Enjoy the Ride Way back in the 1970's a man called Mel made a movie about the law, racism, governmental corruption, sexism, animal cruelty and inappropriate table manners.
It was friggin hilarious.
We used to be able to laugh at these things, I thinks most of us with any sense still do . We understand the concept of humor.
We understand that by making fun of the things we find repugnant we lessen their importance
Brooks understood this. He was a master at tearing into our darker impulses and making them look petty and foolish , all the while making us laugh
This his masterpiece. Sit back, grab your favorite snack and enjoy the ride Blazing Saddles is a gem.
