Not that this justifies his language, but QT grew up in a very urban neighborhood. Furthermore, his mom supposedly dated Wilt Chamberlain...

Now I'm not giving QT a get out of jail free card, but I've filed this away as evidence that he isn't racist.

I thought the movie was incredible, definitely his most complete film since Pulp. Christoph Waltz is climbing my favorite actors list, because goddamn he can ACT. DiCaprio is fantastic, as always, and Foxx did really well. The story may not have been incredibly strong, but it sure as hell was entertaining. QT is in prime form again between Inglourious Basterds and this. Definitely a must see for any and all film lovers.

Quoted from leitskev

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


Same here. Caught this last night.
I was braced for some racism vibe.
But it was all in the name of entertainment, so I wasn't bothered.

Here's REALLY why the slavery/n-word dealy didn't get to me.
Because the slaves in Quentin's flick feel like HUMANS to me.
Much more so than all the white characters, save for Dr. Schultz.

Even the slave extras are EMOTING in every single shot.
They're not portrayed as inherently dumb, ignorant sure.

Django Unchained put a human face on a social blight accepted as standard then.
Besides all the n-words getting tossed around wouldn't phase me...
I've lived in Miami!
Everyone talks like that! Even white folks. :O

Finally sat down with this Oscar nominee last night.
And boy, I wasn't disappointed, at all.

This felt like one of QT's most complete narratives.
And despite a "double ending" feel for a bit, it all pays off beautifully.

I was prepared for a sub-standard performance from Foxx...
And was pleasantly surprised at how well he quietly carried the film.
When it's time for him to shine in the the third act... Django BLAZES the screen!

As for Quentin's cameo this go around...
It was the best eye roll inducing cameo that led to a mega payoff. Nuff said.

Fastest two hour and forty-five minute movie I've ever seen!
Leo chewed up the scenery and he's my fave kind of villain.
Candie's a passionate monster that takes pleasure in his wanton ways.
And a seemingly asexual soul that relishes in the details of CandieLand.
Calvin's more moved by the viciousness of men's souls than getting his rock off.
I dig it. Lots.

QT has worked his magic on me again.
And I look forward to more viewings to pick up on all his easter egg mojo.

Django, Zero Dark Thirty & Silver Linings Playbook are the best Oscar bait so far!

E.D.

Hey guys,

I watched Django a couple of days ago and thought it was great.

I haven't read all the above comments so i hope i'm not repeating anything that has already been said, though 2 things I can comment on are :-

The scene where Django is taken in the cage to be a slave at the mining camp, saw 3 men (one was tarantino i believe) all with Australian accents. This just felt out of place and I don't know why it was done that way. The Aussie accents just made it stand out like a sore thumb.

Secondly i felt even though the blood scenes where pretty graphic, I felt some of the shots did seem unrealistic and a bit overdone. Not complaining at the blood splatter etc It just made a few parts seem unprofessional.

Did love the storyline and will watch it again.

Alex

One of them was John Jarrett of Wolf Creek fame.  QT was definitely another. I can't remember the 3rd.

Basically just another cool example of filling minor roles with well known actors in cameos.

I enjoyed the movie overall (although I was disappointed). Among my biggest complaints is the dialogue; specifically when characters talk in circles and waste time. This is something that Tarantino started with Kill Bill Vol. 1 and needs to stop.

Second, he painted himself into a corner. There is no satisfying end to this movie. Everything after leaving Candieland the first time was a disaster on virually every level.

I think Tarantino dropped the ball big time with this scene. In the script, he not only explains why there're Australians in Mississippi, he ties it in with exactly why these guys would have incentive to take Django up on his offer. It's only a few lines. Tarantino would've barely spent a minute keeping them in there. In fact, the way the scene kicks off in the film feels rushed, like something's missing... because there was.

watching the interplay between DiCaprio and Sam Jackson alone is the worth the price of admission

both actors are on fire here.... and to watch two professionals spit and chew and sing Tarantino dialogue is a cinamatic treat.

Yeah, Michael Parks is the "glue" that holds the Tarantinoverse together!
He plays the same Texas Ranger in Kill Bill & From Dusk Til Dawn.
QT calls him, "the greatest living actor."

He's absolutely amazing in DTD.  That opening is one of the best in any movie, IMO.  Totally works in every way...and in many ways, made Clooney legit.

Here's QT's interview after winning the original screenplay --

http://vimeo.com/60435361


The best part was around 5:30 as he starts acting out his uncut scenes from his screenplay. This is probably how he writes his famous dialogue. Every one should read their lines out loud to see if they work or not.

Django Unchained was definitely in my top three last year. Definitely worth the read.
