Django's name comes from a series of Westerns in the 70s staring an actor named Franco Nero. Franco Nero even has a cameo as the man who asks Django how he spells his name. Also, Samuel L Jackson is 75 years old.
Series is a bit of an exaggeration; there were two movies, both starring Franco Nero! But it was very popular outside of Italy to give many Spaghetti Westerns the title Django! Some of them also starring Franco Nero! But the only real Django movies are “Django” from 1966 and “Django strikes again” from 1987!
Something that people miss is that at the end Django said he never knew burgundy was his color. He is wearing the dead Calvin Candy’s clothes and smoking his cigarette holder
The guy from the mining company that Django blew up was Quentin Tarantino himself! The whole scene with the dialogue about the bags over their heads cracks me up every time I see it! 😂😂
Won two Oscars in 2012 - Best Supporting Actor (Christoph Waltz as Dr. King Schultz) and Best Original Screenplay (Quentin Tarantino). Nominated in three other categories - Best Picture, Best Cinematography, and Best Sound Editing.
This is one of DiCaprio's all time best performances. He actually cut his hand smashing a glass when he slammed his hand on the table and kept going. Rubbing the blood on Hildie's face was a disgustingly genius improvisation that really sold the moment. Highly recommend his performance in The Basketball Diaries as well.
If I'm not mistaken, they cut and kept filming with fake blood after DiCaprio was patched up. I don't think I'd be cool with someone smearing their blood on me.
@@AwesomeUSMovieshe did cut his hand, and they did keep the camera running and he stayed in character. They reshot the scene but decided to go with the original. But they did do a break in the film and shoot from there with fake blood. He did not run real blood on the woman's face
To explain the D, it basically works like in French: J on its own in French is pronounced something like the GE in beige in English. To denote a sound like the English J, the French use DJ (as in the country of Djibouti). I don't know why the name Django uses that spelling convention, but its use here is a reference to spaghetti westerns. A lot of European movies in the '60s and '70s were multinational co-productions, which might explain the French influence, but I'm not sure.
Leo really did not want to say the ‘n’ word at all and Jamie Fox said it’s a movie, it’s part of the script. We know don’t mean it. Spectacular acting in this film! Great reaction!!!!
The actors are all outstanding. Tarantino has once again done a first-class job. A masterpiece. Tarantino (best original screenplay) and Waltz (best supporting role) absolutely deserve their Oscars.
I HIGHLY suggest watching “Inglorious Basterds”!!! It’s a WWII themed movie and it’s also directed by Quinten Tarantino! Awesome movie!!! You’ll love it.
I saw this at the movies on Christmas. The audience was 75% black. It started out so uncomfortable but about 20 minutes in that went away because EVERYONE was laughing and cheering. Probably the best experience I've ever had in a movie theater. Only Tarantino 😊

