Matthew Broderick mother was from a Jewish family (from Germany and Poland).
so , where do stand on this issue? are you :
a) an offended jew
b) an offended mexican / negro
c) a white guy who wants to start a race argument and say things like "Its all gone crazy! cant say anything these days!"
and what is your own opinion of the question "Is this a racist film?"
My moneys on 'c' and 'no'
You're a person with no sense of humor/irony/absurdity/et al. Of this, I am sure.
shareYou missed out the 'anti-car lobby'.
shareAh, but Ferris didn't own the car. Cameron's dad owned the car. Is Cameron's dad Jewish? I do not believe Alan Ruck, who played Cameron, is Jewish.
shareSemantics, but yes Cameron was not Jewish. Matthew Broderick family in the film was.
shareIt's definitely NOT semantics, but a very important point.
If you claim someone 'stole from jews', then the owner turns out to be NOT a jew, you can't just call it semantics and change the subject. You have to admit you were WRONG about your WHOLE PREMISE.
Also, if it's not explicitly stated, they're not jews - at least they're not confirmed to be jews, so you are working on assumptions here - it doesn't matter what the actors are, only what the characters are. Ferris is not a 'jew character', even IF his character is meant to belong to such religion (or is it race?).
Ferris is a freedom lover and maybe manipulator, that just wants a day off. THAT is who he is, that is his identity, not any religion. He even says he doesn't think isms are good, and judaism (jewdaism?) is an ism.
It doesn't matter what objects you spy in their house or on the movie, that could be prop department doing whatever.
Also, can't a non-jew own or have objects that you think are proof of 'being a jew'? Just watch Curb your Enthusiasm to see that even a swedish lawyer can own 'jewish objects' just fine, without being a jew.
Also, isn't 'negro' a racist word anyway, and who says the character is a mexican?
Also also, isn't it racist that you pay only attention to people's (assumed) races instead of who they are as human beings, and why would 'race' matter when it comes to stealing - if you are really suggesting this movie is saying it's ok for certain races to steal from certain other races, you are insane, and a certified nutcase, besides also being hypocrite and a racist.
To add one more point, they didn't STEAL anything. Stealing is TAKING AWAY from people so they don't have something and thus suffer from loss. Copying is not stealing, borrowing is not stealing, etc.
They didn't steal the car, they 'borrowed it without consent', which is still unlawful, but at least we can get the facts straight here before starting to accuse things.
If anything, they were having FUN!
So if anything, this scene, if we look at it from a less racistic perspective, shows that - using your racial judgment - 'mexicans' and 'dark-skinned people' can have FUN and know how to enjoy life - and do it all without drugs, alcohol or anything unhealthy or harming anyone in any way!
It can be seen as sweet moment of fun in life, instead of doing anything bad.
Only a really psychotic nutcase can see THIS scene as something so twisted as 'racism against jews by saying it's OK for mexicans and the n-words to steal from jews'.
I don't even want to know HOW anyone's mind can be sick enough to produce such twisted thoughts, in my opinion, nothing any movie does is as horrible as what your post proves about how your warped mind works.
Get help.
I hate to break it to you, but if they told the police (assuming they were pulled over) they were borrowing the car 'without consent', they would have received matching bracelets.
