My Mom Watches DJANGO UNCHAINED (2012) | Movie Reaction | First Time Watching

Nominated for 5 Oscars including Best Picture, but won for Best Original Screenplay and Supporting Actor Christoph Waltz.

My friend Chris played "Willard" whose wife made the defective masks. Hilarious. He is in three additional scenes later, as a different character, one with Kerry Washington in the hot box, and then gets shot up in the end. I *love* Jim Croce and was startled when they used "I Got A Name" in this.

[@jesterssketchbook]

im constantly impressed by Mom's breadth of knowledge - she knew the names of manson family members, and in this one she knew the famous painting that tarantino was referencing! Never seen a single other YT'ber even notice that!

[@davidvainqueur2482]

C'mon, the "two weeks in Boston" joke was pretty funny. Btw, love your reactions. You two rock! Cheers from 🇨🇦

[@vincegamer]

Kerry Washington has gone on record saying he did NOT rub real blood on her face. After he accidentally cut his hand, they finished the cut and treated him and used fake blood for the following bits - which they also shot without the fake blood so Tarantino could decide later if he wanted to keep the injury in the movie

[@lemurdream]

That was a really good, "That's a bingo!" impression.

I love the dynamic of you being a movie-file watching great movies with your mom reacting to them for the first time. Really get to appreciate both the awe of a first time reaction with the praise given from multiple watches

[@tankmaster1018]

It's really a great direction to take a reaction channel. Also feels way more honest, because I would be willing to bet that the large majority of channels that react to movies lie about never having seen them before. ESPECIALLY channels where they are clearly into and knowledgable about movies, but then turn around and act like it's their first time watching some of the most famous and well known films of all time. Oh so you can point out how beautiful the cinematography and editing for a particular film is, then turn around any try to act like you haven't seen something like Jurassic Park, Star Wars, or anything directed by Christopher Nolan? Right... So much better to acknowledge you've seen the film before, but that you're watching it with someone who genuinely hasn't.

[@TheLadyLuck523]

Bravo to Jen for making it through this! It is such a good movie but yes at times my stomach was in knots at the casual cruelty and dehumanizing treatment shown. Loved your reaction and insightful commentary of you two. Thanks for the watch!

[@jamesodonnell3636]

"Is Quentin Tarantino a racist?" is one of those questions asked by people who just don't like his films. He has created so many *great* roles for African-Americans it's ridiculous, and his Black characters are usually the smartest people in the movie. Furthermore, Tarantino is one of the few American celebrities to call out police "murders" of unarmed African-Americans -- and that's just the word he used.

[@Mildcat743]

I don't think it's possible to be racist and have an over 30 year working relationship with Samuel L Jackson.

[@WickIsFollowYou]

Nowadays the world is much more classist

[@Africaisthefuture-zh8bo]

The original commenter is right.

[@tony020480]

“He employs black people” has never been a good argument for what’s going to be an argument about what’s in someone’s heart. “Dead n****er storage” sounds like he needed an excuse to say it. Maybe I’m wrong but, It’s not like it’s a remarkable line or anything. It’s sounds like when Steven Crowder saw a chance to say “fried chicken and watermelon” over and over again and he took it. Not saying Tarantino is or isn’t a racist, though.

[@Dooklawz]

I can honestly say that's it's been a very long time since the loss/death of a character in a movie put a lump in my throat like losing Dr. King Schultz in this great movie. That says a lot about how powerful of a performance he gave us in this. Loved him.... excellent movie

[@LenaDee666]

The only one of Tarantino's movies that I actually managed to watch in theater, insane how brutal yet entertaining it was on the big screen, especially the last big scene when everybody just gets shot at the house. So crazy! But my friend and I were also kinda waiting for the feet to come into play🤣

[@sallyatticum]

A friend of mine was one of the guys they show coming into the house in that one scene and then getting shot up (not the very last one). That scene was intense and took a loong time to set up with multiple large squibs. Over two weeks to film it, he said. I told him I may have laughed when he got shot in the knee. He said QT said they needed to find ways to shoot Chris even more.

