The British Film Institute (BFI) has provided multiple trigger warnings for audiences ahead of its upcoming season of classic film screenings in tribute to British film composer John Barry, including James Bond movies.
As media outlets The Guardian and The Daily Mail reported this week, the films shown at the upcoming “John Barry: Soundtracking Bond and Beyond” BFI season have been given a disclaimer warning that they “will cause offence [sic].”
Among these screenings are the two Sean Connery-era Bond flicks which Barry provided music for: 1967’s “You Only Live Twice,” and 1964’s “Goldfinger.”
The disclaimer – which can be found on BFI’s website, says that “many of these films contain language, images or other content that reflect views prevalent in its time, but will cause offence [sic] today (as they did then).
The website added, “The titles are included here for historical, cultural or aesthetic reasons and these views are in no way endorsed by the BFI or its partners.
