Only on the Internet is reservoir dogs and pulp fiction not considered classics. He does seem like the corny white boy trying to hard to be down with the blacks irl but to dismiss his work and to call him a closet homophobe racist is :dwillhuh:

:childplease:

name one movie that he had a Black person as the Lead, and the movie didn't any racial tones in it.

of course he's gonna cast Black people, how else would he get a pass for saying ****** 100 times a movie



Jackie Brown was filled with racial tones :patrice:

Django Unchained's "racism" was needed and it's what made the ending filled with catharsis.
:banderas:








Things I didnt/dont like about Tarantino is calling Django a slave narrative. Naw that was a full spaghetti western and it was really more about white guilt than anything.

The Dead Nikka storage scene is still uncomfortable to see.


The issue for people with Tarantino is he doesnt give a fukk so people have bad vibes about him.



I dont hear these complaints when Scorsese does it in his films.

And guess what kinda rant was in the movie by a white character :mjpls:

The Moors rant with Hopkins and Walken just screams Tarentino wrote it.


For the brehs that dont know.

The origins of that scene was created by....


a black man.

Tarantino's mom use to date strictly black guys when he was growing up (even Wilt Chamerblain). She befriended this other black guy who went on to be like his godfather.

The guy told Quentin how the moors took over sicily and changed the bloodline forever. He was telling this sicilian dude he knows that he was part black (I guess the dude was racist) and used that against him because it would go against everything he knew.

He then decided to include that scene in True Romance.

Dennis Hopper isnt saying the N word because he's racist (which I assumed when I first saw it :patrice::francis:)

He's saying it because he knows he's about to die. So the best way to fukk with a sicilian gangster is to call him something he hates or feels is inferior.

The black guy who told him that said when he watched the movie years later, "I told you that. Been saying that shyt for years" :ehh:

He gets it more from the italian anti defamation league. Definitely did when Goodfellas came out.

The sad part is I thought that was common knowledge. Reading this thread though :mindblown:

Remember when Denzel made the same exact movie with Tony Scott only substituting the train for the subway. Or was it the other way around? We were scrolling through the channels the other day and unstoppable was on and we were like is this pelham or unstoppable? :heh:

You just made me realize that those are the exact same movie. If someone do a mash up of those movie I probably couldn't tell the difference.
