You can't watch anything once you have fallen down the rabbit hole. Don't hate me, but Legally Blonde was on so I started to watch just because I have heard the title for so many years and never saw. First thing I noticed was a transvestite in the restaurant scene at the beginning. Normalizing this has been a campaign for way longer than we ever realized. There was something else I noticed very symbolism related but I can't now remember what it was. Might have been butterflies.
Big Bang Theory also normalized the idea that hopelessly nerdy guys waste money on $50 T-shirts from Urban Outfitters and end up sleeping with different chicks on a regular basis. That dumb show tried horribly to cash in on the popularity of geek culture while completely failing to capture its real essence.
"Friends" introduced us to Chandler's tranny dad waaaaaaay back in the 90s. "Tootsie" was thrown in our faces in the 80s. "Some Like It Hot" in the 50s.
Agreed. But this was just a person sitting at the next table. There wasn't supposed to be anything funny or outrageous about it. Just supposed to be a "normal" person.
I hear ya. My point being that (((they))) started it long, long ago (see Weimar Germany for reference) so that by the time a movie like Legally Blonde came out it's considered "normal". Desensitization to degeneracy.
me too. I see it all the time now. Me and my daughter watch movies together often. We were watching an old movie today... Pillow Talk with Doris Day and Rock Hudson.
I noticed the black and white checkerboard patterned floor. They also had several scenes where Rock Hudson walks into the obstetrician & confusion takes place and they think he's saying he's pregnant. The doctor berates the nurse several times for not believing that a man can get pregnant.
