I'm almost positive they cut before he smeared the blood on her.

The blood was real up until he rubbed her face.

10:50 this was actually something that would happen. Southern slavers/slave owners would go to free states with warrants for missing slaves and would be able to force them back into slavery. This was predominantly done to runaway slaves but many freed slaves and black people who were never slaves in the first place were placed in custody and forced back into slavery.

[@bluejjay]

2:45 Actually the Django opening song was not made specifically for this movie, it was from the original Django movie from 1966, starring Franco Nero.

[@fyraltari1889]

As for why Schultz couldn't shake Candy's hand there's several things. He's not from around there and absolutely is not desensitized to this horror. He's shown consistently throughout the movie to react more strongly than Django to the treatment of slaves because for him it's new and horrible, for Django it's monday. Right before this he was thinking of what happened to Dartagnan. It was weighing heavily on him that he stood there and did nothing while an innocent man was mauled to death. So he really hates Candy. He hates him even more because Candy makes a mockery of his home continent, to try to appear refined with nothing but a surface understanding of European culture (styling himself Monsieur without speaking French, naming his slaves after characters created by a Black man, his sister playing a Beethoven piece when Beethoven was a strong egalitarian). Candy is everything he loathes and hates and he wants him to shake his hand? To act like they are equals, friends, and to be good sport about losing? Schultz is a violent man, his works is killing, it is much much easier for him to resort to violence than most people. So when pushed to his limits, he kills. But also, Shcultz's plan was stupid. Had they rode off to Candyland to buy Brünhilde, odds are they easily could have, even if for more than market value. But Schultz is a theatral man, who needs to show how clever he is by outsmarting everyone. So he came up with this plan to fool Candy, to get one over him. He does this because, despite being an ally, Schultz is still coming at this from a position of privilege. It isn't his struggle. For him it's an occasion to play out his romantic ideal, helping a knight rescue a princess, and in doing so he inadvertently centers himself. Because he is removed from this. But to Django this isn't a game, it's his life, it's the love of his life. So Django never takes his eyes off the prize, he is ready to do anything it takes to save Brünhilde. Which is why, despite his best intentions, Schultz is the one to mess it up and die, while Django has to clean up his mess and dets to ride off into freedom. Because beating candy did not matter to Django. To me this is about allyship, it's telling allies not to make the fight about themselves, those who are oppressed have to lead the way, we are just to help however we can.

[@SillyPom]

People were dying in the theater I first saw "Django" in during the bag-head scene. This is absolutely one of Tarantino's best films and an unmistakable gem of cinema. A stylish, multifaceted, and refined gem you just want to admire again and again. "Inglorious Basterds" was certainly his most mature work, and "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" is a modern fable taking his tried-and-true style while applying every aspect of his craft that he has refined over the years in a commendable way. "Django Unchained" is just a straight-up celebration of classical filmmaking that takes very real, serious and unflinching subject matter and proves that not only can it be used to tell an inspiring tale, but a heroic one, a legendary one, and a bloody entertaining one.

Steven, the house manager, lots of them were that way. they normally had it pretty good and had a secure spot where they were treated somewhat human. Anything that shook that pedestal they stood on however was a threat to their security. You see why Steven was mad when it came to Django and Hildi.

[@Afreshio]

Steven is the representation of the Uncle Tom trope, which is based upon American slavery history. Although the trope in literature of the slave being smarter than the master is as old as time. I've just read that in a play by Plautus (born more than 2000 years ago) just portrays a slave being conniving and way clever than his master and other patricians. From an anthropological perspective it makes sense for this to be a very old dynamics as being from the noble class is more often than not, in any caste-based society based in bloodlines. And basing on genetics the position of an individual as a leader doesn't guarantee anything.

Another theory that I think is far more accurate... Is that it's a filmmaking decision. The movie is VERY heavy emotionally and tackles uncomfortable subjects. The over the top violence pulls people out of the movie a bit a bit. Kind of a like a comic relief character that you kind of hate in your favorite shows.

As for any of the actors who had difficulty getting into their characters, funnily enough, Jamie and Leo were the only ones that were named to have troubles with their roles. Jamie wasn't filling in the act of a slave that smoothly, as he was so accustomed to playing headstrong badass characters. It took Tarantino pulling him aside and emphasize to him that while Django is written to be a badass, that comes later and must be grown into his character organically. After a little bit of filling in with some retakes, Foxx stepped up and killed it. As for Leo, he had a deep discomfort of playing such a vile and racist character (in fact, its stated that Calvin Candie is the first and so far only character Quentin has written for a film that he absolutely despises), especially when he held such high respect for his peers. But this time, it was Jamie who pulled him aside and convinced him to commit to the role, saying that in the world of this movie, they weren't friends. Leo was a slave master, Jamie a slave. After that pep talk, DiCaprio got so into the character that even before shooting, he wouldn't greet any of the other talents on set.

