(From 2006)
Earlier in the month I caught a few minutes of “Gone With the Wind,” a
film I had only seen once before in the 1950s with my parents, when I
was about 12 years old or so. I only remembered two things. One was the
long tracking shot of the wounded Confederate soldiers in Atlanta that
was meant to evoke pity. The other was the newly impoverished Scarlett
O’Hara eating radishes plucked from the ground and vowing never to be
poor again. I imagine that in 1957, this scene might have resonated with
my parents who had vivid memories of going without during the Great
Depression. Such is the troubled legacy of a film that can make such
Jewish working liberals and Americans from all backgrounds feel sorry
for slave-owners at the very time the Civil Rights movement was emerging.
