Go home Quentin, you’re drunk on attention.
Via Daily Mail:
Quentin Tarantino considers the Confederate flag the ‘American swastika’ – and feels it is ‘about damn time’ that people questioned its place in the American South.
Tarantino’s comment was made during an interview to promote his latest film, The Hateful Eight, which is due to hit the big screen on January 8 in the UK.
The film is set a few years after the American Civil War and it puts the spotlight on strained race relations in the country.
In it, black Union soldier Major Marquis Warren, played by Samuel L Jackson, is thrown together with former Confederate soldiers, including Walton Goggins as a South Carolinian sheriff and Bruce Dern as a General.[..]
In the interview with The Telegraph, Tarantino said: ‘All of a sudden, people started talking about the Confederacy in America in a way they haven’t before. I mean, I’ve always felt the Rebel flag was some American swastika.
‘And people are starting to question about stuff like statues of Bedford Forrest [the Confederate general and Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard] in parks. Well, it’s about damn time, if you ask me.’
