im not trying to come off as anything, at this point in cinema I have seen enough gore and blood that a little implied violence doesnt really phase me. Jim gouging out the dudes eyes in 28 Day Later was more graphic to me
I finally got around to seeing this movie.
- the use of the N-word wasn’t as bad as people made it out to be. I’m fairly certain historically it was like that
- Samuel L Jackson was fucking awesome.
- I wasn’t as blown away by this movie as I expected to be. Sure it was one hell of a good movie, and probably one of the best that came out last year, but I kept expecting more from it.
That’s vastly different than it not being graphic in general. You’re desensitized to it but othefs are turned off by so many bad guys being blow to shit.
The movie is plenty graphic.
Also finally got to see the movie. If the use of the N word wasn’t in line with historical events and documentaries and such then that’s fine. It was said often back then, it was used in a derogatory manner, and honestly any overuse of it just highlights the villainy of a character like Candi. Like any good Tarantino film (I agree Death Proof was ass, Tarantino isn’t without his faults) there are some amazing performances here.
[details=Spoiler]As far as the Aussie scene dragging the film on, someone already pointed out that it was effective as setting up Stephen as a true villain. But also Django’s exchange with the Aussies shows some of what he’s learned from Schultz. It actually helped give some closure to the “what happens now?” question when the movie ends and they ride off. What are these two newly freed blacks going to do in a world that still has not abolished slavery? This along with the clip at the end about him being the fastest gun in the south let you know that he probably could continue his role as bounty hunter. I feel like ending the movie with that handshake or with the ensuing shootout would have left Django’s development unfinished.
I do agree that Tarantino’s performance there was not good AT ALL, and the scene would have been better served without his obligatory cameo.[/details]
Enjoyed it a lot, it doesn’t top Pulp Fiction of course but definitely a good movie.
The sounds and looks on their faces were a lot more gruesome to the imagination than an actual visual.
at least in my case.
That and when I was watching it I was picturing all the times shit like that actually happened in that time period.

and Doc shouldn’t have shook Candie’s hand for Django’s sake. if he had, then it would have just been a White Savior movie. i also think that’s why Django needed to be captured again. he had to take back his freedom himself!>:(
fack. going to get some brittle now. my teeth gonna hate me :mad:
it was a good movie but I’m still a litte disappointed.
it dragged on too long imo and the typical tarantino style dialogues/monologues which are usually awesome kinda sucked, like the german fairytale and especially the handshake scene, that was almost painful to watch.
its possibly his worst movie imo (obviously not counting the movies with his name tacked on that he didnt really make), which doesnt mean its a bad one though because I really love his other ones.
I just watched it, Samuel Jackson is great in it, lots of laughs with him XD
just like how the average american is over 6 feet. the average IQ is probably more around the 80 or 90 at most.
this and les miserables are two films that are supposed to be watched at the cinema
