Despite the elements that some people may find offensive today, I still think this movie works as a sharp and very funny satire.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Is 1983’s Trading Places<\/em><\/strong> technically a Christmas movie? Probably not. Honestly, it\u2019s even less of a Christmas movie than Die Hard<\/em><\/strong>. That said, it does take place around the holidays, so I watched it with that mindset and here are my thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First and foremost, I don\u2019t think this is a movie that could be made today. The basic plot revolves around two extremely wealthy brothers, Randolph and Mortimer Duke (played by Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche), who decide to settle a bet about nature versus nurture. They deliberately destroy the life of a privileged white stockbroker, Louis Winthorpe III (Dan Aykroyd), and replace him with Billy Ray Valentine, a poor Black man played by Eddie Murphy, to see which theory wins out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Randolph believes environment shapes character, while Mortimer believes genetics do. Mortimer\u2019s worldview leads to some very<\/em> uncomfortable dialogue \u2014 most notably a line that absolutely would not fly today. Even in context, it\u2019s jarring, and modern audiences will likely find parts of this movie problematic or offensive. Back in 1983, that wasn\u2019t the case, but time has definitely changed how this material lands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I find interesting is that even the Blu-ray packaging avoids describing the actual plot. Instead, it gives a vague, feel-good summary about \u201ccomic geniuses\u201d and \u201chigh stakes.\u201d If you went into this movie blind and were particularly sensitive to older humor, you might be caught off guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, it didn\u2019t offend me. I think Trading Places<\/em><\/strong> is hilarious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cast is fantastic. Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy are both at the top of their game here, and their chemistry is excellent. Bellamy and Ameche are perfect as crotchety, out-of-touch rich guys, and Jamie Lee Curtis is great as Ophelia, the prostitute who helps Winthorpe when he hits rock bottom. Denholm Elliott is also memorable as Coleman, the loyal butler who seamlessly shifts allegiances as the social experiment unfolds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the elements that some people may find offensive today, I still think this movie works as a sharp and very funny satire. A lot of what it says about class, privilege, and the absurdity of wealthy elites still rings true. Whether you enjoy it or not will really depend on the lens you view it through \u2014 whether you can accept it as a product of its time or judge it entirely by modern standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can still watch it and enjoy it for what it is. I saw it in theaters when it first came out, and I\u2019m not looking to turn it into some grand political or racial statement. At the end of the day, it\u2019s a comedy. It\u2019s meant to be funny. So relax, don\u2019t take it too seriously, and just enjoy the ride. It\u2019s one of the best films in both Eddie Murphy\u2019s and Dan Aykroyd’s careers, and a strong entry in John Landis’ filmography, controversies aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So yes, it\u2019s an unconventional Christmas movie that isn\u2019t really a Christmas movie, and still entertaining more than 40 years later.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/i><\/i><\/i><\/i><\/i><\/span>4.0 out of 5.0 stars<\/span>4.0<\/span><\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
