"90s": Continue to establish banal stereotypes | Israel today

2022-02-20T06:33:24.771Z


The sequel to "The 80th Year" is also intended to take us back to the past and prove that it is possible to upgrade and "get out of the neighborhood", but in practice it is an old-fashioned borax film that would be more fun to watch only on Independence Day.


As borax films, folk comedies, and ethnic dramas become obsolete, they become a historical document that passes down from generation to generation common stigmas about sectors, communities, and communities as engraved in public memory.

For the most part, what sets these works apart is a pre-modern environment in which extreme figures speak that speak in a heavy accent with language distortions.

But social reality today is very sensitive, and thus banal stereotypes are mostly prevalent in period comedies.

Mom Dad, the whole hilarious introduction is meant to talk about "The 90s" - the sequel to the Asaig family.

Sure Dad, give him Dad.

Throughout five seasons, "The 80s" was a series about the Muslims and the Makhlouf, and did not hide it for a moment.

She took on neighborhood characters — shopkeeper, barber, rabbi, brat, and the like — and put on ridiculous and offensive stigmas.

Throughout it she used classically deprived humor, and adhered to the rules of the genre to the level of impossible romances between East and Ashkenazi.

In addition, the successful series written by Manny Asaig endeavored to trample on the arrogant establishment and the ruling elites, while caressing the viewer's sense of discrimination.

Manny Asaig is no longer involved in the series he created, and yet her new version, "90s", continues exactly the same line.

His place as creator and chief screenwriter was taken by Daniel Asaig, who plays his father on screen in his youth.

The plot this season: The Asaig family forces Shalom to marry his British girlfriend, with whom he does not get along, but does get pregnant.

According to the double premiere episode, which aired on Thursday, the changes are minor - the ethnic humor remains and has only become more childish and less oppressive.

What is the problem?

So here it is, Dad: Even in the new decade the characters are all exaggerated, popular caricatures in the ridiculous sense of the word.

One educates his son with the help of leather belt whips, others try to survive at all costs, and the Ashkenazi sells counterfeit cigarettes to the needy and when the business gets complicated he throws the troubles on the Mizrahi.

Sounds corny as if we are still living in the nineties and Sandy Bar and Yael Bar Zohar are competing with each other in prime time.

The "80s", and now also the "90s", were created to ridicule stereotypes and prove, through the life story of Shalom Asaig, that it is possible to leave the neighborhood, upgrade and succeed.

But the "90s" is not an upgrade, and only continues to establish old-fashioned stigmas about second Israel.
