Blazing Saddles, 1974, R, A politically incorrect western, something liberals are sure to despise.

When they were alive my parents got me into Mel Brooks as they were fans of his. They were far more liberal than I am. I picture him being against the right and GOP when he satirises Rome with Fuck the Poor

Blazing Saddles is one of the most ‘woke’ movies on the planet.
Anti-racism, anti-systemic racism, anti-corruption, anti-greed, Pro-diversity, and anti-cliche.

But ALL they see is political incorrectness… A decade before PC came out.

I don't think you understand what "politically incorrect" means when it comes to that movie.

You've got to remember that the movie was about simple farmers. People of the land. The common clay of the new West.

You know...morons.

There are three Mel Brooks produced films I greatly respect:

“84 Charing Cross Road”: a gentle literary romance.

“The Fly”: A visceral Sci-Fi horror that is far superior to the original.

“Blazing Saddles”: One of the funniest films ever made. A satire of westerns.

Satire. Something Brooks is familiar with.

You clearly aren’t, Conservapoodia.

Blazing Saddles, 1974. A spoof western who inspired white racists when Obama was president: “The ~~sheriff~~ president is a NIG(DONNNG).”

A movie where the racists is a bad guys. If you think it's conservative you don't know Mel Brooks.

He IS against the right. He remained apolitical in public until 2020 and guess who he supported then? Biden.

We have to look at a film for when it is made, and what it is telling at that time. It is telling that the main reason it's being called a conservative film is because it would be racist by today's standards and nothing else. It shows you that right now being racist is seen as a conservative value.

Tell me you don't understand satire without telling me.
