Under Your Skin
I don't believe she would able to pull it off. She just not look right for this character cause she don't have that look, she's just look too hood.

If you're a movie director and you only have two photos on your table that you want someone to play for this role perfectly and understand this character and study this character so well so you hopefully one of them nailed it.

I want you to look at this picture and think, who would have done a better job?



or



Just be honest with me....
I disagree Meagan doesn't look hood at all. And if she did, i don't think that has much to do with it if your're a good actress, which i think Meagan, although not the caliber of Kerri. Taraji looks hood, and i think she woulda pulled off that role also.

But it is what it is. Kerri did a great job.

Heads are complaining about Django not killing Leo, but I think they're missing the point. The whole film draws parallels between Dr. King and Candie as well as Django and Stephen. King's first speech compares bounty hunting to slave trade and later on Django calls King out for softening up in front of Candie after he made Django kill a man in front of his son. Django spends the movie as a student of King but he does things he's not comfortable with (playing his part in Candie land and killing the pops). Sam's character is the same way, when he drops the cane it shows that dude was faking the entire time to get what he wanted...both characters were underestimated by their "superiors" and able to take advantage of them.

In the end, King kills Candie bc he sees some of himself in the man even in so much as he really wasn't taking Django seriously at first. With Django it's a similar dynamic.

Also, I don't think QT took slavery lightly. King is a character who takes slavery lightly (again, you just gotta look at how he compares bounty hunting and then watch his reactions to the brutality). The first half of the movie it's all jokes for him and it's almost a game. By the end the dude can't get the images of brutality towards slaves out of his mind and it consumes him to the point of not even being able to shake hands with a slave owner and choosing to die instead. He's supposed to be a reflection of the audience (white audience at least). The first half of the film the audience is laughing and almost disarmed, but the treatment of slaves gets worse and worse and increasingly more ugly...they go from laughter to disgust as the story progresses...they go from really sleeping on the brutality to an eyes wide open stance where they're own mirror image within the movie dies and they don't really care as long as Django makes it. King's got a redemption story in there whereas Django's is the revenge story.

That ish is genius right there...along with some of the more overt stuff like naming a character Dr. King knowing damn well what that name represents.

So just watch the panel on the movie. QT and all the stars of the movie answered just about every question you can think of. It's on YT.

i loved the confrontation when King refused to shake Leo's hand, he had nothing but severe :pacspit: for him


I found it interesting that Django's final standoff was with Samuel Jackson
and not Leo
