Often, in discussions about old movies, someone will say, “That movie couldn’t be made today.”, and inevitably someone else will disagree.

Idiocracy…
I showed this to my 16 year old nephew and he was legit upset/offended and I had to turn it off.
He was shocked they could say ‘those bad words’ in a movie. I don’t dare show him Pulp Fiction.
Sounds like he needs a cool uncle to counteract the excessive sheltering his parents are doing.
Wait what because of the bad words? I. What?
If you’ve grown up as a kid only having access to the internet in the last 6 years or so, yeah I could see how Idiocracy might be shocking. The dialog in that movie is the antithesis of the status quo nowadays. For a kid without context about the satirical and parodical nature of the film, they might think that the movie was endorsing that kind of language.
It would take some guidance from a guardian on what it means, why its relevant, and why its actually become important over time.
Its a required watch in my mind.
That’s nuts. I remember being 11 years old and one of our friends snuck a copy of South Park’s Bigger, Longer, and Uncut they stole from their older brother over to my place, and when they started singing the “Uncle Fucker” song, we lost our minds laughing, fumbling for the remote to turn down the volume before the neighbor ladies overheard and got us in trouble lol
It’s crazy how much Tiktok has normalized censorship for this generation
Really good point. Historical context is key
Your nephew is kind of wuss.
go away, baitin.
Aw please tell us more about this tragic incident :3
The documentary?
We’re living it, baby!
Maybe some dark history drama stuff. Let’s hope we will be able to laugh about all this again one day
