I am reminded of a standup comic I saw on TV a couple months ago. He talked about going to see old movies at a theater in Los Angeles. There were people in the theater that objected to the characters in a movie filmed in the 40s not living up to modern ideals. "Sure, let the women clear the dishes while the men retire to the den for cigars and brandy. Can you believe it?" "can you believe the way they treat the Indians" ..........
Certainly in this day and age, these would be considered distasteful, as would Ricky spanking Lucy, a black employee having to step and fetch and say "Yassuh Boss, I cleans it up good.", Father automatically knowing best, or any of a host of things that society has (hopefully) grown out of. Nonetheless, these movies are not portraying life today, or necessarily saying that we should go back to living in those times. Life began before the 1990's, and if you listen to the music that's out now, I'm glad that it did.
