Any Film Buffs? Re: Brady Brunch Movie

[AidsAwareness]

So I am watching this film last night and would like to focus on the talent show that the Brady Bunch win in order to save their beloved home, which is symbolism for saving what is good and noble in the world. Many would argue that the neighbor kid's band was the true victor of the contest. However, not only did this young man appear to be a little old for the youth talent search, which awarded a cash prize, but we did not get to see their entire song. We only say the end chorus that said WE ARE PHLEGM, WE ARE PHLEGM!!! As an audience it was difficult to make a decision solely on that portion of the song, though I am sure the rest of it had more substance. Now, the Brady kids displayed a masterful performance of art within sound, awarding them the top prize which was cash that allowed them to break free of adversity and remain a loving family with incestuous thoughts and potential bondage among parents, children, commonfolk (the butcher) and servants (Alice).

Any film buffs interpret this film different? Was the director trying to say that the band who sang about Phlegm was anti-semitic? Did they abuse, rape, and torture colored people and that was the reason they did not win the contest with their Phlegm song?

I asked on IMDB but they called me a faggot so I am looking for someone who really knows what they are talking about when it comes to these "Art House" dramas. Personally, I sometimes struggle to decipher hidden messages.

The sitcom was the way to go AA!

Yes but there are so many episodes to analyze that I found it better to use the film as an example of symbolism in the UNited States and throughout African Nations who suffer because of bigotry.

Great thread.

I saw the film and remember thinking it was surprisingly okay in a campy sort of way but it has been awhile and I don't remember these details.

Is this the one where the dad forces all the kids at gunpoint to play croquet on the front lawn wearing nothing but leather underwear or am I thinking of something else?

No Mudcat you are thinking of something else!!!! The dad AKA Mr. Brady is very nice and is a struggling architect...I would love to watch the motion picture you speak of about croquet at gunpoint but I wish they were wearing nothing but bicycle helmets and rollerblades, leather underwear is a big unrealistic, wouldn't you say?

Mr. Brady touches his sons but he does it out of love, not lust, otherwise it would be child abuse and Mr. Brady would have to notify the neighbors when he moved into a new community. That is NOT what goes on in this film, it is all joy especially after the antagonist suffers and the Brady family prevails.

If you rent the unrated DVD version of this classic, all your questions are answered. Not only that but the deleted three way between Marsha, Greg, and Oliver is shown in it's entirety.

Perhaps the best thread ever.
