\n \u201cGone With the Wind\u201d is no longer gone from HBO Max, having been restored to the streaming service\u2019s library with<\/em> a new prologue about the film\u2019s problematic theme<\/a>s and depictionof the antebellum South.<\/p>\n

Jacqueline Stewart, host of TCM\u2019s \u201cSilent Sunday Nights\u201d and a professor in the Department of Cinema and Media<\/a> Studies at the University of Chicago, leads the 4 \u00bd-minute intro, which starts off with a general<\/a> cinematic lesson \u2014 recounting the eight Academy Awards (including for Best Picture) won in 1939 by the \u201chighly anticipated\u201d adaptation of Margaret Mitchell\u2019s novel, as well as its inflation-adjusted standing as the highest-grossing movie of all time.<\/p>\n

Then, Stewart acknowledges that the film \u201cwas not universally praised,\u201d seeing as it \u201cpaints the picture of the antebellum South as a \u2018romantic, idyllic setting that\u2019s tragically been lost to the past.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Stewart notes how producer David O. Selznick assured the NAACP at the time that he was \u201csensitive to the feelings of minority peoples,\u201d yet proceeded to deliver a film that depicts a \u201cworld of grace and beauty, without acknowledging the brutalities of the system of chattel slavery upon which this world is based.\u201d Stewart says that \u201cthe treatment of this world through the lens of nostalgia denies the horrors of slavery as well its legacies of racial inequality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stewart concedes that while watching \u201cGone With the Wind\u201d \u201ccan be uncomfortable, even painful,\u201d \u201cit is important that classic Hollywood films are available to us in their original form\u201d to \u201cinvite viewers to reflect on their own beliefs when watching them now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Gone With the Wind,\u2019 with its landmark production values, signature scenes and iconic characters has shaped the way generations have pictured slavery and the reconstruction period that followed,\u201d she says in conclusion. \u201cIt is not only a major document of Hollywood\u2019s racist practices of the past, but also an enduring work of popular culture that speaks directly to the racial inequalities that persist in media and society today.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
