I'm glad he's retiring, he's morphing into Spielberg who just makes grandpa movies now.
I didn't even bother with once upon a time in Hollywood, I'm done with the badass white savoir bullshit. White guy beats up Bruce lee was the only thing I heard about this movie that made me nope out.
Why didn't your white guy beat a badass white dude like Bronson or Norris? Why have him beat the ethnic badass if not for white supremacy
Bold take for having not seen it
There's a scene where the white hero beats up Bruce lee, that's a fact. That alone guarantees that I won't want to watch it
That's not a fact, my friend. "beat up" is certainly relative, and I would absolutely say it does not apply here. Definitely not my favorite Tarantino movie but this is not the hill to die on.
I'm not dying on a hill, I'm refusing to watch a movie. Btw Michael Jai White said the same thing I did, what was the need to have the white hero beat an ethnic legend? He could have used anyone for that scene why Lee?
Because the movie takes place on a movie set and Bruce Lee was the most prominent and best fighting actor/choreographer. You are making it all about race. You could also say why does a random stuntman beat up the most talented fighter. But the answer would be boring: because it's a movie, not based on reality and the movie wants to picture that guy as a badass.
He wrote the movie, he isn't restrained, he could have picked literally anyone. But white man must beat ugly Chinese man, so let's put down the biggest Hong Kong figure in history.
Again, even without that scene, Tarantino is just lazy now and leaning on the same mediocre actors like Brad Pitt.
But hey man, if you're ok with anti Asian racism own it, don't jump hoops to claim it isn't what it is
