Interracial?... I guess.
Ok, I saw this movie yesterday. I enjoyed it for what it was; Quentin Tarantino's attempt to make a spaghetti western. I really don't think that anyone should spend time holding the film up as an example of historical accuracy.
Was it nice to see a portrayal of a strong, empowered black man in the days of slavery?... Of course. Do I mind if white women go to see this movie and come away from it with newfound appreciation of black men? Of course not -- that would be great.
But I do have an issue with anyone asserting that this was a great "interracial" film... Actually I think that suggestion is kind of twisted. The ONLY interracial content in this movie (for the most part) was that of captive slave WOMEN being made available to white men against their will... And I'm just not sure that should be used as an example to promote the [consensual] interracial lifestyle.
