(Ryan Saavedra) The recent decision to pull the American classic “Gone with the Wind” from HBO Max has had the Streisand effect, a phenomenon where attempting to suppress something ends up calling more attention to it and thus having the opposite effect of the intended desire.

“HBO Max parent AT&T Inc.’s move came amid growing concerns about racial injustice following the killing of George Floyd, a black man, while being arrested by a white Minneapolis police officer,” The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday. “Considered a classic of American cinema and winner of eight competitive Academy Awards, including best picture, the 1939 film starring Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh and Hattie McDaniel tells the story of southern belle Scarlett O’Hara and her love affair with Rhett Butler. Much of the four-hour film is set on the O’Hara plantation, Tara, and in Atlanta during and after the Civil War.”

A review of Amazon’s “Best Sellers in Movies & TV” from Sunday did not show “Gone with the Wind” appearing in the top-100 ranking of bestsellers in the category.

However, by Wednesday, “Gone with the Wind” exploded in Amazon’s rankings to numerous top spots, including the following spots in the top-100 overall for the category:

  • #1 – Gone With the Wind (70th Anniversary Edition)
  • #2 – Gone with the Wind
  • #7 – Gone With The Wind
  • #9 – Gone with the Wind (70th Anniversary Edition) [Blu-ray] by Warner Home Video by Victor Fleming
  • #12 – Gone With The Wind | 75th Anniversary Edition | NON-USA Format | PAL | Region 4 Import – Australia
  • #23 – Gone With The Wind – 75th Anniversary Edition [Blu-ray]

  • #36 – Gone with the Wind
  • #37 – Gone with The Wind (DVD / Two-Disc 70th Anniversary Special Edition / FS) Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, Thomas Mitchell, Barbara O’Neil, Evelyn Keyes
  • #41 – Gone with the Wind (70th Anniversary Edition) [Blu-ray]
  • #85 – Gone with the Wind (Four-Disc Collector’s Edition)

The most impressive statistic for the American classic was the percentage change for the movie’s previous sales ranking, which Amazon calls its “Movers & Shakers” category. Numerous other classics also started to see dramatic rises in sales volume over the last 24 hours.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
