‘We seem to be run by cultural juveniles’: Douglas Murray

Author Douglas Murray says we seem to be run by “cultural juveniles” after the British Film Institute’s decision to issue trigger warnings for some James Bond films. The British Film Institute in London issued the early films in the James Bond series with trigger warnings because they could “cause offence today”. The disclaimer warns that all films in John Barry: Soundtracking Bond and Beyond contain “language, images or other content that reflect views prevalent in its time but will cause offence today (as they did then)”. “I’m just trying to think back on the BFI released movies that I’ve seen in the past,” Mr Murray said. “Now, if they’re going to start putting trigger warnings on James Bond, I reckon ‘The 120 Days of Sodom’ probably needs some other kind of extreme warning.”
