ITT: Movies that couldn't be made now
>Mel Brooks making fun of Kevin Costner's Robin Hood film which had cast Morgan Freeman in a film set in medieval Europe with Dave Chapelle's Ahchoo
Whats sad is that casting black people in time periods and places they don't belong in is a standard practice these days

Since Prince of Thieves, it's like canon to have a black Muslim sidekick in it now. I'm pretty sure it would actually be considered racist if they made one now that did not.
>I posted it again
FUCK OFF WITH YOUR STALE GARBAGE REPOSTS

Why do people hate this movie exactly?
>>83383649
I never got the problem with Morgan Freeman in that movie. It's not like he was from England or any other European country
>>83384724
they're bleps
>>83384813
He's a good actor and it was an interesting character, but that helped perpetuate the myth that Moors were sub-Saharan Africans.

dude
>>83384895
well, there was an entire moorish kingdom made of slav eunuchs, so there goes nothing.
>>83383649
not casting black people would make it historically inaccurate.
>>83383649
Black people have been living in Britain since the Roman times.
>>83383649
What a fucking idiot.
>>83383649
If you can believe Robin Hood actually existing, why can't you believe black people being part of European history?

Mah dudes, you guys get it
I like Chapelle but he was the least funny part of that movie.

Britain was never racist until the whole slavery debacle. Blacks have been living here happily for 2000 years. Fuck knows what happened.
its always been a standard practice
but moors are black so yea
>>83387231
Because he was the everyman.

Moor just means Muslim, they called the Filipino Muslims fucking moors and they sure as shit weren't Arabs
>>83390441
There was no strict definition of "Moor", it was just basically anyone who wasn't a white Christian, and of course the most noted of those people were Arab Muslims.

>Fuck knows what happened.
You started letting in too many.
>>83390579
Too many radical white racists?
Yeah, those are a sad bunch of people.
>>83384670
specially because Freeman was the first one, Robin Hood never had a moor sidekick in any of the original stories so if a story were trying it's best to be authentic, they wouldn't do it.
That being said, there weren't any nigs in the Russell Crowe one, right?
>>83384724
>people hate this
literally who could hate a mel brooks movie?
