What's your intro song? It sounds cool.

[@shainewhite2781]

Christoph Waltz took home his second Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

[@nsasupporter7557]

For this movie??

[@Tomoesong]

@@nsasupporter7557 Yes. 2 movies in hollywood. Two Oscars. One as a Nazi officer, One as a anti racist.

[@lewisward2604]

Based of the sensitivity of the material included, I think Tarantino handled it absolutely fantastically and created one of the most cinematic experiences ever.

[@tommiller4895]

The man who asks Django if he can spell his name (after the Mandingo fight in the Club where he and Shultz meet Calvin Candi) is the original Django, Franco Nero. During filming Leonardo had trouble saying the "N" word. Samual Jackson and Jamie Foxx convinced him that it was essential to his Character.

[@merchillio]

If I remember correctly, they told him “that’s just another Tuesday for us”

[@blakemcelrath54]

They told him to get the F over it you're playing a despicable person it's not you it's the character.

[@ItsLexy]

Love how Calvin Candie basically orchestrates his own death (and subsequently the deaths of his men, his sister and the destruction of his plantation) by refusing to take a win gracefully. King was ready to walk away at a loss, but Calvin kept pushing him and provoking him until his own pride rose up to strike at the injustice.

[@akselmani]

The thing is, it wasn't even a loss, they got for what they came for. The only possible loss was that the cover they worked hard on was blown, but both Schultz and Django didn't have the ego to care about that anyway.

[@dennislittau6320]

I wish Tarantino would make 3-4 more movies with Christoph Waltz, that guy is so fucking good!

[@RagingButtafly23]

Ive been waiting for a reactor to say "he shot the sheriff but he didn't shoot the deputy". I've watched like 10 Django reactions and no one scratched that itch for me. Thank you sir.

[@stevenvicijan4338]

It's a " nerduo ue te " moment. Long time awaiting.

[@cinemarchaeologist]

The music you liked from the very beginning of the movie is the theme to the original DJANGO from 1966--one of the more important spaghetti Westerns. International copyrights being what they were at the time, that film's success spawned dozens of unofficial "sequels" that went on for many years. Tarantino is a fan and adopted that tradition here, and, in fact, has referenced the original DJANGO more than once in his movies (the ear-cutting scene in RESERVOIR DOGS being another example). Franco Nero, who played the original Django, has a cameo in this movie--he's the guy with DiCaprio during the initial slave match; when Jamie Foxx tells him the "D" in "Django" is silent, he says "I know."

[@robertt9825]

So many good lines in this: "You're free? You mean you wanna dress like that?"

[@meikusje]

The fact that Leonardo DiCaprio didn't win an Oscar for his performance in this is a crime.

[@cflournoy1529]

The mere fact that he never won an Oscar until The Revenant is the real crime.

[@TimoRutanen]

Do they ever nominate more than one supporting actor from the same film? In any case, it'd been a tough contest with mr. Waltz

[@Mowingthefrontlawn]

@@cflournoy1529Which I would argue isn’t even his best performance. But that’s just me.

[@davidedwards1705]

20:40 The "Hotbox" was one of the cruelest punishments; it was a metal box partially covered in the ground with a metal lid. A person only had enough room to lay down cramped. The Southern sun would bet down on the metal heating it up to cause burns as well as heating up the air making breathing difficult. One usually stayed in it for a week. Legend is Leo DiCaprio felt so bad for his treatment of the crew that he personally apologized to each one of them. 25:25 Right here Leo smashed a glass with his hand. That is REAL BLOOD and REAL ANGER and our Leo kept on acting as if nothing was wrong.

[@meanmutton]

Leo DiCsprio, Sam Jackson, and Chris Waltz were all fucking AMAZING in this.

[@tommiller4895]

Quetin wrote a sequel to this Movie that wasn't made. It teamed up Django and Zorro. It was eventually released in a graphic novel. It would have been a great Movie!

[@Darth-Lesbian]

“I’m sure he’ll be revealed soon” Leonardo DiCaprio breaking through dimensions like

[@sherylsmallwood-valdivia5375]

It just hit me that Broomhildas bio father was most likely the German slaveowner she was born on. That's why she most likely was given special privileges such as learning a second language.

[@Darth-Lesbian]

What I love about Stephen is that he seems like the one actually in charge when he and Calvin are talking privately. It comes off as a nearly grandfatherly relationship even, with Calvin raptly paying attention to grandpops advice and wisdom but pretending to be the man in charge around guests. Which does make sense as he’s probably been around his entire life. As horrible as they are it’s a really interesting relationship 😂

[@rg3388]

I love that in his final moments, Stephen recalls THE USUAL SUSPECTS, NEVADA SMITH and THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY, and this is after Django recalls KILL BILL: Vol. 1.

