Simple question. You know your opinion. You either believe it would or would not be a film that could be made today. So what are your thoughts? ... Copied to Clipboard!

Its a tough one because I think it absolutely holds up and audiences in general are still receptive to it, but I dont think the actors and studios would be willing to take the risk on something like this
there was also a ton of controversy about the movies treatment of people with disabilities even then that I can see both sides on. In some respects using the language of oppression even to prove a point is still using that language tl;dr its one example of a movie that I think probably wouldnt get made today even though it would still be successful --- BLACK LIVES MATTER Games: http://backloggery.com/wrldindstries302 \\ Music: http://www.last.fm/user/DrMorberg/ ...

I dont think so. Mainly RDJ and the "never go full R lines". More likely that studios would just avoid it.

I dont think so. Mainly RDJ and the "never go full R lines". More likely that studios would just avoid it. i don't think it's about people not realizing it's satire. in 2008 when Tropic Thunder was made there was this attitude that we were post-racism, so shows and movies felt free to use "ironic" racism to mock the racists but the thing is, 2016 revealed that there are still a lot of people who are racist like that. so people who experience racism every day don't want to be confronted with the language of racists in entertainment. Using racist language to make a joke is still using racist language. so I see the perspective of people who don't want to see that, and I definitely think no major studio would put a whole bunch of money into a movie built around that Dudebusters posted...

There was definitely implication there, especially given Chang's character. They even joke about it in the episode itself with things like having Pierce specifically hate him and say things like "I attack him! I attack blackface!"
