Really? disgusting? So sorry I am not PC enough for you. I was reacting to the self-important tone the reviewer has put forth.
"For what else is Frankenstein’s creation but a symbol for the Jew who, like the medieval Golem, is rejected by society and wreaks unholy revenge on his
oppressors? And what else is Brooks’ oeuvre, but an attempt to shatter the boundaries of polite society in the name of subversive Jewish humor?"
c'mon it's a musical comedy. I don't think symbolism need apply.
and I was just using my own "subversive Jewish humor" there, so no need to get your panties in a twist.
"Now, with the double whammy of “The Producers” and “Young Frankenstein,” Brooks has also resurrected and redefined the Broadway book musical. "
really? I beg to respectivally differ.
" No one has done a better job than Brooks of taking the feelings of inferiority engendered by Jewish vulnerability and transmuting them into both cinematic and theatrical gold."
I'm sure that was Brooks' number one priority when creating one of the funniest movies of all time.
I am laughing at the pompousity of the reviewer, not the Race of the Jewish people, so get over your self.
"I'm an American, Damnit!!! And if it's three things I don't believe in, it's quitting and math."
