@@jesseleeward2359 Being aristocratic has nothing to do with being rural or urban, agricultural or industrial. It is a term for someone who is blue-blooded, from a noble family and patrician. Scarlett's mother, Ellen, was from an aristocratic family of French descent, the Robilliards of Savannah, before she married Gerald O'Hara, who came from Ireland. Consider the late Princess Diana: She was born to Viscount John Spencer (who later became the 8th Earl Spencer) and Frances Burke Roche, a daughter of the 4th Baron Fermoy. There are aristocratic families all over Europe. The House of Grimaldi, the House of Hohenzollern, the House of Hesse, and the Tudor dynasty, and many more. You are another victim of the public school system in the US, which is a bastion of mediocrity, and it shows.
@@lindaoneil5085 Um... I am a victim of the New Zealand education system. I am talking about metaphorically, not literally. The film is a piece of fiction and it is using a symbolic language. I am well aware that aristocracy is literally connected to noble titles. And the reason that aristocracy is associated with rural life is because it is a social class that emerged out of land ownership prior to industrialization. In England the Gentry had a similar means of accumulating wealth but they did not have any titles. Southerners saw themselves as 'gentlemen' because they were tied to the land. And Scarlet throwing the land at the Yankee is symbolic of the southern attachment to land in juxtaposition to the northern attachment to money and cash. This is conveyed earlier when Ashley gives her a piece of the land.
@@jesseleeward2359 You made it sound like since Scarlett is part of the Old South in the U.S., she is a stupid country hick who lives on Tobacco Rd. Sounds to me like you're backpedalling.
@@lindaoneil5085 I don't know where I implied she was a country hick. I was agreeing with your point. I am just saying that that the reason Scarlet seems more dignified and aristocratic is because of her connection to land. And the reason Emmy seems more gaudy is because she is wearing flashy 'city clothes', she is not so connected to the land because she represents the urban yankee north. The word 'Aristocratic' has 'land' connotations.
That was another horse they had. His white horse from the start was his prized horse but it was more then likely stolen. He used the brown one after that and clearly it lived him to go to him after the fall.
What's so funny about a man who defended the land that he had worked hard for and the plantation that he built up from nothing? Remember his words from the beginning of this movie: "Why land's the only thing worth working for,, worth fighting for, worth worth dying for. Because it's the only thing that lasts. There, there, you're young. It'll come to you Katie Scarlett, this love of the land, these no getting away from it if you're Irish." And by the way, I'm part Irish as well and the rural Wisconsin township (Town of Emmett, Marathon County, named after the great Irish patriot Robert Emmett) in which I grew up in was settled by the Irish, by men just like Gerald who had dreamed of owning their own land back in the old country and now here they were, with acres to till which they could call their own. "Tis proud I am that I'm Irish" Truer words where never spoken by a man to whom the land on which he lived "was like a mother" to take another one of his quotes. And he defended that land with his dying breath. Perhaps I can relate more to what Gerald's talking about than some because I grew up on a dairy farm in Central Wisconsin and I know that feeling of closeness to the land which you have loved and nurtured and put a part of yourself into just like a mother or father does for their child.
In a dark way I find Scarlets daughters death funny because it’s the same death used twice. And the way Scarlet compares her child to her Pa and speaks the child’s fate into existence is kinda funny to me
@@Bubblegumdum It's foreshadowed in the book as Bonnie is described as "every day it became more obvious that Gerald O'Hara was her grandfather" as she resembles him both physically and personality-wise. However Scarlett isn't responsible for Bonnie's death, Rhett inadvertently causes it by letting Bonnie attempt a jump that is too high for her in a bout of fatherly pride, and it's Rhett's grief and guilt that drives the final wedge between him and Scarlett.
