Here's some slapstick fun from the 90's where a mouse and a cat. . . . . .
Film studio "Yes but where is the moral lesson that we must teach our slav. . . . I mean viewers, ahha"?
Director "Well there wasn't really the need"
Studio "REEEEEEEEEEE, REEEEEEEEEE, you know how oppressed whaman are, you know how racist the 90's were, honestly it's like you're intentioanlly
bigoted, I bet you voted for . . . . !!!!!!!!"?
Director "Just, just, pay me money and I'll write your script, thank you master"!
Studio "That's better, now - female lead; moral lessons; some celebrity who can't act; NOT TOO MUCH SLAPSTICK, this film isn't about fun it's about
learning the lessons of racism and sexism, patriarchy and race history". The only real things the common man cares about!
Director "It's Tom and Jerr......."
Studio "Do you need a trip to the . . . . . . .Dungeon"?
Director "No, sir, I'll have your film ready in, say, 3 hours"?
Studio "Yes, yes, YESSSSSSS AHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, Ahem, Yes, good, release the trailer with all the funny bits and make sure you highlight, as much
as possible, that female lead, we'll make her super witty"!
This is the formula for, basically, all of Hollywood, they have a narrative and they're going to push it until society shifts back to adulthood again.
The polarization, even in films now, is so depressing. Everyone has a lesson to give, it's annoying.
