Sky Race Warnings on movies
Sky has started putting warnings on movies for outdated values. Fair enough but have you seen some of these on the list. Just about every film may have to have a warning the way this is going.
The Aliens one is baffling
Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)
The only non-white character in the film Mr Yunioshi is played by white actor Mickey Rooney. Pretending to be a Japanese man, he wears fake teeth and puts on a Japanese accent.
The Jungle Book (1967 and 2016 live-action remake)
There have been suggestions the character of orangutang King Louie, which did not feature in Rudyard Kipling's original novel, implied inequality between African Americans and Caucasians. It has also been claimed the character's portrayal is based on what white people thought about black people at the time, such as his poorer linguistic skills and him wanting to be 'like the other men'.
Aladdin (1992)
Critics have expressed concerns over the story's use of Orientalist stereotypes, while casting decisions also came under scrutiny, with Aladdin, Princess Jasmine and the genie played by white actors in the animation.
The Goonies (1985)
The portrayal of Clever Data, a gadget freak who helps the boys in situations, speaks in a stereotypically Asian accent.
Dumbo (1941)
Dumbo has been accused of containing racist stereotypes of African Americans at the time in the form of black crows, who use jive-like speech patterns. The main bird is even named Jim Crow, a nod to the racist segregationist Jim Crow laws of the time, and is voiced by a white actor.
Aliens (1986)
The film has been accused of 'hi-tech racism and android apartheid' due to the way in which humans in the film deal with the presence of 'other'. It has been suggested the character of Ripley, played by Sigourney Weaver, treated them with fear and suspicion.
Trading Places (1983)
The film was littered with controversies, including Dan Akroyd wearing blackface, continuous stereotyping of black people and women and frequent use of the 'n-word' throughout the movie.
Flash Gordon (1980)
The film's antagonist, Ming the Merciless, played by Max von Sydow, is viewed as a classic example of 'Yellow Peril' xenophobia.
Gone With The Wind (1939)
Gone With The Wind has been criticised for romanticising slavery and glosses over the horrors of slavery. The film also features the 'n-word' throughout, which was used in the book.
Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
Some criticised the film for feeding on racial stereotypes and on Western beliefs that Arabs needed foreigners to guide them.
Tropic Thunder (2008)
Robert Downey Jr appeared in blackface for the comedy blockbuster, while many considered use of the word 'retard', uttered 17 times in the film to denote a person with learning difficulties, as unacceptable.
The Jazz Singer (1927)
The musical drama was criticised for Al Jolson's use of blackface, though many have since pointed to the fact the actor was a civil rights advocate, often backing projects by black artists, including playwright Garland Anderson.
The Littlest Rebel (1935)
Perhaps Shirley Temple's most controversial movie, The Littlest Rebel, in which she appears in blackface, is also accused of glorifying Confederate ideals, with black slaves appearing unhappy to be set free.
The Lone Ranger (2013)
Questions were raised over Johnny Depp's portrayal of Tonto, a Native American, as it sparked a debate over whether actors should play a race other than their own. The actor himself said he considered the role an attempt to 'try to right the wrongs of the past', meaning poor portrayals of Natives in Hollywood.
Balls of Fury (2007)
The ping-pong based comedy starring Christopher Walken was criticised for caricaturing Asian characters and carrying racist jokes and a running gag making fun of blind people.
The Last Samurai (2003)
Tom Cruise's role as a captain hired to train the Japanese army to fight a Samurai rebellion is considered problematic by some for the sense of American superiority portrayed in the film.

I hope they don't ban Blazing Saddles my favourite film.

Re: Sky Race Warnings on movies
Outdated values? Little Britain isn't so old and is chopped too. We can and should mock everyone. The Cultural Marxism is running amok and kids are being brainwashed.
I was once compared to Woody from Toy Story. Was this racism? I demand it now come with a warning! How dare they compare a white man with big eyes to a cowboy toy. Racism!
It's stupid. Do we now have Indiana Jones with a warning in case the millions of Nazi's (in Beanz head) get triggered? Mental.

