Racist crap.

I don't think it was that racist. They showed the villain as Evil Lord with dark magic stuff so they have to add certain things like monkey brain as desert, eating snakes etc. Many pulp stories of 30's used be like this with stuff like hidden temple, cult, magical artifacts.

Golden Age films were less racist than films of the 70's and 80's? You mean the period where blackface and yellowface were acceptable and cowboys were always killing those savage Indians? Sure.

It's not racist. It's fiction. Good Guys vs Bad Guys.

I agree that the movie has aged well but not for a racist reason. If you have been to India or even looked at their press (not ours, their), you would know that pretty much anything depicted in the movie, save for the actual magic stuff, still happens in there to this day. The poor villages, the slave labour, the evil lords, the caste system (which stopped existing only on paper).

I cannot stand people who bitch & moan about movies being racist. It takes an extremely whiny, uptight individual to be griping about movies being racist. Well guess what? There are ugly things in life. You can't go around bitching about that don't meet your definition of political correctness. What next, ban all old movies? I am sick of people like you!

I have found this to be the greatest irony about New Hollywood movies. We grew up being taught that these movies were oh, so racist, sexist, etc. But in many ways New Hollywood films were far more offensive, and they did it in a way that was very underhanded, by hiding it under a veneer of fantasy as in, "How can this be racist or sexist? This is all pure imagination."

The Phantom Menace (which I actually like) is a classic example. It's very obvious that some of the alien species were based on dated stereotypes of ethnic groups, like Wattoo and the Neimodians.

Same thing with the Ferengi of Star Trek. I'm too lazy to post the link but someone found an old antisemitic cartoon from the 1930s depicting Jews, and the design of the Ferengi look exactly like it.

In the case of this movie, I suppose the blatant racism was expected to be excused as "pure fantasy" and therefore not to be taken seriously. *shrugs*

STFU you woke prick.

Yep, thats when the most succesful and best movies were made. Instead of braindead content noone is willing to pay for. And this movie is about a cult! Even a cult with historical roots. So go and consume your content. Thats the only thing left for you, cause you wont get anything else anymore. And thats only your fault!
