“Gone with the Wind” was pulled from HBO Max while the long-running TV show “Cops” was outright canceled, a sign that entertainment companies are re-examining the content they offer in the wake of nationwide protests for racial justice and against police brutality.
Considered a classic of American cinema and winner of eight competitive Academy Awards, including best picture, the 1939 film starring Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh and Hattie McDaniel tells the story of southern belle Scarlett O’Hara and her love affair with Rhett...
My feeling is that if streaming movie entities start editing content, they might find a loss of revenue from die hard purists. After all, who wants a corporate edit of fine literature?
'Gone With The Wind' has NEVER been a historical depiction of that era. If anything, it's helped to glorify it.
Copied GWTW years ago! Cops was canceled because black kids were being plunked at school, because their family members were being featured every week!
Good movie! 👍😁
Why I don’t watch HBO
That is ridiculous!!
If these things help move the US forward toward those ideals in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, it’s a very small price...as are monuments, names of Forts, and Confederate flags...and other trivials...
Thanks for taking Cops off. It was horrible.
This is ridiculous!
HOW REDICOLUS.
Return the 'Gone with the Wind' movie! This issue is wrong for it to be removed. This is some one's perspective of events that happened or may have happened. It's also history. ♀️
The Democrat-Maoists are hard at work erasing history.
Seems that should be up to the viewer.
😷🏡💉💉💉💊
Entertainment companies are not that entertaining. Whatever they do to justify they existence is not going to save them.
stop this silly ass nonsense
Guess they want to cancel Hattie McDaniel. First African American to receive a oscar!
Its obv s crazy time in our history, but it will pass...
Alright let's pull ALL the movies glorifying violence or depicting violence on women of any kind.
Interesting the fact that Hattie McDaniels work In this film garnered the first ever Oscar to a black woman has clearly escaped them. You start censuring art and the irony is you are stepping on liberals guess if it fits their agenda it doesn’t matter
Big brother is here
sanitising the movie industry as well as history by pandering to agitators makes you no better than those dictators in Russia and elsewhere who do the same thing
Ridiculous!
Olivier and Leigh with Danny Kaye the plaque pictured below is just next door to Parliament....
This is all fine with the Hollywood left because all the actors/actresses in the film are deceased. Just wait until the mob comes after their crap. It will be a whole a different story or they will bend the knee and apologize like good little sheep.
stupid...just plain stupid.... when's the music industry gonna pull all the black and white rap music that glorifies cop killing!!! that crap needs to be taken off the shelves.
this is absolutely the most weak, put your finger in the dike hole attempt to appease a group I've ever seen. There are plenty of TV shows and movies that are wrapped around subjects different groups dislike. CHANGE THE CHANNEL! Censorship. Shame.
Don't fellow the herd .Think for yourself
Nazis burned books too..
Heckler’s veto
The Soprano’s, Godfather movies, Good Fella’s, Scarface, Jersey Shore, and a host of anti-Italian entertainment is offensive and stereotypical and should be banned.
Suggestion: Lets just remove all tangible history (statues, monuments, film, books, etc), and replace w/ holographic images. Then when each succeeding generation comes along w/ a different set of societal mores they can turn off & replace that image w/ one more to their liking.
Are they going to burn the book too?
Appease criminal activities of Black rioters committing arson, resisting arrest, commit vandalism, loot (that’s stealing for those of you living in Lima Linda), block roads, highways & interstates (attempt to void my civil right to travel & interstate commerce), these are crimes!
Because these companies suck, are weak and are pandering their way to failure. I cant wait for their failure.
These films and shows never existed, anyone who thinks differently will be sent to a re-education camp!!!
It's coming back. It's not leaving forever
Of course Hollywood and Wall Street should be the arbiters of taste and the moral compass for America. Long Live Big Brother!
You mean they are censoring? That’s the right word
Guess they should pull majority of shows and let the easily offended create shows or schedules to keep them all happy. A film made 80 years about civil war and love has now been pulled 👎
Read: Return of Censorship. Good thing I own my own copy of Gone With the Wind. First Academy Award to a black woman? Hattie McDaniel for her role as Mammie in Gone With the Wind. Shame on all who would deprive new viewers from seeing Ms. McDaniel's terrific performance.
