Honestly, I hate Quentin Tarantino, he's a racist douchebag, but is this film actually worth watching fj?
you arent getting down thumbed because you dont like tarentino, you're getting down thumbed because you called him a racist douchebag which he is not. even if you only based your accusation on Django, you have to consider that people used the word nigger all the time back then. even if tarentino did use it a lot throughout the movie, it doesnt make him a racist.
Let me get this straight: So you think because he made a work of art that has tones of racism to it that makes him a racist? Okay, now use your fucking brain for a second. Why would a racist make a movie about a black man killing slave owners? Why would a racist make a movie dedicated entirely to the idea of a Jewish Special Forces team killing Hitler?
inb4 u mad bro?

Mostly from his independent films, I can't remember the name of one I watched, but it had this mexican long haired guy in it who had a motorcycle with machine guns. Basically it was him pushing bullshit propaganda throughout, I don't automatically dislike someone because of an independent movie, but they usually keep me away from watching movies by them. But people who agreed with his agenda will most likely watch a lot of his movies.
Charles Dickens here:
I don't agree with the idea that anything contained in a movie is the inherent opinion of the writers, directors, or actors unless it's something absolutely filthy like "Birth of a Nation."
In Django (and plenty of older Tarantino films), he effectively uses racist dialogue or notions to either develop characters or to show the very wrong-ness of stereotyping or using something like the word "nigger." As much as i love him, I'd consider Dave Chappelle more of a racist for repeatedly using "nigger" as a source of comedy rather than commentary.
I left Django Unchained with a more intimate knowledge of how fucked up slavery was. It's one thing to hear about things in history class, it's another to see a man get torn apart by dogs because he can't fight other slaves to the death anymore.
Whether or not the so-called "mandingo" fights every happened is another lane of conversation, but the point remains.

I can understand that, too, but at that point I have to say there is a difference between documentaries and movies that are clearly for entertainment purposes. I went to Django to laugh and see some wicked action scenes. I don't know anyone who wants to pay 10 bucks to sit in a theater and cry as they watch how fucked up history is.

you're thinking of Machete. the only reason that became a movie was because he created a mock trailer for it to play during his double feature Grindhouse. it was meant to be a joke about stereotypes but the fanbase latched on to it and demanded an actually movie be made
I think to make a story purposefully that way and not denying that you made it that way on purpose, really rustles my jimmies. He made a movie about black slaves killing their slavemasters, seems right to me because the whites were actually dicks to the blacks and they were evil, but come on now, he's making up a story, and it also doesn't help his case that he is Mexican.
I see (roughly) what you're talking about, but something like that seems more to come down from the mechanics of story telling. Russians, Chinese, Iranians, Koreans, etc. fill the roll of "villain" in so many modern day movies that it isn't outright specific rasism so much as it is the idea of "us vs them." Obviously not all russians are not evil people trying to kill james bond, and not all germans are trying to kill bruce willis.
See and I'm not fond of those movies either, I just hate when directors put races differentely in there unless they are historic events, I see what he was trying to prove but what makes me mad is that honestly every race is mistreated. When I was a little white boy in the ghetto I would get treated terribly out the ass. But anyways I'm done commenting, this took too much time I got homework to do.

I imagine the idea was to point out how in some places Mexican immigrants are mistreated by white people and authorities don't give a fuck. This really does happen and not just to Mexicans but really to minorities in general. I don't think it's supposed to be anything pro-Mexican or anti-white people.I don't know the movie so I can't say for certain.

He's such a brilliant actor... I really want him to win an Oscar.

Another similar story/fun fact; Viggo Mortensen (the actor of Aragorn in LOTR) had a scene in the two towers where he kicked a helmet. Peter Jackson was not pleased with the shot the few first shots, so they had to film it a few times. The last shot they did, Viggo Mortensen broke 2 of his toes kicking the helmet, and he screams incredibly high and falls down on his knees. He took advantage of the pain he felt and transformed it into an act. That moment is actually used in the movie.
The following is copied straight from wikipedia about Chester Bennington, lead singer of Linkin Park.
Bennington sustained a wrist injury in October 2007 while attempting to jump off a platform during a show in Melbourne, Australia at the Rod Laver Arena. Despite the injury, he continued to perform the entire show with a broken wrist, before heading to the emergency room.

Will Smith was considered for the role of Django and the part was made specifically for him but he turned it down. Although I like him as an actor, I feel Jamie Foxx pulled it off better.

I noticed this in theaters when his hand was just bleeding during the interrogation in the dining room when you never even saw him punch anything, but man that is somewhat fucked up.
