Fun fact when Leonardo DiCaprio got sad about the hobbits and kicked the helmet and fell down yelling it was because he actually broke his foot on the helmet.
Here's a fun fact you don't hear about much: When SisterWife gets shot and gets yanked back out of frame, it is an homage to old spaghetti westerns when women couldn't die on screen. So they used the rope yank out of frame to get around that rule 😄
That dinner table scene where leo dicaprio hand was bleeding was real. He actually smash his hand on glass and kept going. When Quentin yell CUT the entire set applaud him
15:19 "Walking in the moonlight" Is a reference to lynching. He's basically saying "Keep that up and we'll hang you from a tree, one night". Django's response was just a snarky snap, insinuating that the guy is romantically interested in him and the "Walking in the moonlight" statement referred to a nice date.
Samuel L Jackson WAS in Inglorious Basterds, albeit as a voice-over. He certainly wasn't in Reservoir Dogs, tho. Also, there's a joke in Schultz being a dentist and the main bounties being against Brittle and Candy.
Think carefully about the brilliance of Waltz's performance in both films. In the 19th Century Austria and Germany were the pinnacle of everything. Music, philosophy, science, human rights...Everything. They viewed slavery as abhorrent just as Waltz portrays. Flash forward a mere 80 years and Waltz in Inglorious Bastards portrays how it all fell apart.
Ehh I mean Jews were tolerated but not loved in Austria in the time period. It was a high point in everything if you were western European or a very clever Jew. But all it took was losing a couple of wars for the population to completely turn on them.
@@tomgolding9478 Don't fully agree. Yes, there were periods of positives and negatives depending on the monarch. More rights were given then restricted. Then really opened with Joseph II and then Franz Joseph as the Austro-Hungarian monarch even traveled to Jerusalem. He also granted the Jewish pop full equal rights. Budapest is still home to the largest synagogue in Europe on Dohány Street. Been there, beautiful place.
@@tomgolding9478 For some reason my reply disappeared. But essentially it was up and down over centuries. Emperor Joseph awarded several new rights to the Jews. A little after the time the movie is set Franz Joseph is the Austro-Hungarian emperor and he gave the Jews full and equal rights. Budapest is still home to the largest synagogue in Europe on Dohány Street, been there, amazing place seats about 3,000.
FUN FACT: Refined flour (white flour) was pretty new at that time and was considered a rich man’s product, because it took more processing to get the flour to that state. Previously wheat was stone ground and did not have a long shelf life. When it was discovered you could sift out the germ and the bran, the flour was much smoother and lasted much longer. This is why Candy said “We’re going to have white cake.” Because it was pretty rare and pretty awesome. No one could afford to make white cake.
I'm pretty sure white flour was used for a long time and was probably first produced in ancient Egypt. It was quite expensive until the 19th century, because wheat was more labor-intensive and white flour - and therefore white bread - was more a thing for special occasions and for the wealthy. Then the costs were reduced extremely quickly with the introduction of industrial processes in the 19th century. I think you are refering to the introduction of roller milling to make white flour, but that was somewhere around 1870, the story of the movie starts in 1859. Recipes for white cake from the 19th century don't really mention any special kind of flour, just "flour". And I would always be careful with saying something like "No one could afford to make X food". Most food options weren't that expensive that it was absolutely not affordable for less rich people, it was just too much for them to spend on a fancy food item. Just like today people could totally buy some expensive food like caviar, they just don't really do it - not even for special occassions - because it's probably not worth it. Rich people don't really have to think about prices for food like that, normal people usually feel they can spend the money for something better. Just like people like to say that salt was so expensive in medieval times. But average people bought salt all the time. Yes, they spent a big chunk of their income for it, but it was still accessable. A bit like motor fuel today. Yes, it's expensive and the people who control the production make a lot of money from it, but even low-income people living in remote areas can buy enough fuel for their 30 year old car.
I believe the double casting of James Remar is an intentional homage to the genre: Back in the day, western movies were shot on the tightest of budgets - so reusing actors for more than one role was not unusual. I think it's one of Tarantino's small nods to the genre this movie is a loveletter to.
Also, it wasn’t the first time Tarantino double cast someone. Michael Parks played the sheriff at the wedding chapel crime scene and later he plays the pimp when Beatrix is getting closer to Bill. He might have done it before that, but that’s the only other one of which I am aware.
And the three roles that Cheech Marin had in "From Dusk Til Dawn" Cheech plays a Mexican Border guard, the Titty Twister hype man, and the friend that was finally there to meet at dawn.
This movie is tied to the Kill Bill movies. Avoiding spoilers, in Vol. 2 there’s a scene in a graveyard in El Paso Texas, and you see a gravestone marked Paula Schultz, with the year of death being exactly the same year Dr. King Schultz started bounty hunting.
