Would of been a much better film without hearing the N word every second


It's like the N-word was a main character in the film. It was hard to watch and enjoy the film with the unnecessary usage of the word.It's was almost as bad as Pulp Fiction with the MF being said every other second. I get some people will say oh they said that word back in those times. Yeah sure they did a long with plenty of other ones but not to that volume. I felt it took away from the film and it's one of those Tarintino things that makes me dislike his films as a whole. He can never seem to just make a simple movie without throwing in the awkwardness that he does. It's not just this film but in his other films too where the N word just pops up in all forms of it. I can see that only appealing to people that would like to say the word in a demeaning way themselves. To the average sensible person this was an uncomfortable movie to sit through at times.

Why does it offend you so much? It's just a word. It was used as any other word in the late 1800's, why should this film be any different?

Definitely less offensive than reading "would of" instead of "would've", but I hear you.

^This. Learn grammar.

I'm a leaf on the wind. Watch as I'm needlessly impaled.

Did you watch 12 Years a Slave?

I think Tarantino shoots himself in the foot at times when he falls in love with these words and his viewers don't share the same love of those words in his movies. That is evidence of his ego getting in front of his rationalization.
