no self respecting black person can like Django after reading this.

[Mike Otherz]

People are supposed to be grateful for movies? I watch them shyts for entertainment. I was entertained during Django so I'm good. fukk all that films humanity garbage.

oh indeed. i said on an entertaiment level, it passes the test. but this article is by a famous actor, jesses williams from greys anatomy, and is replying to the claims Tarantino is making on the films behalf, and who has been patting himself on the back about the film being about us dealing slavery. just call it what it is. entertainment. simple as that people. nothing deeper going on.

no one even remembers jamies character cause he is so boring and one dimensional. as for kerry washington? lolz.

Is really that hard to say you don't like the film without accusing us who do like film of self hate?

what i want to see though. the 20 best black directors , male and female, get the chance to do a slavery film. hollywood wont let us do that. once we have dealt with this issue in all its complexity, then QT can come around and make his black superslave film for the mindless. Django is like a chief keef take on slavery, unthinking and plenty of white hipsters and immature ninjaz loving it. i want a film that is like a kendrick lammar take on slavery.

spike lee, charles stone, steve mcqueen (has one coming out), darnell martin, dee rees. we need to see these cats with an opportunity. we see far better representations in art like sara walker etc. in film, forget it. why are our most talented black artists not given the green light to wrestle with these dangerous topics? but QT can make a silly fanboy cartoon? we as a black family have to deal with it, before a caac can come and have their silly fun.

It was a great movie imo, but Samuel L Jackson not getting a Oscar nomination really bothers the fukk outa me....

^^^ Don't mind the cac's who try to stop black thought ^^^

But the same fools who tried to say Django was educational are the same dudes who run this part of the website so

People were saying Django was educational?
It was a spaghetti western/revenge movie...enjoy or criticize it for what it was and not what you or anyone else was hoping it would be.

 

[DaRealness]

When it came out over here, a lot of black folk I know walked out.

Article makes good points, but people on this site for the most part will never hear a bad word said against Tarantino.

The main character in a spaghetti western didn't have much dialogue?

The main character in a spaghetti western didn't have much dialogue?

just because QT said it was a spaghetti western doesnt make it true. The movie didn't feel like a spaghetti western at all the tone, cinematography e.t.c nothing screamed western hell did the movie even have any classic texas style standoffs/shootout? That wud be a no. If u want to be one of those simpletons that rationalises django's poor characterisation as "its a hallmark for spaghetti westerns to have protagonists say nothing" then go ahead. You will fit right at home with the crowd that QT is tryin to sell on the notion he should be applauded, that django unchained brought ppl to discuss slavery.

 

[Heretic]

I dont know what people were expecting in a slave movie. Was it a serious film? No. It was as serious as kill bill or inglorious basterds. I think the bigger question should be, when does hollywood make a serious movie focusing on early slavery. I think if that gets done then we'll see Django in a much different light, but I don't think we as a whole are ready for that.

 

[Fillerguy]

You really expected QT fans to read that shyt

jesseWilliams in a series of tubes


this is the scientific ether we have been waiting for. on an entertainment level, film gets a pass, everything else about it is foulish. jesse williams goes like Nas on stillmatic and tells tarantino to come out of his throne.


only the cacs in this movie getting love.

science on on a subjective movie?
