Lee recently weighed in on the Quentin Tarantino film about an American slave seeking revenge, saying in an interview, “it’s disrespectful to my ancestors, to see that film” and then tweeting, "American Slavery Was Not A Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western. It Was A Holocaust. My Ancestors Are Slaves. Stolen From Africa. I Will Honor Them."
Speaking with the Guardian, Foxx was candid in his response to Lee’s comment. "The question for me is: where's Spike Lee coming from? He didn't like Whoopi Goldberg, he doesn't like Tyler Perry, he doesn't like anybody, I think he's sort of run his course.”
Foxx added, "I mean, I respect Spike, he's a fantastic director. But he gets a little shady when he's taking shots at his colleagues without looking at the work. To me, that's irresponsible.”
"Django Unchained" has become the best box office film domestically in Tarantino's career, and with five Oscar nominations.

But omg.
Both of them were really hard for me to watch.
Survival scenarios stress me the fuck out. I spent a lot of Life of Pi thinking about what I would do if I were in Pi's situation and how thirsty I would be and how would I survive.
It was mostly the animal stuff I found hard to watch, I hate seeing animals being harmed or suffering :(
OMG same here. I hate watching movies like that because that's all I think about too and it's just depressing, idk. I haven't seen that movie and I'm kind of conflicted because it looks visually amazing but I'm nhf the plotline.
