Django Unchained

Anyone who's into movies at all is without a doubt keeping an eye on this film. It's Tarantino doing a film about American slavery. It's going to be highly anticipated, and probably controversial. It's got an amazing cast featuring Jamie Foxx, Leo DiCaprio, and Christoph Waltz (of Basterds fame), among others.

The trailer came out today, you can view it here.

Who wants to take bets on how many times they use the n-word?

bob. 06-06-2012 06:42 PM
well dammit i was going to wait till Friday when i went and saw Prometheus.....but since you just HAD to post a link...... :)

it looks as good as i expected.....spaghetti western set in the slave ridden south with just a hint of black exploitation :)....love the blood splatter on the cotton

i bet they use the n-word less than they did in Pulp Fiction :)

Alfred 06-06-2012 07:10 PM
I'm predicting around 50 uses.

LoathsomePete 06-06-2012 07:53 PM
Considering they're suppose to be depicting some of the worst factually documented horrors inflicted upon slaves by the white power structure I wouldn't be surprised if the N-word gets used quite a bit. Again, given the time period this won't be as uncomfortable as it was in say Pulp Fiction where it just kind of seemed to be there for controversy.

oh good, another crapper from Tarantino. I'm sick of the hype surrounding him, he's just a pastiche machine, nothing he has made since jackie brown is even slightly original!

Yeah! He should just stop making movies because YOU don't like them! Right guys?

Everything he has made since Jackie Brown is far better than Jackie Brown.

Hell, I'd take Jackie Brown over half of the shit Hollywood has bescumbered upon on us since Jackie Brown, and Jackie Brown wasn't even that good.

The whole film takes place in this completely constructed cinema universe, I think the free use of the term only added to the sense that this wasn't our world, it was the world of Pulp Fiction.

As far as Django, I think I pissed myself when I saw the trailer. I also laughed my ass off when I heard that Tarantino wanted Will Smith to play Django. :laughing:

LoathsomePete 06-10-2012 03:24 PM
Oh god Will Smith playing Djano would have been hilarious, but it would have also ended his career as a leading black actor.

Frownland 06-10-2012 05:49 PM
So if it's in the Tarantino film universe, I'm guessing that this will be less violent than his other films? Because it's set before the men in Inglourious Basterds put the world into a violent place and ended up with the ultraviolent Kill Bill in the future. Or will this be the precursor to the violence of Inglourious Basterds?



Oh wait, what the hell am I talking about? It's a Tarantino film for Christ's sake.

Django is Julius's great great grand pappy.

Eh? Really? Death Proof is fun, but there are so many pointless scenes and shots in it. Scenes that add nothing to the suspense, don't add to the exhilaration of the final scene, but aren't entertaining in a comedic sense and don't add depth to the characters. Filler, in other words.

Jackie Brown is cut so tightly.... it's wonderful. The plot, the dialogue.... Grier's acting is bad at times, but otherwise it's a wonderful film. It's actually my favorite by Tarantino.

Alfred 06-10-2012 09:42 PM
I thought Jackie Brown dragged on too long and only kept me moderately interested. It's like a three star film in my mind (out of a possible 5).

Yes, really. Jackie Brown isn't a bad movie, but it's a pretty ordinary movie. It feels very much like it could have been directed by some no-name director and still have turned out the same. There's nothing particularly special about it. Definitely my least favorite Tarantino movie.

Check out the big brain on Brad.

Looking forward to Django, have they announced a release date at all?

If you're really Tarantino, I have an idea for your next film. It's called Sofie Fatale's Big, One-Armed Adventure.

I'm actually planning on doing Kill Bill Vol. 3 after Django hits. Don't tell anybody though.

You've only been promising that since forever, Quentin. Stop playing with emotions.

This does surprise me I have to say, if he had made anything close to Drive in the last 15 years then I would be all over him but he just doesn't cut it for me and hasn't for a while. He can write two hander dialogue superbly but the constant rehash of old ideas and films is becoming really tiresome and this isn't just another case of Tarantino bashing for the sake of it either.

