Hey guys, so I'm taking this class called directing workshop and the whole point of the class is to take a scene from a film and direct it. But in a "different context" so to speak. Anyways, I chose the Sicilian scene from True Romance (Awesome movie, btw) between Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper. For those of you who haven't seen it, the scene contains a lot of profanity. However, I feel the profanity is the least of my problems. Ugh. Here. Watch.
[Mod Edit: Video removed. I don't know if it's too offensive to spoof, but we don't allow this sort of racist language here.]
So...Yeah. To make it worse my film teacher said "How would you pitch this scene to a room full of black people?" The thing is, I feel if I take the 'N word out, the scene loses its' purpose. Because the whole point is for Hopper to piss off Walken's character before he dies. I don't know what to do, should I change the script or leave it?
