Exactly!
You cannot tell such a story without stepping on or trying to tap dance around some of the political/social sensitivities of today: race (other than white), religion (other than Christian), feminism/female empowerment (don’t show them as a weaker sex), sexual orientation and a little bit of national origin.
Better just kill more Nahhhzi’s and Russians.
I just purchased “Blazing Saddles” because I think it could fall prey to the cultural Nazis, and I watched it again last night.
I find it laughable that so many people are offended by that movie and consider it racist and sexist.
It IS racist and sexist, and that is the whole POINT of the movie. And in watching the interviews of the surviving cast (when they made the videos) they all understood that what they were doing in that movie was pointing a finger at racists and sexists of all stripes and RIDICULING them!
It occurs to me that openly ridiculing REAL RACISM in that fashion is far, Far, FAR more effective than this totalitarian assault on speech and thought as they attempt to prohibit even the mention of those racist or sexist words.
