I haven't seen anyone type paragraphs on the film who haven't seen it... Maybe I missed those posts...

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?:yeshrug:

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...

I ain't mad at you breh. :manny:

You must've missed a lot of posts though. I'm just saying. I don't even mean people having an initial negative impression based on the subject matter and/or QT's track record. I'm specifically talking about the people typing mad paragraphs about what they think the movie is, or what happened in it, or what dialogue or scene they heard about, and going on and on about how horrible it is, and ain't even seen the god damn movie. That would be like me hearing "oh, he killed a gang of white people, what the fukk how offensive blah blah blah" then going off for 15-20 posts on it with no context whatsoever. That wasn't sarcasm, that was exactly how people sound.

This ain't even a race issue, this is a stupid people issue. If a movie came out called "Kill All White Devils" regardless of who directed it I wouldn't speak on it or how offensive or terrible it is until I seen it. Seems like common sense to me. :yeshrug:

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?

from understand he didn't want to wear that shyt, but shultz insisted he play a role

He was ambivalent about playing the role, but he DID want to wear that get up.

Also, would the movie be okay if a black man directed it? White people were brutally murdered and made to look dumb, dirty, ignorant, and just like shyt throughout and the black man came out on top and some of you all are trying to spin that into a negative? It was good revenge porn, just enjoy it for what it is. Much better than the c00n picnics that plague the airways currently.

django didn't want to play a black slave master because it's the lowest thing a black man be ever be... schultz insisted to play it up for the advantage, little did he know, django stopped "acting" and truly was liberated mentally from the slave mentality by doing that.

“I’ve never given anyone their freedom before and now that I have I feel responsible for you.”~ SCHULTZ

:mindblown: i swear this is how all white liberals be thinking!

Right. I still liked Schultz but Tarantino criticized him and the white people he represents a lot in this movie and I think that's being overlooked a lot in criticisms of the movie as a whole.

Addressing people who didn't see it, that's an easy argument to win that doesn't get anywhere. There are black people who saw this movie and still found it racist.

One of The biggest criticisms I've seen is that Django needed a white savior to teach him/handle him and to kill Candie. What's being missed is that, as gluvnast, myself, and a few others have pointed out, the way Schultz kills Candie and many of Schultz' actions are critical of a lot of the white audience members enjoying the film.

Didn't read all this yet. But
Waltz actions by shooting Leo ruined this from being a classic to me. The point was to get the girl. Yeah, you didni't get the way you wanted but so what. You kill Leo and what did he thiink was gonna happen to Django?

Movie had classic moments but is not a classic like Kill Bill, Inglorious, Jackie, Pulp, etc.

we extensively explained the handshake scene and about schultz misleading character as a whole... once you truly understand the character arch of schultz and the fact he was really someone who's selfish in his intentions...you may probably appreciate it WAY WAY more. that scene pretty much is the most important scene OF the movie!

word, schultz may of been the one initially "liberated" him, but it was for HIS own benefit only and not for the sake of django's. and the thing many people overlooked was the ascension of django's character and the decline of schultz's. schultz's came in there with this preceived notion that django was HIS sidekick only the tables slowly turned to where it was django actually running the show...

But here's the thing, he could easily come back if he wanted revenge. Why do that and jeopardize all that work. Especially since "others" had to swallow their pride all the time. And you had to do it once and you "risk" it all.
