1. Relate what was discussed in class or the text to the screening.
In class we discussed how the newspaper was the predominant form of media in the 1940's. This is how the main character gained most of his money. We also talked about the camera angles and how they ere veryimportant. From the beginning with the child outside playing in the snow and the mother and father in the kitchen selling him away. To the love interest scene where at first Kane and his first wife were at the table and how it was a montage over the years and the further and further away they were at the table. I believe the class came to a general conclusions that this film is regarded as one of the best because of the camera angles and the use of the screenplay.

http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/414427/Gone-With-the-Wind/articles.html
this article talks about the signifigance of this movie and how it was one of the longest, most expensive and successful Hollywood films
made up to that point in time. and how it was very risky to even try to make due to the budget. it claims that the movie is one of the best for its time.
3. ) Apply the article to the film screened in class.
as we talked in class we gain knowldge of how the film showed how it was to be in the south. The article also points out that Gone with the Wind also struck the first major blow against
Hollywood's repressive Production Code, presenting an adult view of
marital relations in Scarlett and Rhett's discussions of the place of
sex in their marriage. As such, it led to a softening of the Code that
would gradually bring more adult content to the screen. We learned that at that time sex and powerful independent woman were not really sought after in movies and there was a strict code.
4. ) Write a critical analysis of the film.
This is story of a woman's life during one of the most dangerous
periods in America's history. From her young, innocent days on a
feudalistic plantation to the war-torn streets of Atlanta; from her
first love whom she has always desired to three husbands; from the
utmost luxury to absolute starvation and poverty; from her innocence to
her understanding and comprehension of life. This movie shows the trials and tribulations of blacks and southerners who died or got hurt in the civial war. It is about love, lust,innocence and new beginnings
