Frankly, Satsuki, I don't give a damn.

My Fair Lady doesn't fare as well with me personally, it's quaint and definitely worth watching but not one of my favorites.

I don't think it's referred to as a "chick flick" as much as it is "glorifying the oppression and intolerance in the deep south". That's what I get from it. Fuck those white ppl.

My ex loved it and she was a beaner. Scarlett is some independent martyr woman whom empowers cunty skanks. Or, that's how I saw it.

I get the female empowerment and Scarlett is indeed a badass, but the "narrator" makes it sound like the slaves were content with their situation and even had love for their masters. That made me throw up a little just to type.

Oh yeah it's total Antebellum bullshit. And to be fair, Mexicans are just as racist as white trash.

They should have had her shown some modicum of sympathy for the Union at one point. Without that, it's hard for non-White, non-Southern, non-females to relate to her or feel bad when she loses everything. The salad days are over; sorry for your bad luck.

A modern viewer is likely going to be at least a little uncomfortable with its, uh, nostalgia. Nothing egregious, though. There have certainly been bigger offenders in mainstream film, like Birth of a Nation or a movie called Triumph of the Will, a buried, nigh-forgotten nugget of esoterica that survives only in the most remote pockets of the cinema-obsessed.