33:22 The range of emotions that Kerry Washington conveys in these few seconds without saying a word is amazing. Terror as she hears someone walking up. Attempting to harden herself as she hears them opening the door. Complete shock verging on tears when she hears his voice. A brief moment of disbelief, like she thinks she only imagined it. Then just a flood of relief and joy as she realizes it's real. Amazing.
The scene with Jonah Hill and Don Johnson is one of the funniest things I have ever seen in a movie theater, people were falling out of their chairs laughing.
Yes it was hilarious. I just about know Django almost verbatim that's how much me and my oldest son always makes jokes or requote the words in this so much. Every ody understood the assignment! 💯 👏🏼
I think DiCaprio's delivery with, "There have been a lot of lies said around this dinner table here tonight, BUT THAT YOU CAN BELIEVE!" might be one of my favourite moments in all of his career
I’m Australian. That’s a South African accent Tarantino has. The other guy is John Jarrett, a well respected Australian actor. He’s got a real Australian accent but he’s overdoing it spectacularly.
"Years ago, I would have said I was going to be the hero or Django, but [Tarantino] took too long to write it," Jackson said. "When he sent it to me, he said read the role of Stephen. I read it and was like, 'Oh, you really want me to be the most despised Negro in cinematic history?'
I actually find Calivins (Samuel L Jacksons character) pretty interesting. He is still technically a slave but he is a house slave, seen as higher status back then. Yet here comes Django, a free man. So Calvin spent however many years sucking up to people to get his position just to see like the antithesis of who he is ride in randomly
You can also see how his demeanour instantly changes when he is alone in a room with his "master". They both know he is the brains behind Candyland, but they put on a show for everybody else.
In the dinner scene, when you described Samuel as the hype man, he actually came up with that bit of repeating the lines as an add on to Leo's dialogue. He proposed the change to Quentin, and it got put in.
The woman with the red scarf is Zoe Bell. Tarantino met her when she auditioned to be Uma Thurman's stunt double for the Kill Bill movies. They became really good friends during those movies and since then she's been either a stunt double and/or an actress in every Tarantino movie. The most on screen time she had in a Tarantino movie was in Death Proof, where she played herself.
Tarantino's partner in the slave running is the actor, John Jarrett who is Australian. It was easier for Tarantino to do an Aussie accent than it ws for Jarrett to do an American accent.
Tarantino also seems to include an Australia reference most of his films: - Pulp Fiction, the watch is on the Kangaroo. - Kill Bill, they say that Bill was mining for silver in Perth. - Death Proof, Lee mistakes Zoe for Australian. Zoe also mentions playing Ship's Mast in Australia. - Inglorious Basterds, it sounds like the clip about nitrate film might have been from Australia. - Hateful 8, Daisy sings Jim Jones At Botany Bay. - Once Upon A Time In Holliwood... casting Margot Robie, I guess. I don't know about Reservoir Dogs or Jackie Brown, though.
24:43 The hand of DiCaprio was bloody because when he smashed the table broke a glass cutting his hand. This really happened during the shooting of the scene but DiCaprio continued in character as nothing happened so Tarantino continued the take.
It wasn't a weird thing about Waltz's character being German. It's documented that Immigrant Germans were against slavery in the US from early to mid 1800s. I would assume that's why he wrote him that way. (Yes, I know they were referring to his role in inglorious basterds to this...calm down.)
Django unchained is a homage to the good old Italo Westerns, which were known for their very hard, brutal style and for the rider who takes revenge at the end. Franco Nero, who is allowed to play in this film, was the original Django. Emigrants from German-speaking countries actually had mostly no slaves, for them hard work was part of life, the majority of them served in the Union army in the Civil War, among other things, for the south fought far fewer and many of them not really voluntarily. Unfortunately, there were also a few slave traders , but that wasn't the bulk. Tarantino is a fan of the German Karl May films and Dr. King Schultz was influenced by them.
13:26 Ladies and gentlemen, we are enjoying the company of the legendary, the one and only, Franco Nero. The original Django from good old 1966. The fact that the old and new Django are together at the bar, talking about the nature of the name... and the new Django explaining to the old that the D in Django is spoken silently, to which old Django replies "I know." Quentin Tarantino Filmmaking Masterclass!
Fun Fact:::The blood on Leonardo DiCaprio hand was real that's when he slammed his hand on the table and he really cut his hand open that tells you what type of amazing actor he is to stay in character he was improvising
Better fact: yes he really cut his hand, but they cut after noticing and patched him up. But Tarantino liked it and added fake blood to keep the scene going
Hilde didn't JUST faint from seeing Django - but from heat exhaustion, & dehydration, as well as the shock of the water she was drinking, to her system. Also the relief she felt seeing Django dressed well, like a white man, & armed. It was All a shock to her senses...anyone who's ever experienced heat exhaustion & dehydration, knows what that feels like, & how sick it can make you feel.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Quentin Tarantino is a lunatic. But, its undeniable that he's one of the greatest directors in the history of Hollywood cinema, perhaps in the top 10. Great reaction! 👍🏿
He’s a director who truly loves cinema and puts his heart and soul into his profession, the result being extremely personal and lovable films that just have so much character to them.
