Blazing Saddles

1974 • 92 minutos

Acerca de esta película

The railroad's got to run through the town of Rock Ridge. How do you drive out the townfolk in order to steal their land? Send in the toughest gang you've got... and name a new sheriff who'll last about 24 hours. But that's not really the plot of Blazing Saddles, just the pretext. Once Mel Brooks' lunatic film that many call his best gets started, logic is lost in a blizzard of gags, jokes, quips, puns, howlers, growlers and outrageous assaults upon good taste or any taste at all. Cleavon Little as the new lawman, Gene Wilder as the wacko Waco Kid, Brooks himself as a dim-witted politico and Madeline Kahn in her Marlene Dietrich send-up that earned an Academy Award nomination all give this sagebrush saga their lunatic best. And when Blazing Saddles can't contain itself at the finale, it just proves the Old West will never be the same! MPAA Rating: R (c) 1974 Warner Bros. All Rights Reserved.

I have one thing to say to all the naysayers who don't care for this movie. "Get a life" Most comedy we see and hear today have deep roots in this movie and others of this generation. Let's remember who was involved; Richard Pryor, Mel Brooks, Harvey Korman, Gene Wilder, and others equally as great. The writing, directing, and most importantly...the comic timing of this film has been plagiarized over and over. Forty years ago this year Blazing Saddles changed so many "up-tight" conventions of the day. So, watch it again. Don't forget the popcorn, and the raisinets. Pay homage to one of the greatest comedies there ever was!

That says it all. An enjoyable use of your time with lots of UN-Political Correctness, sight gags, innuendo, irreverent references to Nazis, and a most funny use of farts, blacks, politicians, and Indians set in the old west. All written, produced, acted (Hitchcock-like cameos to the max.) by a true gentleman who lived through the Holocaust. He came through it with the ability to look back at it, make fun of it, and the ability to make you remember it by satirizing it while NEVER being disrespectful.

To be racist, the belief must be held that one race is superior to all others. This movie holds no such belief. All races, sexes, ages, and stereotypes are poked and laughed at in this flick. If you find this offensive, grow some thicker skin, shut up, and quit contributing to society's social and racial inequalities. Beyond that, have a laugh at yourself and everyone else, and laugh along with every one else.
