Re: The Lone Ranger

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not going to see the film for that exact reason.
Same for Django Unchained. All the comments flying around by Tarantino and others... it's just awkward.

Re: The Lone Ranger

I don't see how Django is any more or less offensive than Inglorious Basterds was and it's funny how people are more sensitive to criticism of Django than Basterds

It did have a gratuitous amount of n-bombs but so does every other Tarantino film, at least this one is historically accurate in its use of the n-word

(Oh and that Lone Ranger movie looks ridiculously racist, like would it have really killed them to choose an actual Native American actor for that role instead of Depp and then dismissing the choice by saying "oh but he's .0001% Native American so it's ok"?)

Re: The Lone Ranger

A lot of people are upset with Django because of how it uses slavery as a framing device - at least, the people I've heard being upset about it. They also seem to feel a little awkward since it's a white director whose using slavery that way.

Disclaimer: Haven't seen the movie, don't intend to because Tarantino isn't my cup of tea, so I can't comment on the actual film, just what I've heard.

Re: The Lone Ranger

You could say the same thing about Basterds and the Holocaust, I mean, I still think the whole idea of a bunch of Jewish soldiers going around killing Nazis in incredibly barbaric ways is pretty problematic. I saw Django and I saw things that could be considered problematic and I saw Spike Lee's tweet about how slavery isn't a spaghetti Western and I'm sympathetic to that, but Tarantino basically did the same thing with the Holocaust

I kind of wonder if maybe white directors shouldn't touch black history in general, I read about how Spielberg got some criticism for directing The Color Purple (though in that case it was just a book adaptation, he didn't write the original material it was based on)

Re: The Lone Ranger

I'm a little torn. On one hand? I think it's a very good idea for directors/studios/companies to reach out, and try to make sure that they aren't being offensive to a community - within reason.*

On the other? I also think it's wrong to restrict what someone is allowed to take on as far as what they write or make in a creative endeavor. I can't say anything about Bastards because, again, I didn't see it.
