As a German, I'm glad that Christoph Waltz didn't have to play the typically evil German! He was great in this movie!

[@JuandeFucaU]

I heard Christoff Waltz is part Austrian and part German..... so..... maybe this role was more of his Austrian side..... and Inglorious Basterds was more of his German side? if you didn't think that was very funny..... don't blame it on you being German..... that's racist. sorry..... still too soon.....? (I can get away with rude German jokes because some of my favourite beer and sausages and short leather pants are from Bavaria...... prost!)

[@helloweener2007]

@@JuandeFucaU Christoph Waltz sees himself as Austrian because he was born in Vienna and grew up in Austria. Because of the laws at the time, that you get the citicenship of your father, he was a German citizen and not an Austrian. He got his Austrian citizenship in 2010. So he was only a German citizen when he play in Inglorious Bastards. But I don't think that US viewers distinguish between German and Austrian. They hear someone speaking German or something that sounds like German and then the guy must be German.

[@BigSleepyOx]

As bad as Candy was, I gotta go with Stephen as "the worst". I realize that it's not his own fault. He's lived as a slave for his lots of decades, and has accepted his role, and has grown to love his master more than his own people (Malcolm X made a famous speech about this, his "House Negros" speech), but still... Samuel L Jackson, in an interview, was asked about being cast for Stephen, and he said Tarantino sent him the script, then called him to see what he thought about it, and Jackson said, "So, you want me to play the worst negro in the history of films?" Tarantino said, "Uh, yeah." Jackson said, "OK". lol

[@MrUndersolo]

Stevens is the worst because he knows his enemies and his 'allies' better than anyone in the movie. He can play both sides and he is the catalyst for a lot of death.

[@spartanical]

Stephen was a sociopath. Being black didn't mean anything to him beyond the practical concerns and circumstances of life. He felt no comradery with other black people. Sociopaths care about no one at all... they aren't capable. However what they will care about in a superficial way is whatever can benefit them. And in matters of people, it will be those who are powerful and can lend them some power by association. In Stephen's mind, he was living his best life because of his association with Candie. If Candie had ever stopped being useful, Stephen could easily turn on him.

[@Biggiiful]

Nah. You're completely missing half of it. You're describing "fake Stephen." Real Stephen was no "victim of circumstance." Real Stephen was 100% conscience and aware of what he was doing. Real Stephen was 100% aware of who Candy was. And he knew Candy was his ticket to power and control. Real Stephen only shows himself 4 times in the film. Once when he is telling Candy that Shultz and Django are playing him....second when he's asking Hildi if she knew Django, another when he's telling Django their selling him to the Australians, and finally when Django confronts him at the end and Stephen drops the act and throws his cane down. For the rest of it, he acts like the "cooky old house N". But he's actually the one running the whole plantation....by manipulating Candy. He's a slave yes, but other than that....he's the brains the of the whole operation. He found his way into that position and used it to his advantage....and CHOSE to harm other black people way more than necessary to keep his position. He 100% knew what he was doing. It was 100% his fault what kind of person he was. He was the smartest person on that plantation.

[@redviper6805]

Schultz had never seen the brutal aspect of slavery before. The memory of that poor fellow being torn away by the dogs shook him up badly. It was eating him alive.

[@playfulpanthress]

Ha! I see what you did there!!

[@LordVolkov]

"He gonna stay in the big house?!" Sam Jackson is incredible as Steven. I love the way he drops his facade at the end, but keeps his hatred for Django.

[@AtticusFink]

So, the theme song was originally recorded for the 1966 Spaghetti Western, Django. The title for the Tarantino movie is somewhat of a joke; when the first Django came out, it was a huge hit overseas. So much so, that a bunch of unofficial "sequels" were made (thanks in part to very lax laws in Italy regarding sequels), but with no connection to the first, other than a character named Django (if even that). Django was such a big hit in Germany, that any western released with Franco Nero, the original's star (who also shows up in this as the man that ask Django Freeman to spell his name), was retroactively titled as a Django film. Hence, another Django movie having nothing to do with the first, other than a main character with that name. bonus trivia: the name "Django" comes from jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. He's well known for his unique play-style that he developed after losing the use of two of his fingers on his left hand in an accident. It's a bit tongue-in-cheek, as the Django from the film also has his hands badly injured, while still needing to sling a gun. Okay, I think if I type "Django" one more time, my keyboard will implode.

