Technicolor Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Quote Quentin Tarantino has the following message for anyone upset with the graphic violence and frequent use of the N-word in his movies: “See something else.” The director had no apologies or regrets when recently asked by Chris Wallace about the backlash he often gets from viewers. Tarantino was a guest on Wallace’s HBO Max talk series “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace” and said that people who don’t like the content in his movies just shouldn’t see them, period. “You talk about being the conductor and the audience being the orchestra,” Wallace told Tarantino. “So when people say, ‘Well there’s too much violence in his movies. He uses the N-word too often.’ You say what?” “You should see [something else],” Tarantino answered. “Then see something else. If you have a problem with my movies then they aren’t the movies to go see. Apparently I’m not making them for you.” Tarantino’s use of the N-word in his screenplays has long been defended by his frequent collaborator Samuel L. Jackson, who has appeared in almost every Tarantino feature film to date. Tarantino’s critics often cite “Django Unchained” as a problem since it features the racial slur nearly 110 times.

Sheep Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 You have to see something or experience it in some form first to form criticism about it so I don’t know what not watching would accomplish at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you criticise Tarantino for the use of n-word or violence, you probably already watched some of his work, therefore experienced it tho… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its giving a musician telling critics they shouldn’t have listened in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackthorn Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I have a theory that he does all this just to hold some personal record for "most swear words in movies" or whatever... This movie was probably an excuse so he could use that word freely and contextually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeXone Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) I mean in what context was it used. I could see for a movie that’s historical like 12 years a slave but if it was used in pulp fiction or kill bill like for what reason? ehhh Edited November 22, 2022 by FreeXone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImsoLOUD Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I noticed this when I watched Pulp Fiction recently. Of course he can be insensitive towards black people and get away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venice B Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I mean... these are fictional characters. They're not real people.

A solid film, but there was def. no need for the usage of the n-word (with a hard R, no less) in that movie and even within the context it was used.

faceclef Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 As a director he has to tell the actors exactly how he wants them to say the n word so theres probably tons of footage of him saying it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlett Witch Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Yeah I just think that he could probably achieve the same effect without the slurs and get his points across in his films without all the extra, but that’s just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunUpDoneUp Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 He's hard to look at. Also what? All art is subject to objection and critique, why would someone just "watch something else" when the point of viewing is to see what works and what doesn't for the viewer? Lmao. What a thin-skinned moron, you aren't above people having a problem with what you WILLINGLY put out into the world. What an out of touch nitwit.

Bosque Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 He definitely seems very eager to use the word himself, but he made some points about how people should just stop consuming certain media that’s not for them, and especially stop posting thinkpieces on social media for attention. Fictional characters are allowed to say and do offensive things. I mean if someone watched Django and genuinely thought it had a racist message idk what to tell that person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
