Which movie released in the past, in your opinion would be unacceptable/banned today?


Blue Lagoon comes to the mind as Brooke Shields was like 15 years old in the movie. Could you think of any other movies?

That was what I was going to say, but I only watched it for the first time maybe in the last 10 years, pretty sure it was Netflix DVD-by-mail... Can I find it streaming anywhere?

Fight Club- anything red pilled and sympathetic to the plight of Men is unacceptable in today's world.

I would argue that its satirical elements on late '90s consumerism and misguided toxic machismo would resonate even more today.

reply

It would resonate but the topic of this thread is would it get made and the answer is no. Any form of entertainment sympathetic to the male experience would not exist. We are the disposable gender after all.

reply

Haha, what are you talking about? Get out of your persecution bubble. It's a sardonic satire based on a popular bestseller with major talent bolstering it in front of as well as behind the camera. How does something like that not get made?

Asking for an answer with at least one foot in the realities of film production as opposed to boogeyman-based projection and speculation.

reply

Seems a little harsh. Everyone’s speculating in this thread. That’s the point of a hypothetical exercise.

reply

Soul Man(1986) I think all the subtly and nuance would get lost today. It would get labeled as “blackface”.

reply

Yep!
True.

Gone with the Wind and pretty well most films from that era for having white people in the lead roles.
