His latest film, “Django Unchained” has been making its rounds in the entertainment industry as a piece of work that features loads of gunplay, dead bodies, and cringe-inducing scenes. In other words, multiple award-winning filmmaker Quentin Tarantino latest project doesn’t really stray from his prominent style of bloody-violence-all-up-in-your-face.
However, in a recent outburst, it’s obvious that Quentin is sick of talking over and over again about the connection between big-screen violence and the real thing. The filmmaker angrily shut down Channel 4’s Krishnan Guru-Murthy attempts to get him to comment on the subject during an interview.
Krishnan apparently asked Quentin why he’s so sure there is no link between enjoying movie violence and enjoying real violence. To which Quentin replied, “I’m gonna tell you why I’m so sure? Don’t ask me a question like that. I’m not biting. I refuse your question”. When Krishnan continued to press for answers, Quentin fumed:
Because I refuse your question. I’m not your slave and you’re not my master. You can’t make me dance to your tune. I’m not a monkey. I don’t want to talk about the implications of violence. The reason I don’t want to talk about it is because I’ve said everything I have to say about it. If anyone cares what I have to say about it, they can Google me. And they can look for 20 years what I have to say but I haven’t changed my opinion one iota. And I’m shutting your butt down. I’ve said it already…I just refuse to repeat myself over and over again because you want me to for you and your show and your ratings.