There is only so much geek I can take in movies for me to turn off and ask for some originality for once.

Thom Yorke 06-19-2012 01:14 PM
Can't wait for this. Interested to see what Waltz does for an encore.

This is what they said about Shakespeare.

How about that new trailer?


Django Unchained - Official Trailer #2 (HD) - YouTube

LoathsomePete 10-14-2012 09:19 PM
It's definitely got me a little more into the story now with the introduction of Samuel L. Jackson's character as an almost Uncle Tom. I can't wait to see the news media outlets light up when the movie's release date gets closer. A brutal take down on white society that is released in the middle of said society's most sacred holiday... yeah that's going to piss off more than a far share of folk.

Alfred 10-15-2012 08:47 AM
I wonder what kind of pop culture references Tarantino will manage to sneak into this one.

Alfred 10-27-2012 04:45 PM
Samuel L. Jackson has a pretty significant role, actually.

RTSullivan 11-08-2012 08:18 AM
Looking forward to this with tongue firmly in cheek.

Does this have anything to do with Django Reinhardt?

No. Why would it?

Guybrush 11-12-2012 09:25 AM
I hope it's not as superficial as his latest films (like the Kill Bills and Inglourious Basterds), but actually has substance, f.ex dialogue which is meant to do more than drive the plot forwards while making the right characters seem really cool.

Tarantino has been overrated for a while, I think, but I'm still looking forward to this even if I'm a tiny bit sceptical.

Alfred 12-02-2012 08:51 PM
There was a screening this weekend. The audience liked it.

So far we're looking at 80 on Metacritic, 100 on Rotton Tomatoes, and 5 Golden Globe nominations including best picture.

New clips to whet your appetites too. I could not be more excited for a film than I am for this one.

Samuel L. Jackson and Leo are awesome as villains.

I thought rather than put my review in "Last film watched" I'd put it here in case any discussion arises. So yeah...

Django Unchained

Okay so basically I loved this movie up until the last 30 minutes. I'm strictly speaking of everything that happened after Christoph Waltz was killed. For me he made the entire movie and it was a film about him more than Django. Waltz has now cemented my feet in front of anything he will ever do ever again. He is that mesmerizing. His character in this one was a more moral Hans Landa but his mannerisms and facial expressions remained pretty much the same. This is one of the only times I can say that I would love to have the same character in every movie. Don't get me wrong...I also implore Waltz to do different things, but if every future movie I saw with him was a variation on Hans Landa...it wouldn't be too bad.

From the shootout to the credits I wanted the film to just end. The shootout happened after nearly no buildup that we're used to seeing in QT's films and this particular one was rushed and resembled other gruesome action pieces albeit with more blood and quick cuts. The "redemption" of Django also just didn't sit well with me because Django wasn't even the second strongest character in the film. It felt disjointed and incoherent and I hated it all. QT's cameo didn't help.

That being said I enjoyed the shot out of the first two plus hours. I thought the dialogue was great and it really was one of the funniest films I've seen this year. Don Johnson as Big Daddy was fantastic and Leonardo and Sam Jackson were a great team of lunatic southern jackasses. They were both perfect.

One thing I might add is the loss of Sally Menke is going to make a huge difference in QT's films from this point forward. The woman was just incredible at her job. She is like the wheels on the Tarantino vehicle and without them it may look nice but it just doesn't run the same. The whole film had weird cuts and strange flashbacks that just felt odd. I miss her already.

Overall its a perfect film with a horrible ending that I'll see again but won't consider it QT's best. The ending really did just kill it for me. Christoph Waltz should win another Oscar.

8/10

Well if you're not going to spoiler it I will.
Not hiding spoilers of a movie that's not even out in most parts of the world yet may not be against the rules but it is a dickish thing to do.
