"James Bond Films Receive 'Outdated Language' Trigger Warnings for Modern Viewers"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Independent
The British Film Institute (BFI) has issued trigger warnings for "outdated" language and stereotypes in a film season featuring James Bond films scored by composer John Barry. The warnings are part of the BFI's efforts to address historical content that reflects past societal views but may be offensive today. Films such as "Goldfinger" and "You Only Live Twice" come with disclaimers, and the BFI has stated its responsibility to both preserve films and present them with appropriate guidance. This follows a recent revision of Ian Fleming's 007 books to remove racist language and references.
