Should you watch it? Only you can know that. I also agree that Gone With the Wind is everything John Ridley says it is, as well as a film that was, not incorrectly, seen as the pinnacle of a certain type of Hollywood achievement just ten years into the sound era, and an important milestone in the careers of everyone who participated in its making.

I groan (as many on Twitter have groaned) that during two weeks of world-shaking Black Lives Matter protests, the movie more Netflix viewers turned to than any other is The Help, but removing it from the service, as some have suggested, would be more appalling. I believe Disney’s decision to render the racist 1946 movie Song of the South inaccessible in any medium was the self-preserving action of a company attempting to paper over its own past, not a demonstration of cultural sensitivity.

What about ? Yes, even that! I think it was a mistake to wipe The Cosby Show from some platforms after its star’s exposure as a serial rapist (it’s interesting how the loud, knee-jerk removal is followed, eventually, by a much quieter return), because it is not possible to understand the history of Black representation on American TV if you have a giant void where the most popular show of its decade used to be.

POW! People get angry about censorship and attempts to cleanse our troubled cultural history.

BOOM! Screenwriter John Ridley writes a Los Angeles Times op-ed urging HBO Max, the new streaming service you still can’t figure out how to get on your TV, to take the movie down, arguing that it “romanticizes the Confederacy” and perpetuates “some of the most painful stereotypes of people of color.” BANG! HBO Max removes the film from its platform. As HBO Max temporarily removes Gone With the Wind, we should all cast a skeptical glance at gestures that cost nobody a dime and change nothing.Įven in our current era of the corporate-cultural double backflip, the latest chapter in the tortured saga of America’s relationship with Gone With the Wind was impressively swift.
