there's nothing wrong with having an opinion, but you really need to remember the difference between your opinion and a fact.
I have no problem distinguishing opinion from fact.
django is creating conversation around slavery and race relations. this has been proven in this thread, so that's a fact.
This is not a fact. Where are all the conversations about race relations sparked by Django? All ive seen is people debating the movie itself. I have not seen any productive conversations between blacks and whites about race relations that were sparked by Django. There's nothing about the Django-related conversations on this site that is productive or even worth mentioning. These conversations that you keep harping on aren't changing anything. Your attempt to try and use conversations such as this one as some kind of justification or defense for QT exploiting slavery is pathetic.
django is educating people about slavery, and also leading people to research further about slavery on their own. this has been proven in this thread, so that's a fact.
Again, anyone who has been educated on anything regarding slavery watching Django is too stupid and ignorant to acknowledge. Slavery gets talked about every "black history month". Slavery is really the only part of black history that whites acknowledge. Get off of your knees, wipe your mouth, and stop sucking QT off. You're insulting me with this BS.
QT is exploiting slavery with django by making money off it. that's a fact. but it's also a fact that "exploit" is not automatically a negative word.
Obviously "exploit" is not a negative word regarding QT's use of slavery to push his fictional Hollywood blaxploitation movie to you,but that says something about you. You're probably white yourself or a wannabe white at the least.
saying QT made this movie strictly for entertainment purposes is your opinion. i dont agree with you because imo a movie set during slavery is IMPOSSIBLE to strictly make for entertainment purposes because it's way too emotionally charged of a topic to be strictly entertainment (as you can see) so there was definitely an specific intention with using slavery. but again, thats MY opinion.
Your opinion is invalid. QT just proved that you can make a movie using slavery as the backdrop purely for entertainment purposes, yet here you are saying that it's impossible. Django is a fictional movie, it's purely entertainment. I'll ask you again, what did you learn about slavery watching Django? Please answer the question and expose just how ignorant you are.
saying django was not made with the intention, at least in part, to educate, is also your opinion.
Yes it's my opinion. It's an opinion based on common sense. In your opinion, what parts of the movie do you think were meant to be educational? Go ahead and expose yourself.
it is also your opinion that django IS NOT educating anyone about slavery, but the evidence clearly does not support that assertion when you see people posting in this very thread talking about what they learned from django and/or learned as a result of watching django. so thats pretty straightforward.
No, what I said was that anyone who "learned" anything about slavery watching Django is an idiot. I haven't seen anyone point out something that they've learned about slavery from Django. Point me to the posts in this thread where people are claiming to have been taught something about slavery watching Django. Again, the movie does more to miseducate than it does to educate. There are clear inaccuracies in the movie.
Miss me with that "that's what so good about art" BS too. The thing about art is that anybody can call anything that they do "art". I can take a shyt on a piece of paper and call it art. Django is a movie, it's "art" just like the movie Soul Plane is art. You're only attempting to make it more than what it is to defend and justify QT exploiting slavery. Your agenda here is clear.
i find it interesting though. is it QT making the movie that pisses people off or the movie itself that pisses people off, or both? for example, what if a black person made this movie? would that individual be labeled a "sell-out" in your opinion?
The movie doesn't piss me off. White people are going to be white people, this is what they do. I'm disappointed in the people who are caping for QT, defending him at all cost. I'm disappointed in people like you who run from duck and dodge the truth. I'm disappointed in black people who throw other blacks under the bus in defense of this movie. Had a black man directed Django my feelings would be the same. Yes, the director would be a sell out. Django pimps slavery and black people as a whole. There's no getting around that.
for finally coming to your senses
for who? Someone who has no education?? To say that Django made us talk about slavery so it did some good......
are you a dumbass??? If this is the type of movie that FINALLY makes you talk about slavery ...
when did this become the topic? django is supposed to change school curriculums now?