Re: Sky Race Warnings on movies
Insane. Trading places showed the views of two elderly brothers in the early 80s. 12 years a slave etc shows the views from another time period.
What about Spartacus, gladiator etc.
See no evil hear no evil mocks the blind and deaf. It will be impossible to list a film that doesn't have something in it that could be interpereted as offensive.
The world is fucked

Re: Sky Race Warnings on movies
Ha!
So they are still showing them but including a legal disclaimer because Murdoch doesn't want to be sued or something?
A lot of people are moaning because they want to be as outraged as those being offended by the Films themselves and are pissed they are not banned outright, and i am assuming being showed unedited?
Fucking hell man...1st world Problems ;D
As a Brit i am offended by the word 'Movies' can we change the title to 'Sky Race Warnings on Films' please.
Bin Sky ..Murdoch is a edited horrible name cunt anyway

Re: Sky Race Warnings on movies
Blazing Saddles is really funny, I always thought that, esp the opening scenes

Re: Sky Race Warnings on movies
They'd have a field day with the old cartoons we grew up on as kids.
Speedy Gonzalez..well duh.
Slowpoke Rodriquez his cousin...double whamey. Stereotype PLUS hurtful insult to those afflicted with down syndrome
Daffy Duck...insults those with speech impediments AND anger issues
Yosemite Sam...clearly a hot tempered violent man of the South who fires guns indiscriminately AND ridicule's little people
Captain Caveman...disparages the homeless who suffer multi personality disorder
Great Grape Ape...well he's an ape so
Elmer Fudd...just another guy with a little man complex packing heat looking for trouble!
Pebbles Flintstone...who's the sick SOB who thought sexualizing a toddler showing middrift was expectable ffs
Ranger Smith...he's a pig with a badge and should not be glamorized
Bluto...fat shaming
Wimpy...the impoverished with eating disorders shall not be insulted
Popeye...another violent overly sarcastic white dude with a drug dependency. I see a pattern
Porky Pig...a pantsless stuttering perverted pig should not be glorified
Optimus Prime...Simply on its face 'Prime' infers dominance and superiority. Can't have that.
Olive Oil...anorexia and nymphomania is not a laughing matter.
The Crows from Dumbo...well shat ok fait enough, clearly racist :-X

Why would you be sued for showing Breakfast at Tiffany's? If that is the case perhaps the law might be....wrong.

Re: Sky Race Warnings on movies
I love Mel Brooks but the idea that 'They' whoever this big bogeyman is, can ban a film that by now you could quite easily have owned is laughable.
We now have the same people claiming 'Cancel Culture' every five seconds, moaning about a few words before a film even begins, and demanding censorship of.....words ;D
You could not make it up.

Except nobody is censoring it. Nobody. You can watch it like i would watch Young Frankenstien or The Producers or The man with Two brains for the Umpteenth time becasue it is there in full.
The cultural industry in the Uk is collapsing. Theaters, Actors, technicians etc all losing their jobs and there is silence on that because people don't give a shit about people who dedicate their life to writing, making and producing these films etc that people love.
Most of them are written by and full of people the fucking killjoys on here woud call
'Leftists'
Fucking hell it's hilarious on one level but bloody tragic on another like Shakepear and the best i suppose ;D

No. most of the guys here really do not give a fuck about free speech. They would willingly stand by and watch decent people all over the world rot in jail and die after being tortured for excercising free speech.
The amount of derision and general disdain when i have mentioned or linked to Amnesty International and Index against Censorship campaigns and events i have worked on here proves that.
This what happens when you believe any conspiracy that has been designed to distract your from REAL CENSORSHIP AND REMOVAL OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND FREE SPEECH
BLAZING SADDLES HAS NOT BEEN BANNED

i'm not sure how most of that relates to my post. i would say this is what happens when you believe instead of know. i haven't said anything about movies but they are want & getting things changed like aunt jemima. when you start putting feelings above free speech this is the path it leads to

Take you own advice
'This is what happens when you believe instead of know'
Blazing Saddles hasn't been banned. People want to believe it has but when it is shown and explained that has not happened
They simply do not want to know.

