I’m watching “Blazing Saddles” on AMC. They have removed the sound every time the word “nigger” is used. Not only does it break up the flow of the movie, it completely derails the social impact the movie had when it first came out.
The movie was instrumental in bringing the word out into the open and ridiculing it’s use. There are some scenes that will be classics forever.
The uncensored version (all curse words and derogatory terms are shredded) never fails to bring the knowing chuckle as well as the full scale guffaw.
Mel Brooks is a true genius.
I'm going to have to buy another copy. I left mine on the plane back from Japan.
