If you think Quentin Tarantino overuses the N-word in his films, he thinks you should look away
"See something else," Quentin Tarantino advises critics in a new interview. "If you have a problem with my movies, then they aren’t the movies to go see."
Quentin Tarantino has faced many questions as a director—questions like “Why do you love feet so much?” and “What did you and Paul Thomas Anderson say to Fiona Apple that night?” But others that have dogged nearly his entire career relate to the high level of violence in his movies, and his extreme comfortability with using the N-word in his scripts. His response to content criticism? “See something else.”
The topic of racial slurs came up during a conversation between Tarantino and host Chris Wallace on the HBO program Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace. “You talk about being the conductor and the audience being the orchestra,” Wallace asks Tarantino in the interview (via Variety), referencing one of the director’s previous comments. “So when people say, ‘Well there’s too much violence in his movies. He uses the N-word too often.’ You say what?”
