Gone with the Wind

Plot hole: At the end of the movie, when Rhett famously leaves Scarlett, she thinks about how she can win him back, and with a smile on her face, says, "After all, tomorrow is another day." Her daughter tragically died a few days before. Scarlett isn't the least bit heartbroken about losing her.

Suggested correction: This is not even a mistake, much less a plot hole. A character not acting the way an audience member expects them to is not a mistake.

It should also be noted that in the 1860s there was nothing unusual about a child dying. In those days, roughly 30% of children in white, well-off families like the O'Haras would die before the age of 5.

Mistakes

Character mistake: When Melanie and Scarlett are talking with an (off-screen) wounded Confederate soldier, the soldier says he hasn't heard from his brother since Bull Run. Only Northerners refer to that battle as Bull Run; Southerners have always referred to it as Manassas.

Trivia

Trivia: The Burning of Atlanta scene was shot long before filming started on Gone with the Wind and before either of the actors were cast in the role of Rhett and Scarlet. The purpose was to clear the lot so the sets for the movie could be built. The buildings burnt were sets from other films, the most notable being the huge gates featured in the original King Kong movie. The two actors in this scene were stunt doubles who stood in for Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable.

Questions

Question: I read in the trivia section that something falls out of a tree while the letters "Gone with the Wind" go across the screen. I watched the movie and it's true, but does anyone have any information about it? (Was there any controversy? What was the object? Did they try to edit it out? etc.).

Chosen answer: It looks to me like a bird flying from the tree to the ground. Nothing controversial there and no reason to edit it out.
