It is a shame that Comcast has cut me off from my favorite channel (TCM) temporarily because of their pc attitudes.

After a long day of political strife at the office, and an anxious commute to and fro….and then watching the evening news full of violence, hatred and death….these old classics offer soothing relief from a troubled world. However, I continue to favor these old movies for their mostly positive, happy endings and for their charm and comedic tempos without need to resort to vulgar language, blood and gore and heavy sex in order to get my attention. In summation, there is a lot that the modern generations can learn from the old classics– there is no denying that women and people of color were often treated poorly in these old movies. Joan Crawford did this in the the 1940s classic ” Mildred Pierce” and a cunning female news reporter outwitted all of the men including Cary Grant’s character another 1940s comedy classic “His Girl Friday.” Despite the condescending title (by today’s pc standards), the lead female actress (that term is also politically incorrect now!– she would be an actor in today’s gender neutral world) was really an earl break-through production about the liberation of women’s rights.

For the ladies, though classic Hollywood often cast them in subservient or sexual object roles, from time to time, some classic movies showed women breaking free of the bonds of male domination. Astaire’s “Bojangles in Harlem” routine was meant to pay great respect to the great Bill Robinson, a black dancer whom Astaire studied and learned from in achieving his own fame. There is a lot that the younger generations can learn by looking beyond the politically incorrect scenes and roles as the 21st century culture judges by….indeed, if one studies the history of Al Jolson and Fred Astaire, they would learn that black face was the only way in their day that they could pay homage to the great black song and dance performers of their day.

Yes, I find most modern movies and TV shows are offensive because they lack a moral code that existed in Hollywood entertainment prior to about the year 1965. I enjoy watching the old classics because they do not offend my sensibilities like modern movies do with cuss words, heavy blatant sex, extreme scenes of violence and deep feelings of despair. I too, as an white male baby boomer, feel the pain when I see some of the roles that the classics portrayed! However, I also know that some women and people of color will watch these movies just the same because they know that that was the way it was, but there were also many great scenes as well as many great song and dance routines in these old movies just the same. Even more embarrassing for some are a handful of classics where white men performed in black face such as Al Jolson in “The Jazz Singer* or Fred Astaire in “Swing Time.” Look, I understand their resentment toward many of these old classics– however, it was a diffeerent time with a different set of morals. Some millenials and Gen Zs even feel offended to see old movies where white males dominated all of the important leadership roles. These younger generations see little value in the politically incorrect golden age classics. The people who are now running Comcast/XFinity are mostly millenials and Gen Z’s. Yes, PC as in “politically correct.” In many of the classic Hollywood golden age movies, you will see that women and people of color were mostly treated as second class citizens. I think the real reason that TCM was pushed into the sports package for an extra $10 a month is mostly for pc reasons.
