Obama unchained: Quentin Tarantino says the president’s ‘doesn’t-give-a-sh*t attitude’ is ‘fantastic

Obama unchained: Quentin Tarantino says the president’s ‘doesn’t-give-a-sh*t attitude’ is ‘fantastic’

Film director Quentin Tarantino said in a recent interview that he was hopeful that the “Black Lives Matter” movement would expose institutional racism, and that he loved the ‘doesn’t-give-a-sh*t attitude’ President Barack Obama had adopted this year.

In an interview published in Monday’s edition of Vulture magazine, Tarantino explained that his new movie, Hateful Eight, was different from other westerns because it dealt with the “racial aftermath” of the Civil War.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly doesn’t get into the racial conflicts of the Civil War; it’s just a thing that’s happening,” he pointed out. “My movie is about the country being torn apart by it, and the racial aftermath, six, seven, eight, ten years later.”

The Oscar-winning filmmaker said that he was “excited” that his film could be a part of the national dialog on “the issue of white supremacy.”

According to Tarantino, the racial components of his story had already been filmed before the events in Ferguson and Baltimore.

For the first time this spring - Django Unchained.

I'm now fully hooked on his sense of humor and look forward to seeing this!
