Tarantino Slams Rosanna Arquette After Racial Slur Criticism...

Quentin Tarantino has hit back at actor Rosanna Arquette after she described his use of racial slurs in his movies as “racist and creepy.” In an interview with The Times UK, Arquette reflected on Tarantino's classic movie, ‘Pulp Fiction,’ in which she played the wife of Eric Stoltz’s character.  Arquette called the movie “iconic” and “great,” but said Tarantino has been given a “hall pass” when it comes to using racial slurs in his movies. In a letter obtained by Variety, Tarantino criticized Arquette for publicly bashing his film. “I hope the publicity you’re getting from 132 different media outlets writing your name and printing your picture was worth disrespecting me,” Tarantino wrote. He added that Arquette once seemed “thrilled” to be part of the film, saying that taking the job and payment before later criticizing it showed “a decided lack of class, no less honor.” This isn’t the first time Tarantino has faced criticism over the use of slurs in his films. In a 2022 interview, the director dismissed the backlash. “If you have a problem with my movies, there’s other movies to go see.”