One of my favourite Tarantino movies, and therefore a favourite overall. Everyone is great in this, but Waltz is Next-Level. Also, it seems like this movie is one of the greatest contributors to the Squib Industry in Cinematic History.
Cackling at how you tried to pronounce his name 😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂 so funny. It's funnier because it's actually talked about how you pronounce it and the person who mispronounced his name learn it the hard way 😅😂
In case nobody told you yet, the Australian guy who got blown up WAS the director Quentin Tarantino! lol He makes a habit of inserting himself in his own movies in some way, whether it be as a side-character, or a narrator, etc. lol
Shout out to your editor! This is a racist and graphic movie, but was able to grasp important parts of the movie in editing to where we can still enjoy this reaction on youtube
The ionic song "Trinity (Lo chiamavano Trinità)" at the end is from the Italo Western-Comedy "They call me Trinity". Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill are childhood heroes of mine. Check them out if you got some time on your hands. Would love to see a reaction, there are barely any out there. This Duo got some cult-classic movies. They were huge in Europe in the 70s and 80s.
Love the reaction of oh no! a slavery movie, then immediately changes to Sweet Revenge Justice served up Tarantino style. Happiest terrible(in theme) movie ever conjured-Django!! Great acting all around
@AwesomeUSMovies Yep: doesn't mean I can stomach watching it when depicted. Regarding your comments on Schultz, I see his character as someone who sympathizes with your situation, and who may try to help you, but who ultimately can't act responsibly for your benefit because he's too locked into his own world view. I was very disappointed that he couldn't set aside his own revulsion for another 40 seconds.
@@jlerrickson You really had to walk out of the theater twice??? You're aware it's a movie right? Django isn't based on true events.. I think your brain is scrambled dude
Watch Inglourious Basterds! It's another Tarentino movie, also with Christoph Waltz, who played Dr. Schultz in this one. He's fantastic in both movies.
Per your question about a rich interracial couple… watch or read 12 Years a Slave - while not about interracial relations it is about how a freeman can become a kidnapped slave. It’s a biography.
Is he even aware of American history? It looked like he was oblivious to the way black people were treated a long time ago, and what was worse is that it was legal. Know your American history people.
As someone who abhors the institution of slavery, I'm appalled that there are more human beings enduring slavering today than at any time in history. Every time I see a privileged Westerner talk about slavery like it's a thing of the past, I just shake my head.
Based on the law of the land the first slave owner in America was Anthony Johnson a black man and a man formally in bondage but a word is a word but Anthony johns was at the time of slavery just started having laws, he legally owned his family and the"slave" was legally blind for life slavery is not what rootsmade everyone believe
This movie is great. But it is a hard watch for sure. I have a tough time watching the last bit knowing that it is probably not far off from how slavers treated fellow human beings during that time. As a guy from the south, this represents a time period for which we should be ashamed.
Yes. I agree. And yet, this far in history, the battle flag of the Confederacy, is still flown proudly. Like its an ongoing issue. That saddens me because that was settled long ago. It baffles me. It is still a battle. But the battle flag? That was lost long ago.
Mandingo fighting was not a thing. The Mandingo people are a West African ethnic group. There was a 1975 film called Mandingo that invented the fight to the death between slaves. In reality, slaves were too valuable to waste that way
I can't mount a horse the traditional way, I'm really tall but short legs, and my feet don't fit in the sterups I got clim up on something to swing my leg over I have use thighs to hold on
I'm at 8th gen Tennessean and there's no cotton this far north of the state and I can verify in 8 gen going back the it was called Franklin no member of my family ever owned a human I'm Cherokee we might have been owned in the 17000s
This has always been a hard watch for me, and I have never been able to watch this in its entirety. I was so mad at Sam Jackson and Leo doe a loooooog time😂
Slavery is our past, present, and Future as long as trafficking exist every aspect of slavery exist but some how is worse now than 150 years ago, just field work isn't part of it on a grand scale Mandingo still exist in buildings believed to be abandonment
What Django says about how black slavers were viewed? Not entirely accurate. There were well over 3,000 free blacks who owned slaves in the American south when this movie takes place. Becoming a slaveowner after achieving your own freedom was a common goal back in those days.
Also! Slavery is bad which is why we as a collective need to be mindful of how our products are collected ‼️🇨🇩 currently kids and people in Congo are being used in labor to mine cobalt for modern tech ‼️🤞🏽 buy used tech and don’t get new stuff to help support
Please don't take this personally; your questions really highlight the lack of education about this time in American history. "If a Black person has enough money and they're married to a while person, are they treated like a white person?" Interracial marriage became legal in 1967. Edit: When asking why "Old Ben" never cut his daddy's throat. All that talk was B.S. There were over 250 uprisings among the enslaved. When they failed, what do you think happened to them, their children, their families? Enslaved had to be intelligent enough to suppress emotional reactions as a means of survival, not to mention the psychological torture they endured.
I didn't think I said that. You may want to watch it again. I was asking if a black person had enough money even in the South would the be treated as a white person. I never did anything about marriage. But thanks for the comment
@@AwesomeUSMovies I backed it up and to make sure I heard correctly. Of course I could be mistaken. Even with that statement, it's highly unlikely that a very wealthy Black person would be "treated like a white person" even after slavery. (It's possible they may be more likely to be killed). There were several Black towns, (with professionals), that were burned and the residents massacred (Tulsa, OK, Atlanta, GA, Wilmington, NC, Rosewood, FL, Elaine, AK) One hundred years after slavery, Blacks were being lynched for "not knowing their place". A wealthy Black person (like Madame C.J. Walker) might have been better off, but they would not have enjoyed the same freedoms. Anyway, regardless I enjoy your channel.
People really don't know what Mandingo fighting is? I thought you said you read books a lot? Well apparently you didn't read anything about the struggles of my people during slavery days. Which a lot of has to do with what black people deal with today that everyone is unaware. Mandingo fighting bought certain type of slaves just for the Mandingo fighting sport. The slave masters would purchase and have them fight another slave master's purchased fighting slave. They were forced to fight each other to the death, at the sport of the Masters.
The horse that Jamie Fox is riding is his own horse.
That's Awesome!
Fox riding a horse....there may be a joke there somewhere.
Fun fact. The amount they offer to Candy of $12,000 in 1864 is equivalent of about $241,271.85 today.
... and Schultz has at least twice as much as that in his wallet
Wow. It's a bit of a jump to go from never watching movies, to this, in such a short time.
Right!
Never watching movies? Are you that naive?
@@user-wr9ej6xe4j Yes, yes, every single thing on the internet is fake and every single person is lying. You're so smart! Good job buddy.

