How many times was a racial slur used to address a white person? If anything DJhango should say [CAC] every 90 seconds.

If it wasn't ... you really gotta consider the fact that QT is trolling us. People criticisized his usage of the word and he says to himself "Watch this ... ******" and makes the biggest movie of the year kind of STARRING the.N.word. On Christmas.

I'm torn. I will go ahead and admit that I'm with Spike to an extent. Why even toy around with serious subjects. Why not make a brilliant movie about some other shyt? I am up in the air, tho. I sort of think I have to see it before I can speak on it. Dunno.

Movie was great. I like all of the little touches that Tarantino sprinkles into his movies that each have their own backstory and movie genre connections.

Went in with a predominantly white crowd so it was interesting watching them warm up to the dialog. :lolbron:

Movie puts you through a range of emotions. Through the course of it you'll be

:russ: :whew::whoa::umad: :heh:

QT could have used the word, opted for 'shaddup black'

you have to wonder if that was intentional or it if it was an indicator that the Aussies didnt speak as harshly as the Americans

Speaking on black Rambo
In the original django film
Dude kicks open his casket and takes out a LMG and takes down like 100 guys
Taratino probably just wanted a similar scene in the film

Great movie. I'd say Sam Jackson had the best acting in the movie but everyone killed it.

I was surprised that, for QT's "spaghetti western", this felt like less of a Leone movie than IB or even Kill Bill. A lot more comedy than I expected and less stylistic nods to Leone than IB at least.


Tarantino treated this with more sensitivity than Inglorious Basterds imo.

In IB the villain was smart and witty and could be seen as cool, a lot of Tarantino villains are like this. Candie, especially with the line about "soft frenchie's" when he loves french culture, and having to be told by Stephen that he's being conned, comes off as neither smart nor a badass. He also is implied to be gay, in that his enjoyment Mandingo fighting is symbolized to be gay through the sculpture that the camera lingers on for a while at dinner and when Candie's introduced on the couch he's telling these slaves wrestling to change positions.


Schultz gives Django 1/3rd of their take even though they're supposedly partners

"Though I despise slavery, I'm going to make it work for my advantage. Having said that, I feel guilty"- Best line of the movie, change slavery to social inequality for black people and you have the mindset of a lot of "good" whites in America.

With those two things I think Tarantino was trying to point out that even supposedly "not racist", "good" white people still accept the benefits of racism.

I think it showcases 2 things
That's how sh*t was back then, in this country we live in...people acted and talked like that (and probably still do in the south)

2)its just as insulting to white people...because its embarrassing we acted like that. Its down right depressing.

I'm suprised so many people are giving Sam Jackson praise for his portrayl of a house negro...it felt very forced to me considering when I think of Sam portrayls of strong blackmale charactors come to mind and I know he was supposebly something like black militant in his younger days...Personally I think his potrayl of of a Thomas was one of the waeker performances in the film..A real Hollywood koon like Sidney Portea,James Earl Jones(if he still alive) or Taye Diggs to play Stephen...it would've done the role more justice imo.
