La Liberation in response to a question about his thoughts on trigger warnings: “I reject the word ‘offended’. Anyone can be offended by anything.

Frankly, I think most of the time – and there are no doubt some exceptions – saying that you are ‘offended’ by a film is the first response of a very narrow mind. ‘I didn’t like it, and here’s why, blah blah blah…’“But, man, being offended?

Art is no offence. And, although, in rare cases, I can understand it, it’s just ridiculous to be offended by the content of a film.”Tarantino went on to expand on his own experience. “Here, there’s a movie that came out in the last ten years – I won’t name it – that really offended me,” he said.“But the more I thought about it, the more I realised that it was my problem.

My fucking problem. I found it racist. I wanted to punch the director. I still think it’s a racist movie. But it’s just a fucking movie, man.”Tarantino’s comments follow his explanation why he never kills animals in his movies.In a recent interview with Variety, the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood director spoke about where he draws the line on violence.“I have a big thing about killing animals in movies.