12:08 The neck-hooks were used on those who were considered "flight risks", for want of a better term, to make running through woods and dense undergrowth impossible. Some of them also had jingle bells on the prongs so that the wearer couldn't stop making noise. I find instruments of cruelty rather fascinating; they're often much more creative and varied than our more benevolent inventions...
Considering Waltz won both Oscars for acting in Tarantino's films, DJANGO was the more surprising (but then again, his Doctor character here is hysterical)
That was indeed a real horse that fell. One that had been trained to remain calm during it, with trainers and crew members making sure it is as safe for the horse to fall over as it would be for a human to fall over.
9:00 or so, the theater audience wasn't expecting this. The laughter was kinda nervous at first, and then it just got louder and louder as the scene went on. Monty Python level comedy, in such a serious film. 13:09 yes that's James Remar ..again Quentin probably just thought he didn't get enough screen time earlier.
Even better comparison, 😉👍was just the first funny thing I thought of. Maybe in "Life of Brian" when they're questioning what have the 'Bloody Romans ever done for us..' and random people in the room keep piping in. And in "Django" with those hoods on you can't tell who's speaking. Really funny though.
My thinking about this scene is that when they wear the hoods normally, their greatest weapon is fear. By making them the comic relief and the hoods something to be laughed at, their power was taken away.
Beggining of the movie: Q.T.: Blows horse brains out with lot of blood. End of the movie: Q.T.: "No horses were harmed in the making of this movie." Simone: 😁
I still remember the day when me and my friend went to watch this on the cinema, when Django said he would pick his own clothes, my friend said “He’s gonna dress up like a pimp” the row behind us giggled, and when the reveal happened, everyone was laughing their asses off, it was glorious
Samuel Jackson was the narrator in Inglorious Bastards. Quintin loves making movies w/ his group of friends. Watching his movies you’ll see the same people over and over again. Leo hurt his hand when he shattered the skull in the table. He really cut open his hand filming the scene & everyone was terrified. He kept filming regardless. Such an amazing scene in an amazing movie with an outstanding cast.
Fun fact Leonardo Actually cut his hand open when he slammed it on the glass he wasn't actually faking it nor was it fake blood that he wiped on Hilda. Also great reaction!
Everyone keeps repeating this but I really REALLY hope they did cut the scene before he wipes blood on Kerry Washington to at least ask her first because I would be so upset and angry if a co-worker smeared his actual blood on me. That's a health concern man.
This is partially incorrect. Yes, he did cut his hand, but he did not smear real blood on her face. That would've been a major health and safety violation, which is illegal and would never in a million years be allowed. They replaced the blood with fake blood for that take.
If you didn't catch it Django said Auf Wiedersehen to Schultz's corpse, if you remember Schultz said to Mr Candy that Auf Wiedersehen means "see you again" and so he will just say goodbye instead to him instead.
Good picturing of the christian values against other people , its still alive and doing well in US of A , go figure . And this is close to the reality of that ere in southern states .
Y’all rock! Sam Jackson’s character wasn’t faking. There’s an old saying about “dying on your feet,” that’s why he tossed the cane. Look closely and he still hobbled toward Django.
Seeing it again, Tarantino definitely got some inspiration from Blazing Saddles for this one. And that little cameo by Franco Nero seems to escape everybody. He was the original Jango and they used the intro song from his movie for this one.
I’m sure someone mentioned it somewhere but Leo actually cut his hand when he slammed it down on the table, and he just kept on acting. When the scene was over the entire cast and directing team gave him a standing ovation❤️ amazing acting
24:39 he slammed his hand down on the table and smashed a glass.... in real life... he played through the scene like it was part of it.... such phenomenal acting!
I found your channel about 2 weeks ago, subbed after the first watch... And you guys have quickly become one of my go-to channels. So less "performative" than others, you guys seem really genuine - makes my day!
