@ScientistMel Do you think for the time period which that movie portrays, that the sterotypes were accurate?

I am ignorant in may ways but my own perception on the British back then does lean on them still being country conquers, with a "we are better than you, you should do as we say" kind of arrogance. That is something I dont see as much these days but do see some, and something I can see being more prevalent kind of attitude in the past generations.

Was it how it was back then you think?

@Idrake there was the British arrogance… i’m speaking, mostly about the cultural portrayal of the Asian populations and their “need” of a white dude to save everyone from their own people …particularly because of the British colonization of India.

I recognize our society didn’t have as much info when the film was made as we do now… it’s just cringey for me to watch at this juncture in my life.

I love me some Indy… but it’s a different lens now.

@Idrake Spielberg and Lucas are master film makers. JAWS is perfection. I can’t fault anybody for the films of the time.

That said, I have a very hard time watching old films where black face is used. I think it’s important for us to remember the past. I also think it’s important to recognize that we can do a better job and make fantastic art using a different perspective.
