Mel Brooks is the funniest man on Earth. He is purely recognized for his comedic movies and their parody functions. Mr. Brooks recently won a medal for AFI Life Achievement Award given by the American Film Institute.
Despite the fact that Mel Brooks may be a bit Kosher about his movies, he is nonetheless pure comedic gold. In these next upcoming blogs, we will look at what might happen to the movie industry if it lost all its infamous stars based primarily on the influence of movies and technology that has warped our culture around the lives within the screens.
Now the question is simple, what would happen if Mel Brooks died in the following year or two years from now? Well there might be the occasional tribute movies to his legacy of making people laugh, but there might also be the everyday tragedy that we lost the comedic genius that gave us movies like Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.
First off, there might be a couple days or mourning for the loss of this wonderful man and his Jewish innuendos. Not only did he impact the life of our parent's generation, but he also placed an implant of comedy within the minds of young people. (If I have to ask how old you were when you saw your first Mel Brooks movie, you're definitely young enough to be Charlie Browned). Plus when you watch his movies, if you choose to watch them as a form of mourning, then you an remember the many moments your father or mother would have laughed at the parts and phrases like "More beans Mr. Taggert?", "What the hell are you doing in the bathroom all day and night, why don't you get out and give someone else a chance?", and my personal favorite "I'm so tired".
Second of all, Mel Brooks has a son named Max Brooks who recently created a movie on the Zombie Apocalyptic cult following that has happened since the Resident Evil series. The recent World War Z movie has been a direct hit since we have the ever charming Brad Pitt as the heroine of the story even though the movie is about the outbreak of a disease that can alternate and turn anyone into a zombie, very much like rabies, there might be a bigger obsession with this based solely on the fact that the director is the son of the wonderful Mel Brooks.
Third, Brooks movies would be sold in the iconic collector's edition like they did with Albert Broccoli's James Bond movies starting with Sean Connery and ending with Daniel Craig. The use of collector's edition of movies and television shows would emphasize the popularity and the influential notion of that all Bond agents are womanizers and alcoholics and all Mel Brooks movies are spin-offs of Hitchcock, Shelly, and the racist life of the Wild West which did not just make racial jokes on minority ethnic groups, but also the majority of Americans who might just be plain stupid. Sorry Mongo, your quote of philosophy might not have worked on making you any smarter.
Finally, Mel Brooks will be immortalized forever as the man who gave us funny movies whether he was part of them or not. His roles as a governor, a man who is afraid of parents (nee heights), and Rabbi Turkman who gives adult men circumcisions with a tiny guillotine. He may have some spots in his movies, but it doesn't matter about the roles he played or the movies he made, its just the memory of seeing Blazing Saddles when you were seventeen or younger and watched it with your parents who might have been scarred for life that you wanted to watch it in the first place. God Bless you Mel Brooks and keep making movies until the day you die.
