In theory: I don't have an issue with the premise of the movie on paper.

I didn't like this movie and felt uncomfortable watching it in the theater.

Not because the movie'a subject matter "challenged" me (or the audience)-- but because of the ways that the movie had an implicit way of banking on people's racial imaginings of the past and present.

I suppose I'd feel different about the movie if America was in a place that demonstrated that there was some kind of genuine understanding of slavery other than: "it's bad to have had slaves in the States; it's bad to treat people badly because of their skin color. It's just not right!"

Thanks but no thanks, Tarantino.

I couldn't help but think that Tarantino might be a man who imagines what Black people are like or what Black people feel like

EVEN though he's met Black folks.

Meh.
