Controversy mounts around Q. Tarantino
First - police organizations in the US
and still more others
called for boycott of director's new movie due for release in December.
The Hateful Eight -
or - like surely Polish distributors will translate the title -
The Magnificent Eight
It's that movie which screenplay leaked to the net some time ago
it was still made -
will have its premiere in December
But it's not about the movie but its director
Quentin Tarantino
who a few weeks ago
attended a rally of blacks against police brutality.
During the rally Tarantino made a speech
in which he said
he has to call murder murder
and murderers murderers.
All this played out but a few days
after a funeral of a black policeman
who was shot dead while chasing a black suspect in Harlem.
Police organizations in the US
responded firmly
Police organizations from New York,
New Jersey, Washington DC. Philadelphia, Chicago and Los Angeles
said they will boycott the movie set for release in December
and that they won't participate in director's future projects
Every director in Hollywood knows
making an action movie without cooperation of the police
is all but impossible
as you need permits, security etc.
Harvey Weinstein- the movie distributor
was concerned about the developments
allegedly pressed Tarantino for an apology
Tarantino's father reminded his son
the cousin of his who during similar police protests years ago
was severely injured and suffers pain to this day
Tarantino didn't apologies
He came up with a statement instead
saying he was misunderstood
he is a scapegoat
and that he didn't say ALL policemen are  murderers
In so many words -
like in a good Hollywood script
he made a 180
and turned from the attacker into a victim
My take -
All those Hollywood directors, stars and starlets
shouldn't be advocating for political and social causes
as they have no idea
how the people - they portray in the movies - live
Themselves they live in opulent houses
surrounded by swimming pools and security fences
guarded by the police.
They fly private jets
travel in their limos
and they lost touch with the lives of regular people in places like Brooklyn
They are for gun control
but use guns in their movies non stop
make money off of it.
Tarantino is worth 100M
The money made on violence, brutality
which in his movies is constantly present.
Many a times it's just one bloody mess.
Two -
Recent Tarantino movies suck.
He should learn how to make good movies first.
Since Pulp Fiction -
it was a good movie as this was a new genre
- a collection of shorts
He didn't get out beyond that.
Kill Bill - those were shorts collections
combined into one story
Tarantino as a director is unable to create
a coherent structure of a movie
as a continuous form of storytelling
It's a weakness of a screenwriter.
His movies were thus disasters.
Django Unchained was a liberal -
politically correct, racially charged crap.
in which a black cowboy kills off
any white character that's left on the screen
This is a typical liberal Hollywood bias
awarded two Oscars by liberal establishment.
And three:
Liberal thinking is always the same.
Liberal thought and minority thinking works alike.
We push majority to the wall of guilt
in this case we say  - they are the ones who use violence
while we do exactly the same -
in movies they use guns and violence
make money on the violence
and when someone points that out
calling for boycott -
they hide and say - no - it's us who are victims
we were completely misunderstood
In Tarantino's case this is typical Hollywood hypocrisy.
And lastly -
Everyone wonders
why Hollywood premiers take place on Christmas Day.
I think people there believe
instead to church people should run to movie theaters.
to make them some money.
This should be changed
Instead on Christmas Day
movies should premiere on Hanukkah
We light a candle -
and bail to the movies
to see some goddamn bloodbath.
I'm telling you like it is - Max Kolonko - New York
