Steven Spielberg has blasted the woke trend of revising old works of art -- including movies and books -- to appease modern sensitivities, calling it a form of 'censorship.'
“For me, it is sacrosanct. It’s our history, it’s our cultural heritage,” he continued. “I do not believe in censorship in that way.”“That was a mistake,” he said. “I never should have done that.is a product of its era. No film should be revised based on the lenses we now are, either voluntarily, or being forced to peer through.”
He continued: “All our movies are a kind of a signpost of where we were when we made them, what the world was like, and what the world was receiving when we got those stories out there. So I really regret having that out there.”
