I thought Goodbye, Dragon Inn was a movie about some kid’s love for the original film? I guess it’s something else? I was planning to watch it soon. Both Dragon Inn and Goodbye, Dragon Inn are on Kanopy, at least for me (I think the available titles are somehow dependant on your library system).

Lol that wasn’t really my takeaway from it, but I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it 🙂

it doesn’t seem like you’re going to be able to neatly unpack the relationship between parodies of racist ideas through caricature, racist caricatures done as shock humor or as expressions of general shit-on-everyone misanthropy

interesting, I can see that. I do feel like I remember reading an interview or something where he said he hates everyone equally or something like that

Early in the movie he says something to the effect that he only feels good about humanity when he’s listening to old 78s of pre-war blues

Those are awesome! Interesting find!
