And I mean my entire career, from before I got started in this town. Friends on every level and every job description up until today. I\u2019m sorry I hurt any of those friends and someone that I loved.

There\u2019s all these allusions to homosexuality throughout the fucking movie,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Though Elliott referred to Jane Campion as a \u201cbrilliant director,\u201d he ultimately felt she was not the right person to direct a Western.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat the fuck does this woman \u2014 she\u2019s a brilliant director by the way, I love her work, previous work \u2014 but what the fuck does this woman from down there, New Zealand, know about the American West?,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd why in the fuck does she shoot this movie in New Zealand and call it Montana and say, \u2018This is the way it was.\u2019 That fucking rubbed me the wrong way, pal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elliott was severely criticized for his comments, with Jane Campion referring to him as a \u201clittle bitch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s really unfortunate and sad for him, because he\u2019s really hit the trifecta of misogyny and xenophobia and homophobia.