[@darth856]

I would say Stephen's interest is first and foremost self-preservation, rather than pleasing the white man. That's just a means to an end. He managed to climb to the top of the hierarchy at Candyland, and he doesn't care that he had to be horrible to his own people to do it.

[@animetrashamvs]

I also feel like given his age he might've helped raise Calvin. They seemed close and even beyond the guise of self preservation Stephen seemed to have Calvin's best interests in mind.

[@shayasims]

naw it was about pleasing the white man lol he’s one of those

[@71lizgoeshardt]

For some reason, the way Leo pronounces "turtle shell tabletop" just gets me every time. No denying his acting ability.

[@StGimbles]

just want to say, LOVED your Hans Landa impression at the beginning. Spot on, sir.

[@lizd2943]

Christoph Waltz's performance was great, but Samuel L Jackson is the one who should have gotten the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. Stephen is a devastating portrayal of just how warped the system of slavery can make someone.

[@elusiveDEVIANT]

No. Samuel is not an actor, he's a character actor. He only ever plays the same type of person. Much like Ryan Reynolds. He doesn't act, just plays himself.

[@lavinder11]

​@@elusiveDEVIANTThat's not what character actor is. Johnny Depp is a character actor, so arr Helena Bonham, Christophe Waltz, Steve Buscemi, etc. Jackson is willingly typecasted because he's done most of his straight acting early in his career. Even so, he deserved the Oscar for this one over Waltz.

[@DirtSpud]

​@@lavinder11dude really went "gotteem" when one of the greatest character actors is also in the movie, Christoph Walts.

[@cavaliothorson7755]

This is my favorite movie and I regrettably didn't see it in theaters because I didn't know it was going to be my favorite movie.

[@irollerblade13]

Django is in my top 5 favorite movies all time. I named my dog DJENGA the D is silent... and the A is because she is a female. She also walks with out a leash she stays DJENGA Unchained.

[@Curraghmore]

Zoe Bell, one of the stars of Tarantino's 'Deathproof' and stunt double for Uma Thurman in the 'Kill Bill' films also appears here in a tiny part. When the group traveling to Candyland come across the slave in a tree surrounded by dogs, Zoe Bell is one of the bystanders wearing a red bandana over her face and carrying an axe across her shoulders, and she doesn't say a word. Then in a later scene where the dog handlers and others are gathered together before Django busts in through the door, Zoe Bell is sitting on a window sill looking at some slides through a slide viewer, still masked.

Quentin Tarantino wrote the Character of Dr King Schultz especially for Christoph Waltz and my holy God he delivered a brilliant performance.

[@nsasupporter7557]

Leonardo DiCaprio really cut his hand at the table. But he didn’t break character

[@rxtsec1]

So I heard the original part of Landa was offered to Leonardo Di caprio but he turned it down. Then from a gift from heaven he found Christoph waltz for the part who won his Oscar. As a result when Leo was asked to play Candy he took the part regretting turning down the part for Landa in Inglorious Basterds

[@lavinder11]

At that time, he was opposed to playing villains. I think Tarantino partially wrote Once Upon a Time for Leo.

[@robertnichol3669]

fun trivia.....Jamie Foxx and Tarantino took Micheal Landon's outfit from Bonanza (Landon's Little Joe Character) directly for Foxx's outfit. Same colour and cut of jacket that Landon wore on the show....its not a perfect match...but the green colour is a spot on match....just a bit of trivia..supposedly Foxx was a fan.

[@FoxtrotOscar123]

I don't know if he was trying to sound like an Australian but Tarantino's accent was more South African than Ozzy.

[@jamedraa8472]

Great reaction. A note, the PEOPLE were ENSLAVED. It was brought to my attention that referring to enslaved people as "slaves" (unconsciously) limits their humanity. So it's something I've worked to do. As brutal as this movie is, the actual institution of chattel slavery was worse.

[@GaryLBlakeley]

Triva: Franco Nero played Django in original Django movie from 1966.

