Tarantino mom is proud of him despite he hasn't shared his wealth with her

[Guest]

I don't think anyone particularly care what he does with his own earned money, I really hope that this is a little more complicated than the example he gave of his mother scolding him for letting his writing affect his school performance. I'm sure many artists have been in that place where they were doodling in class not paying attention and the word got back to their parent who said something similar.

While I don't believe you should "owe" your parents anything for being a parent, I could not imagine holding such a view about helping out a parent due to a comment they made, especially in the context of scolding them for how their hobby was affecting their education. He could have just meant he doesn't spoil her with the riches he earned, though, and she just hasn't needed any monetary help.

If you think that is a terrible thing to say, you have no chance to survive as a child in most Asian countries lol.

Me being in Asia, it ****ing sucks. Parents (specifically my mother) is so emotionally manipulative where everything needs to be seen as her being a victim, not a mother who once pretended that her own son is her nephew so that she would look good to other people 🙃

She literally raised him. What are you talking about? 

Parents raising their own child IS THE BARE MINIMUM of being a parent.

Were you trying to quote @GucciGa??

i totally agree with his actions

if your parents didn’t believe in you, and your dreams when you were a child, they were part of the problem.

So you don't think you should be grateful to your parents for raising you and doing the best they could (no parent is perfect). Damn, this seems so harsh and to me SUPER entitled. Like fck you, you decided to have me so deal with it. That's the type of thing I expect stroppy teenagers to yell when their mom is nagging them to clean their bedroom 😁

I am an imperfect person just like anyone else but damn I'm glad I'm at a point where I can appreciate that my parents did the best they could and got me to adulthood. Yes I could sit here and point out their faults if I wanted to but ffs you have to keep things real. Bitterness gets you nowhere and Tarantino sounds like a very bitter person and frankly embarrassing to be talking like that at 60. 

 

And no I'm not talking about parents who are actually abusive or neglectful or homophobic so stop equating my comments with that sh*t.

Sounds kinda crazy, but I agree with it. Adults need to nurture their kids dreams. The adults in my life crushed every one of my dreams as a kid and teenager. I think all the about about had I been strong willed enough to continue with one of them, where I could be today. Or if any of them supported me or showed interest, where I could be. I totally understand the trauma of having adults destroy the things you dream about, your passions. It sticks with you forever

Not everyone share the same value as you do. You may not understand this concept, but no need for the name calling such as stroppy teenagers.

And it doesn't need to be kids from problematic household that does this. There are a lot of kids that come from happy family that does this too. My own brother did this and we are coming from a tight knit household. And he continue to be respectful to our parents. And still join us for family trip, with family of his own. He just don't feel like he owe anything and my parents are okay with that and stay supportive of him. The only gifts he gave was only during their big days like parents birthday, anniversary and Christmas.

Likewise, my childhood best friend who I still keep in touch with, who literally cut his parents off as soon as he became an adult. Even though they are doing well with each other. Move out of state, and never contacted them not his siblings anymore. His parents don't even know where he is now and that he is married with kids until his own wife called them secretly behind his back. He just feel like they have finished their duty as parents, they can rest now and enjoy their life without the burden of raising kids, and the rest is his own journey. And no debts owed for it. He told me once he viewed life as solitary. People come into his life, and himself to another people's life, for a reason and once that reason is fulfilled, regardless how long it takes, it's over. Since, in the end, people died alone.

Modern living is complex. Especially to ones who grew up in megapolitan cities with a lot of cultures, influences, and personal experiences that made someone what they are. Each person go through their own journey, and hence have their own understanding what life is for themselves. And doesn't always mean they are a bad person.

That's not name calling. It's a descriptor. And it's the best way I can explain how it sounds to me.

I mean... This sounds perfectly normal?

This is just sad to me. That people are so disposable to him after they have served a purpose. Clearly even his wife disagrees with his view of life.

I think this sounds incredibly petty and ridiculous of him. His mother could be a very sweet person who had a bad moment. I always thought he was a bit of a creep.

A creep? He has been one of the largest proponents for women in the industry. His female characters are strong and complex, and people that worked with him rarely have a bad thing to say. 
 

Not to mention at the height of his success he made Jackie Brown..

The Bride from Kill Bill is one of the best female characters ever, far better than Arya Stark, but I'm not so sure about his other movies

I mean all of his movies feature lingering shots of women’s feet, Uma Thurman has come out with some words against him, he was a close associate of Weinstein, some of his movies (e.g. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) have a pretty cruddy portrayal of women IMO. 

Tina Fey summed it nicely when she said he’s “the star of her sexual nightmares.”

Quentin Tarantino’s mother says she is proud of him
'Regarding my son Quentin - I support him, I'm proud of him and love him and his growing new family.' said Connie Tarantino, 75.
'It gave me great joy to dance at his wedding and receive his news upon the birth of my grandson, Leo.' 

She says the furor over her son's comments have been blown out of proportion. 
'Quentin and I both know that a sound bite on a podcast can spin and go viral without full context and can regurgitate inaccurately bolstered by slices of old interviews and assumptive past written material,'
