Questions!

I am coming up with new questions regarding my topic. My cultural text is Gone With The Wind, a movie made in 1939 that is based on the book “Gone With The Wind.” This cultural phenomenon deals with many issues and raises many questions, like those of race, gender, social class, and nationality. How is racism seen in the movie and in relation to what was going on in 1939? How were African Americans portayed in the movie? How were Southerners and Northerners viewed in the movie? How was the Old South validated? Why did people absolutley love this film, but at the same time why is there so much controvery around it? These are all questions I am trying to find answers to!
