Hollywood doesn’t make movies for me and hasn’t for decades.
It is like Siskel and Ebert said years ago. “The early movie makers were raised on GREAT BOOKS and made movies of the same.
Today’s movie makers were raised on comic books.”
Now some DVD releases of old movie come with a warning about “racism” in the movies.
The Gary Cooper movie Unconquered (1947) has such a warning about the portrayal of American Indians. which I found to be very realistic.(I do study history of that time)
And a few nights ago I saw a TCM broadcast of THE JOHNSTOWN FLOOD(1926) in which a warning about “racism” at that time. As I watched the movie I kept waiting for the racism but did not see it. There was a happy black man in a few scenes, two black dancers in a saloon scene and a Jewish merchant but nothing overt racist. Maybe they are seeing “racism” where there was no racism.
The host, Ben Mankiewicz, of the show also found “racism” In the old movie Africa Screams with Abbot and Costello about an ape that falls in love with Costello, so the producers claimed the ape was not female but a male causing one wag to say that gay was now OK in Hollywood, causing the host to cry about “such a racist statement”.
Plot: Extraterrestrial beings travel the galaxy to free men “oppressed” by females to make way for an entirely-homosexual society.
A society of that make up would last 1 generation, without “freeing men oppressed by females” (conversion therapy!).
Boom...another Mel Brooks joke. Well done.
the DERPS are desperate to get Obama’s planned race war up and running
Cotton Club did kind of flop.
