Quentin Tarantino's 'Django Unchained'

[InspectorSpacetime]

What if you realllllllly LOVE kill bill? I wouldn't consider any movie i've seen of his bad, Death proof was his weakest but even that to me was a good movie.

I think Kill Bill and Django could both be called "Decent" in their own right. Just not great or groundbreaking. When Tarantino is at his best it's when he's doing something completely new and fresh and exciting that's not some kind of parody of something else. Django is like a parody of basterds with a sensitive issue like slavery as a ruse to use more extremely violence. Basterds was great. He capitalized on that and made Django the same way.

I came to terms when I saw Kill Bill that Tarantino will probably never make another movie like his first two. He's a different film maker now and I can't gauge his future films by Dogs and Fiction as he'll most likely never make films like those again. I actually like basterds less than kill bill but kill bill was more my speed and thought it was the better film. I still like basterds and enjoyed it quite a bit so I'm hoping Tarantino has done with the western with what he did with the WW2 subject. I haven't seen Django by the way yet.

I agree. C. Waltz makes Inglorious and Django and steals the show for sure.
I dont see Django as being cocky at all. He tells Shultz straight forward the role hes playing and that this is HIS world. He clearly playing a part. Not a likable one, but a part nonetheless.

Like many, Tarantinos best is Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.
As for Kill Bill, Im a Samuai nut, so i LOVED it and its homage to the martial arts/samurai flicks.

Django (the character, not the movie) didn't sit right

Now Hans Landa (an antagonist) and Schultz (a protagonist) I can get behind. That charisma, their style, the charm etc.

DiFabio is bat**** crazy .....

Its cool if you kill innocent Jew children as long as you are charming

Landa wasn't about the Nazi party or jews or anything, he was in it for himself.

Even funnier!

 

[DiFabio]

What, it's true!

He assists the basterds, helps kill Hitler, doesn't really care for the name everyone's given him (the jew hunter) and wants to live on Nantucket Island and have a medal of honor. He doesn't care about jews, Nazis, nobody, just himself.

THAT'S A BINGO.

Landa was likable. But Django was more badass. Therefore likable.

I like the way you hate, boy.

Interesting how you capitalize "Hitler" and "Nazis" but not "jew". And you can "get behind" Landa? Strange.

but horrible self indulgent pacing. To make a film boring is the worst sin you can commit.

Boring is in your mind...If you think bored it will be bored...

Boring is a very loose term. Afterall, most people in this thread, and from reviews, an overwhelmingly proportion of the people who have watched it, didn't seem to feel it was boring. But you are entitled to think that way..

I actually think this was his first film since Pulp Fiction that didn't have stop and bore me. For Kill Bill, the wedding/hospital scene bores me. I get it, and understand it's relevance, but I can't lie after watching it once I always want to skip it now. Inglorious Basterds had the Valkerie conversation with Mike Myers which I felt like was a snoozer in an otherwise very intriguing and creative movie. The closest scene to that in Django, and the only scene I didn't love, was the Tarantino cameo scene. But I'm glad it happened (and that the film didn't just end with the first shootout in the house) because we got to see Django come back with a plan and really show what he earned from Schultz.

Sharp eye.

Enterbay is making the figs and they look amazing

Although a memorable character, I wouldn't get leo's fig. I hope they do Dr Schultz, its the obvious companion to Django.

Stephen is a must, I hope Enterbay does him. He really was the man in charge! The power behind the throne

OH YESSSIR! I MISSUA LIKE A PIG MISSUS SLOP!

missus you like a rock in my shoe!

You saw when he dropped that cane, he dropped that old man act along with it!

I know most people are probably not interested in them here, but I'm getting all of NECA's 8'' figures. For the price of one Enterbay figure I can get 6 characters in one go in a fun Mego-style body. Mine should be with me in a couple days. Although they are (sadly) light on accessories.

 

[CelticPredator]

I appreciate Megos. But I don't like Megos. I have no need for them.
