Netflix subscribers can’t watch the 1939 film classic “Gone With the Wind” on the streamer.
Yet.
The company has a digital placeholder for the film, suggesting it may one day grace its streaming catalog. But there’s a catch – a catch so woke it’s like taking a time machine back to 2020.
Netflix’s “Gone With the Wind” page features a terse description of the beloved film, a title attacked in recent years for its archaic perspective on slavery.
No, it’s not remotely close to “Birth of a Nation,” a film with profoundly racist content. Still, “Gone With the Wind” doesn’t excoriate the “peculiar institution” like a film made today would.
That explains, partly, the Netflix descriptor on the title.
This is real.