Just in case it hasnt already been said by someone else; Leo actually injured his hand slamming the table and breaking a glass but kept the scene going regardless! Turned out super well honestly
One of the more interesting things about this movie is that while Christoph Waltz is certainly a likable character, he ultimately isn't quite as good a guy as he presents himself. The second half of the movie is largely about respectability politics, and/or the hard-earned ability to grin and take it. As a slave, Django has already endured any number of cruelties and every kind of racist discrimination humans can think up, so keeping his cool in the environment of Candyland is no problem for him. Schultz thinks of himself as enlightened, and he's certainly not a bigot like the slave owners, but he has the thin skin of somebody who hasn't had to endure what Django has lived through, and thus he can't swallow his pride long enough to shake Calvin's hand so that he and Django can escape peacefully with Broomhilda (which would let Calvin off scot-free, but would be safer for all three of them). Schultz has a mirror in the form of Stephen. Stephen is a man who has accepted to the point of furthering his oppressor's goals and power. He hates Django because Django has endured but not broken. Both Stephen and Django are acting out of self-preservation, but Stephen has had to sell his soul and his people out in order to do it. In the end, Django proves that he's better than both of them. He is freed twice in the movie: once by Dr. Schultz's hand, but the second and more important time, by his own.
Being thin skinned has nothing to do with being either a good or a bad guy. I also disagree that it was pride. It was not pride, it was indignation. Which makes him a better guy than he presents himself... to a fault, unfortunately.
@@Dacre1000 I mean, it was indignation, but the source of it was pride. In the grand scheme of things, it's not like it somehow means anything to give Calvin the handshake he wanted. It would have gotten everyone out safely, and they still could've found a way to blow up Candyland. It's not to say that he should want to shake the guy's hand, of course. But it was an obvious goad from Calvin, and Dr. Schultz took the bait. I admit this is less of a moral failing, so "good" vs "bad" was probably the wrong way to put it. It's a character flaw. But it is a shortcoming.
@@tylerfoster6267 Yeah, the handshake was a symbolic acknowledgement that Candie outsmarted Schultz and only let Broomhilda free because he is really a businessman at heart who cares about money, not because he is cruel or immoral. We, the audience, and Schultz know that this is blatantly untrue, that Candie is not smart enough to discover the plan (Stephen was), and that he's selling Broomhilda only to fake magnanimity and humiliate Schultz (flashbacks to the slave being eaten alive). It also destroys Shultz's internal narrative as the savior, when he described the myth of Brynhild to Django. In the end, he chose to make a "noble" sacrifice to kill Candie and make him the hero of his own story rather than caring about the lives of Django and Broomhilda. It's indicative of Shultz's true character.
@@SnailHatanyeah but he choose to kill Calvin even though it meant his friend and wife might die. It represents white people who hate racist white people so much that hurting them becomes the goal more than helping the oppressed.
Imagine being in a Move with Jamie Fox, Tarantino, Sam Jackson and DeCaprio as some Austrian Actor and you outshine all of them, Christoph is just a gifted actor, i m so impressed.
I'm sure I'm repeating th I s, but when Leonardo DiCaprio's hand started bleeding, it was because he accidentally broke a glass when he slammed his hand on the table, but due the depth of his immersion in the moment, he fi ished the scene with a bleeding hand. The take was so on point, they kept it, and wrote in the injury for later scenes.
The opening scene/credits were shot in the Alabama Hills, on rte 395 in the Eastern Sierra/California. The hills have long been a favored location site for Hollywood since the 1910s. In the town of Lone Pine, which fronts the hills, there’s a wonderful museum of film and TV history for shows shot in the Alabama Hills. QT has donated the tooth carriage, as well as many pieces of memorabilia from the movie. For anyone who’s a film fan or buff, I strongly recommend a visit! It’s western-heavy, but episodes of STDS9, Tremors, Ironman, and many other shows were shot there.
Christoph Waltz only agreed to be in another one of Tarantino's movies if he played the good guy, after his infamous role as a Nazi in Inglorious Basterds .
Leonardo DiCaprio cut his hand in that scene for real, and kept going despite his blood dripping. What you see in this scene is Leo caprio actually bleeding
I havent seen it in the comments so there the answer. Leo's hand is full of blood after diner because when he shouted and bang the table, he actually hurt his hand for real on a piece and he kept acting, adding some momentum. (They did clean him before he rob it in the face of Hildy)
That woman who had the scarf over her face -- she's Zoe Bell. She was the stunt double for Uma Thurman in Kill Bill, plus she's been in a few other Tarantino movies.
@@DementedDistraction, hahahah very understandable. However, I don't have a foot fetish myself but if the goddess that is Salma Hayek wanted to stick her foot in my mouth, I'd happily oblige.
Christoph Waltz is a highly respected actor in his native Austria. He won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for this film, as well as Inglourious Basterds. He also plays the villainous Blofeld in two James Bond movies, Spectre and No Time To Die.
24:30 - Leo actually cut his hand when he slammed it on the table. The blood in this scene is real. He stayed in character and they kept filming. It ended up in the final version of the film. A testament to the type of actor he is and commitment he has to a role.
