[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bad news bears. I will also give an impassioned defense of the one really racist line in the movie—like blazing saddles, I think it is an incisive sendup of racist attitudes. [/quote] I was just talking about this with my buddies this weekend. Is the line you're talking about the one where Tanner says "Jews, ****s, ******s, and now a girl!?" I agree the movie would never get made today. And when you get down to it, it has a really progressive message! A bunch of kids excluded because of their race, gender, socioeconomic status, and athletic ability band together and take down the athletic white boys. In part because the dad, steeped in all kinds of toxic masculinity,* completely alienates his son! (*They wouldn't have used that phrase, of course. But that's basically what was going on.) [/quote]
