Django! Anyone seen it yet? *No Spoilers Please*
 

D!J!A!N!G!O! The D is silent!

Anyone seen this movie yet? What did you think? I saw a preview for this movie a few months back and I've been waiting to see it since. I have read some really good reviews and I've heard some really bad one. On the local NBC news station the critic said if he wasn't paid to watch movies he would have walked out. Said that Leo's character and the overall theme of the movie was way to racist to find any enjoyment from this movie.

Without giving anything away about the movie and any possible surprises, what did you think? I plan on seeing it this weekend.

I saw the preview and I wouldn't watch it for free. Was there anything that seemed even remotely interesting?

I can understand how it wouldn't appeal to all. I like most of Tarantino's movies. The cast is really good. Just looked like an interesting flick.

Just saw this today.

Outfuckingstanding. Tarantino has out done himself.

I am thinking Jamie Fox gets the nomination for best actor and Christop Waltz, Samuel Jackson and Leonardo DiCaprio all did jobs worthy of best supporting. And just for reference I typically do NOT like Leonardo DiCaprio.

I will not go into detail so I don't do any spoilers but I think this is well worth seeing and you do not have to like Quentin Tarantino stuff to like this :thumbsup

.

Hollywood isn't much more than a propaganda machine...

I thought it was much better then Inglourious Basterds. I can't wait to watch it again.

I think anyone who had a real problem with the portrayal of racism in the South circa 1800's probably should take look at themselves -- and maybe wonder why they feel so guilty.

I know the Nword was used like 100 times, and it did seem like a little much, but supposedly "that's how they talked back then". But Tarantino seemed to be trying to get away with something. I feel like the word would have had more power if it was used in specific spots more sparingly, as opposed to being "ni&^@r this and n^&$r that" constantly.

There was black couple sitting next to my wife and I, and we all laughed together in the same spots -- and we all cheered a little when the "evil white people" got blown away epically with fountains of blood, because they were the bad guys. A movie isn't racist just because it shows racism. The racist people get what's coming to them, so that sounds like its opposite of racist to me.

I don't think its a spoiler to say that a black guy shoots big holes in lots of white people in this movie.

not yet ,hoping it will live up to hype.

I saw it last week , enjoyed it.......... I was apprehensive in going because its like 2.45 mins long , but time flew by. Will watch it again, when it comes out on vid:thumbsup

That's the point. It did not have the power back then that it did today. It was the word that was used by racists and non-racist alike.

Read some of Mark Twain and other writers of the times writings. They reflect the dialogue of the times and they include the "N" word all over the place.

I do not think that Tarantino was trying to get away with anything in that regard. I do think that he was trying to give an accurate depiction of southern attitude of the time as a backdrop to the story.

And I agree with skrog above that this surpassed Bastards :thumbsup

My wife did not go with me and my son to see it today but I convinced her that she will like it so I will probably be seeing it again sometime in the next couple of days.

.

there you have it. you have the green light to see it. :pimp

AWESOME fucking movie

Saw it last weekend. Will most likely watch it again this weekend.

Looking forward to watching the Django movie on Sunday.

I saw it on Christmas day. Another modern globalist movie to demonize white people.
That's the method of the globalists to create social dysfunction.

It's a great movie but if you look at it perspective of the motive of our owners, it's propaganda.

Well of course it is, you have Durango in your nick.

Can't a movie just be a movie anymore?

Will-watch-once ...

haven't seen it, but i liked the boondocks cartoon version told in rashomon style. hard to top aaron's work:

i will enjoy the movie no mater what

Tarantino draws a lot of his influence from those 70's grindhouse exploitation flicks where everything is blown way out of proportion, that's where the gratuitous use of violence, profanity, etc. in his movies comes from. I guess what he did with this one was rip the title and characterization for his protagonist from the original Spaghetti Western "Django"(vigilante anti-hero) and remade it in the style of a blaxploitation film like this one:

combined with this:

And you got the basic premise for this new one. That's what it seems like at least, I haven't seen it yet.

I don't know, he does use the word a lot. Matter of fact, he got into a spat with Spike Lee over it after "Jackie Brown" came out, and now Lee is pissed about this movie, too - he's boycotting it apparently. Spike Lee took offense to what he saw as an "obsession" on Tarantino's part with the word, especially since it was coming from a white director, which - fuck Spike Lee, that little hypocritical race-baiting jerkoff.

