The seperation between what's fake and what's real
Just got back from seeing it....surprised one of QT's better movies..Samuel l jackson had me dying...sad thing is during that time there were plenty of slaves just like him....I thought QT portrayed the era pretty well

The seperation between what's fake and what's real
the interesting and possibly metaphoric aspect or moral is...
when it was all said and done, the main enemy was another black man protecting and preserving the white man's rule
my thought exactly

I think Schultz was going to let them go . Maybe he'd pull a big daddy and come after them but he was just mad they tricked him ..as someone of his standing he didn't like getting played a fool by a black man .
Pretty much , and that's how a lot of people felt about Slaves . That was a big basis for slavery that black people were lesser people .
Jamie's performance gets overlooked but he was great . His scenes in the flashback
he did a great job with the classic cowboy figure but with the slavery backstory .
Why did Spike Lee hate on this again?

After reading this thread, I decided to give this movie a go. Went yesterday.
I think the film was ok in that it attempted to show a former slave rise to get 'getback' at enslavers. I noticed QT went back and forth with Jamie's character.... with one minute 'fukk enslavers' to later ' eff that pickaninny'. I guess I was expecting a little more from the film and left feeling more 'meh' than
It was decent. Sam did his thang playing Uncle Ruckus basically. While there was a lot of action...it seemed for the sake of action itself and not with much emotion at times. Ultimately it was chop stick spaghetti and that is QT style. I think if you are looking for a truly gripping portrait of a "slave narrative" then see Roots on something of that ilk. This is a slave narrative with a ols west cowboy backdrop and a fun soundtrack.

i respect your opinion, but i humble have to disagree on a number of things, or maybe you possibly was too critical...
it's no secret or QT never made it a secret that his all-time favorite film is "the good, the bad, and the ugly", and he always wanted to make his own spaghetti western with that in mind. also, he stated and questioned why there's never been a WESTERN that incorporated slavery considering the time periods were relatively during the same time. that's the entire basis of this film. so, it'll foolish to assume to come into the film with a "slave narrative", expecting some drama-black man victimization like ROOTS.
with that said, the action isn't for emotional purposes but with intent for retribution. the film was about black empowerment with a hero unlike anything we seen on film within OUR lifetime that represents heroism for the black man and for the black woman. the slaughtering of white oppressors is shown as payback. this is why all the blood that's splattered is splashed on white canvases, such as all over cotton, the snow, the white horse that big daddy rode on, all over the walls of candie's mansion.
i dunno whut else to say thou.. if u ain't feeling it, so be it. as for me. i came out feeling like vintage n*gga you love to hate CUBE out that b*tch

Roots ??
this gave a more realistic depiction of the cruelties suffered . What do you mean by the pickaninny statement ??? If you mean on the way to candie land he was playing a Role breh. To trick candie 
roots is very soft on white people
Good points. @gluvnast I love how this movie has opened up dialogue on slavery and white guilt Etc . I broke down a lot of stuff about slavery they don't teach in school ( which is pretty much just the basics far be it for us to learn the real gruesome facts ) to my gf after the movie (she's Spanish )i respect your opinion, but i humble have to disagree on a number of things, or maybe you possibly was too critical...

I mean the movie was clearly his take on a spaghetti western that starred a slave. It wasn't the history of the Slave trade which it sounds like vlad wanted .

Yeah, I feel you son. No doubt, I can respect your take as well. I think personally I feel slavery is more important that a western chop stick approach thematically so possibly just the form takes a bit to get used to. However, as I mentioned, it's apart of QT's mode and was not unexpected and I took it as such to a degree. However, I think NATURALLY when many think of slavery, it's not within the parameters of this type of energy. It's typically a more dramatic fashion, hence my mention of Roots for a different angle. Good feedback breh! Greenage for ya sent.
To the cat that said they went easy on people in Roots...
Anyone have a link?.. I've seen it in theatre but want to catch it agian.
Director Quentin Tarantino revealed at Comic-Con that Jamie Foxx and Kerry Washington's Characters are meant to be the great great great grandparents of the character John Shaft from the "Shaft" movies. An overt reference to this connection can be found in Kerry Washington's character's full name: Broomhilda Von Shaft.
