Quentin Tarantino On Violence: 'It's Disrespectful' To Newtown Victims To Blame Hollywood Violence For Deaths:
D.W. Griffith made a film called Birth of A Nation that depicts white people in black face acting lazy and stupid. It also showed the Klu Klux Klan as well. The real Klu Klux Klan were on their way out but this film reinvigorated that hate group. Do we dig up and excoriate him for stereotyping black Americans and causing a resurgence to the KKK? Film history has its winners and losers and film is a toss salad of all things good and evil. Do we keep quite when old science fiction show men going to the moon that inspired real scientist to achieve that goal? What about the technology on Star Trek? The IPad prototype was the brainchild of a creative Gene Roddenberry that became a reality thanks to Apple. But violence has been a part of American history since the Revolutionary War. Mel Gibson made a film about it and it showed graphic scenes as well. Where was the outrage for that piece of historical reenactment? Someone will always blame whatever industry for a crime, is it rap music, is football too violent, is sex too explicit when the industry pay Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton lots of money and reward them with TV shows. Just another day in the world of America.