Gotta say, movie was fantastic, acting was fenomenal: we empathized with Django, felt ofended as Schultz, hatted Candy, fell in love with Broomhilda and wanted to kill Steven, all of them were just perfect!
Ever sense Quentin Tarantino said all his movies are in the same universe I've loved them more because that means there are possibly vampires in the movies without us really knowing. If that makes sense?
That Schultz line when he kills Candie of, "I couldn't resist", *I Think* was intended to be Tarantino's direct line to critics/audience saying that his movies are too violent. Because, when Django came out, of course, all hell broke loose because of the writer/director being white, knowing damn well what kind of movie he usually makes and the action that's in it. Well, whatever...you know this movie was great when Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan came out in defense of this movie against Spike Lee trying to cancel it & Tarantino, lol.
By far my favourite Tarantino movie, great performances from everyone involved but especially DiCaprio, I cant think of many characters Ive genuinely DETESTED more than Calvin Candie (and whilst a large part of thats down to Tarantinos writting and direction the lions share of the credit goes to Leo who is just incedible here! He's righ up there withe the likes of Geoffry in GoT for characters I want dead more than any other I can think of! Probably more so given this one is more grounded in real history and humanity at its absolute lowest :(
Kerry Washington’s character is named Brumhilda Von Shaft. In Tarantino’s headcannon, she and Django are the ancestors of 1970s detective John Shaft, originally played by Richard Roundtree, but later in a remake by none other than Samuel L. Jackson.
It is a testament to how big Will Smiths ego is that he got the part for Django and then had the cheek to tell Tarantino (the greatest writer/director of his generation) that he would only do the movie if he changed the theme of the movie from a revenge movie to a romance movie. Perhaps he was trying to impress his wife who's name i will keep out of my mouth.
You are definitely right James Remar played two characters in this movie. James is most famous for the cult classic “The Warriors”(1979) as “Ajax”. One of my favorite movies of all time. My friends and I got to see it as teenagers when it came out!!! Cheesy but highly recommend🔥🔥🔥
Leo had real trouble saying the "N Word" so much. Sam Jackson pulled him aside and told him basically to get over it and do his job. Amazing how well this movie pull sin every emotional direction!
@@fuzzylongcat that’s not entirely true, as rubbing your blood on another person without their consent is a huge no-no and would never fly on any film set. They’d get shut down in a millisecond for the health code violations alone and the actor could get charged with assault. What really happened was this: The cut in the wide shot was real. The blood in the wide shot was real. However, the blood in the closeup and smear was not, as it was not shot at the same time, but later after Leo’s wound had been tended too, and with another camera setup. QT loved the take with the blood and so it was incorporated into the next setup and the rest of the scene. But yes, the smear was indeed an improv, but at that point the blood was fake.
You are right about that being the same actor i nthe beginning and when they went to Candyland. It was Tarantino paying homage to old westerns where sometimes they have actors playing multiple parts. Just a subtle thing that some pick up on and some don't
24:31 - He cut his hand the moment he slammed it on the table, accidentally breaking one of the glasses; I guess he misjudged or didn't see it. He really did that, and he really bled for the rest of that scene/take.
He actually cut his hand on the glass in the dinner scene when he hit the glass on the table… but they never yelled cut so that’s his real blood in the scene….
In the scene where they meet Candy the actor that played Django in the 1966 Italian film is the other guy on the sofa. Franco Nero. Nice nod to the original film by Tarantino.
everybody loves Schultz, you can argue that he's not actually a very good man when you really think about but he's so very charming with it that you sort of forgive him.
I don't know if you know but the song "Ancora qui" is performed by the italian singer Elisa, who has been like one of the top 5 female singers here in Italy for the last 20 years and still is ☺️
In the scene with Tarantino, The guy who hands Django the gun, "Don't drop the Fkn thing, Just had the sights fixed and they are perfect", Is Australian, John Jarratt, an ex TV presenter on Australian TV who turned to films, acting and directing. He was the main antagonist in the Wolf Creek films / series, as the Serial Killer, Mick Taylor. ua-cam.com/video/N_YaZ-emcPc/v-deo.html
I don’t know whether Tarantino was paying homage to this but, in old western tv series, you’d often have the same actor appear in more than one episode as different characters. That may be why he had James Remar play two characters in the same movie.
Bloody hand was from hitting the glass on the table. Leo literally injured himself, and they kept rolling. Real blood on Kerry Washingtons face. She had no idea when they filmed. Whew. Hollywood!
It was fake blood. True, he did accidently cut himself badly when slamming the table and continued the take. He received a standing ovation from the cast and crew. After the take they stitched him up. QT loved it and decided to use it so they applied fake blood for continuity. Whether the take when he wipes the fake blood on Washington is improvised is debated but it most certainly is fake blood.
