re: #376 jaunte

That is a good point.

It was a good point.

Tarantino has hopefully thought about it. But what sort of answer is he going to give?
If he says “Yes” - he’s not helping world culture and is simply a hypocritical profiteer.
If he says “No” - there are probably calls that he’s an ignorant idiot not understanding (or very callous) about the issue.
If he goes between, or tries to be nuanced, he gets called indecisive. And also probably gets further sucked into a conversation he is not prepared to have then and there.

I think he is very image conscious about how he and his movies are presented and sold. And probably a bit of a control freak. So, if anything, part of that was his desire to keep the interview within the bounds and issues he wanted to talk about - and thus essentially under his control.
