i didnt want to say it in my first post, but this mental battle was masterfully done. Seeing dude "become" a slave because he wanted to "survive" (and if you remember, he mentioned this earlier in the film) was amazing.
In fact the whole film was about dual feelings. Benedict Cumberbatch's character was a great example of this (and also good for those white people who will act like "there is no way I could be like Master Epps" well you could be Master Ford)
what's steve's next projects>? he has talent and an eye for bringing the best out of actors..
Is this still in limited release? I couldn't even find a theater in Savannah showing it
@smARTmouf - It says there should be showings in Chicago starting today according to the website in the link.
@Ziggiy - It's still limited, but there appears to be some shows in ATL. Don't know if you'd want to drive there to see it, but the wide release is November 1st.

Please don't think I'm dissing you brehs cos I'm not, but these posts are hilarious.
Steve mcqueen is a genius and has produced some of the best video art ever. He hasn't 'got next' because he doesn't need 'next'. He's been getting extremely prestigious awards since the 90's. He's the only artist ever to win the venus biennale and turner prize
That's cool, just asking as this film is going to create more interest and buzz for the man,
Shame and hunger plus his few shorts already spoke of the man's talents.

That's what I was waiting on deciding to see this movie: Not being another so-called black history movie and written and directed by blacks .
Peeping it this weekend
One of the greatest movies I've ever seen. Saw it in DC last night.
Some scenes had me tightened up my fist lol, had some folks crying - especially at the end. But everything about this movie was on point. From the directing, the screenplay, the cast, etc. Steve McQueen, John Ridley, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Lupita Nyong'o & Michael Fassbender should ALL be nominated for the Oscars & real talk, they should clean up.

In a lot of ways Django was a comedy.
Django was never a serious film about slavery no matter how desperately some tried to pretend it was. In a weird way Django will probably make 12 years that much more powerful since dumbasses probably think they've seen the true terrors of slavery in Tarantino's film, so they're in for the shock and gut punch of their life.
With that said I hope this doesn't result in a Slavery film boom. There's more to the African American experience than our fight for freedom.

No diss to you either but McQueen himself recently admitted that after Hunger he did a few rounds around Hollywood. Of course, he talks about it in his typical non-fukks given fashion.
