Films that have aged because of bad behaviour

[GreyCrow]

Yep Dfens is now the norm rather than the societal outlier it was at the time

Austin Powers might be able to get away with it by being mostly a satire & even playing on how everything is essentially meant to send up the silly nature of older films.

Austin Powers was big on consent… ahead of its time in some ways.

My first thought was Blazing Saddles

Watched the Gene Wilder doco last night and it had clips of it and even cut the N stuff out. Personally I think it was never used racially but as an afront to racism as a mirror to it - but I recognise its green lighting wont happen today

It wouldn't get made today, but it's clearly showing all the racist characters are idiots and how stupid their racism is.

Another film that feels that way to me is Falling Down. More & more the pressures experienced by Duvall & Dfens are true today, and we see many people worn down by the world in a similar manner, even snapping, or I guess being into opioids in situations like these.

To add another film that was before its time, was Demolition Man. The describing of how every one has to be “nice”. How corporations have taken over, In the film it was Taco Bell, so the only restaurant you could go to was Taco Bell ect. Falling Down is another one.

On movies that have changed people perspective’s obviously any comedy movie from the 70’s & 80’s. Examples being Porky’s, Airplane, Animal House, Blazing Saddles ect. Of movies, Braveheart, mainly because of Mel Gibson and his drunken rant years ago, along with fictional inaccuracies, the same could be argued with his later film The Patriot. I would doubt if a movie like Logan’s Run would get made in today’s time due to its topic of ageism

It’s a lot like Kingswood Country, where the butt of the joke is on the actual racist, but that is not what people generally perceive,they are too hooked up on the words rather than the actions.

The Hangover Trilogy for sure

Not sure what's wrong with this one. Do you mind elaborating?

 

[ioppolo]

Austin Powers series which I thoroughly have enjoyed would be questioned today by some, to me it's still fun and I'd happily lazily watch it, though I recognise it probably wouldn't get made these days.

I barely remember them but I've also been told Ace Ventura.

Also, I reckon some of the early Bond/007 movies would have some female/male cliches that would be frowned on

I watched the first Ace Ventura recently, nothing stood out as being abhorrent. Jim Carrey just being Jim Carrey

One that I think is the opposite of what the OP asks for is The Life of Brian.

Attacked hard by the church upon it's realise.

Dustin hoffmans the graduate.

The character we are supposed to root for is literally a sick stalker who should be in prison. Its horrific.

Im staggered this movie hasnt been cancellled yet.
