Cant say I have seen that one, so I will take your word for it! Its tricky rewatching old shows now, societal values have changed significantly over the past couple of decades. Shows that were progressive for their time wont necessarily hold up to todays values.I try to keep that in mind when rewatching shows, as long as they werent blatently horrible for their time I can usually enjoy them.
I think it's pretty widely available with English subtitles if you're interested. There was also an American remake, but I don't know whether the portrayal was as good there, I didn't watch it.
Yeah for sure! I am pretty good at putting things in their historical context, so old media that would now be considered offensive or insensitive doesn't bother me much on a first viewing. But rewatching things a decade or more later can be eye-opening (and almost differently difficult) because I'm not prepared for it.
