We certainly don\u2019t need as many automatic weapons as there are. There should be better laws.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite his politics on guns, Tarantino admitted, &#8220;I do have a gun at home.&#8221; The interviewer asked, &#8220;A gun?&#8221; to which he said, &#8220;Yes, for protection.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The topic then turned to the gratuitous depiction of violence in Hollywood movies, which Tarantino has contributed to significantly over the years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The outlet noted, &#8220;few years ago in an interview, the father of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/uma-thurman-breaks-silence-on-harvey-weinstein-her-strained-relationship-with-quentin-tarantino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Uma Thurman<\/a> \u2014 a promoter of Tibetan Buddhism in the U.S., a friend of the Dalai Lama and a former monk \u2014 defended his cinematic work. He told me that we must distinguish between real violence and on-screen violence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The director added, &#8220;Robert [Thurman], yes. I couldn\u2019t have said it better myself. There is no real violence in the movies. We\u2019re just playing.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The interviewer then asked, &#8220;Are you tired of the debate about violence in your movies?&#8221; Tarantino wholeheartedly agreed, saying, &#8220;Yes, very much so. In fact, I hope you stop asking about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/quentin-tarantino-movies-dont-show-sex\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In another recent interview<\/a> as part of his book tour, Tarantino explained why he doesn\u2019t have nudity in his movies: &#8220;Sex is not part of my vision of cinema.&#8221; He told Spain\u2019s Spain\u2019s Diari ARA, &#8220;The truth is that, in real life, it\u2019s a pain to shoot sex scenes, everyone is very tense. And if it was already a bit problematic to do it before, now it is even more so. If there had ever been a sex scene that was essential to the story, I would have, but so far it hasn\u2019t been necessary.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><i>Additional reporting by Stephanie Giang-Paunon.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/quentin-tarantino-admits-he-owns-gun-protection-while-calling-stricter-laws\">Source &#8211;
