I put it this way, have you ever sat at a stop sign, waiting to pull out into a busy street? Have you ever had someone blare their horn to get you to move on it? What do you tell yourself? Do you swerve into the road to get that person to stop, or do you get mad and wait or do something passive aggressive like make them wait extra long? How you respond tells a lot about how you cope with peer pressure. and even ourselves? In recent months, I have seen more and more people with fair skin like mine joining protests, lamenting systemic injustice, and condemning acts of racism around the country
Film History of the 1970s
Next, Brooks spoofed Universal's mad-scientist, Frankenstein cycle of horror films with Young Frankenstein (1974) - one of his best films, with Gene Wilder as the brain surgeon, Peter Boyle as the Monster, and Marty Feldman as Igor. Martin Ritt's social-problem drama Norma Rae (1979), about a widowed mother and cotton mill worker who struggled for decent working conditions, brought a first Oscar win to Sally Field (famous for lighter film fare such as TV's The Flying Nun)
However, it's my view that there are dozens of books written about these subjects already; books that haven't needed to sex the discussion up with a horde of shambling undead. What would happen in a real zombie apocalypse? Given current politics, economics, cultural trends, and geography, I'd be willing to bet it happens closely to Brooks' vision.World War Z is structured along the lines of a documentary, a collection of remembrances about the world-wide zombie war
November 24, 2003 Ken Hanke Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Disjointed Brooks effort that is only occasionally amusing October 25, 2002 Jon Niccum Lawrence Journal-World Fifteen minutes of funny material trying desperately to fill a feature film. The film closes with coming attractions of "History of the World, Part II" that features a rousing Star Wars parody (anticipating Space Balls) called "Jews in Space" that includes a jaunty theme song
The Mel Brooks Collection Blu-ray: Blazing Saddles, High Anxiety, History of the World: Part I, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Silent Movie, Spaceballs, To Be or Not to Be, Twelve Chairs, Young Frankenstein
Though the film doesn't coalesce into a piece of classic comedy to match the grandiosity of the films it's satirizing, High Anxiety is decent mid-period Brooks, which is, let's face it, still funnier than most other comedies of the time. We're clearly meant to view the film's townsfolk as intolerant bigots and buffoons, but there will always be a minority of viewers who simply can't or won't understand how the film attempts to undercut racism
At that time three of his movies were already available on Blu-ray (Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein and Spaceballs) and it seemed only a matter of time before the other six would find their way to becoming available outside the collection. The 2.35:1 widescreen image History of the World: Part 1, with its colorful and varied production values, made the transition to high definition video pretty much intact
History of the World: Part I (1981) - IMDb
Often ridiculous but never serious, we learn the truth behind the Roman Emperor, we learn what REALLY happened at the Last Supper, the circumstances that surrounded the French Revolution, how to test eunuchs, and what kind of shoes the Spanish Inquisitor wore. It looks like it was based on bits and pieces of ideas that could have been built up into separate movies: a film about the stone age, a film about the Roman Empire, a film about the French Revolution
