Why don't you name some of these "lots and lots of overtones"?
And please do NOT mention the propaganda in the songs and story which are a PARODY of American scare propaganda of those days and nowadays, okay!
Usually I leave out my 2 cents in message boards, but since it was asked that the racial overtones (or undertones, as it might be) be pointed out, I'll happily provide a few examples -
Lady in classroom trying to pronounce "Marijuana" and asks for help because she doesn't "speak mexican"
The whole communist thing with the Red scare and Mr Krechinsky being "Polish"
The Asian eating the baby - Seriously, wtf? As if that needed to be pointed out
The Black family running inside when they see the hoard of people with pitchforks and burning torches - I laughed so hard at that.
There you go -
By the way, the whole point of those jokes were to illustrate the ridiculous social mores and ignorance at the time.
Enjoy.
Thankfully you mention the point of those scenes.
I mean... that's what the whole film is about...!
The original post seems to imply that the purpose of the movie is to be racist!
That is just like calling John Waters' movies anti-gay - just because he satirizes the mindset of American suburbia.
get over yourself you baby, it's a satire of a 1930's propaganda movie.
I hope one day you'll get off of your pink puffy cloud of political correctness and stop being a stupid git
Awesome! Cant get enough of racist jokes. I hate politicaly correct movies. Gonna grab this movie as soon as possible.
My favorite was the explanation of jazz musicians using the music, specifically the unnecessary "Grace notes" to entice white women into having sex with them... damn, I need to learn how to play the saxophone.
Anyway, don't get too worked up over the original poster... i smell a troll on this board.
So in conclusion, Simon & Simon weren't brothers in real life, only on television.
Ditto
If you seriously thought the mob with pitchforks and torches were heading for that terrified black family then you're totally off your rocker. In fact, they were making fun of ignorant old America when that posh woman said she didn't speak Mexican.
sharewhy don't you go cry about it?
