MGR films operate within the cultural context of that time. Taming women, at the same time, mother worshipping. All within the acceptable norms of that time.

The subject of this thread isn't "acceptable norms", though, it's political *correctness*. Anyway, there were many movies of that era that were much better -- isn't it Penn that begins with Vyjanthimala whipping a man who is battering his wife? Yes, Penn is also half-baked in its way but far less nauseous than MGR movies.

It would be interesting to discuss the New Woman movies of that era, their cheerfulness is very appealing to me.
