POLL: What Did You Think Of DJANGO UNCHAINED?

Excellent film! One of my top films of the year!

Not for everyone, though.

Saw it and thought it was a great film, I agree the KKK scene was hilarious!!! I am happy the movie had some laughs in it, because the subject matter was serious, great mixture of drama, comedy and action, a little too bloody for my taste but hey...it's a Quentin Tarantino flick :)

...smh @ the butthurt white ppl. I thought it was good, but DEFINITELY his worst. It was QTs revenge story/answer on "what if slaves rebelled, killed their white masters?..Why didn't they?". Just like how IG was for "What if Jews, were powerful enough to kill Nazis?". He should do a Native Americans vs. White Settlers, to round off his Revenge Trilogy, other than his idea using WW2 as the backdrop again.

SPOILERS:
ANYWHO, I felt Django Unchained was clearly his most funniest and funnest film yet. Also, he wanted to tap into a film, that can pull in the modern/younger Black Audience, who in some cases, aren't familiar with his body of work, and have them STILL enjoy it. But let's be clear here ppl, this film IS FOR African Americans! It's allowing them to see/feel what maybe some feel guilty about thinking of, sometimes.
Worst thing to do to a white man, is to be different than him, and take away his power. Which is what the film worked off of. The deepest moments, always fell within the conflict between Dr.Schultz and Candie. Especially Dicaprio's speech about how "scientifically" due to "dimples", Blacks are submissive and not as creative/smart as their "lighter" counterparts. Then comes Schultz' counter argument with the fact that Alexdre Dumas, writer of The Three Musketeers, was actually black (which some I KNOW didn't know of.) Pretty much, what you may like ARTISTICALLY can EASILY, too, be created by a black man and how in a lot of cases Blacks can also, easily be influenced into doing things they might not even care to. It was QTs challenge for most to rise above what they're typically seen/portrayed as. They both have their points.
QT, was clearly living through Shultz, that was obvious. QTs cameo, sucked..like usual. The film as a whole lost it's ground, as soon as Waltz' and Dicaprio's characters died off. And became another gore filled shoot-em-up style revenge story. And almost relied on shock value, to keep you seated. Which usually, always works. But QTs proved before that he doesn't have to rely on that..but, he is past his prime, as a director. His work is getting weaker, period. His messages, yes, are there still, to which I applaud...but his execution just isn't as good anymore. Still a work of art, and most who'll flatout hate it, won't understand it..which, is partially a point of the movie ;)

I personally loved it. Big fan of QT and this did not disappoint!

And to anybody who says this is racist, I'm from the south and I couldn't disagree more, I actually saw it with my black best friend, and we both loved it.

To people who say it's racist, please try and remember that this film takes place pre-civil war. This is how the world was then.

*or so

Thanks you DeadPunisher.

"I think we all think the bags was a nice idea. But, not pointing any fingers, they could of been done better. So how bout, no bags this time, but next time, we do the bags right, and then go full regalia.!"

LMAO, surprised how much I enjoyed it.

I really am not a usual Tarantino fan. I think the way he writes in so many pointless dialogue scenes is a gimmick. Funny and amusing for a second, but then quickly becomes tired.

However in this, while there were tired dialogue scenes, I loved the chemistry between Foxx and Waltz. I loved the funny scenes, the action, and just the journey to save Broomhilda.

Dicaprio DESERVES an oscar! HILARIOUS, he and Sam Jackson knocked it out of the ball park

Loved it! That whole dinner scene at Candyland played out so intensely. Dicaprio and Waltz were on their A game. My favorite film of the year. Tarantino is the man

I am boycotting any movie with that racist Foxx in it.

no

The following question deserves a thoughtful answer:

"It's racist when Jamie Foxx in every interview is saying "I get to kill white people and it's awesome". Explain to me how that's not racist? If a white guy said that, geeze it'd be insane and all over every news station."

Foxx is clearly making a provocative statement, and the character who Foxx plays does hate white people because of what they have done (this is a revenge movie and revenge is rooted in hatred). However, Foxx's comments are not a part of the movie, and nothing about the movie actually asks the viewer to agree with Django without qualification.

Note that King (Django's white friend) is a German who equates Django with Sigfried (conspicuously the same myth that used by Hitler to justify his crimes). Note further that the movies is making reference to the tendency of Westerns to glorify unqualified violence.

The movie does suggest that slavery would do a better job of justifying slaver than other villainous activities on the part of standard evil villains in movies. It does not equate slavery with the white race, or opposition to slavery with the black race (note that Stephen one of the movies villains is conspicuously a black who supports slavery).

A very reasonable question, but reasonable questions often can be answered.

Very reasonable answer, for the second statement "...If a white guy said that, geeze it'd be insane and all over every news station."

Yes, if a white person said the opposite of what Jamie Foxx said, it would not be funny, because it (slavery) already happened, it's quite obvious to the mixed race audience that Jamie Foxx was joking, after all he is a comedian!!

Loved every minute of this movie

Excellent movie but not as good as Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, or Kill Bill 1&2
