I think its similar to Inglorious Basterds ... which was a revenge flick wherein Jewish soldiers hunted, tortured, killed and scalped Nazis, and eventually assassinated Hitler.

My understanding is that this has a similar theme ... freed slave looking for his wife and taking revenge on slaveholders. Haven’t seen it, though, so I could be wrong.

And Kill Bill, as well as Death Proof. Revenge movies are a genre that Tarantino seems to specialize in.

I'd like to see some concrete evidence that all these tweets aren't just a bunch of moviegoers spoofing Jamie Foxx's rather silly comment about getting to kill white people.

This sounds like a macho version of The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman.
