One of the best and most violent movies I have ever seen is Saving Private Ryan. I do not remember anyone trying to boycott that. And it probably had the effect of making war look a lot less appealing a outcome for current events back when it came out around 1998. Saving Private Ryan*(1998) - Rotten Tomatoes

But as I mentioned earlier movies such as Saving....had a social redeeming purpose in depicting the tragedy of war and the suffering and sacrifice of our military men and women.

Whereas Tarantino's movies are just gratuitous violence and sex (ie exploiting these topics) It is just not the same in my mind.

Its the difference between Amedeo Modigliani's "Reclining Nude" and hard core pornography
