I often think about Frank Capra - the fact that he came from a poor Italian immigrant family and became one of the most popular and beloved directors of his day on the back of hits that captured the pro-New Deal cultural zeitgeist of the Great Depression. And while many of those films are very good there's also a hollowness there, because Capra was actually a reactionary conservative who hated the New Deal and thought Hitler was pretty cool, but was very good at hiding it from the people around him to maintain his status. And in actuality, his predilection for these types of projects and the people he chose to work with was born out of a cynical desire to be popular and successful and capture current trends rather than any genuine feeling on his part, and he seemed to hold contempt for the audiences he was catering to. There's something very bleakly American about all of that.
Anyways I think there's a similar hollowness at the heart of Bubsy but mostly this joke came from the phrase "Mr Bubsy Goes to Washington" popping into my head in the shower and my inability to purge it
(To be clear, despite all of this, I do think there is still value in Capra's films, because he was good at capturing the zeitgeist, and there was a lot of genuine belief in the politics of these projects from the actors and the scriptwriters and other collaborators he worked with. But I do think it's important to keep in mind and grapple with when engaging with his work)
