HBO Max Releases Statement On Removal Of ‘Gone With the Wind’ From Streaming Offering, Says Film Will Return With “Discussion Of Its Historical Context”

HBO Max Removes ‘Gone With the Wind’ From Streaming Offering

from HBO Max, saying “It doesn’t just ‘fall short’ with regard to representation. It is a film that glorifies the antebellum south. 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.”

Indeed, the 1939 film is not aging well in an era of protests and changing racial attitudes. The Southern-set Civil War epic depicts slaves as mostly happy with their lot and loyal to their owners to the end. It also plays down — if not eliminates altogether — the horrors of slavery as it romanticizes the suffering of Vivien Leigh’s Scarlett O’Hara before, during and after the Civil War.
