Do you really feel there is a huge difference in me putting a big warning on it and having somebody click a tag?

Be advised that I also didn't think about spoiler tagging the whole thing. My motivation was I didn't want to spoiler tag the specific parts in the text. Either way calm down dude. I'm not a dick.

I'm not a huge movie buff, that this film was intense. I've never walked out of a movie theater while making gestures that suggest I just walked away from a car wreck before. That said, it also had some hilarious parts like Exo said. SLJ deserves an Oscar for this ****. Best film I've seen in a while.
Edit: Also, Tarantino's role was hysterical.

The scene with the hoods, I almost cried laughing.

A lot better than Tarantino's previous movie, imo. Finally a good performance from Samuel L. Jackson, he's been playing in so much crap lately I began losing the respect I had for him as an actor.
Generally I really enjoyed Django. It didn't disappoint me in any way.

I feel like the trailers spoiled that scene for me. I thought it was funny but it would have been way funnier if I didn't know what to expect.

If 'Django' Was 10 Times Shorter and 100 Times More Honest | Cracked.com

Anybody else read this?

The KKK comment is dumb. The movie never calls them clansmen. They just are wearing masks. Sure, the similarity is there, probably for a reason, but Tarantino does enough research to know this.

I thought the entire film was pretty great. And Christopher Waltz is particularly brilliant in it. Check out some of his early work. The man has paid his dues..

Until I couldn't anymore. I'm going to make a statement here from the gut, and it goes like this...

White sub-urban college kids are waaaaaaay to into looking like decent people by complaing that Django is racist, secretly racist, commercially racist, or that Trintino is racist when the moive is not that much different from any other Tarintino movie, its just not socially popular to get on a soap box about Samuris.

This movie was incredible, and if there were any justice in the world, snotty little attention seekers who wanted to seem overly anti-racist would be set on fire in public. This is the same god damn crowd that never finds joy in a god damn thing because "they never told the part about X." If you came to Django for a history lesson, you're a ****ing idiot who doesn't deserve the freedom of speech the government affords you.

If you thought the guy who made Pulp Fiction was going to make a more historically accurate Roots, I don't know why you thought that. People talking about how unrealistic a movie is don't understand that movies aren't for educational purposes. Its primarily why movies aren't cited in academic papers 90% of the time. Its why they sell popcorn and beer at the movie threaters but not at the book store, its why you take dates to the movies and not to the ****ing library.

Jesus do I hate stupid ****ing people.

'Django Unchained' -- Slave Toys DISCONTINUED | TMZ.com

Talk about stupid.

I didn't agree with any of the racial components in that Cracked article, I did like the dry humor break-down of the plotholes that I remember thinking at the time.

All the backlash has been from the black community. Some believe slavery does not need to be re-told in the form of a spaghetti western. Fred's link is a new example of it.


I liked the movie, thought it was kick ass, but this doesn't seem to be one of those instances of white people being overly sensitive towards the portrayal of blacks.

Blacklash. :pimp:

Err.... Anyway, plot holes/racist/Gorey or not, this is a great story with many memorably characters that I'll be remembering for a long time.

Well, I for one did not like this movie and I have yet to come across someone with a similar opinion.

which plot holes were those?

Also, to whoever said it was only black people - get out of the house more.

So, here's my list of films he's done in the theme of "member of perceived victim group goes on morally righteous/revenge killing spree":

Death Proof (womens being the victims :( )
Inglorious Basterds (teh Jews)
Django (teh blacks)



lulz in regards to the underlined.

maybe white suburban kids is what big3 experiences outside his door

I've only encountered black people with issues with the content of the film if i may be honest.

Whomever said it was "only black people" must have made the mistake of talking about physical action against the film, not including user ramblings on some half-assed comedic page.

So you're saying only black people took physical action against the film? What does that mean, they punched the film? What is "physical action" and are you suggesting only white people left the assult against the film in the "marketplace of ideas?"

Cause what you're saying is bordering on the fairly stereotypical.

Physical action i meant getting merchandise removed from stores, boycotting screenings, celebrities going out of their way to speak publicly against the film.

I think you intentionally picked a term obscure enough that i have no clue what you mean really.

Again, I don't know how you only saw Black people as doing this but whatever, at least I know what you mean now.

Kill Bill (assassins)

Totally. I'm sure Tarantino wasn't trying to make any kind of statement whatsoever, but Django probably made me feel more uncomfortable with slavery than any movie I've ever seen.
