almighty breeze;5311879 said:Django was incredibly offensive, insensitive and outrageous......and I loved every minute. Loved the near totality of the slave experience captured. Brough up more aspects than "whipping" & "runaways." You could dig up an Aubrey Skinned House slave and he wouldnt be as much a coon as Samuel Jackson was.
"Nigger" wasnt used ENOUGH. More slaves should have been whipped. More families destroyed. More mental destruction and taught mistrust. Show everything or not at all. You're Tarantino if anyones going overboard & getting a pass for it it's you. Dont get mushy on me Quentin.
These kind of comments are always so striking to me. Why does he get a pass? Like seriously, in his coke-hazed way, I'm certain he's laughing all the way to the bank. Tarantino makes decent films but he is a cultural tourist of the worse kind and I wouldn't spend a single red penny on a self indulgent movie like Django. He is a one trick pony who thinks stomach churning violence likens him to Billy Wilder and Alfred Hitchcock which he has actually fixed his lips to say, and sweetheart you are certainly no Alfred Hitchcock. He's not even (hardly) Steven Spielberg. I just cannot begin to fathom how many black people can sit and enjoy a movie about slavery that has garnered virtually universal acclaim from white folks. That should be unsettling to people on its face. He knows very well which audiences he can offend and who is the least likely to even realize they're being insulted.

Yeah we are the movie just came out last week and making good money at the boxoffice and up for major awards. Would you rather us talk about some shitty Martin Lawrence movie? Oh wait he doesn't have a movie nor a shitty one out and hasn't for a while.

The setting is pre-civil war.Blackblack americans aka regular black were property back then.
This movie reflects that.

Movie was cool. Got a lot of thoughts:
-Its eye-opening how people are COMPLETELY putting it past Tarrantino having even a little racism in him. Like it's not even possible. Yes the N-word was used in those times so its legit to a point, but after a while the word was being used in the movie COMEDICALLY, by white people and for white people.
-Sam Jackson was hilarious. Exagerated, but still accurate
-Jamie's acting was just OK. A better actor would have got Best Actor nominations.
-The Schultz guy basically played the EXACT same role he did in Inglorius. Takes away from the movie.
-The shooting toward the end was cartoonish

Yes
A movie based on real events, Twelve Years a Slave, is beng made by a black director and will drop later this year. The story itself looks way better than Django, and it will probably sweep next year's award season. I'm pluggin it b/c it's just weird people are championing and awarding a Slave Comedy
Twelve Years a Slave (2013) Drama |
A man living in New York during the mid-1800s is kidnapped and sold into slavery in the deep south.
Director: Steve McQueen
Stars: Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender, Chiwetel Ojiofor, Paul Giamatti, Benedict Cumberbatch, Micheal K. Williams
Twelve Years a Slave is a memoir of a black man who was born free in New York state but kidnapped, sold into slavery and kept in bondage for 12 years in Louisiana before the American Civil War. He provided details of slave markets in Washington, DC, as well as describing at length cotton cultivation on major plantations in Louisiana.
Published soon after Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Northup's book sold 30,000 copies and was considered a bestseller.[1] It went through several editions in the nineteenth century.

BACK IN SLAVERY DAYS.. DID THEY REALLY HAVE NIGGAZ FIGHTING EACH OTHER LIKE THAT?
IVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS UNTIL I SAW THE MOVIE
yes , even after slavery. they'd have these underground bare boxing matches, where niggaz would fight till death or near death. and they'd gamble on em.
this was big in metropolitan areas .
and it's also symbolic to how whites enjoy and love putting niggaz against one another.

I'm curious: As a causcasian, how did you feel about the slavery in the movie? Did you view it as a depiction of real historical events and perhaps it 'enlightened' you, or did the way it was portrayed make it seem like any other violent movie?

That's happened before though. Roots got universal acclaim and still does...Denzel's performance in Glory won him an Oscar and the scene where he gets whooped for leaving the camp is still said to be one of his best scenes in his career and to some one of the best in film history. The Color Purple as well...films with slavery/slaves as the topic or part of the story can garner universal acclaim simply based on the performance of the actors.
