Does outdated and offensive language in old movies ever entirely ruin the experience for you?

Asked by rockfan (14627points) January 2nd, 2021 from iPhone

I try to watch old movies with the expectation that there’s going to be outdated language and attitudes in them, however, I just watched the classic western comedy “Destry Rides Again” starring James Stewart and Marlene Dietrich, and while I enjoyed most of it, the use of the N word in the last couple minutes ruined the film for me.

What do you think?