[@nickkerber1145]

It's also symbolic. He's hidden his true self most of his life, pretended to be a crippled, simpleminded slave, while running things from behind the curtain until there's nobody left to see. When it's just him and Django, he drops his cane and stands tall, showing that he's more than that, but by pretending to be that, he's *become* the monster he pretends to be, and so Django shoots him in the knee, making his fake injury real, just like how his fake subservience became real over time.

A tinker was a person who traveled from place to place mending metal utensils or making minor mechanical repairs. A tinker's dam is a small piece of dough or putty that was fashioned to hold molten solder in place while the tinker was repairing pots and pans. After use, the dam was tossed because it's worthless. They were also reputed to swear habitually, which would make a "tinker's damn," as well as his "dam," be of little significance.

9:55 Historically, that did happen and was Fredrick Douglas' out for his time.

Something like that, he was able to say "I'm not liable to anyone's property because I was never owned in the first place". Something along those lines happened back then and ever since a free slave would follow it as a model. Until the 1980s.

From IMDB ''When Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio) smashes his hand on the dinner-table, DiCaprio did accidentally crush a small stemmed glass with his palm and did really begin to bleed. He ignored it, stayed in character, and continued with the scene. Quentin Tarantino was so impressed that he used this take in the final print, and when he called cut, the room erupted in a standing ovation.

The Django Unchained Score was not exactly original. The Theme is from the original 1966 Django classic by Sergio Corbicci, starring Franco Nero (the guy who asks Foxx to spell the name). "His name was King" is a song from the 1971 Spaghetti western movie with the same name, starring the Great Klaus Kinski. The song which plays during the group's entrance in Candieland is called "Nicaragua" by the great Jerry Goldsmith, written for the movie "Under Fire" from 1983. The soundtrack is not all original, but is incredibly well mixed and makes the movie a musical masterpiece.

Not exactly! "DJANGO" (1966) is NOT from Sergio Leone, but from Sergio CORBUCCI ("IL GRANDE SILENCIO", "IL MERCENARIO").

I’d recommend Jackie Brown. That’s my favorite Tarantino movie. It’s probably his most mature that doesn’t contain his more explosive elements but it’s rooted in great snappy dialogue and incredible performances from every single cast member. Also at its heart it’s a romance between two old adults trying to reinvent their lives. Pam Grier and Robert Forester are simply phenomenal.

I watched this one with my ex (around that time we were just beginning our relationship) like four times in the span of 10 days, give it or take. We were so engaged with this maginificent work! And I will never forget the first time, we were marginally late for that late projection, I was walking first up the stairs, but I had to twist my neck like an owl because the initial opening credits sequence with that amazing song, that bass voice singing "DJAANGOOO! ... OOOH DJANGO!", the slaves marching in chain, the sun blazing the field. Amazing scene. Then the next scene at night with the incredible lighting and cinematography, Dr. Schultz cartoonish carriage moving, the slaves freezing exhaling vapor in cold. We were already sitting, barely touching the popcorns. I will never forget my first encounter with that movie. My ex-gf was enthralled too. We talked for years about that moment (same reaction with Interstellar, whom we also watched like three times in the same week!). It's amazing to share a passion with a person. This is way those reaction videos are a caress to our souls! We were together for ten years, and in a relationship for almost nine! Sadly, we had to part our ways as the partnership wasnt working for us anymore. But we shared hundreds of movies at the theater and hundreds more at many points. Either my bedroom, our our little apartment later when we could move out of our nests, then a crammed room with her sister and my cousin, sharing that little room in another country we usually rented for a night this motel. People were fucking and us watching some Sundance winner film. Also fucking later but, you know. It was funny. And after we saved enough (well, after SHE saved enough, she was amazing in business!) we moved to a big apartment when we moved to another district with roommates (same cousin, same sister, another sibling of her, and usually other two people). Miss her. Miss a lot the talking about movies, TV shows, animations, novels, media, memes, news. Anything. Part of me is watching these reaction as a remembrance, but also as replacing this thing I had for a decade and suddenly lost. I still have the movie tickets for this one, and dozens of other movies as I try to collect those since 2012.

