How do you remember GWTW?

Asked by Jeruba (55830points) July 2nd, 2016

Gone with the Wind: even now, it’s probably as well known by its initials as LOTR. The book came out in 1936 and the movie in 1939. It left an indelible mark on American culture.

1. Have you read the book?
2. Have you seen the movie? If so, how recently?
3. What did or does it mean to you? Do you recall it warmly, angrily, nostalgically, or what?
4. Are you a Southerner or a Yankee (by birth or by adoption)?

This question was prompted by a question posted yesterday in honor of the 100th birthday of Olivia de Havilland, one of the principal cast members in the 1939 movie. Her three costars have been gone for decades.
