I think I remember a screenshot of some trumpette complaining that they “never noticed how full of woke leftist propaganda” that movie was. Or some other movie; according to them most movies of the past 50 years are radical leftist.
I’m pretty sure that one got hated by racists when it came out too? I mean I wasn’t born yet, but that’s what I heard.
I’m guessing Indiana Jones escaped them because the main character was white and they hadn’t started identifying as nazis yet - WWII and the whole killing nazis thing was recent enough in memory. Nazis were still considered evil. Hell I’m pretty sure they were still considered evil 10, 11 years ago. But it started changing 9-10 years ago 🤔
In The Blues Brothers, the heroes drove a bunch of nazis into a river while declaring “I hate Illinois Nazis” and nobody batted an eye. In my youth, I thought that meant their ideology had been permanently placed in the realm of the pathetic joke. I never imagined they could crawl back out from underneath their rocks like they have.
Sure, they never noticed because back then it was normal to consider Nazis as the epitome of evil. If you’re going to do a fun family movie where the hero kills a bunch of people, Nazis were fair game. It’s a chilling sign of the times, that the right wing has come to the point where they can no longer frame Nazis as the bad guys.
Imagine what kind of uproar there would be if Raiders of the Lost Ark were made today. It really is very insensitive to the feelings of Nazis

They should watch Blazing Saddles next

I wonder what changed 9-10 years ago 🤔
