You don't really want to discuss anything with me. You just want to continue your weak smartarsery… it's quite boring.

I went to a fairly average inner-city comprehensive, I learned about the Empire and slavery and some of the unacceptable things this country did. Why then, do we have to have people legislating what we can and can't see?

People are having a fine old time pulling apart comedy and old films when actually, the thing that needs policing more is the Internet. And usually it's the same people who don't want us to see Gone With The Wind are the same people who don't want the Internet policed.

To me, it's all about company's competing with each other for who can do the most virtue signalling. Virtue signalling is rife

Correct

It's about blame, marketing and money

Oop that's a stereotype. .

It's not only the 'hard left' that know Hollywood depictions of sensitive subjects are glamorised.
As I've said on other threads I think the removal is a diversion, however it may be a catalyst for a generational shift change.

We are living through the early years of a new milenia... Change is good, the scales falling from eyes and seeing how different people have been and are treated is good.

As long as it is handled peacefully and sensitively I believe it's welcome and necessary.

I never understood it's popularity in the first place!, Movie is a long ass 4 hours long and it's most famous for the line "frankly my dear I don't give a damn" .

Which is funny as I don't give a damn about this movie and never have watched it . It looks boring as hell.

to bring up another series from past in which slavery is highlighted in, Roots

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roots_(1977_miniseries)

i had a discussion with my parents about this whole BLM topic, and movies/series content being removed, no longer shown on streaming services, and we immediately were thinking about this miniseries

so any thoughts upon this one now?


it had some ''controversial content'' like this

Youtube video

, maybe ok for that time but i don't know how people who support BLM movement feel about this now

[Nicky91]

comparing Roots and Gone with the wind

Roots has more realistic view on slavery, so it could be seen as educational, more historical

than a gone with the wind, who had shown the slaves in that to be happy to be slaves which is clearly a wrong view about slavery

Yes I’d agree ..

Incidentally some secondary/high schools do indeed show parts of the series Roots in History lessons

The film is widely available to buy and it always will be. It's not censorship or 'legislating what we can or cannot see' for a company to decide what to host on their platform. No one is banning Gone With The Wind.

Pointing that out is not an attack and it's not 'venomous'.

i watched the germans episode of faulty towers this morning

Well if you're trying to have a discussion about the movie, you kind of need to have watched it or you sound daft.

This isn't a strict book club review , and i can still give my views on not just the movie but the whole topic in general .

Oh dear god

It's better than taking them down, but still pretty pathetic. All those films are harmless tbh

[Ammi]

...with Breakfast at Tiffany’s and the racial stereotype of Mr Yunioshi, I wouldn’t say it was harmless tbh...even back in its day it caused controversy because of its offensiveness and it varied so much from the character as written by Truman Capote, so completely not in keeping with any portrayal either ...and yet it has remained For such a long time...so I guess that’s sadly how accepting society has been of these racist stereotypes and completely right and good that it’s finally being addressed....the ‘harmlessness’ as well could only really be determined by those who they offend../..if the stereotype negatively and if they offend, then they are not ‘harmless’...

[Ammi]

...just to say that Audrey Hepburn was wonderful in that movie though...(..even though she differed from the book character quite a bit as well.....)...

You like Audrey Hepburn? I'd never guess

I think that’s the right way to go in future
