No, those should absolutely come with a prompt the promotes discussion on the topic of satire, or the history slums in India. I feel like that’s a fair compromise for all sides. Hostel/Borat are highly insensitive, so I don’t think too many people would be sad to see them go honestly. Slumdog Millionaire is one of the my all-time favorite movies, but I do understand that’s it’s a dramatic story more than an accurate picture of Indian culture. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Answer to GOTW/Slumdog or other movies is not bans/prompts or history lessons, if you think these are not realistic picture, make a better picture which is more realistic.

Everyone loves to complain about people’s attention spans, but I’m certain people would read that stuff. Of course, I really don’t care if HBO takes down a movie, puts a prompt before it, or chooses to do nothing. They are a business, they are allowed to make their own choices. Just as I am allowed to either support/not support them financially based off those choices. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
