Btw we need that horse stuntin Jamie did at the end of the movie as a gif. I'm on the coli too much when this kinda shyt is running through my mind during the movie
Real shyt. SMH @ me seeing Django put his glasses on at the end and looking at the house and thinking "Damn, that would make a great avi"Btw we need that horse stuntin Jamie did at the end of the movie as a gif. I'm on the coli too much when this kinda shyt is running through my mind during the movie
1. The use of the word "******". I read before watching that the word was used a lot in the movie. It was and that's not what was offensive/too much. What was offensive was the word being used as bait for laughs. For example, QT having one character say something to the effect of "No, not Hercules, ******cles!"....
2. The graphic, amistad-like scenes. If you're going to put graphic, Amistad-like imagery in your movie, the principal message of your movie should be about the sobering, brutal nature of slavery. There are a few moments where it seems like QT's fishing for laughs when the reality of the situation just isn't funny.
Example: White guy on horseback chasing 3 black dudes off into the field for comedic relief in a scene.
3. Sam Jackson's character...possibly the GOAT film c00n and voice for some of the most questionable lines. I don't know if it's worse if QT wrote them or Sam Jackson improvised them.
On another level, why is Sam Jackson the last "villain" to die in the movie? QT spends more time on his sendoff than Candie's.
4. The entire dinner scene @ Candie land.... An entire book could be written deconstructing Candie's speech.
Racial critiques aside, the movie was just poorly paced and fell off in the last half. Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and Inglorious Basterds are still my top 3 QT flicks.
Out in pg county the theater is packed....multiple sold out shows...
Oh, one more thing. The music was generally on point, except for the use of that Rick Ross song and another song I can't think of. But when that John Legend song hits, goddamn was that shyt over-the-top.
That klan scene and the argument about the hoods was one of the funniest scenes in movie history
"I can't see shyt in this thing"
I thought the same during the movie.The Rape scene wasn't a rumor. It was in the original Script and it was taken out cause the studio thought it would be controversial and they were right. Read the script online, it's there. As far as not seeing the movie cause of Spike. Nobody should let someone else dictate what they should and shouldn't watch. Spike never said it was a "Bad" movie that had terrible actors. He just said he felt Slavery wasn't a shoot em up bang, bang western. My boy who I trust saw it and he gave me a mixed review, said it was little too cartoony when it was suppose to be serious it would then turn to humor and be like "Blazing Saddles". He said the performances were good and that QT did OD on the N-word. He said there was good things and bad things. Again I will hold my judgement until I see it this weekend (For Free, not paying).
yup they show it all
I thought the same during the movie.
That would be my ONLY con about the movie is that it never felt "serious" to me but its a Quentin Tarantino flick, kinda to be expected
Sorry if posted already, found this on another forum
I thought the plot was serious... the think the best aspect of the movie was that it didn't take itself too seriously. There were a lot of tense sense moments that I though came off well. I think QT approached it well. You can't use nikka in a movie that many times and expect the movie to be serious all the way through.
