S Jackson is an arrogant elitist jagoff, worked with him
They come out of my pen !! That's powerful 👏
Love love love Christoph!!!!!!!
Kurt Russell could have/should have played Don Jonson’s role here. Although, Don Johnson absolutely killed it as the downright racist evil bastard in Machete. That’s probably earned him his spot here.
Kerry Washington 😍
I could listen to their stories forever. What a wonderful ensemble of artists.
American people mostly devil,, Jesus America have most bad people,,,
Love Quentin. Fackthestupeidliberals.
What a great cast. This is literally a dream team.
What a movie.. omg.
It's funny how the actors can't deliver their speech without stopping and starting and uming . No rehearsal
Why does he have that blood teardrop under his eye?
5:33 KERRY PUSSY OFF YA SHAMEFUL COMMIE 😔 HATING THE TRUE AMERICAN EXPERIMENT
What is that stupid accent quentin is doing at the end. god he seems like a weirdo
i, as a black male loved how leo, qt, cw, ect reflected on slavery. America needs this type of discipline. like qt said all the other countries had their wrongs thrown in their faces but the us tries to down play it
It seems like Love and her "crew" are just throwing every and anything in a pdf pretending to forget to send everything until the last sec and getting a free pass. Also because of the slang being used and knowing that most of the ppl including the judge will not understand what's being said are giving their own definition of what's being said and allowing it to be introduced as evidence. I think they need to bring a young person into the courtroom to properly translate the slang. Lastly Love isn't a good public speaker every time she speaks she sounds like someone who forgot their glasses and can't see the words on the screen or worse yet someone who's just learning how to read and sounding out the words
I genuinely love that Jonah Hill is there despite only being in the movie for less than a minute 😄
🤣🤣🤣🤣 who was jamie's barber ?????
"Murica" will never deal with ALL of the atrocities that have been committed to pave the way for the billionaires (actually trillionaires!) and continue to be committed!
If I were an actor instead of a diesel mechanic, in todays world and had to pretend to be apart of yesterday’s history, I would have white shame and to be myself, and give the truth I would have to ask forgiveness from my co working actors to forgive me , but I believe my co working black actors looking at a white actor ashamed of what was really real in that time , would they want a fake me or portray what was actual in history , I would not want my co actors let down because of shame I had no accountability or responsibility or belief in , I would want to respect their dismay in my achievement giving them the account that was real and be respected for the justice in the parts I betrayed, surly being humble to the ignorance of mis judgement portrayed with my acting capabilities begging for respect reaching their narratives of my portrayal of something incomprehensible ,
