"Trigger Warnings Added to Classic James Bond Films Amid Cultural Sensitivity Concerns"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Fox News

The British Film Institute (BFI) has added trigger warnings to classic films, including James Bond movies scored by John Barry, to alert audiences of content that may cause offence due to outdated cultural depictions. The warnings, which appear on the BFI's website and at the point of sale, are part of the institute's responsibility to both preserve films' historical accuracy and consider the impact on modern audiences. This move aligns with findings from a survey suggesting a majority of teenagers support such warnings for content that could affect mental health.

The British Film Institute (BFI) has added trigger warnings to classic James Bond films, such as "Goldfinger" and "You Only Live Twice," in a retrospective of composer John Barry's work. These warnings alert viewers to outdated content that may be offensive by today's standards. The author, a self-described member of the "wokerati," criticizes this move as excessive, despite their love for the franchise and acknowledgment of its problematic elements.
