, on the contrary, the movie depicted life before the civil war and during the days of slavery in America as the day with limited opportunities for women in America. She elaborates this by bringing up the point that women had more opportunities after the war than ever before.

Finally, the author posits that Butterfly McQueen's performance was full of obeying the rule and showed personality weakness. In contrast, the lecturer's position is that Butterfly added a repulsive element to the character. She notes that McQueen showed unafraid to disobey the orders.
