Based on the novel Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell, the production of a film with the same name is world-famous. With its release date falling in 1939, the movie starred Clark Gable, Leslie Howard, Vivien Leigh, and Olivia de Havilland and went on to win multiple academy awards for its apparent ability to capture the Old South as it was before the coming of the American Civil War.

Both the movie and the book “Gone with the Wind” have had a great influence on the culture of the whole world, let alone the United States. First and foremost, it should be admitted that this very movie is nothing but one of the best movies Hollywood has ever created. The images of main characters Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler have become real symbols of the twentieth century. Undoubtedly, it is really very hard to argue with its greatness, however, when it comes to real historical acts, is this movie a good example? This movie of the Old South, which ...
