Zulu and Gone with the Wind banned?
Discussion
They carry warnings on the various streaming services stating “This film portrays outdated values and beliefs that may offend some viewers” or some such nonsense.
Even Disney are doing it for some of their classic animations.
Aladdin, Jungle Book....even Lady & the Tramp is a bit risqué now apparently, due to the Siamese cats supposedly perpetuating derogatory stereotypes of Asian culture.
You may have noticed too in Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk, the Germans are referred to simply as “the enemy”.

Both are on Amazon video to rent or buy. Zulu is on sky cinema at the moment.
I think just warning like. 'propaganda film', would suffice.
The reality, history is written by the victors, we don't have many if any British concentration films or scorched earth films from the same time period as Zulu, which kind of reflects the very biased written history outcome we take as gospel.

If I was more of a conspiracy theorist than I am, I would be perturbed by the push towards us streaming our music/films/TV, even books, and not really owning anything.
Much easier to decide what we are allowed to watch/hear/read when we don't own it.
Which is why I am starting to buy up DVDs of old films I like that may be considered un-PC.

I'm not surprised, as you are one of the regular 'talents' posting on NP&E!

They won't ban them. Too obvious. They will just edit them, like Stalin's photos.Much easier to decide what we are allowed to watch/hear/read when we don't own it.

20 years and two different wars between the zulu wars (English and Boers vs zulus) and the second Boer war (English fighting Boers) where concentration camps were used.The reality, history is written by the victors, we don't have many if any British concentration films or scorched earth films from the same time period as Zulu, which kind of reflects the very biased written history outcome we take as gospel.

One of the BBC’s most popular sitcoms from the 70s and 80s, It Ain’t ‘Alf Hot Mum, is only available on DVD. How D’you feel about that?
