In an interview that was to be created in a commercial format took a very bad turn for Quentin Tarantino and a British reporter.
According to TMZ.com, the reporter wanted to ask some questions to the Django Director which he believed was fair game but ignited into something that could only happen in Hollywood. The filmmaker was very uneasy when asked about questions as it related to the depiction of violence in his movies.
Reporter Krishnan Guru-Murthy asked Tarantino, “Why are you so sure that there’s no link between enjoying movie violence and enjoying real violence?”
That’s when Tarantino began to swell, replying, “Don’t ask me a question like that…I’m not biting…I refuse your question.”
The reporter continued pressing the director, after Tarantino tried cutting him short, asking, “Why?”
Tarantino’s following remarks raised some eyebrows as he felt that the reporter was trying to treat him like one of the characters in his movie. “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” said Tarantino.
The two went back in forth in a heated exchange for a while before the journalist decided to shift his line of questioning.
Tarantino has been experiencing some backlash from consumers regarding the slavery topic and use of the n-word in Django Unchained.
