And sadly, what could’ve actually been a great moment in spite of the mess surrounding ending up showing the exact reason why this movie does more harm than good.
One of the many awards given was to Quentin Tarantino, who ended up winning for Best Screenplay for Django Unchained. However, the controversy ended up in an entirely new place when the too outspoken director ended up saying the very same word that’s gotten the movie into a lot of trouble in the first place.
When asked if he was ever bothered by the massive usage of that particular word during filming, he shot back:
“If somebody is out there actually saying when it comes to the word n—–, the fact that I was using it in the movie more than it was being used in the antebellum south in Mississippi, then feel free to make that case. But no one’s actually making that case. They are saying I should lie, that I should whitewash, that I should massage, and I never do that when it comes to my characters.”
Following his utterance of it, the entire press room apparently went into silence… which led to a somewhat needed relief by actor Don Cheadle, who followed after to speak on his Golden Globe win.
“Please, no n_____ questions. Black people questions are alright”, he quipped.
