When analyzing a piece of historical fiction, one needs to know what is being said in this piece of media, what do the writers and director mean to say in a given scene or film, and to know where this thought process comes from. Gone With the Wind is a premier movie of the Civil War and the Reconstructon era. In a 4-6 page paper with specific evidence from the film, is Gone with the Wind a Lost Cause movie or is it a criticism of the The Lost Cause, or put another way, is the movie glorifying the Confederacy or is it being critical of the Confederacy and its principles. dont watch the movie just look up a summary and 4 pages is good enough
