Just seen this movie and was thoroughly disappointed, every prominent character (bar kerry washington's) outshone the lead. Yet QT envisioned that this movie would give blax a superhero that hadnt been seen on film? :stopitslime: its never a good look when everyone that walks away from the film remembers dr scultz rather than django.

film didnt really feel like a western at all hell kill bill felt more like one tbh, there was barely any action and when there was its wasnt the usual imaginative way QT usually does it.And the biggest offense was the dialogue, django unchained just didnt have that taritinoesqe imprint.

When you match this against inglorious its not even fair, django was underwhelming as fuk and it wasnt helped by the idots who complained that it was too this and that before it was released

maybe its an age or race thing but whatever the reason y'all are really generous with praise

So Dr Scultz Sood Out More To You Then D'Jango Huh.....?

despite all the special edition packages the blu ray lacks features like deleted scenes

The dude who play Schultz is probably 10x the actor that Jamie Foxx is though.
that even makes it worse cuz QT positioned scultz and candie in the most pivotal and memorable roles knowing foxx/washington were the weaklinks acting wise

I am not even sure that sidney poitier and viola davis cud have changed things in foxx/washington role because on paper they are just underdeveloped and uninteresting not sure what QT was tryin to achieve.For years he's written dope black characters in ensembles but the one movie he has a black protagonist he's clueless? Just bizarre

I wouldn't say he was clueless but he was uneducated, especially in the beginning. But..... he was a slave. :youngsabo:

The deeper in the story the more you see how much he learns, and how smart he becomes. Thus, when it was time to handle business he handled it.

I thought it was brilliant personally.

Disagree about the roles. :rucksammy:
in what sense? U don't think dr scultz and calvin candie were created with the intention that they'd be the standout characters u walk away from the movie remembering? :stopitslime:

I didn't mean the character was clueless I meant QT on his characterisation for django.If that is the kind of black representation he thinks blacks desire he's a fukkin idiot.There is a reason audiences both black and white were watching like :beli: during django's scenes and when the happy couple reunite, it cuz the writing sucked

No I don't. I think those roles were given to actors that are just better on screen that Jamie Foxx. Django was the only character in the movie that even had or arc or an opportunity to change/grow.

Jamie had major interplay with both of those characters. Him getting an acting lesson from them both isn't a reflection of QT breh.
