Tarantino is practically known for his dialogue. He has 2 best oscar wins for screenplay. The journalist said nothing about her being a female character or misogyny. That's what you seem to have be inferring from the question but it was not there. MOST people including myself, thought Sharon Tate would be a big role in the film considering it was initially billed as a Manson Murder film and much noise was made about Robbie's casting. According to a review I read, Margot Robbie really doesn't have much dialogue, and even many scenes she is in she doesn't speak. It's a fair question to ask why a director renown for his dialogue and writing would make the choice to not have her character speak much in the film, especially when casting an actress of Robbie's caliber. This is such an obvious question to ask. You seem to be judging the journalist because god forbid a female journalist ask a question about a female character in the film. Press conferences or for journalists to ask questions about the film. If Tarantino does not want to be asked question about choices he made he should not be having press conferences.
If Tarantino did not answer the question the way he did nobody would be talking about it now. But instead of answering the question like a normal adult he answered it like an emotionally stunted one. Thankfully Robbie was there to redeem him. I ❤️ her.
Anyway I don't want to clog up this thread. I think I'll stop talking about it now.
