Apparently she was cool with it, though.

As much as we all roll our eyes at political correctness, I have to say that it's probably good for empathy in many respects. I've seen several movies from the 1970s and 1980s in recent years where my jaw dropped at how different types of people (mostly minority people, women, and gays) were portrayed or mentioned. And this is not ancient history - this is when many of us were in high school.
That said, I'm not going to condemn the movies or say that people shouldn't watch them. They're a product of their times, and they can still be good movies. But wow, I see some scenes differently now than I did back then.
