Quoted from Ryan1 One interesting note about the scene where Candie smashes his glass down on the table...turns out that was real blood on Dicaprio's hand.  He gashed it wide open on the broken glass and just kept on with the scene while Jamie Foxx and Tarantino were freaking out off camera.

Yeah, I read about that.  The really funny...or scary thing, is that it was actually DiCaprio's real blood smeared all over Hilde's face.

Love it!!

No Magic Johnson rule on the set, I guess.

Wouldn't there be some moral/legal problems in DiCaprio smearing blood all over Hilde's face, without permission or prior knowledge?  I mean, that's pretty weird and dangerous.

DiCaprio was arrested and is still in an unknown jail somewhere.

Tarantino was sued by Kerry Washington.  She won and received $45 Million plus the right to star in every single QT movie from here to the end of the world.

I woulda asked for his cocaine stash and shrine to Uma Thurman's feet, but to each their own.

Not a Tarantino fan. Basterds wasn't to my liking...

But Django Unchained was great, it had its problems but the good far outweighed the bad. That skull scene was done amazingly well. Some great characters here.

I doubt people will forget about this in the next few years, it's one of QT's best IMO.

Will give a review at a later point, but if people seriously think Tarantino is a racist and using this film to channel an ironic, inverted message of racism, I'm really at a loss for words. It's plain that this film is designed to entertain but also challenge people - it's not "Birth of a Nation" redux.

page 34 in my draft

Spencer Bennett(with his Winchester), his SONS and his OVERSEERS, and some HOUSE NIGGERS, come around like a angry mob.

Why not say 'house slaves' since this is an action line description, not dialogue? This film IS designed to entertain, but anyone who thinks this film is designed to challenge people is inventing meaning where there clearly is none.

i really liked this movie... i find it to be right on par with Kill Bill and Inglourious Basterds.

does it top Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction? i dont think so
is it better than Jackie Brown and Death Proof? definetly

and for once....i thought Dreamscales take on the film and his review of it was spot on.

Quoted from leitskev page 34 in my draft Spencer Bennett(with his Winchester), his SONS and his OVERSEERS, and some HOUSE NIGGERS, come around like a angry mob.

You don't think that he may have just missed that in the heat of writing all of that in dialogue for so long? I don't think QT is a racist. I do think he loves the shock value of that word and likes to play upon it. I'm sure plenty of white people were looking around the theater whilst watching this film.

I don't think a QT draft of a script gets out into the public before being read by quite a few others. And I am very sure that if you or I had put that in our script people would raise a ruckus. Why should QT get a pass?

I see no problem with using the word for its shock value. But from the number of times it is used here it is a crystal clear...crystal...that the word is being exploited. It aroused constant reaction in the theater I was in.

I am not going to throw the word racist out there. It's a loaded word that gets thrown around too often.

QT's work is generally founded on an exploitation of violence. It's entertaining, clever, and with unmatched quality of dialogue.

Now that exploitation has been extended to race. Because we like QT and love his work, he gets a pass. But it is what it is.

Quoted from leitskev It aroused constant reaction in the theater I was in.

My point exactly. I think the whole cast was in on this.



I still think it's a brilliantly written flick, but QT wanted white people squirming in their seats.

James

No one was squirming where I was. They were laughing.

I was in a theater jam packed with blacks (and a handful of whites).  No one looked around, no one squirmed, no one groaned.  Everyone laughed hysterically - especially when

*SPOILER*

Stephen was about to get killed and delivered the best line in the move:  O dear, Lord, please give me the strength to kill this N***a.

*SPOILER*

I think it’s stupid that people get mad over the fact that QT uses the “N word.”  What’s the big deal?  It’s realistic.  Do you know how many “thugs” or “gangstas” use that word on a daily basis?  C’mon now.  Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown - black characters that you would find just about in any gangster type city - talk like that all the time.
