Django was my second favorite film of the year next to The Life Of Pie... Tarantino is my dude, he's never made a bad film, and seems to be hitting his stride.

I'm not black, and I can see how it might be weird for ya'll, but I was with my cousin who is half black, and his step dad who's full black from Compton, and they !!ing loved it!

!! is one of the funniest films of the year, but at the same time one of the most intense/disturbing films of the year. Tarantino is a master at balancing his films with heart wrenching REALISTIC violence, and OVER THE TOP "Tarantino" violence...

For the most part the performances were great! LEO was so !!ing amazing. Dude needs to win an Oscar, but I'm not sure they're going to give him the nod, because of the content... !! was weird hearing him say the N-word, but dude was such a bada#s but likable at the same time.

Samuel L. Jackson dropped a fire performance as a grumpy[..] slave, and almost stole the show!

Jamie Foxx's performance was decent, but I thought it was a tad underwritten for the protagonist of the film. Dude did a solid job, and did the best with what he was given.

Kerry Washington's performance was beautiful and heartbreaking as Broomhilda, and she gave a very surprising and brave performance.

Overall I give it a 4 out of 5.

I love Tarantino, but for me Inglorious was his masterpiece so far. Django was still an amazing film, but probably ranks :
1.Inglorious
2.Reservoir
3.Pulp
4.Django
5.Jackie Brown

Great, great movie. Anyone who thinks it is racist should give it a watch. Tarantino authentically depicted the south. It could be emotionally unsettling for some, but I'd recommend it.

My cousin said a few "older" black couples peeled out like midway through.

He basically said he might have liked it more if there werent so many white folk in there. Said the !! blew his high. [pic]

[pic]thats not a good look when people walk out half way through a movie.It does make sense that an older couple would walk out, there a little bit more aware of bull!! then us young'ins [pic]. i want to see reviews from some older blacks an some younger blacks that are also aware of bull!!.

i bet you that older couple was like this[pic]

[pic] some !! is uncalled for but everyone doesnt understand that or care

My other cousin seen it last night too. He's about 20-21 I think. And he's stationed in Ft.Campbell Kentucky. He text me said Sam Jackson was funny in that !!. He liked it so...
I don't know. You know, different strokes for different folks I suppose.

I went with my black friends and they enjoyed it greatly [pic]

I'm Spanish and I thought they did a great job showing how retarded and unintelligent inbred white hicks were back then. He also did a great job authentically depicted the brutality of slavery and other issues blacks had to deal with in the civil war era. He also did a great job showing how much farther along Europeans were culturally (and still are). As a history buff I loved this movie, Tarantino had some serious balls to depict slavery and the old south as authentically as he did.

Yall can piggy back Spike or just listen to whatever your cousins say and !! like that but as a movie fan I have no clue how you can pa#s up on a movie of the year candidate in fear of getting offended [pic]

If he doesnt depict it brutally enough he gets flack, if it's too brutal he gets flack [pic] Let the oscars do the talking

If there is any group of people that don't like this film it will be racist white southerners

It would've taken balls to put the word kike in inglorious basterds 100 + times. Going at blacks is easy work everybody will just call them sensitive. Tarentino knows which envelops to push and which ones to stay away from.

Huh?

Why would the word "kike" an American term that originated in America for jewish immigrants, be used in Germany during World War 2? That doesn't make sense to me. That's just historically inaccurate

I'm sure the Germans had their slurs for Jewish people, point is he stayed the !! away from using them. Like I said Tarentino knows who to !! with and who to stay away from.

Ummm... It also probably would have been historically inaccurate... I don't think people in 1940s in Germany and France were going around calling Jews "Kikes"... But I believe the word "******" was thrown around quite a lot in the south in the 1850s...

Actually, one of the most important points of Hitler's anti-semetic brainwashing amongst the German people was turning the word "Jew" into a derogatory term. Much like "Gay" and "Homo" have been turned into homophobic terms in the US.

Stop reaching bro. Reach for a history book instead mane.

I addressed this. He could've used the German equivalent for the word but he didn't. What was the worst thing to happen to a jew in basterds? Get called a jewish dog? He didn't show anybody getting ga#sed or anybody getting thrown in an oven. Tarentino doesn't have balls. He just knows that black people have no power in Hollywood. Who's going to say something besides Spike Lee?

We're talking historical accuracy in a movie where Hitler was gunned down with a machine gun? Which one of us is reaching?

I think the accuracy of culture can still be important in a historical fiction movie. You brought up Inglorious basterds first dude, you're point just didn't work out too well [pic]

So let me get this... Your complaint is that Django is too authentically representative of the culture of America during the Civil War era? [pic]

Look man, when I get back to NC I'ma probably go see the !!. Never said the movie "looks[..]" or anything of that nature. And I for damn sure aint offended by no movies. Im more so a little vexed that muthafuhkin 2012 we cant get a black director to do a film about these type of things and get the same "excitement and praise" as a white guy?
