"A Funny Thing" - Should We Watch?

Though A Funny Thing makes inappropriate, racist, and sexists jokes throughout the movie, it knows what it is. The traditional tropes of toga movies, which are also very racist, sexist, and inappropriate, are inherently ridiculous in the modern world. The point of the film is to present these tropes in a ridiculous and comical way, taking away the seriousness of other toga movies; it's equivalent to Hollywood making fun of itself. A Funny Thing should still continue to be watched because it is not making fun of the awful history of racism and sexism for the sake of making fun of it. It is worth the watch because we relate to questioning the ethics of the previous toga films, and this movie makes fun of those for us; comedy after all is another form of coping with and understanding something in an easier way. I do think, however, a modern remake would not work in today's climate, due to a culture of reacting based on initial impressions. Our current audience is a little more removed from the prevalence of these toga movies, and I think the jokes would come off as more insensitive when removed from the context it was made in.
