"Quentin has an affinity for writing horrible things and then making you laugh," Jackson says of the movie's director. "He's making entertainment. Hopefully, it makes you go ask questions and you Google it. If you want to learn something from a movie, go watch a documentary."
Sarah Silverman has also spoken out in defense of Django Unchained, while movie goers are clearly cool with the language and violence:
The film raked in $15 million on Christmas Day alone.
Lee, however, has vowed to boycott the thriller, Tweeting: "American Slavery Was Not A Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western. It Was A Holocaust. My Ancestors Are Slaves. Stolen From Africa. I Will Honor Them."
