Nazi AMC has slapped Martin Scorsese’s 1990 classic Goodfellas with a set warning for” social prejudices”.
” This drama includes language and/or social stereotypes that are inconsistent with today’s standards of addition and tolerance”, the caution reads,” and may annoy some people”.
To the unsophisticated, this might seem innocent, but it’s not. A fascist foreign corporation is what you have these, teaching you how to interpret and react to artwork. That’s not how craft is supposed to operate. Similar to a museum’s display of a signal that understands the Mona Lisa’s laugh on you, this is the same.
The best aspect of watching these shows, which is struggling with the conscience of what you see, is also removed by these cause instructions, which have also been used to desecrate classics like Gone with the Wind.
What I mean is this …
How it makes us responsible is one of Goodfellas ‘ some brilliant qualities. As Henry Hill ( Ray Liotta ) takes us on an outsider’s tour of mob life, we’re dazzled and intrigued. These folks are great. These men are having a fire. These guys are n’t wasting away in a cubicle, barely staying ahead of the monthly bills. They say what they want. They do what they want. They laugh and drink and play cards … What a living!
What makes Goodfellas social is what happens when everything unravels, and we discover that these are cold-blooded gangsters without any sense of loyalty or companionship who are not runaround guys breaking the rules.
Watching Goodfellas compel us to accept our involvement and teaches us a crucial lessons as our involvement blows up in our faces as the bodies swell. Henry Hill fell for the beauty and lost his mind. You and I are sucked in, but because we never leave the house, we not lose our mind.
If you are pre-warned that these are bad people and that you are told up front that this film is racist or whatever, you miss the opportunity to learn that you can support them and then betrayed by their real personalities.
The entire concept of cause warnings is totalitarian, anti-art, an affront to the user’s intelligence, and ultimately dangerous because it is through the type of moral dilemmas a movie like Goodfellas forces us to consider what we just saw that we are forced to consider. And it is only through this personal struggle and making sense of it that we develop wisdom and maturity.
Goodfellas is no trying to offend anyone. It’s a story, a training tool about how a life of gangsterism and terrible turns just to despair.
Doing the contemplating for someone else, as these lame-ass set instructions do, stifles our mental development. But that’s perhaps the entire concept.
The remaining wants a state full of vulnerable, emotionally stunted, childish babies. They are much more difficult to control than those of us who exercise our judgment.
And indeed, these kinds of set warnings are quite different from articles warnings about sex, violence, and shouting. Material instructions are no judgmental. Trigger instructions justice and judging is our — the visitors ‘ — work, not the work of Hollywood’s fascist and condescending elites.