Crazy～
Flibturds exercising censorship again ... Violating first amendment rights again
Hollyweenies
It would be great to do the same for the metoo movement, including intersectionality
HBO Who asked for this ? Did people ask for this ? If you want to help just give more opportunities to small production companies / minority prod co’s like Netflix does
Because the arts aren’t supposed to push the envelope, say all millennials
'COPS' long run had a heavy hand in setting the scene for where we are now. I'm not pulling a Karen Kquayle here but one needs to note the show's influence on police wannabes.
What about ROOTS?
If you've been Scammed by Nigerians, Watch this.
Re-examining or whitewashing? Leave the content alone and give money to BLM. Theres all sorts of warnings on everything thanks to the church lady FCC. WSJ is a little late on this. They were right to be afraid at Davos. I'd start being smarter if I wash rich.
Hopefully they'll get rid of this travesty.
I canceled my $15 HBO subscription! I suggest you do the same or expect more and more of this cultural marxism to destroy America! Fuk them!
Does that include rap music that promotes violence or misogyny? I support NO censorship just pointing out the hypocrisy
I love 'Gone With The Wind'!! This doesn't make sense. What is this 21st century censorship!?! They can show porn but not Brett in GWTW? History is history, you can't tear it down! You can only learn from it! Some thing seriously wrong with you people.
What you mean is that entertainment companies are looking to control the opinions of viewers instead of allowing freedom of opinion. Sounds like a pretty boring world if one opinion is produced en masse by the billion dollar entertainment companies. One ring to rule them all.
Does anybody have the link to the page that lists all companies that have gone woke? It could be used to decide where to (not) do your business with in the future. Just sayin' .🤷♂️
They already have shown its not about racism, its about race status. They don’t even care about the definition of racism anymore. Its about PC.
Margaret Mitchell said of Gone With the Wind — 'The one thing I’ve always wanted to avoid is the stirring up of old hates and prejudices, because I wrote my book with no hate and no prejudice.”
LOL. I just cancelled HBO Max.
HBO did this on their own. Stop blaming an “outcry”. No one said a word. Lies, HBO. Pure lies.
Orwell was a prophet.
Pull all Harvey Weinstein movies
Guess they should pull (censor) any media that shows racism, police brutality, sexual harassment and overall violence. Don't stop with movies. Let's include music and art, too. (sarcasm)
Big Brother will tell you how to think. What is correct. One Think is True Think. No more Thought Crimes.
We must submit to black oversight on all issues. They built this country, after all.
1984.
So no more classics in a land of freedom of expression and free speech. I never once viewed Gone With The Wind with a racial view.
Useless stunts and lost revenue. Copies of the film have gone up on torrent sites since that ban and millions are downloading it for free. Not to mention the stupidity of banning the film that handed first Oscar to an African American. Now her work is gone 🙄
Quite frankly my dear I don't give a damn to Entertainment companies.
And I will buy a DVD.
Idiocy
When does rap music get banned? Video games?
gone with the wind shows the south lost
Gone with the wind is about the civil war and a love story. Who ever said it romances racism is ridiculous.
War and Peace is a piece of sentimental pseudo-philosophical garbage celebrating slavery
One day I'll finally watch the whole thing to figure out if I should be outraged or not.
Embarrassing
Get a grip
Better get rid of shrek! A black guy played the role of a donkey! That's got to be hurting someone's feelings. I think this whole thing is gone too far. If you don't like a movie, don't watch it.
The endless result of the pussification of American men.
Well Fuck HBO
Again - nobody knows how to change channels or where the ‘off’ switch is. Therefore, your programming will be dictated by those who know what’s best for you. Yay! 😐
Let’s remove a movie where the first black actress won an Oscar.
This action is just one of many reasons why I never, ever tune to HBO anymore
Strange marketing move ftom HBO..
