ratty Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Jeez it's a great film, but overuse of the N Word makes it really difficult to watch for the whole 2 and a half hours.Is it necessary do we think?

giggirl Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 That was my take on Jackie Brown a few years back; too much use of the N word which did nothing for the film but made my ears bleed.What do we think of the Channel 4 Tarantino interview?

*Bob* Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 'Don't meet your heroes', Krish.Handled it well though. A mixture of bemusement and licking his lips with glee as he realised he was in for a noteworthy interview.

giggirl Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 It makes me wonder what was agreed in advance concerning the parameters of the interview. For example, if C4 was told in advance that violence in films was off-limits and Tarantino was subsequently ambushed, then fair play to him. Otherwise I think the question was completely valid, given how much violence there is in his movies, and his rant was childish.

StraferJack Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 it may not have been discussed beforehand, but a "valid" question, or one that has been asked in almost every interview ever since he first released a film (and impagine how many times that is)Is there a new angle he could possibly take or was it just a fairly predictable and boring questionAs it happens I thought given the amount of noise around the interview, both of them came out with some credit, and Tarantino had nothing like the meltdown I had read about Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/27991-django-unchained/#findComment-607162 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosieH Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 He sounded brattish and twattish.If it's a question he's been asked many times before, then it shouldn't have come as a surprise, and shouldn't warrant such an unfathomable response. The oddly juvenile trash talk ("I'm shutting your butt down") was embarrassing - who the hell talks like that, let alone someone who's famed for awesome dialogue?Anyway, I think he's a massive knobber, and overrated to boot. And his face makes me want to punch it. At least Hitchcock had the good grace not to try his hand at acting in his cameos.

StraferJack Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 "He sounded brattish and twattish."well, nothing new there then"oddly juvenile trash talk "dittobut I still think the whole incident is way overplayed. Maybe he expected a question like that from, say, This Morning and expected less hackneyed from C4. MaybeMost likely he had a hissy fit because like any human being sometimes the treadmill is just too much at the end of another day. he didn't storm out or anything. He just got a bit pissy.

edcam Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 It is a really good film. The N word works in context. Some great performances (except for Tarantino, who is terrible.)

*Bob* Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 The first QT film I wanted to see more than once was Reservoir Dogs. The second was Pulp Fiction. Still waiting for the third. 18 years is a long time to wait.

*Bob* Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 That's one I haven't seen, as it goes. RE hissy fit, at the time I quite enjoyed the 'bollocks to you and your crap question, Krish' approach, but on reflection, in the current climate, 'bollocks to you and your crap question - for reasons x y and z' might have been a better response. With regard to The N Word controversy, I think we have to assume that Quentin uses TNW a lot because Quentin just likes the N word.. a lot. He likes it so much, it wouldn't surprise me if choosing this genre is simply a ruse to use the N word even more. Claiming its use in the film is for authenticity? Well, I haven't seen the film yet, but I suspect, on the whole, it's not exactly going to be like some sort of authentic document of the era, is it?

Jeremy Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I've enjoyed most of his films.Not seen Deathproof or Django yet. I thought Basterds was really underrated (if slow moving). The only one that hasn't really stood up to repeated viewings for me is Kill Bill.

Fabricio the Guido Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 How you can make a film about slavery in the South and not use TNW? I re watched 'Roots" the other day and I was amazed by how kitsch it all looked. I am not sure that movie ages particularly well, and I fear like Kill Bill, Django might end up looking a bit silly. The accents certainly are. I compare it to a Tennessee Williams' play, where the southern drawl seems mercurial, switching from a whimsical playfulness to something brandished menacingly, like a knife. But I think the interesting thing is that Django, also seems derivative ( not really much of an accusation when dealing with Tarantino) of this film . Interestingly, the Mondo series faced a lot of controversy and were accused of being racists. The twist is that, Tarantino has done something very similar and some liberals are defending this work. http://youtu.be/ByhFz5e5Tnohttp://youtu.be/ByhFz5e5Tnohere is Big Daddy in a Tennesee play.

maxxi Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I liked the whole "Grindhouse" release he did with Robert Rodriguez - particularly the fake trailers like "Werewolf Women of the SS" and "Machete" (which got a life of its own when it was later made into a real exploitation genre film).Loved his explanation of Uma Thurman's dancing in PF being inspired by the ZsaZsa Gabor character in Disney's "The Aristocats".

Otta Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I'm kind of with Rosie on this one.Pulp Fiction was ace, True Romance (which he co wrote) is one of my favourite films.
