I'm white as fuck and this movie empowered me more than any other movie in recent memory. Django Unchained kicks ass, Tarantino kicks MAJOR ass! Nuff said.
Are you saying Tarantino is 10,000X better than Ford? If so I couldn't disagree more. I really love some Tarantino, but some of Ford is perfect. Get some balance bozo. And Tarantino is a good director, but not the brightest bulb - just the fact that he can't separate the man from the art proves that. Wagner was a damn Nazi, but his operas are no less great for it. Ford's legacy will outshine Tarantino's in my opinion. For the record we've known Ford's an asshole for decades.
Jesus fucking Christ guys, can you listen to what he really said instead of overreacting? He never said that Ford was a bad director, he said he doesn't like him as a person. Two different thinks.
I don't think his point was based on political correctness, rather on personal opinion. It isn't p.c to hate someone you perceive as racist if you personally disdain racism. It is however p.c if you do so only because racism is socially disapproved of.
I'm going through a bunch of John Ford movies right now. Just watched 5 of them and I couldn't agree more with Tarantino. His movies suck AND they're incredibly racist. He made THREE different movies about the US Cavalry killing Indians...... THREE.... Rio Grande, Fort Apache and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon.... He just LOVED the idea of killing aboriginals, man.
John Ford employed hundreds of aboriginals in his movies. All the economy of the Navajos in Utah flourished thank to Ford. He even spoke the language!!! Moreover he did a movie as a “mea culpa” against his own portrayal of Native Americans called Cheyenne Autumn. He also made the first studio Western with a leading black man called Sergeant Rutledge.
Let's see. John Ford has six Oscars ( four for directing) and Quentin has one ( for screenplay). John Ford was a difficult man to be sure but literally everyone who has worked with him ( even those he picked on) agree that he was a genius. Quentin is a great filmakers but it does bug me that he says that about Ford. Wearing a COSTUME does not make him sympathetic to the clan! That's something a child would say,assuming that actors who play villains are really nasty people. Bruce Dern made a career out of playing psychos so does that mean he's nuts too? You don't like Ford's films, fine. Just say that without slamming the guy. Again I love Quentin's work, but sometimes he says stupid things.
Sorry but Quentin is so wrong here. John Ford was simply a genius. He was a crusty,alcoholic, demanding man who still garnered such loyalty from (almost) everyone he worked with. Quentin's work is great but has way more racially provocative language and depictions( for the sake of the story) than anything Ford ever did. I always have a problem with artists who have no affection for those who came before. Yes Ford was in Birth of A Nation and that makes him a KKK sympathizer?! Then he needs to call out every actor who ever played a nazi, KKK member, and God knows what else. I sense Tara is a much nicer guy than Ford could ever be but as a director? .......not even close. I can think of at least ten directors that I would place ahead of Tarantino.
FTW666 wizard you just made my day/year. My go to western directors are Ford, Hawks, and Peckinpah. There are some others that come close like Boeticher, John Sturges and Leone but that's about it. I love Ford but sometimes I think he's overated a bit but then I rewatch his stuff and am blown away especially when it's something like Wagonmaster which is him at his most poetic.
@MAGA WITCHCRAFT 666 like paul mooney said " if god doesnt destroy hollywood he owes sodom & gamora an apology. Full of pedophiles rapists & really bad people. Kids are easy targets bc the idiot parents get hypnotized by celebrity. I thought the movie bruno where the parents agreed to absurd things for their child to do to be in a movie was actually very sad & sickening & u can see just from that how kids get molested in hollywood.
A prequel would be better. One big flaw with the film is that the flashbacks are weak and we never get to see Django suffering, so can't root for him, and the revenge aspect isn't satisfying.
Exactly. So what if he wore a Klan outfit. He was ACTING for Christ sake. You would think of all people Quentin would understand that. I guess in 20 years people can hate Leo de Caprio because he was racist in Django Unchained.
Hunter Dean Tarantino is an asshole who doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Ford was no racist. Tarantino brags that he made the first African American Western Hero but Ford did it first in 1960 with Sargent Rutledge
@@hunterdean4766 I don't think it's because Ford was acting, but rather the historical context of "Birth of a Nation". Leo is playing a racist in a movie that takes a clear stance against racism. Ford was acting in a movie which seemed to be propaganda in favor of it. Not saying I necessarily agree that it's as simplistic as that but just that I think that's where Tarantino's coming from.
Tarantino: "blah blah and all this cool shit about how i thought of the story blahblah blah" Charlie Rose: "alright, here's another clip from the movie"
I know for a fact that Tarantino loved Howard Hawks and John Wayne Movies. Weren‘t both of them far more conservative and in Wayne case just racist than Ford.
I have heard of John Fords movies. Great director, but he came from that era....Everybody loves John Wayne, but was uncomfortable with blacks being in power when asked. Im black those folks will have to answer to the Creator no doubt.
