In the 1970s good old 1950s TV scripts were rewritten to make a woman the lead. In the 1980s it was women who kicked butt.
Now such good old movie plots are rewritten to make the main characters a different race.
Wonder how Casablanca or Treasure of the Sierra Madre would be rewritten. No doubt the BAD guys would still be lilly white.
“Wonder how Casablanca or Treasure of the Sierra Madre would be rewritten.”
There’d be a black guy playing the role of Sam Spade.
(Somehow, I don’t think that’s going to fly.)