Spike Lee's had an "obsession" with Italians ever since he started making movies, probably stemming from the assbeatings he took as a kid growing up in an Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn. That motherfucker never misses a chance to "get back" at us, either by stereotyping Italians as dumb racist violent degenerates, or injecting some kind of fucking Afrocentric pseudoscience into Italian heritage and ancestry: "You know Italians got black in them", or by casting an Italian girl to play the whorish, homewrecking secretary fiending for Wesley Snipes' coal-black cock, or completely distorting the events surrounding the WW2 battle at Sant'Anna to make it seem as though the Italians collaborated with the Nazis, which he knows is complete bullshit yet still refuses to acknowledge let alone apologize for - fuck Spike Lee.

Then Lee's got the balls to tweet "Birth Of A Nation Got Black Folks Lynched. Media Is Powerful. DON'T SLEEP. WAKE UP YO." as a response to the release of "Django", then said some shit about how it's disrespectful to his ancestors. This is the same motherfucker who scoffed at journalists suggesting that the final scene in "Do The Right Thing" might incite black people to riot, the same motherfucker who has no respect for other ethnic group's history - fuck Spike Lee.

Anyway... Tarantino does use the "N" word a lot in his films, but who gives a shit?

have you ever thought lee and tarantino are in cahoots as directors. each one spinning each others shine for more press/publicity. fuck, dont you people make movies for a living too?

Don't know. I didn't make it, ask the producers.

Surprised no one has mentioned the Illuminati yet

Someone did towards the top of the page.

Tarantino's movies are brilliant but his trailers are put together like shit.

Great movie

Christopher Waltz is a fucking massive actor.

Tarantino hasn't been relevant in years, and to say his movie is Oscar-worthy is just laughable.

Inglorius Basterds was absolute crap. I haven't seen Django yet, but everything I'm reading indicates that I won't like it.

Yeah, he was great! The guy should get an academy award for that role :2 cents:

OK, THE ILLUMINATI:pimp is that like The Spanish Inquisison ? :Graucho

Can't wait to see this, it looks sick!

:thumbsup

Its a movie relax.

I've seen it, its S U P E R B

I will probably end up seeing it - But I have pretty much already decided I wont like it.

Lets hope I am wrong...

No, I don't believe that at all.


I think Spike Lee believes what he says - that he's genuinely upset over what he feels is irreverent treatment of a brutal period in African-American history. I think he feels like a Jew would if somebody made a slapstick comedy set in Auschwitz, with starving, emaciated Jews slipping on banana peels and falling into gas chambers. This is Spike Lee we're talking about here. This is the guy who directed "Malcolm X" and "Bamboozled"(a movie about black stereotypes in Hollywood), and has a production company called "40 acres and a mule." You really think he's that shamelessly fucking phoney that he'd stoop to playing media charades for bigger box office numbers? I know the guy's full of shit, but come on. Nah. Besides, I've never heard Tarantino bash "Red Hook Summer", or whatever other box office flop Lee's put out over the last decade. He hasn't made a good movie since "25th Hour."


Or maybe I?m wrong. Or maybe it?s some hybrid where Spike kind of gives a shit, but knows Denzel *really* gives a shit back from his beef with Tarantino on "Crimson Tide", and Spike needs to preserve that relationship so that he can keep the possibility of "Inside Man 2" alive... who knows. Maybe Spike?s the guy who convinced Michael Jordan to grow a Hitler stache. If so, he?s brilliant.

i like pooh. your mum.

banned for money

The movie was :1orglaugh N word City :thumbsup

I will watch it tonight. Read great comments about it.

No coffin dragging then?

I liked it ... slapstick violence and some funny scenes.

The lynch mob fighting over their hoods was quite funny

I can't stand Spike Lee. He is also racist as fuck.

This :thumbsup
Just watched it and it delivered.
Sam Jackson and DiCaprio were amazing, but Mr. Waltz totally blew me away.

Awesome.
waltz and dicaprio are brilliant as always, but my biggest surprise is jamie (i've bitten a lemon face) foxx, on the other hand i bet that under tarantino's guidance even steven seagal would be a oscar nominee.

Will want to watch it when its on DVD but as I dont have a cinema nearby, I cant see it yet...

its one of the best movies ever !

Golden Globe for Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor.

Can you afford a torrent? Screener copy has been out since about 4 days after it hit theaters.

It's not porn, so no one here cares if you download. :winkwink:

TBH, I actually forget about torrents due to my low download speed... But good point. I have only just (Friday) had a fiber connection put in !