[@dabe1971]

5:22 A cameo I think the younger generation probably miss - U. S. Marshall Gill Tatum, played by Tom Wopat AKA Luke Duke, one of the 'Dukes of Hazzard'.#YeeHa

[@claremanion6523]

Totally agree - this is a fantastic film! Between the great writing and exceptional performances, this is one of Tarantino's best.

[@CasualNerdReactions]

It really was. It MIGHT be my favorite so far. I’ll have to reevaluate my feelings after a little time.

[@daveemerson6549]

There were apparently a few deleted scenes that Sam Jackson has talked about in interviews that expanded the Calvin Candy / Steven relationship that made Steven much more of an active part of the events (a la the scene where they're sipping brandy together)

[@LordVolkov]

Steven is Sam's most evil role. It's such a brilliant performance.

[@TheNativeEngine]

Such an interesting villain.

[@bethscott4330]

Mandingo fighting “appalling?” That’s an understatement lol

[@CasualNerdReactions]

This is true.

[@jamesm1]

Tarantino apparently has a FIVE HOUR directors cut of this movie in his vault lol.

[@Sharken-ob9gu]

I wonder when it will be released...not any time soon 😅

[@bethscott4330]

Do you remember Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Bastards? He was the SS officer who Brad Pitt carved a swastika on his forehead at the end of the movie.

[@bdsilduce]

Leo did actually cut his hand slamming the glass, but the the scene where he rubbed the blood on Broomhilda's face was improvised after Leo's performance in that scene, and was of course not real blood.

[@ysmith494]

Just imagine answering a Craigs List add and the Seller is Calvin Candy. 😂

[@jpd9h2i7]

The theme song is from one of the original Italian Django movies.

[@botz77]

Leo cut the hell out of himself and just used it. Great actor.

[@JustCallMeMeghan]

I still haven't decided if Django or Inglorious Basterds is my fav Tarantino film.

[@nsasupporter7557]

Either one, just please don’t say Pulp Fiction is your favorite… that movie is so overrated! I’m so sick of people worshipping that movie

[@jamesm1]

This movie is hands down the best theater experience I've ever had. Packed mixed race house, and everyone got totally immersed immediately and we all howled at the funny bits. This elderly african american couple next to me about fell out of their chairs laughing at the jonah hill bag scene lol.

[@standup4change]

I would definitely recommend watching Jamie Foxx in "Ray"! One of the greatest biopic's ever made!!

[@Augustus_Imperator]

Great movie as always with Tarantino, even though it's a bit more "all over the place" and less orderly than his usual. Di Caprio is stunning here, this has to be his best interpretation yet, he's oozing the character he's portraying out of every fiber of his body, the same way Christoph Waltz did with Landa and Uma Thurman did with the bride.

[@cjpolett2055]

"When I finish all 10 of them" There's a few more! He wrote but did not direct True Romance which is pretty darn good. (He's also credited for Natural Born Killers but he rejects it as he hates how much it was re-written) He wrote/directed and starred in 1/4 of Four Rooms with Tim Roth. And he wrote and directed 1/2 of From Dusk til Dawn and Grindhouse with Robert Rodriguez (also "guest directed" one scene in Sin City. Barely worth mentioning but if I don't that'll be the only reply) And his first film was only 69 minutes 1987 pre-Reservoir Dogs called My Best Friends Birthday no one ever watches or talks about.

[@CasualNerdReactions]

Yes, but he’s been pretty vocal about only directing 10 films and which ones he considers a part of that 10. That said, I do plan to react to all the films you listed once I finish the last the last two of his directed films.

[@EvelyntMild]

I got way too much of a guffaw out of that 'I shot the sheriff' joke 😂

[@BubbaCoop]

30:39 He was also one of the masked men before the dentist cart was blown up.

[@jaydakang]

Django became their world version of the loan ranger. A black lawman that was an ex slave.

[@monumatt]

my favorite tarantino movie, a masterpiece!!!!

[@cashflowhustles]

Have you seen The Good Bad and Ugly? That's what QT is mimicking with the opening music. I believe his name is Ennio Morricone if I'm not mistaken. QT is a film Scholar.

[@laurasmith2522]

I love all Quentins movies, this is one of my favorites !

[@arizona1882]

I dont know if its been pointed out yet but at 26:15 Yes Leo cut his hand and delivered his lines that is till they could cut cams and get him to medical. Everyone loved the act though so for continuty they went and added fake blood so Leo wouldnt be smearing real blood on his co-star^^💜

[@debbyemerson3877]

4:55 really earning your screen name Cody 😅 Love it

[@merchillio]

I laughed so much at that

[@danholmesfilm]

22:55 i almost spit out my drink lol

[@delskioffskinov]

I lost my twin sister a few years ago and miss her like hell!

