It doesn't really matter what Tarantino was "going for" or what his message was, the work should speak for itself, and that's definitely a possible interpretation. Trying to guess what an author wanted to say or meant is usually not very productive and rarely helps when analyzing works of art. We can't read minds, sometimes the author is dead, sometimes they forget or just straight up lie, etc.
Sometimes the author is an absolute buffoon who accidentally made something really smart, but that doesn't make the work he stumbled into making any worse.
This is such an important piece to remember when critiquing art. The main thing we focus on is what is meant to be said these days not what message or interpretation did we get from engaging with the art
And often it becomes this pissing. Contest of who is most right to what the artist intended that may or may not come out in later interviews and such.
