This is NOT Roots 2.
This was Inglorious b*stards for Black People. Django is a superhero of sorts, it felt great to see him take out the anger all the slaves had to suppress for fear of death of bigots, racists and slave owners.
The story told the truth about this:
There are good, great and bad people who are oppressed. There are good and and bad people that... wait
Nah oppressors are all bad, fukk EM.
Shultz was part of that crowd that could have chosen to be indifferent (The real danger in society) or actually not go on anymore knowing the oppressors living life with a smug look on their face...
Exactly. It's a movie made by white people to entertain white people using slavery as the back drop. The movie exploits slavery. That's all I'm saying. What's your problem with me pointing that out? I don't deny that there are scenes in the movie that do a good job of illustrating how messed up slavery was. I'm just saying that it's entertainment.
We are really going to sit here and state with conviction that Django Unchained was designed to entertain white people specifically?Or are you making a statement about the Movie Industry being a business and its primary function is to entertain PEOPLE generally?
As Black people... mater fact...
Gravity, are you taking the stance that it is blasphemous up to make a movie with certain cartoonish and comedic undertones because it deals with the slavery of our ancestors?
Are you so concrete on that stance that you think it is wrong to make a movie about ANY tragedy unless it is absolutely 100% serious?
Or just black tragedies? Or just slavery?
How exactly is this movie made "to entertain white people"? Why not just...to entertain?
As a white man
I can't understand why black people have a problem with a spaghetti western were a black slave kills mad racist/bigot/slave owning a$$holes
Does it rewrite history?
Yeah but its a fukking spaghetti western....
You know
The movies where people light matches off the back of peoples necks and then proceed to shoot the hat off of everyone's head in a saloon while drinking his tequila???
Its revenge fantasy and as someone said
A black mans version of inglorious b*stards....except this is better based off of opening theme song alone

Sounds like something Schultz from the movie would say.
I mean I understand the whole "but a white man directed it" but then I would argue....why would Samuel L and Jamie Foxx do it if it was that morally wrong
spike lee could have done this movie and I would have been bored off my ass

Explain this furtherHidden social commentary
DId you catch that social commentary on the clothes Django first chose for himself? With the slave responding to him... "You a free man? And you picked that?"
Spike will eventually see this movie and be like
but on the outside show
Since SPike didn't come up with the idea...
ANYONE ELSE WITH ANY OTHER HIDDEN shyt?
I haven't seen anyone type paragraphs on the film who haven't seen it... Maybe I missed those posts...I don't relate to the emotions or opinions of anyone speaking on something they haven't even seen. It's fukking silly.
Anyone that speaks on a movie they haven't seen is a moron. Period. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why. It's not as if I'm telling people to put money in QT's pockets, either. Bootleg the movie if you have to, but be knowledgeable about what you're discussing. Then, if you have a problem with the movie, by all means go on a rant about it. You're acting like I got a problem across the board with people that are offended by the movie. I specifically have a problem with anyone that hasn't seen the movie, yet is sitting here writing paragraphs on why it's horrible.
If common sense makes me The Evil White Man, fukk it.
Fred.
However, I think it is alright for people to have a negative first impression of a QT movie centered around Slavery times before seeing it... You don't need to see it to know how the shyt is going to be portrayed in the film... Most of us know QT's style... The movie came out exactly how I expected it to be.
Common sense would tell you the film would be Brutal imagery with some comedic elements and hyper-violence, in cross-genre film.. That may come off as spoofish and offensive to some, or pure entertainment to someone else... When I was watching it, I could totally see things in the film that definitely confirmed the preconceived notions of people in this thread. If these people in the thread predicted certain aspects correctly, are they morons? Or are they pretty intelligent for predicting Quentin Tarantino's style of story telling?
Also, I should end this by saying, I knew this film would be amazing when it was announced, and thought it was amazing when I saw it... I was just responding to your corny attempt at sarcasm... No hard feelings...

Aight.. my take...
Django was a free man at the point he first picked his own clothes. The clothes he picked were some clown extravagant shyt he thought looked nice because of the desire to look like the oppressor and/or
be a flashy man
He, himself, probably would look at the outfit on someone and think they are a clown, however, he got the chance and looked like a clown himself.
It took the slave wihtout the filter to explain to him he looked stupid.
It reminded me of alot of the problems in the hood with people looking like buffoons because something appears flashy.

How often do we see people look like straight minstrels because of what is trendy for that time or era?
i swear this is how all white liberals be thinking!