Quentin's Aussie accent was passable. Unless you're an Aussie. I think if he had to do a monologue it's limitations would become apparent but he kept it short and sweet. I was hoping John Jarrett would have a bigger part as he's a brilliant actor. Check out Wolf Creek for a sample of what he can do
When DiCaprio slammed his hand down on the table, he broke the very real glass, he'd been drinking from, and cut the shit out of his hand. They kept filming and he just went with it, that's all his blood.
It's implied, through Hilde's last name, that Django Unchained is a stealth prequel to 1970's blaxpoitation classic Shaft, and Samuel L. Jackson played Shaft (and Shaft's nephew) in the 2000 reboot/sequel Shaft (as well as reprising his role in the 2019 reboot/sequel). Also, the oddly accented man in the... underground boxing match was played by Franco Nero, who originated the original character of Django in the classic Spaghetti Western Django in 1966. He only reprised the role for one of the many (official and unofficial) sequels, in Django Strikes Again! in 1987. (He was also in Die Hard 2, as General Esperanza).
Speaking of revenge movies, have you seen Old Boy yet? It would be challenging to edit but fun to watch. The Korean original please, if you consider doing it.
Fun fact when Leonardo DiCaprio got sad about the hobbits and kicked the helmet and fell down yelling it was because he actually broke his foot on the helmet.

Underappreciated comment.
Eh,what??🤔

Unless you're being sarcastic, the actor was Viggo Mortensen.

15:19 "Walking in the moonlight" Is a reference to lynching. He's basically saying "Keep that up and we'll hang you from a tree, one night".

Think carefully about the brilliance of Waltz's performance in both films. In the 19th Century Austria and Germany were the pinnacle of everything. Music, philosophy, science, human rights...Everything. They viewed slavery as abhorrent just as Waltz portrays. Flash forward a mere 80 years and Waltz in Inglorious Bastards portrays how it all fell apart.
Exactly this.
So true. The tragedy isn't just Schultz dying, but he's oblivious to his descendants will commit genocide on a factory level.

@@tomgolding9478 For some reason my reply disappeared. But essentially it was up and down over centuries. Emperor Joseph awarded several new rights to the Jews. A little after the time the movie is set Franz Joseph is the Austro-Hungarian emperor and he gave the Jews full and equal rights. Budapest is still home to the largest synagogue in Europe on Dohány Street, been there, amazing place seats about 3,000.
FUN FACT: Refined flour (white flour) was pretty new at that time and was considered a rich man’s product, because it took more processing to get the flour to that state. Previously wheat was stone ground and did not have a long shelf life. When it was discovered you could sift out the germ and the bran, the flour was much smoother and lasted much longer. This is why Candy said “We’re going to have white cake.” Because it was pretty rare and pretty awesome. No one could afford to make white cake.
Also the eggs in white cake are only the egg whites no yoke.
I'm pretty sure white flour was used for a long time and was probably first produced in ancient Egypt. It was quite expensive until the 19th century, because wheat was more labor-intensive and white flour - and therefore white bread - was more a thing for special occasions and for the wealthy. Then the costs were reduced extremely quickly with the introduction of industrial processes in the 19th century. I think you are refering to the introduction of roller milling to make white flour, but that was somewhere around 1870, the story of the movie starts in 1859. Recipes for white cake from the 19th century don't really mention any special kind of flour, just "flour". And I would always be careful with saying something like "No one could afford to make X food". Most food options weren't that expensive that it was absolutely not affordable for less rich people, it was just too much for them to spend on a fancy food item. Just like today people could totally buy some expensive food like caviar, they just don't really do it - not even for special occassions - because it's probably not worth it. Rich people don't really have to think about prices for food like that, normal people usually feel they can spend the money for something better. Just like people like to say that salt was so expensive in medieval times. But average people bought salt all the time. Yes, they spent a big chunk of their income for it, but it was still accessable. A bit like motor fuel today. Yes, it's expensive and the people who control the production make a lot of money from it, but even low-income people living in remote areas can buy enough fuel for their 30 year old car.
Awesome. Love these info tidbits.
I believe the double casting of James Remar is an intentional homage to the genre: Back in the day, western movies were shot on the tightest of budgets - so reusing actors for more than one role was not unusual.
I think it's one of Tarantino's small nods to the genre this movie is a loveletter to.
Also, it wasn’t the first time Tarantino double cast someone. Michael Parks played the sheriff at the wedding chapel crime scene and later he plays the pimp when Beatrix is getting closer to Bill. He might have done it before that, but that’s the only other one of which I am aware.
Don't forget Gordon Liu playing Crazy 88 leader and Pai Mei in Kill Bill.
And the three roles that Cheech Marin had in "From Dusk Til Dawn" Cheech plays a Mexican Border guard, the Titty Twister hype man, and the friend that was finally there to meet at dawn.
