Sept 17 2007 Tarantino Broken Society 3

Strong reaction from commenters attacking me for the Echo's decision to offer tickets to Tarantino's new film as a competiton prize.

This follows on from a posting last week when I questioned whether filmakers like Quentin were helping to 'break' society (to paraphrase David Cameron).

Go to comments Sept 12 to see what they say.

I'm not convinced. Tarantino makes films about strong women, women who decry, defy and ultimately defeat violence against them.

The Rapist No 1 doll is sick and unneccesary, though. That I concede.

Were women any safer before moving pictures? At least now there's an awareness and a rejection. Are we simply trying to shoot the messenger instead of insisting on zero tolerance against the pigs who hurt women?
