What is your opinion? What other movies wouldn't survive besides the "Jazz Singer"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant recall the movie that sparked the discussion but there are classic films that could never be made today. Gone with the wind. Good luck even finding it on tv any more Im surprised the woke culture hasnt banned shakespeare. Many of his plays, especially the comedies, contain material they would freak out over. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of their stuff might be offensive today. What's the deal with your blurb which says, "Interests: Being able to write without getting warned"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speech here is pretty free. I am here after getting burned on a Flat Earth run site. You are free to criticize wokeism, as this is a Christian site. Support your Local Gunfighter and Support your Local Sheriff couldn't be made today either. Feminists would say it is misogynistic.

I love old movies especially mysteries but I cringe when I see how minorities are portrayed which includes Blacks and Asians. I especially hate to see blackface. One movie I like is the Kennel Murder Case starring William Powell. During the investigation, he interviewed the Chinese cook who was a murder suspect but stopped the Chinese cook from speaking pigeon English. The cook then spoke perfect English. Not here, but I've been warned and banned for a year for something I wrote on a Christian forum. It was the content that was objected to. The person I was conversing with had no problem with our conversation, but we were both banned. It didn't help when I accused the Moderator of bias.

The original Shakespeare plays were all played by biological male actors. I find that interesting. Gone with the Wind is sometimes shown on TCM. I have it on DVD.

But independent productions can still be made as long as budgets are reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, it is still available on Netflix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
