What shocked me about THE ROAD TO MOROCCO is the self referential post modernism , ie the characters know they`re in a film . Bob and Bing sing a song about meeting Dorothy Lamour while later Bing turns to Bob and says " Hey if we were tied up how did we get out of the sacks ? " to which Bob replies " If I told you they`d < The audience > know too " and later on a camel ( And I`m not making this up ) turns to the camera and says " This is the loopiest movie I ever did see " . I didn`t actually know that people in the 1940s went in for a post modernist approach and had always believed it was a 1960s thing . One other thing that shook me was the portrayal of Arabs which I doubt would be allowed in these PC times , it`s a very strange experience seeing a comedy at the expense of stereotypical Arabs
It`s a pity no one is allowed to poke fun at ethnic groups nowadays because I would have liked to have seen Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson in THE ROAD TO KABUL where our two heroes get involved in a Talebunnie wedding . What`s a Talebunnie Theo ? A Talebunnie is a member of the regime that used to rule Afghanistan untill a couple of years ago when an American led coalition intervened in the country and the Talebunnies hopped away like frightened rabbits
Boing Boing Boing
Don`t bomb us Mister coalition airforce . We were only obeying the will of Allah
