it never felt "too long", even with that, whut exactly should be taken out?

we live in an ADD society today. shyt, they were complaining that the HOBBIT was "too long" ignoring the fact its as long as all of those lord of the rings films.

The movie flew by. I rather get the whole movie whether it's 2 or 3 hours long rather than a butchered version to suit ADHD viewers

Only thing I find hard to believe is if there was really people like Samuel Jackson back then?

I agree some people are like that. Instant society. I'm not in that category though. You're right. The Hobbit was long as the other LOTR but I didn't feel it once. The story flowed well. Same with Dark Knight (Heath). Inception. Godfather 1,2. I could go on. Never felt long in any in those movies and they were long.

You could easily make the Aussie scene shorter. Make the castration scene shorter or cut it out all together (no pun intended). (I'd rather that been Sam who would have did the castration attempt and engage him in dialogue anyway.) Soon as he surrenders, I would have cut to him locked up with the Aussie. Outsmart them. Escape. Do the final battle. Resuce his girl. No horse tricks. The end.

That castration scene was originally about 7 pages longer. Billy Crash goes through a whole tirade about how he trained the mandingos and now with Candie gone he'll be out of a job. Sam Jackson comes in and burns off Django's nipples with a hot poker. The scene fukking stretches on forever in the original version. I'm sure it'll be on the DVD

Yes, it cost a lot of shoot across land like that you have to pay permits. Also it's clear this Cast cost Big Money, it's probably the most expensive cast of QT's career. Most cast take pay cuts to work with QT but the fact he 100 Million shows me this time he really payed the cast well.

Breh, there's plenty of nikkas like him, especially in corporate America.

They do anything to make other black people look bad and anything to endear themselves further to whites.

$83 million dollar budget....already made $60 some million this week.

They're gonna be in the black in no more than 2 weeks.

and I think that flashback is to signify that Schultz finally starts to actually "get it,"--what the whole slavery thing is about, how terrible it is, and that by buying Broomhilda back, even if that means the mission is a success, that he is upholding slavery and the horrors that come with it. In realizing this, he decides that he can't live with himself, so he kills Candie, knowing it means he'll die to.

Basically, he makes the transition from being guilty white liberal whose motives are to distance himself from the "bad" whites, to actually being down for the cause and willing to fight and die for it. I've personally seen, in real life, white liberals experience a great deal of cognitive dissonance as they have gone from speaking out against white supremacy to actually understanding it and realizing that they have benefitted from it and in many ways upheld it. The shift in moral compass is often frightening for them, which is why they are so adamant in NOT talking about issues or telling us to "get over it." They don't wanna talk about it or face it cuz it fukks with their entire self-concept of being a "good" person as they realize how much they benefit by living in a white supremacist society.

The more I think about this movie, the more I believe it is designed to throw the curtains back on white supremacy and is a harsh critique of it. It seems to say, "hey, this is what white people think of you, and this is how they justify it, and it's all STUPID!" or from a white person's perspective, "this is what we think of them and how we treat them, we have been irrational and childish (hence Candie and Candie Land), and it's STUPID because they show more humanity than we do (all the white characters, except Schultz, are actually subhuman and lacking insight/character/intelligence, while all the black characters, even the uncle tom, show insight and humanity). This movie is asking everybody to wake up.

What I'm surprised not too many people have commented on in this thread is how black people are portrayed in this flick and the commentaries made on contemporary black issues--how we think of ourselves and how we are scared of "them" on a psychological level...I think the ending is basically saying that we have no need to be scared, we don't need white people to save us, that we can do it on our own...just that we've been conditioned otherwise.

I thought the reason he shot Leo's character was because he had the gun up his sleeve, and when Leo kept insisting on the handshake he realized that if he shook Leo's hand the gun would be discovered and they'd kill him, so he decided might as well merk. Thats why he was denying the handshake for so long.

That's crazy. 2 volumes could have let him have his fun. End Vol. 1 with Dr. King finding out where she was at. Then part 2, Leo's house and shoot out (s).
