Loved the movie yet I feel conflicted

I feel like this is comparable to making schindlers list into a spaghetti western. Let me explain. Looking at something like Inglorious basterds it didn't glorify concentration camps or the portray jews in any negative light. The only scene that came close was shoshanna family getting killed, that you never actually saw. Django was raw with certain things they showed. Certain scenes like:

Spoiler

mandingos fight to the death, flashbacks of broomhilda getting whipped, the slave getting torn apart by the dogs

brought out raw emotions. I don't know how that made me feel honestly. On one hand the white man got theirs. On the other hand these scenes showed the raw savagery of slavery. Inglorious basterds never showed jews in any other light other than positive and larger than life. This on the other hand made us appear sub human at times. What if inglorious basterds had scenes in the concentration camps that had nazi's shooting down jews like dogs and piling their bodies up 30 deep? Why didn't it? They made nazi's in the movie general bad guys and hitler into dr. Claw. Django made candie into Jeffrey Dahmer.

And this is my biggest beef with the film. Should Slavery be an Action Adventure? I don't think so, it seems way to serious for it to be something like this. It's like QT did a Slavery Genre film and I don't see them ever treating the Holocaust this way. Some of the plantation scenes were brutal. To QT's credit he did have some racial commentary if you read between the lines. Like "Dr King" name alluding to "Martin". Candie's dinner speech about race.

Dr. King's views on slavery. Django turning into his oppressors talking nasty to slaves cause his only mission was to save his woman. But as I said in my review. This movie didn't really have to take place during Slave times. It could of been a post-civil war western in the south. So again Spike overall had a point, it does trivialize Slavery by making it into action adventure film, I think it will be a generational split. My generation will support the film but I don't see a lot of older black people loving it. For that reason I can't fully give it a pass. Also SMH @ QT:

Spoiler

So you going to have Dr. King kill , so Django couldn't kill the main Villian?, SMH

Let's Use the same Django premise for the Holocaust:

Auschwitz Unchained:

A Jew being held at a concentration camp in Auschwitz is freed by a German Dr Bounty Hunter looking for a bounty on one of Hilters Top generals during the Holocaust. He goes to Auschwitz to find a Jew who's family was torn apart by this general. He frees and trains him and agrees to help him find his wife who is being held hostage at Hilter's Layer. They go from concentration camp to camp killing Nazi's until they get to the layer taking out Hilters personal guards, the general and then killing Hitler and saving his wife. There are 109 Jewish Slurs, 70's Music and Campy Jokes. Meanwhile we see the horrors of gassing, and death at the concentration camps.



If that was "Inglorious b*stards" then dudes would have an argument but it wasn't cause no way Jews in Hollywood would allow it.

This!!! This is what I was trying to say in my post. This is why I was comparing it to inglorious basterds. Thinking about that scene in django,

Spoiler

the Mandingo fight to the death

something changed in me at that moment. That scene. For the whole theater and a lot of posters from what I read. It got real uncomfortable. I felt at that moment this is beyond savage, yet things like this really occurred to my people. It was a subhuman moment and it made me feel so uncomfortable. What if inglorious basterds had that moment? Some scene where nazis were having some dialogue and in the background some jew was getting skinned alive and having the skin made into a lampshade. Or maybe a scene where hitler was introduced in a room and in the background is boiling vats of jew bodies and the fat was being made into soap. It wouldn't happen. It would never happen and that bothers me so much. I hate that fact. I hate them for that fact.

Big Daddy had a few kids with slaves huh? Had some lightskin kids with him when they ran up on Django by the barn

When I wrote that I hadn't seen Django yet but my overall point was the comparison to "Inglorious b*stards" didn't fly. Jewish people and hollywood would never allow anything non-serious about the Holocaust. Django showed more Slave Brutality than b*stards showed Nazi brutality. In b*stards it was mostly implied. Again There were positives about the film but my overall feeling is I just don't know about Slavery being an Action Adventure, that kinda makes it feel exploitative in that way.
