The MoFo Musical Countdown - Group Watch

Interesting, but this hinges on the want of the audience to feel for the characters or connect to them or sympathize with them and watch films as a sort of dream or fantasy rather than as works of art made within a specific context in a specific time, that you must approach from the point of view of an in-the-future watcher. Clearly, this leaves a lot out like what you already mentioned:

So I think the main caveat here would be the filmmakers' consciousness (or lack thereof) that what they're depicting can seem off in the future due to social changes and greater awareness amongst the audience. As much as I hate phrases such as "the product of its time", it still seems to me this argument largely floats around the idea of fun and entertainment taken directly from the film at face value rather than a higher level of engagement that circumvents this to see the film as what it was during its release. It was a box office hit. It was seemingly loved by everyone, including by the leftists, who were too preoccupied with capital vs. labor to care about modern-day liberal sex politics.

Fair, I guess, especially as a general statement.

Did The Meaning of Life (1983) have a scene where tall buildings moved about on their own? If so I seen it but so long ago that you could say I haven't seen it.

Glad to have finally seen it. If no one else plans to watch it we can move on more quickly if you guys want. Certainly won’t hurt my feelings. I will go more traditional next time. Probably go blind again though.

To be fair, we already got a couple new participants, so I'm cool with waiting the allotted time. Also, I don't believe Citizen Rules has gotten to it yet.

I’m cool, I have a musical list a mile long. Just feel bad I picked something no one is interested in. Genuinely thought maybe a break from traditional musicals would go over. Should have picked South Pacific, which I also watched today.

I'll probably give it one more day and, if nobody else posts here, I'll move on to the next round.

While their year of origin may mitigate their grosser bits, if something sticks out as problematic and makes me feel uncomfortable, it's still going to negatively impact my viewing experience. That the behavior used to be considered okay doesn't change that as it's likely the case that times changed for the better.

I watched the film and TBH I have no idea what sexual harassment you see there.

How about giving Sean another go at it?

Fair enough, perhaps it wasn't as problematic as I remembered.

Not sure if sarcastic or not. To be clear, I'm not saying this character's behavior is commendable.
