According to Katt Williams, in the movie Django Unchained...

Why is there controversy about a movie thats based on slavery where they happen to use the N-word?

Would you not want the movie to be somewhat historically accurate?

You know, your about the 10th person to enter this thread and say this.
Yet not a single person in this entire thread said "I have a problem with a slavery movie using the n-word"

Katt says he didn't take the role cuz it had "fukk you ******" written in it 147x

Tell me, what movie would need to have that said 147x?
That isn't excessive? You say slavery times? Ok, is this trying to be on the same level as say... The Passion of Christ where they REALLY tried to recapture how it was, really grinding out the hard to watch parts.They'll have Jamie Foxx tied to a tree. The slave master will be like
"fukk YOOOOOOU nikkaRRRRRRRR" then he cracks the whip?

Or is this just another action movie by Quinten Tarrantino :stopitslime:
but a film written with the help of aaron mcgruder with real black heroes honoring the tuskegee airmen


I got the soundtrack, the james brown 2pac joint is :wow:
What was you trying to say here?

That's because they shouldn't. Any word in any context is (and should be) allowed in movies.

from the sound of this thread, we'd rather see a candied up version of slavery in movies or none at all rather than seeing something at least with the authentic hate if nothing more because................................? Is it about who makes it? Do we only want to see black directors and producers make these films?

Yo're looking to QT to make a historically accurate movie about slavery? :russ:

And to my knowledge the movie is moreso about Foxx's character trying to get his wife back

1. It's not true at all. Read the script yourself if you don't believe me. The word ****** appears over 100 times (as any reasonable person would expect from a dialogue-heavy film set in Mississippi during slavery), but not "fukk you ******".

2. Katt was never offered a role. He wasn't even given an audition. The only people to audition for the character Django or speak to QT about it were Will Smith, Jamie Foxx, Idris Elba, Terrence Howard, Tyrese, and Michael K. Williams. So he's lying about that too.

Katt's funny. But don't believe any random sh*t coming out of his mouth. This dude thought Spielberg wrote the script. :rudy:

People think Tarantino gives a fukk what they say about him. Dude is stuck in his own world, but thankfully just like in his own world where he's a genius, he is one in the real world too.

Tarantino's wild ideas don't just relate to black people, they relate to people in general. So I don't understand the fuss at all. Plus he has enough "street cred" with the black community to do what he pleases. Look at his production managers from when he first came out until now, black. Dude is just crazy, not a crazy racist.

Y'all are so emotional and irrational about this whole thing. It's a fukking movie taking place during slavery, of course it's going to be used. How the fukk is a movie about a black dude killing white people racist? If you forget about the past you're doomed to repeat it.

Thats the other part, dude said Quinten puts black ppl in prominent roles :what:
Just cuz black ppl in his movies haven't been used as horses yet doesn't mean they have prominent roles. Everyone I can think of dies, is a drug dealer, a theif, is doing some kind of crime in pretty much everyone of his flicks.

That's every character in his movies though, regardless of race.

a rendition take of the Original spahgetti western. No slaves or slave massers in that one either.

It's just another Django movie. The official sequel really wasn't a spaghetti Western either. You can make a Django film set in modern times as long as you keep what makes a Django movie a Django movie

There are over like 60 of these movies that were made that had nothing at all to do with the original film, just as long as franco nero was in it, it was django
