“Gone With the Wind” has returned to HBO Max after it was pulled from the streaming service earlier this month.
AT&T’s WarnerMedia pulls ‘Gone With the Wind’ from HBO Max but plans to return it with disclaimers about the 1939 film’s ‘painful stereotypes.’in a Los Angeles Times opinion piece that WarnerMedia should consider removing “Gone With the Wind” from its streaming service.
“It is a film that glorifies the antebellum south,” Ridley wrote. “It is a film that, when it is not ignoring the horrors of slavery, pauses only to perpetuate some of the most painful stereotypes of people of color.” After Ridley’s comments, WarnerMedia, which oversees HBO Max, removed the movie from its service and said that it planned to return “Gone With the Wind” after adding further information.
“Still, it is important that classic Hollywood films are available to us in their original form for viewing and discussion,” Stewart said. “They reflect the social context in which they were made and invite viewers to reflect on their own values and beliefs when watching them now.”