So it is not really MAX!?!?
That’s a new extreme.
Not sure how sensible this action is. The movie depicted a time in history that racial inequality did exist and that can’t be erased or changed. In fact it’s a valuable record for today’s generation to know about. Accept the past and move forward with improvements.
Why
silly.
It is history!!! What will replace, “to sir, wth love”. “Lillies of the field”, “guess who’s coming to dinner”, “in the heat of the night” Will rocky 1, 2, and 3 ever be seen again?
Radical left and corrupted media are making communism and culture revolution spread
Hattie McDaniel began her career in radio and went on to star in 300 movies, winning an award for GWTW, and became a millionaire - If that isn’t a success story, I don’t know what is —-
You can’t cancel history.
Weak. They should be standing up to these bullies.
New culture revolution like China
Silly people who earn mega bucks to make stupid decisions! Are we going to target other movies involving native Americans; war movies, etc? Well, Hollywood start producing dishonest interpretations or shades of history. HBOPR
This is the world we are creating. Very sad!
Insane!
Not good
Most fing ridiculous thing I’ve seen. F off HBO Max. This is part of history. We can not rewrite our history give me a fing break.
So the end of the Confederacy is now a bad thing. WTF!!
What do the Taliban, ISIS and the Democrat Party all have in common? They tear down statues and erase history they find offensive. All while rioting.
stupidity is in the air!!!!
Cheer! American Cultural Revolution has arrived! Enjoy the craziness! Enjoy being scilenced by the radicals! Enjoy being watchful what comes out of your mouth! Our freedom has “Gone with the Wind”!
Yup. Like a week ago. You can’t find anything else to get the hysteria going again? Come on! Yep. First Black Woman to win an Oscar! But HBO was to quick to try and show everyone how “aware” they are. Great example of knee jerk reaction based on media
ISIS and the Taliban also tore down statues, destroyed historical artifacts and banned books and movies. Democrats are heading down a dangerous path.
So should all the films be cancelled and pulled that portray women as sexual objects, glorify rapes, degrading the feminine. Shouldn't also be all the films banned that depict the Russians as bad and evil nation What about the films about the native Americans? Pull them too
HBO has Bill Maher who has called Sarah Palin the 'C' word but, that is ok according to HBO. Gone with the Wind is part of our history. HBO programing used to be the best now it is in the septic tank. They are doing censorship.
Greatest movie
It’s amazing how scared these multinational corporations are. One round of protests and they ban movies and books. All the while backing a movement accusing all cops of being bad and asking for defunding the police. This all rings of 1930s Germany. Banning=fascism
To what end?
So when are we starting to ban books?
HBO is lame
Idiots
McDaniel was the first black American to win an Oscar for her supping role as Mammy.
Is this a witch hunt now
Think of all the movies that say “ Nigga “ in them. Soon they will take all those off too? That’s about 40% of all movies.
First movie an African American actress one Oscar Hattie McDaniels this is a bad move
Frankly, my dears, I don't give a damn.
Removed temporarily
The film that won the first African American woman a supporting actress Oscar. That showed the stupidity of fighting to keep slavery and the suffering that followed. That movie.
Boycott HBO
Just bought a copy of the movie off Ebay; I do not want to wipe out history. If we don't LEARN from history, are doomed to repeat it?...................
GetWokeGoBroke
I thought Gone With the Wind was a Love story that began before and ended long after the Civil War? I loved the love story and was Woke by the carnage and deaths of war.
Does anyone else think Liberals have completely lost thier F***ing mind yet? 🙋🏻♂️
First black Oscar winner in this movie. The left are ignorant
Any more to fellow ?:'The Littlest Rebel' (1935) is one of many films that features slaves who are unhappy to be set free.'Song Of The South' (1946) tried to promote racial unity but ended up making really stereotypical African American characters...
Onko köyhyys poistunut? Onko väkivalta poistunut? Onko liikennekuolemat poistuneet? Onko sairaudet poistuneet? Onko vanhukset tasavertaisiamme? Onko koulutapot poistuneet? Onko raiskaukset poistuneet? Onko pedofiilit poistuneet? Onko, onko, onko, ... Tuulen viemää - poistettu!!!
