Ban “Gone With The Wind”?
From movie theaters, not from museums or home-entertainment systems. That’s what a New York Post critic suggests. If we are to ban the movie because it glorifies slavery and the South, here’s another group of movies to put on the list: 1) “Anna Karenina” (because it romanticizes serfdom); 2) “Napoleon” (because it glorifies a freedom-crushing French dictator); 3) “Patton” and almost any World War II movie (because they make war appear heroic). We should be educating people about the social attitudes contained in these movies, not preventing people from seeing them.
