I watched the first Mummy movie in fragments on TV and was shocked by it. The main characters – exclusively white people – disarm deadly traps set by dark-skinned diggers; dark-skinned townspeople with a blank, glazed expression go to wage jihad against them, and the gentlemen shoot and run them over with cars in droves; an evil, nasty character waves the Star of David in front of the mummy, and she accepts him as her slave, even paying him with gold to betray his colleagues, which he gladly agrees to (even though it's according to the Bible, it's still very bad); the female heroine is kidnapped, locked up, dragged around like a sack, forcibly kissed, and used for their purposes throughout the film; she constantly cries out to the men, "save me, help me," and in the end, the white men save her, and at the same time, save everyone else. An incredibly offensive film; they wouldn't make something like that today.
I was thinking about creating a thread for pictures, where similar explanations would be written for them, and maybe even with variations from other people, but I feel that it would quickly be filled with all sorts of garbage, like the thread with "beautiful" pictures. After all, people can't upload just one picture a week, or at least every three days.

I read a similar comment some time ago:
Ah, the late 90s. Where male protagonists were allowed to say cheesy one-liners, female protagonists were allowed to be damsels in distress, and storylines were allowed to be... you know... FUN.
Where do we go? Where do we end up when we save the world?
