well, when quentin tarantino, who is well know for his generally purient, borderline racist and morally indefenisible subject matter, decides to make a tribute to a whole genre of racist, excessively violent, sexist, morally indefensible, all- around-exploitive films... if you're trying to mount a serious critique of THAT, you are almost certainly barking up the wrong tree, one would think.
about all you could really say is that if a marquee, director such as him, with a sizable audience and obvious influence wants to draw people to this stuff, then that might be cause for concern.
but there's probably no point trying to defend his artistic choices in this matter, or not, because they are, almost by definition, in this case, indefensible.
...that said, the portrayal of stunman mike as a squealing, cowardly, punching bag when the tables are turned, could be seen as proof of some kind of pro feminist slant in the work. I think QT has a jones for tough chicks. There's not a lot of mystery to it. And it's not like they don't exist, either, cause QT goes out of his way to point out that Death Proof stars Super Tough Chick Zoe Bell as Herself. |
