Django was incredibly offensive, insensitive and outrageous......and I loved every minute. Loved the near totality of the slave experience captured. Brough up more aspects than "whipping" & "runaways." You could dig up an Aubrey Skinned House slave and he wouldnt be as much a coon as Samuel Jackson was.
"Nigger" wasnt used ENOUGH. More slaves should have been whipped. More families destroyed. More mental destruction and taught mistrust. Show everything or not at all. You're Tarantino if anyones going overboard & getting a pass for it it's you. Dont get mushy on me Quentin.
These kind of comments are always so striking to me. Why does he get a pass? Like seriously, in his coke-hazed way, I'm certain he's laughing all the way to the bank. Tarantino makes decent films but he is a cultural tourist of the worse kind and I wouldn't spend a single red penny on a self indulgent movie like Django. He is a one trick pony who thinks stomach churning violence likens him to Billy Wilder and Alfred Hitchcock which he has actually fixed his lips to say, and sweetheart you are certainly no Alfred Hitchcock. He's not even (hardly) Steven Spielberg.
I just cannot begin to fathom how many black people can sit and enjoy a movie about slavery that has garnered virtually universal acclaim from white folks. That should be unsettling to people on its face. He knows very well which audiences he can offend and who is the least likely to even realize they're being insulted.
