The film has featured in several high-profile industry polls. In 1977 it was voted the most popular film by the American Film Institute (AFI), in a poll of the organization's membership; [7] the AFI also ranked the film fourth on its " 100 Greatest Movies" list in 1998, [97] with it slipping down to sixth place in the tenth anniversary edition in 2007. [98] Film directors ranked it 322nd in the 2012 edition of the decennial Sight & Sound poll, [95] and in 2016 it was selected as the ninth best "directorial achievement" in a Directors Guild of America members poll. [99] In 2014, it placed fifteenth in an extensive poll undertaken by The Hollywood Reporter, which balloted every studio, agency, publicity firm and production house in the Hollywood region. [100] Further, American cinema helped to spread the fictional “lost cause” narrative that has attempted to rewrite history while transforming the terrorism of slavery into something much less real, though much more palatable to certain white audiences. The idea of a “lost cause” originally emerged in the period after Reconstruction. An overt attempt to erase the savage brutality of slavery during the age of Jim Crow white supremacy, a revisionist history began to emerge which suggested that though the south had lost the civil war, the fight itself had been a noble cause that was predicated on an attempt to preserve a cherished way of life. That “way of life” might also be known as slavery. a b c d e Hoellering, Franz (1939). "Gone With the Wind". The Nation (published December 16, 2008). Archived from the original on May 21, 2014 .
