Kill Bill Violence Draws Out Anti-Semitism
The author of the article mentioned here – Gregg Easterbrook – has been fired from ESPN over this incident. FYI, Miramax – the distributor of Kill Bill – is owned by Disney. Disney also owns ESPN.
In an article that started out simply as a complaint about the level of violence in Kill Bill and Tarantino’s lack of talent, Gregg Easterbrook of TNR manages to blame it all on the Jews.
Set aside what it says about Hollywood that today even Disney thinks what the public needs is ever-more-graphic depictions of killing the innocent as cool amusement. Disney’s CEO, Michael Eisner, is Jewish; the chief of Miramax, Harvey Weinstein, is Jewish. Yes, there are plenty of Christian and other Hollywood executives who worship money above all else, promoting for profit the adulation of violence. Does that make it right for Jewish executives to worship money above all else, by promoting for profit the adulation of violence?
[sarcasm] Yes, its all the fault of those money worshipping Jews. [/sarcasm] Nice stereotype there Easterbrook.
Well, it got bad enough that he had to issue an apology. Unfortunately for him, not everyone is buying it.

As Tarantino has said. Violence is an art form. If you hate violence go see something else. And if you thought that all Kill-Bill had was violence then you are obviously unfit to judge films seeing as before, during and after violent scenes this was a (in my opinion THE) MASTERPIECE.

I love all of MR.Tarantino’s films, I have seen then all from, From Dusk Till Dawn to Pulp Fiction and I am hoping to se Kill Bill when I get the chance. Even though I am only 15 I have seen my share of movies and MR. Tarantino is a genius when it comes to film making. I love all of his stuff and hopes he keeps making his movies.

Yeah. Actually i didn’t think kill bill was that violent – i mean sure it was violent but in a real comical/fake way that i found impossible to be shocked by. It was like starship troopers – you just have to laugh.
