Oscar-vinderen “Gone with the Wind” er nu fortid på HBO Max på grund af racisme.
I kølvandet på mordet på George Floyd har ‘Black Lives Matter’-bevægelsen overtaget dagsordenen i USA.
Senest med et indlæg i Los Angeles Times fra manuskriptforfatter John Ridley, der vandt en Oscar i 2014 for “12 Years a Slave“.
Her anklager John Ridley filmklassikeren “Borte med blæsten” for at være racistisk, og derfor bør HBO Max fjerne titlen fra tjenesten.
Det har HBO Max nu gjort. Brugerne kan ikke længere se “Borte med blæsten”, der havde Clark Gable og Vivien Leigh i hovedrollerne:
”‘Gone With The Wind’ er et produkt af dens tid, og den gengiver nogle af de etniske og racemæssige fordomme, der uheldigvis har været almindelige i det amerikanske samfund. Disse racistiske skildringer var forkerte dengang, og de er forkerte i dag,” udtaler en talsperson fra HBO Max ifølge The Hollywood Reporter.
HBO Max understreger dog, at titlen vil vender tilbage, men at det vil ske ledsaget af en tidssvarende kontekst:
”Den vil vende tilbage sammen med en diskussion af den historiske kontekst samt en afstandtagen fra disse skildringer, men den vil blive præsenteret, som den originalt blev skabt, fordi ellers ville det være som at hævde, at disse fordomme aldrig eksisterede.”

“Borte med blæsten” vandt otte Oscar-priser i 1940.

"Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers, but by their neighbours - even by children. I condemns all that Nazis did and stood for, but because history is edited, most people today don't realize, that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbours hate them simply because they were Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views - left or right?"
