Mel Brooks

Does the use of "spoofing" make Mel Brooks an auteur?

item 1-
Spaceballs-I chose this as my focus film because it "spoofs" almost every scene from the original star wars trilogy and to me does show the ideas that Mel brooks spoofs such as his Jewish heritage, sci-fi(even having one scene where john hurt recreates his scene from "Alien" where the chest burster appears) and so will display that he is an auteur
item 2-
Blazing saddles- this film pulls a lot on the ideas of the western and the opinions of a small town towards a lot of things, especially blacks (which even today is serious to the point where Quentin tarantinos "Django unchained" has similar ideals) and even has several fourth wall breakages.
item 3-
Dracula: dead and loving it- once again this film takes a pre exiting story and "spoofs" it with comical tones to a fairly dark and serious story about murder and the supernatural. i find this useful as it backs up the blazing saddles approach that i need for the question.
item 4-




















item X-
Alien chest burster-scene will be used in comparison to the spaceballs scene to show the idea of the spoof and how brooks changed it to add to the comical feel of the film.
item Y-
Bram stokers Dracula-as stated Item 3 is a spoof of the Dracula story and so some comparisons may be made or shown depending on the needs of the presentation.