Yes!!! Good catches
@@musicaleuphoria8699 Gordin Lui is also Sonny chibas sushi apprentice. Triple cast.
This movie is tied to the Kill Bill movies. Avoiding spoilers, in Vol. 2 there’s a scene in a graveyard in El Paso Texas, and you see a gravestone marked Paula Schultz, with the year of death being exactly the same year Dr. King Schultz started bounty hunting.
Wow seen both movies an infinite amount of times but never tought of that!
Really? That's very cool.
@@demis3270 t- that's not how infinite works 🤔

@Latest Obsession of course no one has experienced it lol
That dinner scene should have given Leo his first Oscar because that was incredible!!
The fact that he carried the scene flawlessly with a heavily bleeding hand alone should've won him that Oscar.
He should have gotten an Oscar as soon as Departed, shit even aviator performance was kinda Oscar worthy
Against who did he lost?
@@fredmedrano6584 he never nominated for this role. But instead Christoph Waltz got his oscar for this film.
@@scover3 Unbelievable that he wasn't nominated.
33:22 The range of emotions that Kerry Washington conveys in these few seconds without saying a word is amazing. Terror as she hears someone walking up. Attempting to harden herself as she hears them opening the door. Complete shock verging on tears when she hears his voice. A brief moment of disbelief, like she thinks she only imagined it. Then just a flood of relief and joy as she realizes it's real. Amazing.
The scene with Jonah Hill and Don Johnson is one of the funniest things I have ever seen in a movie theater, people were falling out of their chairs laughing.
Yes it was hilarious. I just about know Django almost verbatim that's how much me and my oldest son always makes jokes or requote the words in this so much. Every ody understood the assignment! 💯 👏🏼
I think DiCaprio's delivery with, "There have been a lot of lies said around this dinner table here tonight, BUT THAT YOU CAN BELIEVE!" might be one of my favourite moments in all of his career
He deserved an Oscar for this, instead of The Revenant
I’m Australian. That’s a South African accent Tarantino has. The other guy is John Jarrett, a well respected Australian actor. He’s got a real Australian accent but he’s overdoing it spectacularly.
"he’s overdoing it spectacularly" -- -- Oh, if only that were true. Some people do talk like that here unfortunately.
@@userxl41drn301 only on the east coast. You'll never find a sandgroper talking like that.
Mick Taylor!
Mick Fucking Taylor.
"Years ago, I would have said I was going to be the hero or Django, but [Tarantino] took too long to write it," Jackson said. "When he sent it to me, he said read the role of Stephen. I read it and was like, 'Oh, you really want me to be the most despised Negro in cinematic history?'
I actually find Calivins (Samuel L Jacksons character) pretty interesting. He is still technically a slave but he is a house slave, seen as higher status back then. Yet here comes Django, a free man. So Calvin spent however many years sucking up to people to get his position just to see like the antithesis of who he is ride in randomly
*Stephen
You can also see how his demeanour instantly changes when he is alone in a room with his "master". They both know he is the brains behind Candyland, but they put on a show for everybody else.
Calvin in Leo's character. Shephen is Sam Jackson's.
You also get the sense that he's internalised a hatred for his own people.
Stephen is more than 'just' a house slave in this movie, he's a fully-fledged friend of- and advisor to 'Mr. Candy'.
In the dinner scene, when you described Samuel as the hype man, he actually came up with that bit of repeating the lines as an add on to Leo's dialogue. He proposed the change to Quentin, and it got put in.
The woman with the red scarf is Zoe Bell. Tarantino met her when she auditioned to be Uma Thurman's stunt double for the Kill Bill movies. They became really good friends during those movies and since then she's been either a stunt double and/or an actress in every Tarantino movie. The most on screen time she had in a Tarantino movie was in Death Proof, where she played herself.
If I’m not mistaken she was supposed to have a bigger part in this movie but it just never happened
Tarantino's partner in the slave running is the actor, John Jarrett who is Australian. It was easier for Tarantino to do an Aussie accent than it ws for Jarrett to do an American accent.
Tarantino also seems to include an Australia reference most of his films:
- Pulp Fiction, the watch is on the Kangaroo.
- Kill Bill, they say that Bill was mining for silver in Perth.
- Death Proof, Lee mistakes Zoe for Australian. Zoe also mentions playing Ship's Mast in Australia.
- Inglorious Basterds, it sounds like the clip about nitrate film might have been from Australia.
- Hateful 8, Daisy sings Jim Jones At Botany Bay.
- Once Upon A Time In Holliwood... casting Margot Robie, I guess.
I don't know about Reservoir Dogs or Jackie Brown, though.
If you're checking out missed Tarantino movies, don't miss Jackie Brown. It's excellent and everyone misses it.
