90ies nostalgia

There's something nice and wholesome about movies from the '90ies. They all seem to say good things. Take "Peter's friends" for instance. It's a lovely movie about a bunch of friends who get together to celebrate new year's eve. Lots of trouble comes up to the surface, and the moral basically is: "Love each other and things will be okay. Oh, and by the way: wear condoms or you'll get aids." See, I love those good morals. Another example of this is Queer as folk. The moral there is: "Gays are awesome, but if you snort cocaine you get from strangers, you might die." Good morals.

Nowadays, people seem to make movies without these wholesome values I hold so dear. Nip Tuck for example, seems to say "Men are good, strong beings, while women are weak. Even lesbians really only long for the cock. Oh, and also, everyone would be slightly more happy if they had plastic surgery. Oh, and don't bother with ethics, snort coke instead, it's much more fun." In this anti-politically correct world we live in it's probably awesome, and I must admit part of me loves it, but another part of me longs for the good morals of the 90ies with it's agreeable set of values. Also, I think women in movies from the 90ies were generally stronger and more able.

But, to make myself feel better, I will also leave you with two images to prove why I don't miss the 1990ies too much.
