It doesn't exploit slavery because it doesn't tell any glaring fallacies or support any negative stereotypes. Just saying "he's making a profit so it exploitation" is a weak argument. Movies are made to make money and if your premise is correct then people should quit making and selling movies because someone is always getting exploited. By your definition Roots exploited slavery as well. You said he should have made a documentary, well that would be exploitative as well according to you. I've never heard a claim that this movies purpose was to educate, from day one I've known the movie was made to entertain, nothing more nothing less.
How is that argument weak when it's the truth? The definition of exploit is to make use of something to one's own advantage. QT decided to make use of slavery to sell his movie. The difference between Roots and Django is that Roots is based on real life people and events. Haley spent 10 years researching his family tree to write Roots. Django is just a fictional action movie using slavery as the backdrop. The argument for the movie exploiting slavery isn't weak, it's factual. Your excuses and ignorance is what is weak. You not thinking that there are any glaring fallacies regarding slavery(which is up for debate btw) has nothing to with whether it exploits slavery or not.
I never said that QT should have made a documentary. This is Amerikkka, he's well within his rights here. What he should or shouldn't do isnt up for me to decide. You asked me how could he have done a project about slavery without exploiting it, and my answer was "by making a non-profit uncompromising documentary".
I think the dolls are in bad taste, but I think you dudes are hypocritical cause in one case you complain that QT the media or the entertainment industry didn't treat this movie the same as inglorious basterds, but on the other hand you wanna complain that this movie got the same dolls as inglorious basterds.
Stop lumping everyone that you disagree with together as if we are all saying the same things, it's weak and lazy. I haven't said one word about Inglorious b*stards. Again, you keep trying to defend Django from the truth by bringing up other shyt to try and cloud the issue. This isn't about Inglorious b*stards or any other movie, this is about Django. This isnt about whether or not you think that the dolls are in bad taste either. I'm saying that the dolls are a clear example of how the movie exploits slavery.
To me it's just a bunch of emotional complaints that have no real basis and logic and offer no advantage to black people or our struggles. The complaints are distractions and just fodder for white people to claim reverse racism.
Edit: and you also should go read up on what a blaxploitation flick is. This movie is far from that.
There's nothing emotional about stating the truth, or rational personal opinions. I'll tell you what is emotional, the way you're bending over backwards to lick boots. Your need to cape and save QT and his movie from anybody who has something not necessarily positive to say about it is very telling. It's funny how you accuse people of being illogical when it's obvious that you're about as bright as a dim light bulb. I have no choice but to question your intelligence after reading your posts. Take how you try and check me for calling Django a blaxploitation flick for example. You can't be serious.
