He's so right, I played an oppressor (a violent nurse in a psychiatric hospital in "Takin' Over the Asylum", in a community theater) and it was straight up one of the hardest things I ever did. I had never worked with that cast before, they treated me wonderfully, and we worked together to make the audience hate my character, and roar with satisfaction when he gets his in the end. And the audience never wanted to meet me after the show. One reviewer, an actor I deeply respect, beamed at me and said, I wanted to punch you in the face. A great compliment in context.

In the film, the audience hears directly from cast and crew members who’ve worked with Tarantino over the years. Regarding the _Django Unchained_ shoot, Foxx recalled DiCaprio fretting about saying the n-word over and over in character. “It’s tough for me to say this,” Foxx said DiCaprio told him on the set. But Samuel Jackson encouraged DiCaprio to set his concerns aside. “Get over it, motherf--r,” Foxx recalled Jackson saying. “It’s just another Tuesday, motherf--r. I don’t give a f- about these motherf--rs. Look who I am.” Foxx seconded that motion, telling DiCaprio to think from the point-of-view of [an enslaver]. “I said, ‘Leo, we’re not friends … this is your property,'” Foxx said. “‘These aren’t humans [to the character]. These are your property.'” And from there on, DiCaprio could handle his lines without issue.” - Showbiz Cheatsheet, Oct. 21, 2019: “How Samuel L.

In truth Leo initially refused to take the role because he didn't want his reputation and career destroyed by being called out as a racist, but Jamie and Samuel assured him it's all good. That is honestly one of my favorite movies Leo was in, and he killed his part. He's been down with us his whole career, which was essentially why he got the role...

[@botondhetyey159]

Yea, I read a lot on how on the fence he was, but I'm glad he budged at the end, it is by far my favourite of his performances. Candy is not exactly a complex character, he is a really plain villain, (which suits spaghetti westerns, this is not a criticism, the genre works best with pretty clear good guys vs bad guys tropes) but somehow it is still a memorable as hell character

[@margaretwordnerd5210]

DiCaprio was apologizing to his costars between scenes, it was so hard for him to treat them that badly and keep saying THAT word. They laughed and said, "Dude, I hear that every day from people who mean it. Chill!" And that scene where Leo grabbed the woman's hair with a bloody hand? He accidentally cut himself breaking a glass and kept going. The horror around the table (especially from the poor actress) was quite sincere. Leo's tough. And so are the non-white actors who can handle a flick as traumatic as Django Unchained, especially the character SLJackson played. That movie hurt so much I watched it in 1/2 hour sessions with breaks in between.

[@whoknowswhocares885]

Samual L Jackson grew up with racial segregation. He always knew the difference between malice and portrayal. He once said that the N word was a harsh word but it had to be said because it use to be said all the time and denying it means we deny harsh reality. Harsh reality he lived through.

What about Christopher Waltz' performance in the very same movie, he played a character that could be considered as "white saviour" but it never felt offensive, it all depends on the writing.

It's one of the greatest acting performance of all time. I couldn't even believe he was Leonardo DiCaprio at the end of the movie.

My man ain't wrong! It takes dedication, heart, and BALLS to do what Leo did. He had to stand on those sets, face to face, say it, and MEAN IT!

Django Unchained is one of the most badass movies ever. I LOVE that movie. Everyone in it is so good. The best is the scene he's talking about. Leo cut his hand when he smashed that glass. That was a real cut. Just bleeding like crazy from his hand, he nails those lines with a demented look on his face. Really incredible stuff. Jamie Foxx has always been one of my favorite actors. He's the original Donald Glover, act, sing, stand-up comedy, he can really do anything. Of course Christoph Waltz was just Christoph Waltz, incredible as always. Everyone's favorite character in that film. Sam Jackson, always amazing. Washington, so beautiful and talented. What a brilliant movie. My personal favorite Tarantino film. 10/10 seriously. If you've not seen it, please do. If you hate Tarantino, his death in that movie is worth watching it for 😄. Ive seen it loads of times, never gets old.

The greatest part of Leonardo's acting in that movie is when he slams his fist on the table and you see blood.
