No movie from 1973 would be made identically today, for a buffet of sometimes good but mostly grim reasons.
I don’t know what that’s supposed to tell us. They couldn’t make Gunga Din or Birth of a Nation the same way either.
I don’t see a movie on the horizon that skewers gamergate idiots and fox news as directly as people in the seventies could make fun of the klan and racist westerns. However, a majority of movies in the seventies didn’t challenge this kind of thing at all. Most of them participated.
