It's a matter of self confidence.
That movie as well as "All In The Family" could not be made today....
A sign that the country has weakened.
you're probably right, which is rather odd. the real messages behind both shows were in keeping with the supposed aims of the proponents of political correctness. both showed the futility and ignorance of racism, but they wouldn't be considered harsh enough on the perpetrators these days. we are seldom allowed to laugh at the inanity of that viewpoint any more, we are forced to condemn instead of pity such fools. it may be that we have become too scared that, by inspecting such obvious ignorance, we may get a glimpse of the ignorance that is being foisted off on us as wisdom by the arbiters of public opinion.That movie as well as "All In The Family" could not be made today....
Slim F'N Pickens (sheriff) was the bomb in that movie... what a character actor he was... Sidenote: In Dr. Strangelove....Pickens was the pilot of the Nuke Bomber....and his shots were not done with the other part of the movie...the bunker scenes. So they told Pickens the movie was not a comedy...and to play it straight...he didn't find out till later. That's epic sh*t right there.... makes me want to watch it all over because of just that alone.the sheriff could be fatter, the last group of people that can be made fun off , without getting the wrath of the PC correct police on your case
I think so....but the left historically always starts out slow...and then escalates past sanity at some point.you're probably right, which is rather odd. the real messages behind both shows were in keeping with the supposed aims of the proponents of political correctness. both showed the futility and ignorance of racism, but they wouldn't be considered harsh enough on the perpetrators these days. we are seldom allowed to laugh at the inanity of that viewpoint any more, we are forced to condemn instead of pity such fools. it may be that we have become too scared that, by inspecting such obvious ignorance, we may get a glimpse of the ignorance that is being foisted off on us as wisdom by the arbiters of public opinion.
The show I really miss is Amos and Andy.That movie as well as "All In The Family" could not be made today....
