Re: The Lone Ranger

[(Anonymous)]

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.

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)

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.
