Mel Brooks, in the guise of a comedy, explored and exposed many of the pressing social issues of not only that time but time immemorial. His frankness and honesty in addressing these issues were impossible under the repressed Haye's code Hollywood, and as others have noted would be impossible under the even more repressed attitudes of today's left. Political corruption, prejudice, salvation and redemption, you name it. The character of Mongo is particularly interesting, on the surface he represents the brutishness of man but recognizing this, is filled with an underlying sadness at his inability to relinquish the beast within. His one great line reveals the soul of a philosopher and sums up the condition of humanity and man's place on Earth and in the Universe - "Mongo just pawn in game of life..." Aren't we all, aren't we all... Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

Blazing Saddles is one of the funniest movies ever made, right up there with Animal House. But I think History of The World: Part One edges them both out for top spot. And yes, Madeline Kahn lends a huge contribution to every comedy she takes part in. What a talented voice, and she was pretty darned easy on the eyes as well. I saw an interview where Mel Brooks said he wanted a movie which had everything the censors/hollywood executives would not allow. He was trying to offend everyone and I think he did a great job. I must agree concerning Madeline Kahn. She has that je ne sais quoi which eludes women like Kim Kardashian.

The second laughed as hard as I did and would become my wife for 37 years.

Maybe the best of Mel Brooks! memtb You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong." -Bob Hagel “I’d like to be a good rifleman…..but, I prefer to be a good hunter”! memtb 2024
