Here's an interesting interview of Quentin Tarantino by Henry Louis Gates, Jr.:

1. I saw it too. It was good except for the Tarantino "signature" items.

Excessive blood spatter and explosives that detract from the drama. The de-evolution of the situation into the final confrontation was kind of illogical.

But it was still alright. I liked the story.

2. I Liked DiCaprio's Performance

I like what Dr. Gates says about Samuel L Jackson's character that he makes "Stepin Fetchit look like Malcom X."

3. I think the four principals ALL did a great job.

The movie was pretty character driven. I liked it DESPITE Tarantino and that is saying something.

6. Don Johnson Was Fine In His Cameo. Good Casting. And The Kid From "Superbad" Too...

4. Family and I are going to see it today. I think Tarantino is a fascinating person.

Before people judge him, they should go see the film, and read this article. It was outstanding!

Thanks!!!

5. I Know Spike Has A Problem With Tarantino's Use Of The N Word And His Treatment Of Black Characters

The same criticisms have been lodged at David Chase and Martin Scorcese.


I remember what I was taught in a high school creative class. It is okay, even in a high school setting, to have your characters curse, as long as the cursing is central to their character.

You can't leave that movie without knowing who the good guys are.
