“Gone With the Wind” is generating controversy once again. The once-acclaimed 1939 Civil War drama has been temporarily pulled by HBO Max from its slate of streaming options amid outcries over the film’s dated depictions of slavery and racism, according to multiple reports.

Just two weeks after launching, HBO Max has reportedly decided to reevaluate its streaming content, a move that comes amid nationwide protests over systemic racism in American society.

The film — which has long been revered by film critics and is the highest grossing movies of all time when adjusting box office totals for inflation — was recently decried in a high-profile op-ed in the Los Angeles Times, penned by “12 Years a Slave” screenwriter John Ridley.
