I just started watching gone with the wind and 15 minutes in I am already revolted by the depiction of a little girl fanning the 'ladies' while these get a nap.
I understand the context of slavery, I sort of understand when they show the full force of the people picking cotton (which was disgusting as well) and I remember to myself, it's their own time, it already happened. I can sort of add a parallel and re contextualize it as if they are adult "workers", which they are not because I'm pretty sure lot of them were minors
When they show the woman having to serve these people for life, and worry about their kids as if they were hers, because her life depended on it, same thing, one can try to add a similar likeness to a "Nanny", which again she is not
But the little girl having her future just written since before birth that's absolutely disgusting. Why should she be denied of a future built by herself, just to serve these pampered wenches?
I mean son of a fuck
I'll keep watching but holy hell HBO'S warning message before the movie started was on point