*I was reading the book “Gone With the Wind” to Br’er Rabbit, Br’er Fox, and Br’er Bear. Day after day I told them about Scarlett’s friends and family, about her wanting to marry Ashley Wilkes, the barbecue at Twelve Oaks, the Civil War, and trying to build the life back up after the Yankees attacked Tara.* Br’er Fox: Excuse us. How did Scarlett’s mother and father die? Lauren: Ellen died of typhoid fever, and Gerald fell off his horse while trying to jump the fence. Br’er Rabbit: That’s terrible. Did Ashley ask Scarlett to marry him? Lauren: No, and he won’t either. He’s marrying his cousin, Melanie Hamilton. Br’er Bear: Keep reading. Lauren: Okay. I kept reading to the trio for days. I told them about Scarlett marrying three men over the years. She married Charles Hamilton because she wanted to be near Ashley. Next, she married Frank Kennedy because he’s wealthy. Last, she married Rhett Butler. They were very happy when Rhett and Scarlett had a daughter named Bonnie Blue Butler. Then they became heartbroken when they heard about her death. Br’er Bear: Bonnie suffered the same fate as her grandfather? Lauren: Yes. When Dr. Meade told Rhett that her neck broke, he grabbed his gun and ran outside to shoot the poor pony. Then he wanted to kill himself. Scarlett called him a murderer for teaching their daughter to jump the fence. The funeral was set, but he wouldn’t allow it. Br’er Rabbit: (sadly) That broke my heart. Br’er Fox: (sadly) Don’t tell us anymore about dying. Finish the story. *Then I finished the story of Melanie dying from the complications of her second pregnancy, and Scarlett is trying to find a way to bring Rhett Butler back.* Br’er Rabbit: The story is sad but romantic. Br’er Fox: For once we agree with you. Lauren: I have an idea. If Johnny and Ginny are married and want children, they need to have names. Rhett if it’s a boy or Scarlett if it’s a girl. Br’er Bear: I love that idea. Br’er Fox: Those are great names. Br’er Rabbit: You sure come up with good ideas. Lauren: Sorry it took so long, boys. This is a big book, you know. Br’er Bear: That’s okay. Br’er Rabbit: You had to rest your voice. Br’er Fox: But it was nice hearing you read. Lauren: It’s been turned into a motion picture starring Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable. Jonas Wilkerson was trying to buy Tara from Scarlett, and you boys wanna know what she did? Br’er Rabbit: What? Lauren: She threw a clump of dirt in his face and said, “That’s all of Tara you’ll ever get.” Br’er Fox: Wow. She’s got spunk. Br’er Bear: Why would she do that? Lauren: Because she was told that he became one of the Yankees.
@@jesseleeward2359 Yes, she likened it to people in Atlanta who spent money on parties after the war, when they were buying on credit: trying to preserve traditions which were 'gone with the wind'..
Why? It's a combination of disbelief and horror. In the book she's her father's favourite, and he's just been killed right in front of her eyes. What's funny about that?
@@DavidTheRoss The circumstances under which Gerald broke his neck are different in the book. In the book, Sue Ellen found out that the Yankees wer offering compensation to those whose crops and other property had been destroyed by the war. In order to receive the compensation, though, the person had to sign the Iron Clad Oath. Sue Ellen managed to get Gerald to the claims office, and, in his confused state of mind, he was about to sign the oath. Then, for a moment, he snapped out of it, refused to sign, got drunk, then got on his horse, and broke his neck. In true Southern fashion, everyone condemned Sue Ellen for killing her father for money and wanted to “rawhide” her.

He already did when the Union defeated the Confederacy. What you said is just hateful and pure gloating, considering Gerald lost his beloved wife to typhoid fever and went mad after her death.
'Thats all of Tara you'll ever get!' the best scene in whole movie
The way he yells out, "Yankee coward," not knowing those would be his final words, still sends a chill down my spine every time.
“Yankee Coward!”

I don’t get why Scarlett treats them like trash for no reason.
Cause she is a confederate and spoiled brat who is severely naive
I’m pretty sure it’s because of her mother death
Because she’s defending her home and family. Wilkerson was a yankee
The man’s wife in the red had typhoid which Scarlett’s mother caught from her.
They want to take Tara, that's why and they are trash!