[@MorriganAtwood]

If you have a chance to read the screenplay, I highly recommend it. Tarantino writes very readable screenplays and I find reading them just as if not more enjoyable than watching his movies. But in this case there is a lot more to take in. 1) You get Django's thoughts and internal dialogue more. 2) Waltz specifically asked for a role to be written for him that he felt was a good man versus what he just played in Inglorious Basterds. You can see signs that Schutz was cleaned up just a smidge more when the movie was shot. Not in huge ways, but new bits you get include him losing his patience a little with Django early on because it's hard for him to understand WHY Django doesn't just know some things at first. Also he squares up with Big Daddy at the plantation as they are leaving, and lets him know if he or any of his "regulator" friends try to follow him they won't be going home. So he knew he was in the Klan and was ready to lay them all out if they tried what they did. 3) There is a whole storyline from Hildy's POV from when she was sold first to when Candie buys her. It is cool to read all of this and to get to know her more as a character, but I get why it was cut -- to tighten an already long story, to focus in on one POV, and also I genuinely did not need to see this character being abused for an hour of screentime.

[@laurasmith2522]

The horse that did the tricks, is Jamie Foxes hirse wwho he trained himself

[@barblessable]

DiCaprio had to be reassured by Samuel L , he did not like to use the "n" word, till Sam pointed out that it was the way people spoke back then. Jamie Foxx used his own horse in the movie , he is a fine singer /musician check him out in RAY bio pic of Ray Charles.

[@rg3388]

I love how at the end Sam Jackson gives us in rapid succession THE USUAL SUSPECTS, NEVADA SMITH and THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY. KILL BILL is also echoed when people are told to leave except for one.

[@JustinHamsley]

Correct, Samuel L. Jackson played Shaft in both "Shaft" (2000) and "Shaft" (2019), which is a sequel to the first, though it focuses on his son. The first is an alright but forgettable movie, but the latter is a worthwhile watch. It's an entertaining homage to the Shaft character, and luckily you don't have to watch the first to follow the second.

FYI, "Mandingo" is not a slur, it is the slightly misspelled name of an ethnic group in West Africa, the Mandinka. Their homeland on the Western African coast was a regular target of slave raids, hence a lot of slaves belonged to this ethnic group. And since they had a reputation as a warrior people, someone made up the idea of gladiatorial fights between Mandingo slaves. Tarantino's inspiration is a 1975 exploitation movie of that name.

[@lavinder11]

It is a slur today, similar tl how "buck" was back then.

[@timmycollins7665]

If you really think about it Steven was probably the slave that actually raised Calvin Candy. Although he is a very despised character for this movie, he is for sure one of the most clever people in the movie. He actually gives Calvin all of his info while pretending to be dumb in front of those around Candy as not to offend in front of them. Steven fakes very low intelligence and even a weak feable disability. A lot of people got very offended because of the use of the N word in this movie but that was in fact how white folks in the slave trade talked back and it would be a great disservice to history to white wash those atrocities when those things really happened in those times. Tarantino is the first to really show the evil business of Mandingo Fighting (which is almost never mentioned in history) but was a huge source of income for slave owners. Dick Gregory (one of the biggest black activists and comedians that ever lived) explained before his death that he believed Django Unchained was the greatest and most honest movies ever made for black America. Dick said he saw this movie in the theaters over 40 times and was very upset with Tarantino being called a racist. Dick Gregory liked to point out that Tarantino seems to hire more black actors and staff than most black directors in the industry that complained about the language in the movie.

What I find difficult to fathom is that no matter how revolting the treatment of slaves in America appears it was still better than what happened to those who were left behind in Africa. Slaves in America had value (from the high cost of transport across the ocean) the poor sods left behind were basically worthless, captured enemies or rounded up criminals or people from 'other' tribes. Because of the high cost of transport American slaves (some) were allowed to breed (much cheaper to breed a replacement than to ship one in) incidentally the first official slave breeder in America was black (William Ellison). The vast majority of slaves in Africa (only a small fraction ended up being sold to the Atlantic slave trade) were not allowed to breed ("as a final insult to a defeated enemy") males sold to the east of Africa were routinely castrated (cock and balls) the practice had a 60% mortality rate. One leader in Baghdad was reported to own over 5,000 eunuchs, 2000 white (Europeans captured by the Barbary Pirates) and 3000 black). The transported slaves were the 'lucky' ones.
