Gone With the Wind is returning to HBO

Gone With the Wind will be returning to HBOMax after it was pulled from the streaming service earlier this week. However, when it becomes available it will include an introduction by Jacqueline Stewart, host of Silent Sunday Nights on Turner Classic Movies and professor in the Department of Cinema and Media Studies at the University of Chicago.

"Gone With the Wind is a product of its time and depicts some of the ethnic and racial prejudices that have, unfortunately, been commonplace in American society. These racist depictions were wrong then and are wrong today, and we felt that to keep this title up without an explanation and a denouncement of those depictions would be irresponsible," the statement read.

"These depictions are certainly counter to WarnerMedia’s values, so when we return the film to HBO Max, it will return with a discussion of its historical context and a denouncement of those very depictions, but will be presented as it was originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed," the statement continued. "If we are to create a more just, equitable and inclusive future, we must first acknowledge and understand our history."

Following its removal from the platform, Megyn Kelly, Whoopi Goldberg and Meghan McCain, among others weighed in on the decision. Kelly took to Twitter on Tuesday to decry the streaming service's announcement as censorship of a "cultural touchstone."
Goldberg suggested to her The View co-hosts, including McCain, that the streaming service add a disclaimer before the film, alerting viewers to the context of the production.

I know, right? I thought for sure this was going to get dragged on, and on, and perhaps used as an example as even more movies were erased from history.

Glad to hear it. Hopefully this cuntfuckery passes over and dies now

Re: Gone With the Wind is returning to HBO

Everyone is piling on Gone With the Wind, which seems to have overtaken Birth of a Nation as the #1 candidate for censorship by people who probably have never seen either of them.

When you consider the entire history of racism in the first seventy or so years of Hollywood, neither of those movies come close to being the most flagrant.

The Bigger They Are, The Harder They Fall appears to be the mantra of the self satisfied fascist left every time they succeed in destroying cultural icons, free expression and flawed artistic masterpieces that don't meet their impossible standards.

What's next? Sending the PC police to everyone's home to confiscate and burn copies of movies and books they don't condone?

And This, Too, Shall Pass Away

It sometimes feels like we're headed that way.

Re: Gone With the Wind is returning to HBO

We're going through the modern day equivalent of book burning.

The strange thing is, the authors themselves seem to be initiating much of it.

Re: Gone With the Wind is returning to HBO

And the morons in the PC Police win another victory.

Re: Gone With the Wind is returning to HBO

Well sort of. They're spoon-feeding people and making people dumb or thinking people are dumb. Or….catering to dumb people who don't realize this movie was made depicting a different era and need to have this giant explanation at the beginning to help them understand, oh, you know, that stuff we learned in history class in grade school?

They'll probably stop teaching that in history class too.

Sadly they're making dumb people even dumber.

And it was also made during a time when black women had to play mammies or maids if they wanted to have an acting career.

Still a silly move by HBO to take it off.

Amazon is still not selling the DVD/Blu-ray, but you can rent it on Amazon Prime for $3.99. Anyone know if that version has any kind of disclaimer up front?