[@biguy617]

I love the chemistry between Christoph Waltz and Jamie Fox. Leonardo and Samuel L Jackson are great as the villains.

[@KalleKilponen]

41:00 As for the happy ending, I remember reading that Broomhildas last name Von Shaft was a reference to the detective character Shaft. Implying that he was a direct descendant of Hildi and Django. Tarantinos way of writing a "happily ever after" ending.

[@petemcfeet28]

This is a really great reaction Jen. Most reactions skip by the Broom Hilda story which is the true catalyst for the entire movie. The bond between our two heroes, and more importantly why they are BOTH willing to lay down their lives to see it through. We all know why Django is in this all the way, but the Broom Hilda story let's us see why Dr. King Schultz puts all of his chips in to help. He finally has a worthy German cause worth risking his life for that is much more important than a bounty. Great job!

"Siegfried" the hero from the "Brünhild" story is near invulnerable after a bath in the blood of a dragon he killed. Also his name literally translates as "Winpeace" to English. There was a lot symbolism to choose this mythological story by Tarantino.

Its technically not a western since it takes place before the wild west era. (About 7 or so years. Its generally acknowledged that the wild west started around 1865 and ending around 1890 or 1912. But it is generally disputed but main thing is that there are slaves which outlawed after the civil war during the 1860s and most of the famous wild west era was the 1870s and 1880s

The scene were Candy hits down with his hammer on his hand, that was real. Leo kept his cool and ran with it. What a legend and great performance. Love this movie and in a Tarantino fashion it has a crazy finale.

[@garethlawton5278]

He didn't hit a hammer on his hand did he? He slammed his palm down onto the table hard as he shouts which was in the script. Slamming his hand down onto an actual glass was not how ever. He did indeed choose not to freak out that he'd sliced his hand open and despite clearly things having gone wrong neither Leo nor Quinten wanted to stop the roll Leo was on so it just continued. Safe to say Djano's wife was not keen on the whole addition of blood given Leo proceeds to wipe it all over her.

[@BigSleepyOx]

41:09 - As for why Schultz didn't "whip around and shoot" the other guy, I think two things. One, was that Shultz only had his small pistol on him, which only has one or two bullets (I think two, because the pistol has two barrels, one on top of the other), so he may have shot the second guy, but he'd be out of bullets after that. But also, Schultz has been a lawman, executing legal bounties. But after shooting Candy, he's just committed a murder, so he now faces the prospect of being on the run for the rest of his days, wanted for murder, and maybe didn't want to go through all that, so...

How much 75 dollars was back then? I think I read somewhere that during the Wild West, which was a little later than this, 1870's rather than the 1850's of the movie, a month's pay for a normal worker would have been about 18 dollars. So 75 dollars would have been several month's pay, maybe around half a year's pay. The movie A million ways to die in the West was not far off when they had one character whack his son over the head and tell him to get his hat off and pay respects, "He has a dollar bill. I've never seen one before!"

The first actor ever to play the series character Django was Franco Nero this was back in 1966. He played the role again in 1987's Django Strikes Again. And you can glimpse him in a cameo in this film (though not as the title character because Tarantino decided to switch Django's race in order to be all woke and relevant and stuff). ALL of these films (and several Clint Eastwood westerns) find their source in YOJIMBO (1961) a samurai classic from Japan. You might also enjoy Django---Prepare a Coffin (1968) starring Terence Hill as Django. NONE of these should be confused with Django Reinhardt (1910-1953) the Jazz Guitarist and composer The name Django is, like Reinhardt himself , of Romany (Gypsy) origin.

[@kermitcook8498]

Would have loved Jamie to have done the Bass Reeves story. Real US Marshal for 35 years. Bass was, I believe, the basis for Lone Ranger and for the character Clint Eastwood portrays in Hang em High. One case even had to track and arrest his own son. I still have a problem watching QT movies. He's the Sam Peckinpah of this generation. I don't mind Jamie being a serious actor.
