Ok ......so the audience was laughing a lot during the Movie ......but what were they laughing at ?

Well .....they were laughing at all the Politically Incorrect stuff & Racism, we as a society are supposed to abhore

1. Dwarf jokes
2. Bullying
3. Racial Vilification
4. Foul mouth tirades

While McDonagh’s script contains a familiar carnivalesque litany of “*heads”, “funny-eyed old ladies” and “fat dentists

I haven't seen the movie yet (I do intend to), but in general yes to the bold, absolutely.

and as far as "societal standards" and the audience reaction at your viewing goes its worth noting that you're dealing with far from a random sample.

if you're just going to rag on Australian movies Wayne I'm going to have to tell you to go and see Sweet Country.

It’s funny isn’t it. A few jokes that are a bit naughty and there’s protests.

Yet show me a movie with no violence, drugs and other unsavory things.

It’s it getting that bad that fictional characters are also expected to tow the line?

Would Mad Men have gotten made today?