This movie was heavy... 👀. The scary version is that "stuff" actually happened. Right here. In America. But, wonderful acting!
Very scary indeed
It's obviously exaggerated....
@@user-wr9ej6xe4j This specific story, of course, was an exaggeration. The period correctness of this environment was not.

In my opinion, Inglorious Basterds is Tarantino's masterpiece and is a must-watch.
28:01 he did indeed cut his hand during the scene and they kept it rolling. Tremendous acting
I thought he did
@@AwesomeUSMovieshe did cut his hand, and they did keep the camera running and he stayed in character.

One of the best movies ever! “The D is silent, hillbilly!”
yup found that out.
Excellent reaction to one of the greatest movies of all time!
Glad you enjoyed

Spectacular acting in this film!
Great reaction!!!!
The actors are all outstanding.
Tarantino has once again done a first-class job.
A masterpiece.
Tarantino (best original screenplay) and Waltz (best supporting role) absolutely deserve their Oscars.
The topic is obviously upsetting but it's a great film. All of these actors delivered.
Enjoyed your reaction 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
That must be why nobody talks about the fact (Yes it's a fact) that there are more today than any other time in History but nobody talks about that.
The blown up cowboy at the end is Tarantino himself 😊
The guy that blew up was Quinton
Oh good to know, thanks
I would cast Walton Goggins as Roland in my dark tower movies.
It works as a miniseries or tv show by seasons not a film but yes he would be perfect
That would be an excellent casting choice
I HIGHLY suggest watching “Inglorious Basterds”!!! It’s a WWII themed movie and it’s also directed by Quinten Tarantino! Awesome movie!!! You’ll love it.
I saw this at the movies on Christmas. The audience was 75% black. It started out so uncomfortable but about 20 minutes in that went away because EVERYONE was laughing and cheering. Probably the best experience I've ever had in a movie theater. Only Tarantino 😊
so, think about it- Django got his freedom from Dr. King.
The horse that does tricks and dances is Jamie Foxes real horse, and he trained the horse himself.
Yes he really cut his hand and kept going
The character of Big Daddy, is played by Don Johnson. He rose to fame, playing Detective Sonny Crockett, on the 80's TV series, "Miami Vice".
Oh yeah, I've heard of that

the guy holding TNT that Django blew up was Darnation
16:31 No. If you remember at Big Daddy's he told the girl to treat Django like a mentally disabled white person.
Django was originally a book
OHHHh so not written by. Based on a book then.
No completely original screenplay not an adaptation@@AwesomeUSMovies
very classy editing job on this reaction. i love blue wearing black Shakespeare; the fastest gun in the south

Not going to lie Django not my favorite Tarantino flick but not my call anyway good reaction as always recommendation...(Leaves Of Grass 2009).
I appreciate that
Oh hellyes!! This is my favorite Tarantino movie.this is gonna be good
The song at the end, is from 1970 They Call Me Trinity 😊

I think you'd enjoy Jackie Brown if you haven't already seen it. That might be my fave QT movie.
The "D" is silent. There's a Gypsy jazz guitarist named Django Reinhart from when sound recordings was just getting started.
James! I wouldn’t have guessed you for a Cubs fan. You surprise me. My money would have been on you as a Cards fan
Nope, LONG time Cubs fan been on the field, the locker room and the press rooms.

Django is lower mid Tarantino for me, it’s always fun to watch people watch it though
I’m curious what you’re always drinking. It’s an unusual color.
Crystal Light packets you put into a bottle of water. For this one I think it was Peach Iced Tea.
This has always been a hard watch for me, and I have never been able to watch this in its entirety. I was so mad at Sam Jackson and Leo doe a loooooog time😂
Hey James, i always say it with a D even though its just Jango.
So even when people tell you the D is silent, do we even know what silent means?
Spoiler alert...the answer to your "Django" question is answered in the movie... ;)
How does he not know? Was he paying attention?
The D isn't really silent. The j is rather pronounced like a y.
Slavery is our past, present, and Future as long as trafficking exist every aspect of slavery exist but some how is worse now than 150 years ago, just field work isn't part of it on a grand scale Mandingo still exist in buildings believed to be abandonment

Um no I was offered. Several times
too bad Leo Dicaprio, Jamie Fox and Samuel L Jackson are on the diddy list. Also about slavery in America the frist slave owner was a Black man.
also about slaves White people where slaves longer then other races.
