Racist and Prejudice

(If your gonna say something racist in a film, know what your doing.) Or not * * *

Unintended racism.

(Charlton Heston plays a Mexican, nuff said.)

"Song of the South" the film Splash Mountain at Disney world is based on is banned because it was considered racist for using the term 'Tar Baby' despite the fact that a character makes a baby out of actual tar. And the black characters in the film are portrayed as sympathetic and human more so than the white characters. Yet 'Dumbo' and 'Peter Pan' have platinum special editions.

(This is an amazing scene from a great movie, but a friend of mine who happens to be black recently addressed to me that a white man uses that word many, many times and to my knowledge no one batted an eye.)

At least this film is racist and knows it and just has fun with it.




(Silence of the Lambs was protested by the homosexual community for being anti-homosexual despite that the book and film many times remind us that Buffalo Bill is not a transexual or homosexual at all...why did you think Demme directed 'Philadelphia' sadly enough, he was bullied into it because he felt bad of the film he'd already made. Despite that I still enjoy 'Philadelphia'.)

The homosexual community protested 'Basic Instinct' because they believed the killer was portrayed as a homosexual . . . despite that 'Swoon' is directed by a gay man & based on a true story about two homosexual men who murdered a young boy to get off in the 1920's. And Alfred Hitchcock directed 'Rope' inspired by that event.
American Psycho one of the most protested novels by feminists and the film is written and directed by a woman. (Directed by Mary Heron.)
