Quentin Tarantino's 'Django Unchained'

[CelticPredator]

Didn't have to be.

That's just a matter of opinion. I found Pulp Fiction to be pretty average and think his best two are IB and Django.

As far as this movie goes, it was my favourite of the year. It had a bit of everything and Waltz definitely steals the show. He was brilliant as usual. I was kinda shocked at the amount of times the N word was used but it is what it is. The only annoying part was a girl in the audience that would laugh every single time it was said.

I like all of Tarantino's big films, but I'd agree that Django and IB are my favorites as well. I really think the actors he used in the past two have really delivered great performances and have played off each other so well! I want Kill Bill to be higher on my list considering the Shaw Bros. connection and the samurai fights...but I can't deny that the dialogue and style of the last two make them more fun and intriguing to me.

Now I'm in the mood to go back and watch Basterds again and enjoy some great movie making and watch some more Waltz!

LOL...I JUST watched it.

 

[Biojex]

Just saw it. Enjoyed it quite a but. Of course Waltz was my favorite part.

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

I don't know how anybody says Waltz made this movie though. He was great (of course!), but so was Foxx (who had several of my favorite lines and segments--blue outfit, i like the way you die boy, say goodbye to Ms. Laurie, I don't know what positive means, pulling the horse on the guy, I count two guns...well you know! lol), Samuel L, and Dicaprio. In fact, DiCaprio was probably my least favorite of the four best characters and I was still very interested in him.

 

[Biojex]

I thought Dicaprio was fantastic.

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

I thought they all were. They were truly fun to watch together.

Every slave owner treated their slaves with cruelty? They all treated them with the same antipathy in the same vein of Calvin Candie?


I don't think so.



My point is, by the end of the film, Django seemed just as bad and unlikable as everyone else, white and black. Yeah, revenge story, I got it, I know it, I love it, but I'm just saying, for me, Django isn't exactly likable to me.

Bottom line...no matter how you treated your slave, they were still slaves, I don't know how you feel about it, but in my book owning another human being is just wrong...no matter how one might try to justify it....

Does this movie have a character dragging a coffin with a machine gun inside? No. Too bad. That's how I like my Django films.

My Dad and I both loathe Basterds. Differece is I wanted to give DU a chance, my Dad, who loved everything QT did up until IB won't set a foot anywhere near a Tarantino film anymore.

So...can't you go without your dad?

Or are you under 17?

I saw Django again.

I ****ed up. I misinterpreted the slave traders scene with Tarantino from my first viewing. I didn't catch that it was a bounty sheet of Django's FIRST bounty, the one he was told to keep for good luck. I thought he was telling the truth and that some of the guys back at Candie Land really were bounties.

So Django's actions in that scene are totally real and understandable. I take back what I said, he lied to them so he could get back there. Had he not mentioned the non-existent bounty, those slave traders wouldn't have let him go.


I ****ed up, Django as a character is great. I don't see how I let that slip my first viewing. It's even set up in the beginning of his bounty hunter career.






"Say goodbye" to Candie's sister is a little harsh, but it doesn't affect how I felt about Django towards the end of the film. I dig him now, great hero.

 

[CelticPredator]

^ Woot woot.

 

[DiFabio]

I don't see how I forgot about the first Bounty or Dr. schultz's words of wisdom about luck.

Guess I was excited to see how Django was going to get out of the situation he was in after the hairy shootout sequence back at candyland and just messed it up in my head.

****.

I heard this song before Unchained, but still, I was singing when I left the theater.

Also, this is a new song, and I fell in love with it.

I enjoyed the movie a lot, but thought it was strange that I think this is the first time that QT hasn't played with the narrative structure. This movie started at the beginning and went to the end. Granted he did less time manipulation with IB, but it was still there.

And I can't believe people are saying this is extra bloody - it was far tamer than KB and the kills were so cartoonish and extravagant that it almost took me out of the movie. Who knew they had hollow point rounds in 1858?

And Pulp Fiction is still his best - but KB remains my favorite.

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

I love the John Legend song. Fits the film so very well.

And I'm glad you found enjoyment out of it the 2nd time DiFabio.

 

[DiFabio]

Yeah, I don't get the criticisms about the violence.

Kill Bill seemed to have a lot more and let's not forget the scalping in Inglorious Basterds.

 

[DiFabio]

Oh I loved it the first time around too, definitely enjoyed it the first time I saw it. It was just I didn't like what Django started to turn into in the third act. I thought he was killing with extreme prejudice in the slave drivers scene.

The second time I watched it, I realized that it made sense and his reasons were justifiable (the wanted ad in his pocket). I just misinterpreted a scene, that's all.

So what was at the end of the credits? That dude that mentioned staying through the credits never responded to my question of what it was.
