    So reminding me of the ending of episode 22 of anime “Clannad: After Story.” Dean is Kouko Ibuki-Yoshino trying to follow along what her sister Fuko saying (something about a cute smell).

    When David O. Selznick was filming GWTW, he shot Rhett’s final line two ways, one with the ‘damn’ and the other without, in which Rhett said “Frankly, my dear, I just don’t care.” In the end, Selznick opted to use the line with ‘damn’ in it, but he had to pay a fine to the censors in order to be allowed to use the word ‘damn’, due to the current film decency laws.

    Dean should escape while he can.

    There are some films—quite a few, really—which make bringing back the Hayes censorship laws a really good thing!

    Also, Scarlett clearly had an undiagnosed psychosis, delusions of grandeur. Whatever happened to anyone anywhere it was all about her! I figure in the years after the Civil War (unless she married some rich Yankee) Tara and her crumbled over the years.

    You’re right, ghostkeeper. Sometimes I watch the TCM channel just for a little relief!

    Films and people grew up. Plus foreign films coming in made the code useless.

    And Dean doesn’t.

    This is one of the few justifiable uses. A southern gentleman (and Butler was, despite his occupation) would never use such language in front of a lady. However, Scarlett had him so disgusted at her manipulative ways that he declared her no lady.

    “Films and people grew up.”
    .
    We’ve got different definitions of “grew up.” Today’s standards seem a lot more juvenile to me.
