Understanding why “Banana Joe” used the White Savior trope and why it was considered a comedy involves examining the cultural and historical context of the time when it was made, as well as the prevailing attitudes in the film industry. Here are some key factors:
Why “Banana Joe” Used the White Savior Trope
1. Cultural Norms and Perceptions:
• Historical Context: In the early 1980s, Western film industries often depicted non-Western settings through a Eurocentric lens. This perspective tended to simplify and exoticize other cultures, leading to stereotypical portrayals.
• Colonial Legacy: The colonial mindset persisted in media, often positioning Westerners as leaders or saviors in foreign lands. This was a common narrative that reflected colonial attitudes of the past.
2. Market Appeal:
• Target Audience: The primary audience for many European films, including Italian comedies like “Banana Joe,” was predominantly white. Filmmakers might have believed that featuring a white protagonist would make the film more relatable and marketable to this audience.
• Commercial Strategy: Using a popular star like Bud Spencer, who was already well-loved for his comedic roles, in a heroic narrative could attract a larger audience and ensure box office success.
3. Simplified Storytelling:
• Narrative Convenience: The White Savior trope provided a straightforward plot structure. It allowed the film to center around a single, easily identifiable hero, making the story simple and accessible to a wide audience.
• Lack of Diverse Perspectives: At the time, the film industry often lacked diverse voices in the writing and production process. This homogeneity led to a limited understanding of how such tropes could be harmful and perpetuated a narrow worldview.
Why It Was Considered Comedy
1. Comedy Conventions of the Era:
• Physical Comedy: Bud Spencer was known for his physical comedy, using his imposing presence and slapstick humor. Audiences of the time found his antics amusing, and “Banana Joe” relied heavily on this style of humor.
• Fish-Out-of-Water Scenario: The film uses the fish-out-of-water trope, placing a simple, strong character from a rural setting into a modern, bureaucratic world. This contrast was intended to create humorous situations.
2. Escapism:
• Lighthearted Entertainment: The 1980s audience often sought lighthearted, escapist entertainment. Films like “Banana Joe” offered a way to temporarily forget real-world problems through simple, feel-good stories.
• Humor in Simplicity: The character of Banana Joe, with his straightforward and naive approach to life, was meant to be endearing and humorous. His unorthodox methods for solving problems were intended to amuse audiences.
3. Changing Sensibilities:
• Evolving Standards: What was considered funny or acceptable in the past may no longer be seen the same way today. Societal values have evolved, and humor that once relied on stereotypes or simplistic narratives is now often viewed as outdated or offensive.
Modern Perspective
From a contemporary standpoint, the use of the White Savior trope in “Banana Joe” is seen as problematic because it reinforces a narrative that undermines the autonomy and capability of the local community. The comedy, which might have been lighthearted and entertaining at the time, now seems insensitive and condescending due to its reliance on outdated stereotypes.
The critical reassessment of such films is part of a broader movement to create more respectful and inclusive media. By understanding the historical context and motivations behind these creative choices, we can better appreciate the need for progress and advocate for more nuanced and diverse storytelling in the future.

😂😂😂good movie👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
This movie is so much more enjoyable than the traditional children's movies with both Spencer and Hill.
Spencer is the perfect innocent, illiterate banana farmer, the scenario is funny, and I love the chemistry between Spencer and Langner.
Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill we couldn't forget you RIP SIR 😭😔🙏👑❤❤
