| The movie was dope there are some underlying things in it and I need to see it again. Here's my take possible spoiler alerts! The good: The !! was 2:45min and I loved every !!ing bit of it. The movie kept my attention from the first forest scene to the final explosion. I was looking for technique like in most QT films but he hit hard with the story. I mean this was one of the best films I've seen in a bit. Sam k!lls it too, I mean he played the best house nicca on the planet, you just want to see him get his[..] hand to him but he's too funny to let go. This man is one of my favorite actors and he proved to me why he is the man. Leo was brilliant I really could see why hes getting his props for this role, when he confronts Doc and Django he really had me uncomfortable and I knew what was going to happen. Jamie had the swag of today, so that's where the fantasy comes in. He was not carrying it like a slave by the time he was a full fledged bounty hunter, which was apart of his characters growth. I hate to be that dude but I did try to sneak a peek at Kerry's !! when they pulled her out the hot box. This again was a great film, I absolutely hate westerns and I loved this movie. I plan on seeing it again to further break it down. Cant say enough about Sam! You can't do it but he deserves an award for his role. The Bad: The only things that bugged me was the lack of foot accents Leo was pretty good and the closest to a true southerner, Don Johnson is in line with him but that's kinda it. Jamie had his normal swag and Sam was Sam, QT does show up sporting a !!ty Aussie accent but It wasn't major. The scene that bothered me was Jamie trying to get back to Candyland he sounded like he was in the huddle in Any Given Sunday. Some of the k!lling was over the top and unbelievable but it a Tarantino movie. Overall not much bad to say. The Ugly: My experience was not bad I had specific needs while I watched this. I planned to get there early to get my seats which is very last row and dead center. Got my tickets 2hrs early and came back. Got in the theater was packed mad white folk, and I'm like damn lol. There was a white family In "my seats" but there was a seat on either side of them. I asked them if would mind sliding down and they did. Nice I have my seat next to cool[..] redneck Bob who a thanked a few times for moving and giving me what I consider the best seats. That out the way movie starts and yeah there were a few chuckles from the couple in front of me who I couldn't tell if they were white or black. Dude next to me didn't seem to laugh unless I did first and I felt bad because he paid his ticket and should laugh as he saw fit. I laughed my[..] off Sam Jackson was !!ing funny point blank. The use of the nword Didn't stick out to me like I thought it would, and it was the butt of Many of the jokes in the film. There was the interaction between Jamie and Sam's characters that I picked up on. When Steven comes out the house asking "who is this nicca on this nag?" He pretty much is put in his place by Candy and told he should hate Django. This to me speaks to now blacks usually hate on other successful blacks even if neither are running the show and the lack of black unity was pointed out. Other then that not much else hit me with hidden !! but I want to watch it again. Bottom line go see it the movie is sick and Sam Jackson alone is worth the price of admission. | |

While on the other hand Django has very much to do about the plight of Blacks during the slavery era of the US. | |||

Yet in spite of all of that, Tarantino is a superior director to any black director. Maybe in 10-15 years when there are more qualified black directors one of them will take a shot at covering slavery in a feature-length film. | ||

| Tarentino is famous for over the top violence yet in Inglorious Basterds apart from the opening scene all the violence is jew on Nazi no over the top scenes where Jewish families are gassed no over the top scene where jew after jew is burned alive. Tarentino knows how to pick his battles. | |

| Jews get protected in Hollywood no doubt, but I think a movie that depicts racism toward any other ethnicity/cultural group would still be as successful and as great as Django is | |

Now your just talking outta your[..]... You don't even know any black director outside of Spike, John Singlton and Antone Fuquia. Get the !! outta here with that not qualified !!, how the !! do you know who's qualified and who's not? Whats the qualification for making a slave film !! boy? All of the above directors I named alone have a higher education then Tarantino. Shut the !! up idiot. Last edited by Soda Pop; 12-26-2012 at 11:03 AM.. | ||

He asked why a slave movie with a black director wouldn't have same amount of popularity and appeal as a Tarantino movie and it's pretty simple answer to me. Tarantino is one of the best directors EVER, gets all the best actors, and has directed many CLASSIC movies. Unfortunately due to the fact that we are only recently removed from the civil rights era and socio-economically minorities are at a disadvantage there aren't many quality black directors on Tarantino's level, however I see that changing within the next 10-15 years because there are already many very talented black actors which means more quality black directors will come in time. And I didn't say Tarantino had a higher education than those black directors just what white directors in general have had more opportunities in the past making them better directors. However like I said because of the direction our country is going in there are going to be more quality black directors in the future.

A poster asked me why can't a black director direct a slave movie with as much popularity, appeal, and viewer interest as QT can. Do you think there is a black director out there with the name recognition of the Tarantino brand, the recent resume (within last 20 years), and the ability to get a stacked cast like QT? <<< The answer to the question:
