How is Psycho "problematic"? Because he dresses up in drag?

Newsflash, human history is problematic. At least I prefer this over censorship. I also hate that Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? is included in this. True, John Prentiss (as portrayed by Sidney Poitier) is the idealized black male character that liberal whites want to have, but it's an image that all peoples of color should aspire to. Now that interracial marriage isn't so strongly despised on, the bigger underlying issue in that movie was whether it's appropriate for a 37-year-old to marry a 23-year-old woman after having just met in ten days. How is Psycho "problematic"? Because he dresses up in drag? Yeah. Norman cross-dressing as his mother and being a serial murderer can be seen as transphobic. Some in the LGBT community have complained about Buffalo Bill's portrayal from The Silence of the Lambs. |

Didn't Psycho once catch flack for being the first movie to show a toilet?

Now Norman Bates is transgendered and exists to make transgendered people look bad?

I don't see the as problematic. They are films made during a specific time period, and anyone with any iota of common sense will understand that this is a snapshot in time, and no relevant today.
UGH!

The Four Feathers--I am guessing the "fuzzie wuzzies" is one of the things they highlight.

While an approach like this is better than censorship or outright banning, it's still stupid and silly. What happened to everyone being able to interpret films how they wish?

Hiding bodies in furniture is definitely problematic, especially using the same piece of furniture as a buffet table, i can agree with TCM on Rope.

Problematic? Films are supposed to be problematic in some way or else they're dull.

Some in the LGBT community have complained about Buffalo Bill's portrayal from The Silence of the Lambs. Stanley Kramer was in a lose-lose situation while making a ground breaking mixed marriage movie. In the first place, he faced the criticism highlighted above. On the other hand, if Poitier was not a self-sacrificing doctor but an ordinary guy who, say, worked as a mechanic or even was from the streets working his way up, then people could jump on the set-up saying that there were plenty of reasons other than race to make the parents oppose the match. What to do? What to do? I think he made the right choice.

We are truly sorry that we must warn our viewers that many over sensitive snowflakes in our society today can't understand that this classic movie was made during a different era of time when values and beliefs were different, and that it may not reflect the common values and beliefs that our society believes in today... We hope that anyone viewing this film with still be able to appreciate the film makers original intent on how this film was meant to entertain audiences at the time it was made.

I see a thread with this title, know it's gonna be you or that dude with the crosseyed alien avatar followed by 10 people being offended about people being offended, and for a moment wish I was alive at literally any other point of human history besides this Inception-level pissing match of bitching and moaning.