Well Walter ... In The Searchers John Wayne's character was not a racist ?? Of course not sugar pot ... He just... well... hold a little grudge towards the indians, right... jesus f***n christ ...
Am I the only one who thinks that Charlie Rose is being condescending with his line of questioning, esp about documentaries and 'Roots'? It almost feels 'racist'...not overtly, but intrinsically. sigh
Even those laughs, good grief. It seems like he was laughing just to cut the awkwardness. These two men (obviously) have very different sensibilities but this exchange is just too awkward sigh
+Isidro Garcia Funny how the lists call "The Searchers" The Greatest Western Ever Made. I saw it, and..."meh". Dialogue's awkward, the professed anti-racism is undercut by the cringeworthy treatment of the Comanches as either evil or goofballs...and aside from John Wayne's masterful portrayal of Ethan, everyone's acting is...pretty wooden. Monument Valley's awesome, and the cinematography's great...but aside from that and Wayne, "The Searchers" is pretty mediocre, I think. I do love "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", though. (And Quentin himself has recently said, much as he doesn't like Ford, he DOES like "Stagecoach" and acknowledges how important it was to cinema.)
@@Hard_Boiled_EntertainmentThe Searchers is amazing. But Liberty Valance is better imo. Also Grapes of Wrath and Long Voyage Home and the Calvary Trilogy(Fort Apache, She wore a yellow ribbon, & Rio Grande) are amazing also. And there's a dozen other classics after that. Hating ford cause he acted as a KKK member is dumb.
min 10:20 "John Ford was a racist, he started his career wearing a clan uniform in Birth of a Nation" Oh for fu&%s sake! So I take it everyone who was in the clan scene in "O Brother Where Art Thou" (Goodman,Clooney,etc) has been black listed by QT? :/
No idea if John Ford was a racist but some people have interpreted his film The Searchers as containing racial stereotypes (of Indians). All I can say is that Ford has some incredible films which, perhaps, Tarantino doesn't consider - The Informer, The Hurricane, Stagecoach, Young Mr. Lincoln, The Grapes of Wrath, How Green Was My Valley, My Darling Clementine, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, Rio Grande, The Quiet Man, The Searchers, and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.
Never been the greatest Ford fan, to be honest. Apart from The Searchers and Liberty Valance, most of his other westerns are a little too treacly for my taste, and some of them are wildly overrated. Rio Grande is a snooze-fest with out of place campfire singalongs, and My Darling Clementine is considered a masterpiece, even though its grasp on history is a little tenuous (Holliday dying at the OK Corral!!??). Other than those two films, which are genuinely great, he's a mixed bag. Give me Hawks, Mann, and Peckinpah any day!!
@@goodal01nothing a mixed bag about Ford lol. And if you're looking for historical accuracy in that era of westerns good luck. Grapes of Wrath, Liberty Valance, Long Voyage Home, Quiet Man, Informer, Young Mr Lincoln, Donovans Reef just a few entertaining classics to name. And the Calvary trilogy was thoroughly enjoyable if overly sentimental at times. Guess you don't appreciate good comedic timing and comic acting.
Uh huh.... let me know when Tarantino makes a film half as good as The Searchers. Maybe then I can take his phony criticism a little more seriously. That day will never come btw.
I love how he says in this interview (not sure what part) that he "knew he had to make this movie once he wrote that line about the north star" omg, that line is lifted directly from The Wire (2002), the third season when Santiago extracts young dealers to the Baltimore woods in order to make them to push drugs only in designated zones, and literally tells them "in case you're wondering, the north is that way", and laughs about it.
7:15 NOOOOO! WHIP! HIS! ASSSSSSS!
the best thing to do when interviewing quentin tarantino is to just let him talk
I'm white as fuck and this movie empowered me more than any other movie in recent memory. Django Unchained kicks ass, Tarantino kicks MAJOR ass! Nuff said.
This is the best comment ever
if Tarantino directed a James Bond film, the world would explode.
He wanted to do one with Pierce Brosnan but it was too late

John Ford made Sergeant Rutledge the first Black Western Hero in American cinema.

His movies were never any good, precisely because he doesn't understand humanity. They aged as badly as the films Goebbels made. He sucks.

Get ready interns Charlie's got his fly down.
Quentin Tarantino needs to watch John Ford's movies.
7:13 this is hilarious. Trantino could easily be a comedian
I'm not sure, but Tarantino's ship shoots pink colors of Charlie Rose? Huh?
I was horribly drunk when I typed that lol. I just wanted to confuse everyone (stupid joke).
10:16
"Did Peckinpah make 'The Wild Bunch'"?!! SMH
I agree with tarantino on Ford. He is overrated by critics
Ok boomer
Romba useful aa irukku🤩👍
14:28 Quentin Tarantino FARTS! Charlie Rose pauses. HILARIOUS!

George Stevens did one western, Giant!? .... are you telling me you dont know about "Shane" !?
George Stevens made Shane.
people dont be put off my John Ford because of thinking he was racist he made great movies
Quentin never said he was a bad director, he said he was a vicious human being.
+Neuroneos Yeah; he's recently said he actually likes "Stagecoach".
:)
Amen to that!!
