“See Hollywood an’t going racist”
I am on the other side of Blazing Saddles a movie so incredibly hilarious, well-written and puts a statement about racism in old Texas although Blazing Saddles is the best comedy I’ve ever seen in recent memory the supporting cast, it’s overcrowded offensive humor builds a parody of Hollywood’s greatest intentions putting racist jokes and making a movie. The movie gets itself straight uprising some kind of absurd offensive humor both irrational and picks off references we can get costumed to in parody movies like these, With Gene Wilder’s good old performance to the movie’s clean sweep humor Blazing Saddles is what you expect from a Mel Brook’s production. Mel Brooks doesn’t want to offend African American culture but he wants freedom upon old studio movies actors don’t realize everything is fake and there inside a movie not year span universe. So Blazing Saddles craves special delicious offensive humor by using interesting dialogue as the film’s offensive message, Gene Wilder is always amazing.
The movie of course is a cooke cutter satire of Western films in general presenting sarcastic jokes and goes underneath as to how Westerns slam mistakes lighting it up, directing or show likable characters. Blazing Saddles is a political statement about African Americans not treated nicely by the local town of the old west but Bart goes too far losing interest in keeping he’s African American self from old west sheriffs and title himself first black cop did cause controversy around the old west. The production design of the old west setting is beautiful looking and defiantly looks like a old western from the 60’s and 70’s does capture an old western in particular. Cleavon Little plays a very calm Bart also had great chemistry between Gene Wilder (Jim). The movie also gives away perfect visual gags, goofs and references make what Blazing Saddles special, historical and pushes the limit of racism forward and little too off the board at points.
I love how offensive, political and bizarre Blazing Saddles’s playground of pop culture centers around giving up comedic cliches and ends up being a comedic racist movie depicting Westerns treated with the right screenplays, source material and understands levels of racism and African American culture inside the old west in general. While Gene Wilder and Cleavon Little give natural performances, Blazing Saddles remained classical, beautifully structured using satire driven gags and grabs western references until the film’s bambloozed ending which got impressive, unique and deeply hilarious at the same time. Mel Brooks created a world of reasonable remarks about racism, Hollywood standard mistakes making westerns so Mel Brooks up the anti delivering amounts of racism and offensive culture inside the movie’s old west setting. Mel Brooks knew Blazing Saddles’s offensive content sparked much controversy more than Bart’s first African American hire for sheriff the world saw Blazing Saddles’s as cruel, ambitious yet visually groundbreaking on every aspect. Mel Brook’s direction is incredible putting Blazing Saddles’s a refreshing setting with various scenery’s of offensive content and because it’s goofy we measured, Blazing Saddles’s is truly macho about racism and America going bonkers over African American culture we became dishonest about there culture that this movie was almost spectacular and bottom bomb.
The camerawork and world building of Blazing Saddles’s grew incredibly fake but that’s the thing, this movie goes for a studio production fake movie like Monty Python where every single establishing shot, production design, costumes and the sets look fake but that what makes it brilliant. Mel Brooks counterpart stadium of racism serfs new ground rules adapting Hollywood westerns onto the screen, while Hollywood dumbs down on studio marketed western movies starring huge stars you know when a western goes wrong unless a talented experienced filmmaker cares about the production, profit and story then a western goes under you belly. So Mel Brooks understood Western filmography by hand and talent sparking numerous offensiveness until your left with utter confusion or just wait until the biggest laugh of the movie stars rolling.
Blazing Saddles is a movie where satire can be your favorite sub genre in terms of characters, visual gags and how Mel Brooks crafted the looks of a western movie not flat out dump huge stars, worse production value or anything what made Millions ways to die in the west so forgettable and terrible without shooting everything like a western. In fact Blazing Saddles’s never came close punching in big stars until Gene Wilder reprises he’s role after Wily Wonka. Although Gene Wilder played a serial killer in Willy Wonka he gives the year’s laughable lines of dialogue and performance I’ve seen from he’s career.After Blazing Saddles became cinema’s recognizable, memorable and offensive movies of all time on December 25 on the same year this movie came out, Mel Brooks went onto direct another satire based on Universal’s iconic movie monsters Frankenstein with Young Frankenstein with also stars Gene Wilder and while it is much hilarious and dark then Blazing Saddles I can overall say this movie gets more than enough credit than I used to see two times.
In conclusion Blazing Saddles is nothing but old fashion satire parodying old Westerns giving it’s brilliant feel of a solid entertaining parody with Mel Brook’s wild direction spread all over the place. So in terms of performances, cinematography, editing and music Blazing Saddles worked pretty much on the same level of Monty Python crafting from that macho satire using different sources of elements about racism in old west Texas shooting every scene western organic. The movie’s memorable moments stocked to my brain like old videotape VHS from Gene Wilder’s not your alcohol type performance made Blazing Saddles it’s own personal saga not a sequel, remake, reboot, spin-off or adaptation Blazing Saddles played the genre safe not spill out genres we heard millions of times before. It was nice to see a comedic side of satire and racism including because this is such a well-written, directed parody with loads of gags and style.