Ridiculous! Maybe we should remove most of our founding father’s fingerprint on history because they were slave owners. Where does this nonsense end! Grow up crybabies!
Probably HBO got punked and failed for it.
This is ridiculous !
Just plain BS.
Rhett Rhett, Fiddle Dee Dee !
Mental midgets are everywhere these days.
very good decision!
Well, this will help everything.
In that film she was the first African-American actress to take an Oscar, Hattie Mcdaniel. What irony!.
That’s insane!!! I agree that the killing of George Floyd was horrendous but to want to erase the history of what happened in the USA in its past is a big mistake. People should be aware of their country’s past in order not to ever repeat it. Big mistake.
HBO snowflake sellouts
Ridiculous
the PC stuff is out of control.
Oh please!!!!!
Get rid of hbo
Tom and Jerry next
That´s stupid. You should be removing racists from government and police forces rather than films.
That’s a bit ridiculous
you can change injustice but right or wrong you can not change what has happened in history. they should not have removed Gone With the Wind.
More BS.great movie 🎥
Wouldn’t a movie that portrays racial injustice have racial injustice included in the movie? Just a thought
Racial injustice is a historical fact. So was the Holocaust, to name another. Removing artifacts from History doesn’t mean like behavior will cease. “Animal Farm”, “Planet of the Apes”, CHAZ. You’ve just replaced one group with another.
Yes, remove a classic time period movie. It was what it was. Not acceptable now, of course, but a glimpse into what it was and an example of how we have changed.
I removed HBO so it even.
I'll make sure I never watch that service.
Shame HBO its a complete stupidity
First motion picture that had an academy award for a black actress. Historical! Check your history HBOMax 🧐
What a stupidity!!!!! For the sake of god!!! We are going to far with this theme
Unbelievable!
AT&T-Warner-HBO are just plain awful. On every level imaginable.
I want to buy a DVD. Don’t like HBO decides what kind of movie I should watch.
The author, Margaret Mitchell, was a woman ahead of her time. Be careful whom you cancel..they may be an invaluable advocate.
Censorship much? Frankly my dear I don’t give a damn! I have my 75th anniversary edition lol... Shame on them.
A lot of movies played by white people. has lots of white people working. Most of the liberal terrorist are white people who runs BLM. Can we erase them as well?
Down with HBO
RT jojorabbitmovie StephenKing AmandaHearst joshgad Frankly Scarlett I don’t give a damn
Unbelievable
Progressives and 'politically correct' suck!.Only the best films must to be offered and preserved regardless of race or sex. If all the best films were made by Chinese or black, then all films chinese or black must to be offered and preserved. Meritocracy yes, mediocrity NO!!!.
It's going too far. In this movie nothing is against blacks..
Make George Reeves turn into Superman and defeat the North.
Delighted! Enlightened! If you need a teaching tool, try the original racist diatribe, Birth of a Nation, not that whitewashed 1939 with the opening apologia even author Margaret Mitchell couldn’t stand! Watch lynchings and assassinations as heroic acts! Now, that’s history!
This is beyond ridiculous. “Gone with the Wind “. Best movie I ever saw. Showing slavery does not mean you agree with it. It is showing a bygone era. If you erase and ignore history you are bound to repeat it
It really is an example of overkill. ‘Gone with the Wind’ is a classic movie and should be used as a teaching tool. It was a breakout movie for minorities as the black actress who played Mammy won an Academy Award for her performance
What do U plan 2 do erase history? Brown skinned Italians were enslaved whether U want 2 believe it or not. Good Italians worked hard to become accepted. The good Italians worked hard to erase the stigma a being called Dago's and N-Wops. Nobody gave us anything but a hard time.
Joe Biden was also removed by the protesters👉
essential sunday pm viewing.......wlm
Argh
idioci i tyle !!!!
