A 34 year old movie addresses the social and economic inequalities in the USA, while being both funny and heart-warming, and not once feeling preachy. Thoughts?
Trading Places
Imagine
I still don't get the ending.
>back when comedies actually were funny, and not some meta poptrash referencing bullshit
I'm shocked this movie hasn't been put on some kind of index in burgerland already. Isn't this all super racist and triggering and stuff?
Kino.
uppity nigger and tranny teach a white boi all about injustice?
They swindled the stock market and left the brothers broke as fuck when they replaced the briefcase, betting they couldn't do it on the same dollar the brothers bet on them.
And this is the majority of posts in threads you'd get if the exact same movie without any changes was released today.
Smart motherfuckers. I like that kind of realism in my movies.
Premise is blank-slatism bullshit, satan.
It's pretty much a national treasure actually. Everyone loves this movie. It's good.
ABOOYAHKAH BOOYAKAH BOOYAKAH HAH
Okay. And what about Coming to America? Clearly this one is super racist, yes?
Huh? How?
Accurate depiction of 80's NYC.
+1
For starters it has segregation written all over it. Secondly: the barber shop. Thrid: we wuz kangs n shit. Do I need to go on?
>Accurate depiction of 80's NYC.
Exactly. This movie needs to be banned. We are better than this now.
Back near the end of the SNL gang's run of good movies
>Thrid: we wuz kangs n shit.
I don't get this meme. Monarchies existed in Africa before colonialism, just like the majority of the world.
I just figured out that foreigners not knowing that 80's SNL alum comedies are and were pretty family friendly might be some sort of litmus test. This shit is harmless user. Or, you know, good bait. You got me trololol.
Fucking great movie. Lots of good quotable lines too.
Society and culture have regressed. Social media was a mistake, and that's not meme-ing.
Commodities futures, not stocks.
>Duke brothers bribe someone to get advance report on orange harvest because they want to buy commodities futures in orange juice
>main characters figure this out and get a fake report into the hands of the brothers which indicates that the orange harvest will be bad
>if the orange harvest is bad, the price of orange juice will skyrocket
>brothers buy up large numbers of futures which raises the price even higher
>turns out the orange harvest was good and the futures become completely worthless
>meanwhile, the main characters have bought options that allow them to sell at a high price
>since the actual value of orange juice is now low, they make large amounts of money on the exchange
>brothers bankrupt, main characters now rich
