Lets be real, nobody was expecting some sort of historical accuracy with this movie BUT I give him props for not sugarcoating the slavery aspect of that time period the story is set in. Which is what people were getting at when it came to the N word usage in the film.
The movie ain’t replacing Roots and I don’t think it set out to do that. At the same time, I don’t know of any Hollywood production that has really emphasized a lot of the harshness of slavery.
Woah, damn, there sure are a lot of jaded people on here, aren’t there? I’m white, so maybe I don’t get the whole ‘white people are evil even if we do the same thing’ situation, but where the fuck are the complaints when we get called crackers in films? Besides that, I saw the movie and racial slurs aside, it was amazing and another testament to how good of a producer QT is.
really?
Cry moar faggots
Qt made Catcher Freeman the movie and dudes is mad because it isn’t about white ppl and black ppl having tea parties and shit. You are the reason we don’t have Rated R movies anymore you humongous vagina.
This movie is for people to watch it and be **entertained. **You guys are looking for excuses to whine about shit if you think this movie was made for anything outside of entertainment.
It has nothing to do with pg-13 sales being far greater than R rated sales and R rate sales being far greater than N-17 sales.
Indeed it is, I know I’m not whining. I loved the punisher movie as cheesy and over the top as it was.
QT has a history for violent and unnecessary racial slur and comments… I just find it odd people can’t make a connection that something is suspect.
But what it comes down to is black or white or green, when its all said and done no one cares as long as their entertained.
WHO FUCKING CARES!
niggas crying about niggas saying nigga
nigga shut the fuck up
Well it did not take long, but it appears that this thread is going full retard. It really sucks that we cannot have a normal conversation about a goddam movie.
No surprise here
Not a fan of racial slurs myself. Glad I didn’t watch the movie today.
Was a great movie, and I would see it again.
And I’ve watched roots. It’s the same basis, but done in a different genre with a QT based plot. The N word gets tossed around by everyone now anyway yet now it’s once again a crime to say. I recall roots using the N word a shit ton of times by everyone as well. Roots creator was also sued for plagiarism; was still a good mini series though. The book was vastly better, and much more graphic(borderline Django graphic). Mandingo was another great historical black movie about a black slave that beat the shit out of other slaves, and was just as graphic(and well received as well).
I guess an accurate portrayal of Slavery isn’t for the squeamish. Maybe some one should make a movie about Nat Turner who was:
" a black preacher who led an 1831 uprising in Southampton County, Virginia in which at least 55 whites were killed by a group of about 50 slaves. Turner was a deeply religious man who claimed to have visions and directives from God. On the night of 21 August 1831 he led four other slaves (Henry, Hark, Nelson and Sam) on a murderous spree near the town of Jerusalem, killing men, women and children in their beds. By the next day his mob had grown to at least 40 or 50, but the local militia confronted and captured most of them. Turner escaped, but was eventually captured in October and tried. He was hanged and skinned 11 November 1831. Before he was executed, he described his actions to Thomas R. Gray, and “The Confessions of Nat Turner” was later widely published in newspapers. Turner’s failed rebellion led to hundreds of blacks being murdered by white vigilante mobs, and spurred a new set of strict codes that limited the activities of slaves."
Not sure how anyone would be able to sugar-coat shit like that seeing as how that was. Just like the word Nigger or Nigga. You can’t suger-coat the word. But you can’t be ignorant towards it either. It was used as a denotation when referring to a black person, and** everyone** used it(black, or white). It was also used to refer to an ignorant person(mostly toward blacks), but if you actually saw the movie " Django: Unchained " you would understand that seeing as Jamie Foxx called a white man a “Nigga” as his job pretty much made him out to be one in both denotation and ignorance.
Technically the word should’ve never been acceptable, but it’s cultural now just like any other ethnic slur with in other ethnic groups. So stop being dumb-asses over a dumb word like “nigga”, and just go watch the movie. It’s really good, and already has an 89% approval rating.
Eh, ever since Inglorious Bastards, I have had no real desire to pay to see a QT movie on the big screen. This looks like a rental to me.
I hate racial slurs, I hate how people here throw the word nigga around. But be real here, if it’s historically correct to use it, then there should be no problem.
I wonder if there are people in Germany that have an issue with WW2 movies where Nazi use bad words against Jews.
Saying that, using racial slurs for comedic value is just wrong
Spike Lee has always has an issue with Quentin. He raised the same issue when Jackie Brown came out. I don’t believe in his argument at all. The word ‘nigga’ doesn’t belong purely to black filmmakers, that’s woefully ignorant.
That said I can’t wait to check this shit out.
I was supposed to see this with my family yesterday.
Is it worth the theaters like The Hobbit, or can I just rent it?
Also, people complaining about the word “nigga”.
Nigga, grow the fuck up.
YES, there is still racism in this world, but when you see a white filmmaker with no fear using nigga, you should be okay with it, because he’s advancing racism by something odd years, not taking it back, and not using it as some “get away with it” scheme to say nigga.
The second you try to take a joke for more than it is, you’ve got a problem.
I’m pretty sure QT said to himself “okay, this is a movie set during slave times, about a slave, the word nigga is going to be used here because why the fuck would it not be?”
That’s like watching a movie about the 90’s and not expecting to see “dope” or “fly” or “fresh”.

Did…You just post a video about a white dude discussing the seriousness of nigga/nigger, AND YOU DO NOT SEE MY POINT.
IT’S LIKE THIS PLANE OF LOGIC, THIS PAPER PLANE OF LOGIC FLEW OVER YOUR HEAD.
It’s like 8 in the morning, but I think I’m warming up, please see what you just did, before paragraphs are posted.
That guy is in a completely different position from QT.
Also he sounds like a total pussy. Pretending the word doesn’t exist by not saying it is tantamount to pretending the problem doesn’t exist.
