Even though a lot of racism was left out in the Gone with the Wind movie, there is one thing in the book that was changed in the movie, that made one character look really bad. In the book, Prissy is a very young girl (I think she is only 11 or 12 years old in the beginning. There is this one scene in which Melly gives birth to her son (she nearly dies) and Prissy gets slapped by Scarlett for not taking the situation seriously enough and lying about being experienced in that field. The problem is that Prissy looks nothing like 12 in the movie. She is obviously at least 16, if not older, and this makes her look dumb instead of childish. This is problematic because Prissy's behavior in the books is pretty normal for a lot of children.

Is funny to me how only one thing from The Hunger Games made it to this list. You could do another ranking with the whole trilogy.
Literally there's
- Cato's death, which lasted the whole night
- Haymitch seriously worse alcoholism
- Thr fact that Glimmer'd dress was transparent. Actually, this is worse after reading what finnnick says about snow prostituting victors.
-Katnnis hearing damage after the bomb in the first games
- Katniss freaking burns after the bomb in the third book
- How is describe what happens to the avocs that katniss new from district 12
Literally you have AT LEAST a Top 30 things that wrte change in the movie because of censoring.

Actually, an example that should count for this list is in A Clockwork Orange book, where there is a part in which Alex goes to his record shop and finds two ten year old girls whom are playing hooky like him. So he, and I am being serious right now, lures them back to his apartment, makes them climb ten flights of stairs, tricks the tired girls into drinking Scotch, gets them naked, and then proceeds to beat and rape both of them! The movie adaptation changes this scene quite a bit to make it much less shocking.

Forgot Jurassic Park. The deaths in the original book are much more nightmare inducing and gorier compared to the film. There’s even an instance at the beginning where children are frigging attacked by escaped compies and a few day’s old baby has his face eaten off! Sweet dreams

The racism in Gone With the Wind novel should be looked as a historical view. That's how people thought. We don't have to agree with it, but we must understand that's how it was. When we try to remove the dark side of history we remove the truth about our ancestors.

1: 11 While Aslan doesn’t physically tear away Eustace’s dragon flesh, as seen here he does scrape lines in the sand that also appear on Eustace’s dragon body as he does so. So they do keep some element of the original transformation method from the book.

Before I Fall. I'm guessing the clothes the girls wore for the day, but I'm positive about the scene where Sam makes out with her teacher. That would have put the movie at R instead of PG-13. And, it's a YA novel.

I remember reading The Hunger Games back in middle school and I had to give my parents a permission slip to read it.
Thankfully, they signed it and I read it despite the violence and trauma.

Although I am more of a book person than watching the movie that is based on the book, but I must agree there are some things that should not be included with making the movie of it

Just as well that Paper Towns cut out the Sea World scene, as it might have been too distracting. The characters worrying that Margo might have ended her life was also omitted.