Frankly my dear I don’t give a damn
You know who also shows this is-TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES-
TIBISAY LUCENA FELICITAMOS A LA COMPATRIOTA VENEZOLANA QUE MANTUVO CON SUS APORTES LA VIGENTE DEMOCRACIA EN VENEZUELA,RETWITEAR TIBISAY LUCENA WE CONGRATULATE THE VENEZUELAN COMPATRIOT WHO KEPT THE CURRENT DEMOCRACY IN VENEZUELA WITH ITS CONTRIBUTIONS, RETWITEAR
Why is this news this is pure marketing
Stupidist thing ive ever heard.
Where have I seen this before? Oh that’s right.....
They gonna pull White Chicks too
Why because you cannot handle a movie that actually reflects what the south was like? History does not lie you just rewrite it to fit your narrative. Go ahead forget the past so we can repeat it all over again
It backfired. What will Minitrue's next step be? Burning books?
HBO has always been the first to bend over for the “cause of the month”. No surprise here!
The direct attack on Whites via (((media))) is racial injustice.
Uneducated Americans intend to erase the past.
“Racist monuments of yesterday are important so people are educated on history.” HBO pauses to add educational material to old racist images. “HOW DARE THEY!”
Ridiculous!
Seriously? Did they remove Colors? BoyzNHood? The Wire? Of course not.
Straight to the dark web!
Pussification of America continues
🤡🌎
Roots Kunta kinta, North & South to follow?
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡Ridiculous
Cancelled my HBO
Pathetic.
Gone with the wind is the greatest movie of all time
😂😂😂 even this got censored? how about erasing the history at all? GoneWithTheWind
Content not politically correct,and the media is leading the march to socialism
HBO-who need it? Moronic.
Have they removed all the films that portray blacks as criminals, drug dealers, pimps, prostitutes, gang members, etc.......? Book burnings are next!
Burn the books eliminate history. You know what happens then
They state they'll bring it back with a disclaimer. Little literature, art, theatre, cinema, TV, music, and advertising is free of potentially offensive material. Art comes from within; it reflects who we are, and influences who we are. So where do we begin? Disclaim it all
Good night Nurse. That is why the war between the states was fought. It is our history.
Oh thank G_d!! I can’t count the number of cops that turned racist because of that movie.
Totally ridiculous have some balls you snowflakes. Stop trying to stick your head in the sand and face life straight on
OlgaObolenskaja 1984 is right around the corner. The world is headed towards a radical leftist fascist regime of total censorship and racial, sexual and gender quotas. Not a day without self guilt, blaming each other, getting offended over everything imaginable. Terrible and forced ideology.
Why not using some cutting edge tech to paint all characters in the movie to the same skin color?
Let’s burn some books !
This is just stupid
First, statues, now tv/movie, next paintings? Then music? Then poems? And so on? God bye art. We are moving backwards, well USA is. Hope other countries and continents won't follow.
No they have become China.
Democrats want zero cops zero borders, zero USA
Everyone stop enjoying anything as someone may get offended!!
Modern inquisition
Still is my favorite movie 🎥
Violent rap lyrics are ok then? How about violent movies and tv serials? Violent video games? Those are more harmful than 80 year old epics and real life police videos.
Goodbye history, goodbye free speech
Burying history ensure it will repeat. The hyper-reaction caused by social media and the media mob needs to stop thus our world will self destruct.
I thought the interracial type porn need to be banned also cause it is worse than this movie, porn companies need to remove all those type video,lolololol
COPS is a terrible show person and only terrible people watch it.
Oh, for God’s sake. We have plenty of ugly periods in history, i.e., the Holocaust, the Inquisition, etc., and as a result, countless works of fiction in those settings. Get a grip.
If Hollywood was at the beginning like the Hollywood Netflix show things would be totally different.
GoneWithHBO DefundHBO
This is absurd. Use the movie as a teachable moment. Have a panel including black cultural leaders after or before the movie to go through some of the problematic parts. Banning doesn’t help the problem. It HIDES IT.
Then should they pull Roots and the Color Purple?
