I still get a slight Brave New World aftertaste from companies banning movies and books. I’m not really sure if it matters if it ‘the government’ or ‘the corporations’ doing things. Especially in an ultracapitalist society, where ‘the corporations’ are the center of power anyway.
Luckily that’s not really what happens. They are planning on putting it back up with more historical context added. I hope they’re quick about it. Yes, Gone With the Wind is problematic. It’s also a movie history.
But I agree fully it’s important to add historical context.
Just hiding the shameful things from the past in the bottom drawer is imho not a smart thing.
