Funnily enough casual racism was pretty rife at that school.
Dirty old bugger.
No warning before the programme about baldy, fat, old perverts letching at women. I'm expecting a mass of complaints from the 200 people who watched it.
I saw it again a few/some years ago and it was a bit of an eye opener.
Still love how the Cat does all the work..
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
Google it? I can't even say it!
In the Internet era most of it seems pretty tame really.
He's far from alone in that guilt (or there would have been no need for #metoo) - but as brilliant a film-maker as he was, he was a pretty poor human being who made great art.
Hollywood has always had an appalling attitude to women generally, just like the music industry!
I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
Nothing in Ustinovs performance as Poirot plays as racist to me, he is simply eccentric.
The recent Poirot movies with Ken Branagh dial back the eccentricity a bit, but that's more down to their darker tone.
Albert Finney goes all in as Poirot of course, but again that could just as easily be an eccentric English man with a different accent.
One of our dinosaurs... which has White actors made up as Chinese people in Chinese outfits, very bad Chinese accents, and the Chinese being endlessly two-faced, another racist stereotype, isn't in the same ball park. They also all do kung-fu and Ustinov makes an odd noise like a cat all the time.
All children are essentially captive audiences. I can remember many things that I was shown or was allowed to see that messed me up. But kids rarely say anything; they just go with it and become desensitized if it happens enough. Racism, sexism, physical abuse, mental abuse, etc. All kinds of ways to objectify and dehumanize people, naturalized through media. Having kids of my own now, I’m so much more aware now of where my own path forked off in the wrong direction at times.