How ridiculous the Political Correctness is! America is becoming Oceania under the radical lefts, they are destroying History like Mao, Stalin and Hitler once did!
I think we should prohibit 'Beverly Hills Cop.' And 'Blazing Saddles' should be burned!
Still have PD Live
Well... I did not even know Cops was still on!
Una película refleja una historia con sus personajes y comportamientos propios de una época. Como espectador se debe entender eso y elegir: Lo veo o no lo veo. Hay películas con personajes mexicanos 'estereotipados', si se pidiera su cancelación, no quedaría entretenimiento.
This is censorship. “Gone With the Wind” is a classic. HBO Max is going to the extreme. The whole purpose of the movement is to get people to take a second look at racism & discrimination based solely on the color of one's skin. Open discussions on race is needed, not censorship!
Typical communism style
Time to burn the books... didnt the Nazis do the same?
Warmly celebrate the victory opening of the American Cultural Revolution!
Right but keep the violent videos and misogynistic rap music - so brilliant
Remove the movie that gave us the first African American Oscar winner? Gotcha
CENSOR HISTORY.
Pathetic
Sanitize the country, remove the movie, Columbus statues, Kate Smith and I'm sure we can find something Lewis & Clark did, Betsy Ross etc Lets start history books from 2020 and on, F-in joke liberal lunatics
Can’t help stupid
“Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn !”
Ridiculous and sad.
Why not just ban all internet; all tv; all radio; all talking; all singing; all forms of communications....I mean, come on people, what the hell is going on! No sense at all....
We should really disband the NFL....every game depicts blacks fighting with whites!
Stop this world. I wanna get out.
Who the heck watches cops anymore? livepd all day!
They are protecting their bottom line and market share. Shareholders are very pleased.
It was No 1 selling movie on Amazon. Deal with it lieberal thugs.
Glad I have a lot of DVDs because if all were going to be allowed to watch is BET, our TVs will become obsolete!
Долбоебизм
Let's also pull War & Peace because it was critical of Napoleon, who did more to spread liberalism across Europe than anyone else.
HBO also cancelled Elmer Fudd because he’s a gun owner as well
Please tell me they will not pull To Kill a Mockingbird.
Next, remove Mr. Biden’s name from the PennBiden center due to his past segregationism.
What trailer park redneck actually watches Gone with the Wind? The only people who watch are film buffs. Seriously.
This is just the next step in the cultural genocide the left is waging. These are both staples of American and Canadian culture.
cops is a great show, bad boys bad boys, wtf u gonna do
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you!
Is the Academy going to pull Hattie McDaniel’s Oscar?
It’s time to burn books and suppress the opposition...
I assume GameOfThrones is being dropped too, since it depicts slavery? Right hbo & hbomax?
This is ridiculous. So what? You can't fight against racism by removing classic movies. what's your next move Huh? Burning all the books and libraries? Are you out of your mind?
Today it's 'Gone With the Wind'. Tomorrow it's 'Huckleberry Finn'. If the Left were to have it's way, it will soon be 'The Constitution of the United States of America'. People need to stand up against this onslaught against our history and culture before things get even worse.
I hope there are enough prayed copies to keep these movies in the public square. Every movie has value. Even 'Plan 9 From Outer Space'.
Now the world is just and everybody is happy!! This is nonsense and it is a dangerous path that can end up in dramatic censorship. I fully support that monuments of violent, racist people are torn down (100%), but movies are not monuments. This requires a different debate.
GetWokeGoBroke
Oh really? As a little kid in the deep south born in the 1950s, I saw this movie and wondered why the black people didn't have nice houses, were wearing shitty clothes and not getting invited to the parties.
Why does everything have to change ? All this over a COUPLE of bad cops.
Hahahahahaha
This has gone too far.
I’ll just keep cancelling subscriptions. First was HBO this morning... next? I don’t care - I’ll just save $$$. Virtue signaling should mean less profits.
Cultural Revolution in USA
Good grief!
Communism. I should be able to decide what I want to watch.
Orwellian
Welcome the communist state, changing the history as usually. Poor country,
