"It's iconic, a great film on a lot of levels. But personally I am over the use of the N-word - I hate it. I cannot stand that [Tarantino] has been given a hall pass. It's not art, it's just racist and creepy."
"I have a definite problem with Quentin Tarantino's excessive use of the N-word. And let the record state that I never said that he cannot use that word - I've used that word in many of my films - but I think something is wrong with him."
Rosanna Arquette, who appeared in Pulp Fiction, has publicly criticized director Quentin Tarantino's extensive use of the N-word in his films. While acknowledging Pulp Fiction as an iconic and great film, Arquette expressed her personal opposition to the racial slur's usage, stating she cannot stand that Tarantino has been given what she calls a "hall pass" for this language. She characterizes the usage as racist and creepy rather than legitimate artistic expression. The N-word appears 20 times in Pulp Fiction, which won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Tarantino's use of racial slurs has faced previous criticism, notably from filmmaker Spike Lee regarding Django Unchained, which contains over 110 instances of the word. However, actor Samuel L. Jackson has defended Tarantino's artistic choices.
