Stereotypes in movies.
« on: December 20, 2012, 03:46:35 pm »
I watched The Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959) and at the end they (intentionally?) played into an old Scotsman stereotype.  Pat Boones character (the Scotsman) ends up naked in a tree.  When he falls out in front of a group of nuns what does he grab to cover his groin?  A sheep of course.  Won't that stereotype ever die?

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.
