Agreed. I totally get why there’s a stigma around the film because of its portrayal of black people in the south but that film broke a barrier on many fronts, particularly her role as a “supporting actress” which also wasn’t a title many were given in film though they acted closely with their white costars and sometimes shared just as much screen time

@rindoubaka1574 4 жыл бұрын

@@NonchalantDebutante Funny thing with the film is it more so depicts the failure of the south so in a way it was quite progressive for it's time. I mean it obviously has some issues with it's depiction of racism but that is to be expected. I don't like how some people look back at films with their modern day lenses and condemn them as morally repugnant. Sure maybe films like Birth of a Nation but Gone With the Wind was a huge step in the right direction in my opinion.

RindouBaka it’s like that in the book too. It didn’t make the film but there’s a passage of Rhett Butler talking about how slavery was being outlawed all over the world and that the south’s economic model based on slavery didn’t have more than a few decades left whether they won or lost the war. Historians back this view and the author Margaret Mitchell putting it in there is a sign that she was a realist, not a romanticist, about the war era.

Same with Hattie McDaniel opening the door for Dorothy Dandridge (the first black actress to be nominated for Best Actress), and both opened it for Halle Berry, Viola Davis, Whoopi Goldberg, Octavia Spencer and Lupita Nyong'o who all went on to win Oscars for acting.

It is such a shame it took so many years from this to another black actress winning an Oscar. Although she was highly acclaimed, Hattie was away from her co-stars in a remote table as the hotel where the ceremony took place did not allow the entry of black people. Also, the Oscar did not do much to Hattie's career who, out of 94 credited roles, played a domestic in 74 of them. This says a lot about this industry and about how disgusting U.S. history is in this sense. RIP Hattie McDaniel.

Something that is always overlooked is that Hattie's character Mammy was only a slave for the first half of the film. The second half of the film was set after the civil war, and mammy was a free woman. She chose to stay with scarlett, but was now a paid housekeeper. She also was hardly in the first half of the film, was mostly in the second half. And those scenes are the ones that made the impact, the scene on the staircase with Olivia, after Bonnie's death is the scene that really won her the Oscar.

Mammy was a well-respected slave, something southerners often justified in their actions for keeping them; trying to extricate themselves from slave owners that tortured their own. Not only that, she practically ran the household and was the glue that held everyone together when things fell apart. She raised Ellen, her daughters and Bonnie. Scarlett and Rhett respected her opinion. Not sure if she was paid, but she was fiercely loyal and treated like a member of the family.

That is one gorgeous woman. I'd love to see a REAL Hollywood movie about her, Harriet Tubman or Wilma Rudolph. The latter garnered a TV movie - she is so splendid, she deserves the full treatment. From polio victim to the fastest woman in the world? And so gorgeous she turned the eyes of both Ali & JFK? Wow....

Elaine Snow Oh wow I never heard of her but yes, her life story should definitely be made into a film! We need a Harriet Tubman biopic as well. Octavia Spencer is working on getting a biopic about Madam C.J. Walker, the first woman black or white to earn $1 million, into development.

Im not black but grew up in the hood wit mother figuers just like her my whole entire life , shes my favorita actress of all time , everytime shes on screen i feel complety at home wit my familia she was a extremly powerful leader for all black folks in América & most folks don't even know about this Legend , she was so strong willed & tempermental like all folks should be today , she was beyond super talanted asf even tho she was forced to play the same roles , she still went behind everyones backs to put in a lil bit of McDaniel sprinkle in every role & make it amazing !!!! She went toe to toe on screen wit GOATS like James Cagney & Clark Gable & Olivia DeHavallind & then went toe to toe in the actual streets wit all haters even against the NAACP for making her seem like a simp & telling her she needed to stay as one but she was too damn smart & fearless & she played everyone black & white that ever tried to ever get in her way!!!! Shes a American treasure & not just to black folks but to me aswell !!!! Without her defiance back then , we probly wouldnt even have the amazing films from black actors & legendario films that we have today or even a MLK!!! She was basically a civil rights leader by default considering her own race hated what she did more than all the other races !!!! & this is by far the best spoken & worded Oscar speach in history!!!! Girl was God Tier level on & off camera!!!!! I love me some Hattie RIP Mammy Dee 😘🕊️ She the GOAT fr💯

This was such an honor but the fact that Hattie McDaniel could not sit at the table with her co-stars is heartbreaking and exposes the hypocrisy of the speech introducing her. Beautiful lady who clearly endured so much to pave the way for others...

You don't think there were many people in that room who were upset that they were in a place that was segregated, fully aware of what as going on, and that that might have been what Ms. Bainter was referring to in her introduction? It's Hollywood, it's "the Oscars", it's the Cocoanut Grove - just like today, it's all a sham, and everyone has to play by the "rules" if they want to play. There's too much money to be made to risk tipping the boat.