[@kevinmassey1164]

This is my 2nd favorite QT film. It’s so good

[@kamkelevra]

In case you didn't know Jamie Foxx is a very good horseman involved in the rodeo scene for many years and the horse he is riding in the movie is his own personal horse

[@jlerrickson]

Yes, that's the famous scene. In answer to your unspoken question, unequivocally no, Leo did not smear his own blood on Kerry's face. He used fake blood to perform that part of the scene. As much as I adore Waltz's character, he ultimately wasn't a good ally to Django. At the critical moment, he couldn't let go of his own anger and disgust to ensure the safety of his partner and his partner's wife.

[@salli3929]

1st guy killed is Ajax from the Warriors I just realized

[@stevenvicijan4338]

Nice change of pace after watching "Amadeus" It's definitely a lot to take from this film. Yes, yes, and some more yes . . .

[@timhotep2112]

My favorite Tarantino film by a close margin. Love the reaction.

[@Sejjjee]

One of my favorite movies thanks for the reaction! ❤ 12 years a slave is also a great film

[@TheNativeEngine]

Stephen has too be the most evil out of the entire movie's villains.

[@robovike]

The Marley reference pleases me.

[@austinpena5605]

This film showed why Leo is my favorite actor. Dedicated and flawless with it

[@jcarlovitch]

17:50 where’s that guys academy award

[@Palalalamedis]

Loved the film and love this video. Thanks!

[@McGovney1286]

Never really see anyone addressing Don Johnson doing great too.

[@SesameStreetMeat]

That blood splatter on the cotton is just 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾

[@chucknorris2266]

You should really react to his other western masterpiece . It's called " The hateful eight " it was made shortly after they made Django

[@CasualNerdReactions]

Planning on it! It hasn’t won a poll, so I’m just going to watch it this week for a targeted April 13th release date.

[@darrylcarden1851]

Hopefully True Romance is also on the list. Tarantino was only involved with the writing, though. Still an amazing movie that needs a watch. 👍🏻

[@CasualNerdReactions]

Definitely will be on the polls once I finish the last two directed films.

[@Darth-Lesbian]

Hey you have a twin! That’s pretty cool. My mom is a twin.

[@hassetjifrebro8222]

Fun fact about Dr Schultz. During the 1848 German revolutions, nationalism, liberalism and freedom of speech etc. A ton of liberal and republicans were exiled to the US. So he's a liberal revolutionary listening to the song of his home country and revolution being perverted by the lady playing it at that moment all while he's thinking about the poor man eaten by dogs. And so he snaps

[@sheryldalton8965]

Charles Barclay is channeling Steven the butler lol

[@DrKingSchultz1859]

Thank you

[@cflournoy1529]

You are hilarious!!!😂😂😂

[@jessesaffold1165]

i love this movie

[@k.t.5405]

min 4:57 😆😆😆 Tarantino ended at Django...

[@dylanbollinger6872]

Denis V films next

[@harumistborn]

Tarantino doesn't miss.

[@Cifer77]

Yeeesssss! What I love mentioning about this movie, is the reception Tarantino got after it's release. He got a lot of flak for the rampant use of the N word, and in pretty much every interview he responded with the same basic sentiment, "What the hell did you expect? It was 1858 deep south!" Not only was this a couple years before the US Civil War, Mississippi in particular was brutal. It had the highest disparity in population in the whole Confederacy, it was about 90% blacks and 10% whites. Slavery is already cruel and brutal, but you don't maintain control over a population of people so much larger than your own, without being EXTREMELY brutal, and cruel.

[@jaydakang]

R to mark runaways

[@jenniferh2397]

4:56 I am ashamed for you...

[@CasualNerdReactions]

You’re ashamed of pure gold?

[@jenniferh2397]

fair. @@CasualNerdReactions

[@anamewhichisnottaken]

Incest was quite common among siblings in wealthy families in the south in order to “keep the bloodline pure”. That is why Calvin acts the way he does around his sister.

[@sallyatticum]

Booo! You cut my friend out of the reaction!

[@CasualNerdReactions]

Please give me a list of movies/scenes your friend is in so I can be sure to not make this mistake again. 😭

[@gallendugall8913]

As with all of his "historical" pieces this is very "X-Treme" while ignoring the true horrors of that society and its institutions. The landed elites in the south considered themselves new nobility and therefore above everyone and the law to a degree that repulsed most people. Slavery as practiced in the US was much more subtly horrific than what is depicted here, as it saw itself as a more enlightened form of its predecessor, Caribbean slavery. Islamic slavery remains the most brutal form to the point of being aggressively genocidal.

[@veggiesaremurder]

Lucky me! I've been watching some reacts to Inglorious Basterds (already saw yours: awesome, btw) and Django Unchained for the last couple of days. Then you pop up on my recommendations! Your facial expressions are gonna be top-tier hilarious! 😂😂😂

[@veggiesaremurder]

'Hateful 8' is fantastic, but even as a person who absolutely LOVES all things morbid (dark humor, over-the-top movie violence, etc.), there's a scene that made me feel physically ill because of just how cruel it is. Quentin Tarantino managed to make me feel sympathy for a racist, and disgust for the cruelty of a man seeking vengeance.
