Loving the nuanced view of the film! Im happy to see someone talking about how something couldnt be made today in a positive light! It's always just people complaining that they either can't acceptably be extremely hurtful to groups of people for no reason or making it up. Plenty of recent media includes racial slurs, like Curb Your Enthusiasm or Shameless, and plenty of the other things that people claim to not be allowed today. I think now these things are just used in media more poignantly. Now when slurs or sexism or whatever is in media, it's presented and then condemned or simply not used in a neutral nor positive light. Media isn’t unallowed to use certain words or convey ideas, but the creators of media are more informed about what types of messages are harmful to groups of people and general society, and so are consumers, who are able to vote with their wallets.
Thanks for your comment! You raise some interesting points there. I always try to be objectively fair in whatever I review. I didn't feel I could avoid covering the topic, as much as I love the film...
@CalsCinema I assumed for much of it that you disliked the film based on the title. For some reason I took it as you claiming it's beyond moronic, as in especially moronic, rather than having more to offer than just being moronic.
I loved the movie. I saw it when it first came out in the theaters. I don't have a problem with racial humor as long as it is done in the proper context and for humor's sake and not trying push a negative racial agenda.
What's your favourite Steve Martin film?

Who cares what your AI thinks?
@@davidm9618 Not AI. I write and record each script 👍
Great movie and the racist words are not a problem then or now. Only difference is now they leave off the R.
This doesn't come off as AI generated at all. You just sound like an ignorant fool.
@@SeasonedWriter It does. And you are leeching off the creative work of others because you have no talent.
@@CalsCinema "Script?" LOL. Poorly, I might add.
