7:36Now Playing"The big movie coming out this week isn't a Christmas flick at all, but a spaghetti western set in the times of American slavery. Django Unchained has already garnered a lot of interest for its supposedly super-graphic violence, and now it's coming under fire from director Spike Lee. Lee is calling the film "disrespectful" to African-Americans, accusing director Quentin Tarantino of trying to whitewash and glamorize the days of slavery."*
Quentin Tarantino's latest film, "Django Unchained" has been attacked by right-wingers, but now director Spike Lee opposes it because he believes it glorifies slavery in a spaghetti western. Does the film do that? Will people who view the the film find it achieves something entirely different? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss it, and Cenk tells us how he really feels about Spike Lee.