Fun fact: Tarantino almost didn’t make this, as he thought it would be too offensive with him being white. However, Samuel L. Jackson and Quincy Jones, among other black film actors and directors, convinced him to go through with it, because they told him that if it weren’t offensive, it wouldn’t be historically accurate. And that aspect, story aside, was what mattered most to them, and Quentin finally understood. Also, the talent in this film is off the charts. So many excellent actors and actresses. Quentin not tiptoeing with the subject material in the script definitely overwhelmingly helped the screenplay, and that’s why it won an Oscar for Original Screenplay. And Christoph Waltz received the other for best Supporting Actor. Worth mentioning also: Dinner table scene when Candi broke a cocktail glass accidentally? That wasn’t scripted initially, and Leo improvised and maintained character despite his obvious injury. If you look closely, you see the scene getting cut, and Leo’s hand being stitched and bandaged. The blood later in the scene on Hilda’s face was obviously fake for theater, but Kerry Washington was not privy to a majority of the scene (it wasn’t in her script), so her reactions were genuine fear and disgust, which worked for the context. Speaking of Leo, yes, he almost didn’t accept his role because he couldn’t commit to the rawness of the script, but he pushed through because of Jamie’s encouragement. And the KKK scene was initially going to be strictly bonus footage and wasn’t going to be in the theatrical cut, but Samuel L Jackson convinced Quentin to keep it in the film to add comedy and levity in a film with such emotionally heavy content, which was a great idea.

[@cannabunnyol]

There's interviews with Jamie Foxx and Samuel L Jackson where they talk about Leo having a hard time with the dialogue and all the slurs. SLJ basically told him to buck up and just do it.

To be fair, the hard R is very difficult for white people. Nobody thinks that way anymore and it’s hard to say such hateful things when it’s not in your heart because we all came after MLK and the civil rights movement. But Sam Jackson could whip my white ass into saying anything 😂 Edit: un-corrected autocorrect

The hateful eight is in my opinion one of his best. Seriously good for a movie taking place in just one room 90% of the screen time

[@nsasupporter7557]

Disagree, Hateful 8 was one of the worst movies ever. I wanted to kill myself when I was watching it

[@haga501.]

While having our own taste in movies is what makes talking about them fun. I think you might have missed the essence for The hateful eight. Its one of Tarantinos best films, and very high on the best movies of all time list. I recommend to give it a second chance and take a look at the story telling, the script and the pure brillient acting. Since I know myself a bit, I know I would hate that movie alot when I was younger. So I will try to do the opposite of gatekeeping. PLEASE WATCH The Hateful Eight one more time and try to see it from a different aspective. But if you still hate it, its totally fine. Since...again. We all have different taste in film.@@nsasupporter7557

“Why does he hate black people?” Stephen is jealous of Django because while he might have a “nicer” life being the butler to Candy. He is still Candy’s slave. Stephen isn’t free, but Django is. So Stephen tries to win favor with Candy by catching Schultz and Django in their scheme. Hoping desperately to gain what little freedom he can grasp. Samuel plays that role to a T. Incredible acting.

The look on Schultz's face after Bettina asks Big Daddy if he should treat Django like white people is hilarious. One of them gestures agree and the other disagree. Christoph Waltz almost looked like he broke character here, he seemed to be smirking. LOL

[@miguellabuguen125]

There was an interview that Jamie Foxx did about Leo struggling with certain words in the script that he was not at all comfortable saying. Jamie basically had a come to Jesus talk with Leo telling Leo that for the sake of this movie their characters are not friends. That Leo should look at Jamie like property which is reminiscent of how slaves were treated. As property. Jamie talked about how the next day Leo took his advice and flipped a switch and basically ignored him and looked down on him on set.

Leo was nominated for supporting and he actually cut his hand on a glass for real when he slapped that table top in the dining room scene, yet kept on playing the scene - true professional. That is Jamie Fox’s own horse in real life too.

Fun fact: During Leo's monologue, no one had to act shocked. They were legit stunned because he actually cut his own hand on that glass but kept rolling. The blood was not a prop but genuine DiCaprio right there. He even decided to use it in an improv smear gesture. When the camera cut, everyone applauded him while he was escorted towards a paramedic for like 15 stitches. Absolute legend.

[@Ignore14]

The blood smear part wasn't real blood. They did a cut and continued the scene later. That would have been disgusting and probably illegal.

I'm sure there's a boat load of posts about the Candy Land dinner scene, but Leo actually smashing the glass and cutting his hand is real next level acting. Everyone went into wtf serious mode acting when Leo continued his lines... they did cut and use fake blood to smear on Kerry Washinton's face, but it added such an intense factor to the scene. Epic.
