[visp]

Yeah, his justification of "American Slavery Was Not A Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western.It Was A Holocaust. My Ancestors Are Slaves. Stolen From Africa. I Will Honor Them." seems a wee bit odd when you think about all the holocaust movies.

[(Anonymous)]

Does the guy really need to capitalize every single word?

[visp]

He's the anti e.e. cummings?

[kamino_neko]

He's making A Very Important Point.

And That Very Important Point is that Film always has to have A Very Important Point. ('Film is awesome!', which is the lesson you're generally meant to take away from a Tarantino film, is Not A Very Important Point.)

[(Anonymous)]

Even funnier when you realize that Tarentino's last film was basically exactly the same as Django but about the Holocaust. Which hey, people didn't like that either, but at least it's not like Tarentino is treating slavery with less respect than other horrific historical events.

[(Anonymous)]

To be fair they didn't really show the Holocaust like Django showed slavery.

[childings.livejournal.com]

So what, the alternative would've been to gloss over the atrocities of slavery which would've been worse.

I actually wish Django had been a bit more violent, you don't really get smacked in the face with the horror of slavery often enough (though my problem with Django is that people around me were laughing at some stuff in that film that wasn't funny and that I'm sure Tarantino didn't mean to play off as funny either)

na

...I'm kind of afraid to ask, but what scenes did they laugh at?

[thene]

It was the mandingo fight that really got to me - not just the brutality of it but the context; the fact that it was happening in some dude's living room, plus Candie's behaviour, plus the way he was treating Fred afterwards. That was all pretty horrifying.

[(Anonymous)]

Actually, some of it was meant to be humorous, so...

And yeah, Tarantino meant for them to be funny.

[(Anonymous)]

Some people generally miss the point of Tarantino's movies and laugh about things that weren't supposed to be funny (like Donny beating that German soldier to death who didn't want to give up the other soldiers in Inglourious Basterds - people in the cinema CHEERED about that, it was disgusting).

[visp]

Yanno, sometimes you want to treat subjects respectfully, and sometimes you just wanna deal by having some crazy badass motherfucker shoot people in the face.

[thene]

Because Sergio Leone wasn't revisionist at all!

/headdesk

Gee, that's funny.

[chardmonster]

Because as a person working on a fricking phD in capital h History this is the only fictional movie I've seen come out in my recent memory that treats slavery as a horrible brutal institution and not some sanitized Bad Situation That Happens To Involve Whipping that's perfectly suitable for children the worst aspects of which can be eventually overcome by bravery family and sheer niceness.

Re: Gee, that's funny.

[visp]

Yeah, at least he didn't try the "Oh, slavery wasn't so bad, everyone was all Southern-Gentlemanly about it."