Re: Sky Race Warnings on movies
What if the movie is about a race ? Like - Chariots Of Fire ?
Would they warn you about race and the movie is about a race ? ;)

You can still watch every film in your list and you can watch every film in these clips
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C45g3YP7JOk
So what's your point ?
Look. If sky were really that disgusted at that those movies they wouldn't green light any of it. White society knows how to bury sh*t. If anything it's a marketing tactic, by giving this phoney fake warning, will make ppl wanna watch it more.
Secondly racist movies are not the issue.
The issue is that these movies take place against a backdrop of systemic and institutional racism. And that backdrop–of housing and job discrimination, racial profiling, unequal health care access, blk ppl getting killed and harmed on the streets and a media that regularly presents blacks in the worst possible makes these movies take on a different meaning

I love Trading Places too, partly for it's exposure of the racist attitudes of one of the brothers making the bet, Jamie Lee Curtis boobs, and of course Eddie Murphy's timing which is amazing. The thing is it is not banned. It just undermines the legitimacy of real concerns about censorship when people make up stuff to try and justify their own beliefs.

:rolleyes:
The warnings themselves are arbitrary and make no sense, 'Tropic Thunder' has a warning? WHY? It's a satire of asshole method actors doing blackface and "going full retard" which serious actors have done and faced 0 backlash for.
For example...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H9Yh5z2hAI
Is Sean Penn mentally handicapped? Then why is there no warning label for this movie? What about Rainman? Is Dustin Hoffman mentally handicapped? Why no warning label?
'Trading Places' is a brilliant movie, it's hilarious, and yes one of the brothers is racist but it doesn't need a trigger warning label on it.
How the fuck is 'King Louie' from The Jungle Book racist especially in the cartoon version when he was voiced by Louie fucking Prima?!?!
'Aliens'? Aliens?!?!?!?
The warning labels are fucking dumb

Re: Sky Race Warnings on movies
Just for clarification are these flicks, other than Gone with the Wind on a certain platform, actually going anywhere? Sounds like it’s literally a 2-3 line label to viewers almost like warnings that already exist on movies. Yeh def a little hyper sensitive but there’s a difference between chopping or 86ing them outright and a FYI label.
I mean seriously name any movie in the history of Hollywood and at least 1 line or scene can be highlighted as outdated, offensive or racially ‘whitewashed’. You’d literally have to delete the majority of Westerns from the early Century 30’s through 70’s. How many times did Burt Reynolds depict an Indian ffs. Aliens is a head scratcher. I thought it was for ‘Vazquez’. Ironic though as it spawned one of the most badass characters for a female lead over the movies and stood apart.

No they are not going anywhere. Which is why i have said about a trillion times in this thread already, that people love to exaggerate.

If your idea of censorship is not having the right to demand a private company remove a warning from a product they have paid for the rights to, you probably need to have a little more grit sprinkled in your shoes... softy.

Warnings like what? Don't record this & sell on the black market? Or "This movie contains nudity, profane language, sexual content, etc" :rolleyes: .....the warnings have only gotten longer you've got to warn people about smoking these days. Why? Who is the target audience for these warnings? And as you see from the list of films the warnings themselves are arbitrary and lump everything together regardless of if it's satire or a comedy or serious. 'Tropic Thunder' is offensive? Really? To who?

Ironic how Mr. Photographer, Mr. Punk Rock is ok with warning labels on art. I guess you wouldn't remember Tipper Gore and the PMRC who slapped a warning label on Frank Zappa's entirely INSTRUMENTAL album, Danzig skirted the PMRC with the lyrics in 'Mother', Dee Snider of 'Twisted Sister' railed against Tipper Gore in front of Congress, NOFX wrote 'The PMRC Can Suck on This'......and yet here you are defending this warning label. How very punk of you ;D
It ain't my place to speak over the artist's meaning or crowd their style. I can have an opinion on art, but I don't require a warning Grandma.
