Have you?


Didn't some people try to 'cancel' it or something a few years ago?

They tried to cancel it when it was made.

You maybe getting it confused with Sound of Music that people complained about on twitter years ago.

Yes

No idea about the cancel stuff. I could maybe see why people who don't respect art or understand time periods would want to try it.

History happened. There's no changing or canceling it.

I've seen it a few times. Great movie as a movie, but you only have to look at the title and ask yourself what exactly was gone with the wind to realize why it's problematic.

This might be what you're thinking of.

On June 9, 2020, the film was removed from HBO Max amid the George Floyd protests as well as in response to an op-ed written by screenwriter John Ridley that was published in that day's edition of the Los Angeles Times, which called for the streaming service to temporarily remove the film from its content library. He wrote that "it continues to give cover to those who falsely claim that clinging to the iconography of the plantation era is a matter of 'heritage, not hate'."[111][112][113] A spokesperson for HBO Max said that the film was "a product of its time" and as a result, it depicted "ethnic and racial prejudices" that "were wrong then and are wrong today". It was also announced that the film would return to the streaming service at a later date, although it would incorporate "a discussion of its historical context and a denouncement of those very depictions, but will be presented as it was originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed. If we are to create a more just, equitable and inclusive future, we must first acknowledge and understand our history."[114] The film's removal sparked a debate about political correctness going too far, with film critics and historians criticising HBO over potential censorship.[115] Following the film's removal, it reached the top of Amazon's best-sellers sales chart for TV and films, and fifth place on Apple's iTunes Store film chart.[116]

It's surprisingly well-paced and comes with an intermission.

You HEARD it was cancel cultured because the right screamed and cried it was. What really happened is it was given a context warning.

This type of "it's cancel culture" when it really isn't happens with a LOT of stuff they complain about.

It's an excellent film, but I wouldn't fault anyone for splitting it up into two viewings.

I can't tell you enough how much I love that scene.