And natural born killers...
Sure it's a Oliver Stone movie but technically also a tarantino movie because he wrote it...
and dont forget Deathproof , its a great movie
@@GarmrsBarking gonna add True Romance to that too
Agreed. Jackie Brown is so under appreciated when speaking of Tarantino's filmography.
@@GarmrsBarking Tarantino has basically disowned that movie.
24:43 The hand of DiCaprio was bloody because when he smashed the table broke a glass cutting his hand. This really happened during the shooting of the scene but DiCaprio continued in character as nothing happened so Tarantino continued the take.
Absolute fucking incredible acting!!!
It wasn't a weird thing about Waltz's character being German. It's documented that Immigrant Germans were against slavery in the US from early to mid 1800s. I would assume that's why he wrote him that way. (Yes, I know they were referring to his role in inglorious basterds to this...calm down.)
Django unchained is a homage to the good old Italo Westerns, which were known for their very hard, brutal style and for the rider who takes revenge at the end.
Franco Nero, who is allowed to play in this film, was the original Django. Emigrants from German-speaking countries actually had mostly no slaves, for them hard work was part of life, the majority of them served in the Union army in the Civil War, among other things, for the south fought far fewer and many of them not really voluntarily.
Unfortunately, there were also a few slave traders , but that wasn't the bulk.
Tarantino is a fan of the German
Karl May films and Dr. King Schultz was influenced by them.
They're not called 'spaghetti westerns' for nothing :D
13:26 Ladies and gentlemen, we are enjoying the company of the legendary, the one and only, Franco Nero. The original Django from good old 1966. The fact that the old and new Django are together at the bar, talking about the nature of the name... and the new Django explaining to the old that the D in Django is spoken silently, to which old Django replies "I know." Quentin Tarantino Filmmaking Masterclass!
Fun Fact:::The blood on Leonardo DiCaprio hand was real that's when he slammed his hand on the table and he really cut his hand open that tells you what type of amazing actor he is to stay in character he was improvising
Better fact: yes he really cut his hand, but they cut after noticing and patched him up. But Tarantino liked it and added fake blood to keep the scene going
Hilde didn't JUST faint from seeing Django - but from heat exhaustion, & dehydration, as well as the shock of the water she was drinking, to her system. Also the relief she felt seeing Django dressed well, like a white man, & armed. It was All a shock to her senses...anyone who's ever experienced heat exhaustion & dehydration, knows what that feels like, & how sick it can make you feel.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Quentin Tarantino is a lunatic. But, its undeniable that he's one of the greatest directors in the history of Hollywood cinema, perhaps in the top 10. Great reaction! 👍🏿
He’s a director who truly loves cinema and puts his heart and soul into his profession, the result being extremely personal and lovable films that just have so much character to them.
Ooh so good. Sam Jackson plays just such a nasty jerk, and gotta love evil Leo. More Tarantino films is doing all of us a great service.
No, Hateful 8 was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen
12:08
The neck-hooks were used on those who were considered "flight risks", for want of a better term,
to make running through woods and dense undergrowth impossible.
Some of them also had jingle bells on the prongs so that the wearer couldn't stop making noise.
I find instruments of cruelty rather fascinating;
they're often much more creative and varied than our more benevolent inventions...
Considering Waltz won both Oscars for acting in Tarantino's films, DJANGO was the more surprising (but then again, his Doctor character here is hysterical)
Tarantino often uses one actor to play several roles. It’s a technique that directors used to do a lot in the old days to save on costs.
That was indeed a real horse that fell. One that had been trained to remain calm during it, with trainers and crew members making sure it is as safe for the horse to fall over as it would be for a human to fall over.
9:00 or so, the theater audience wasn't expecting this. The laughter was kinda nervous at first, and then it just got louder and louder as the scene went on.
Monty Python level comedy, in such a serious film.
13:09 yes that's James Remar ..again
Quentin probably just thought he didn't get enough screen time earlier.
Or he played a twin. Probably what Tarantino would say.
Imo it's more like Mel Brooks "Blazing Saddles" when they're gathering the worst people in the west to make up the gang to raid Rock Ridge.
Even better comparison, 😉👍was just the first funny thing I thought of.
Maybe in "Life of Brian" when they're questioning what have the 'Bloody Romans ever done for us..' and random people in the room keep piping in. And in "Django" with those hoods on you can't tell who's speaking. Really funny though.
I thought it was Python humor with some Mel Brooks humor.
The Producers=Inglorious Basterds
Blazing Saddles=Django Unchained
My thinking about this scene is that when they wear the hoods normally, their greatest weapon is fear. By making them the comic relief and the hoods something to be laughed at, their power was taken away.
Beggining of the movie:
Q.T.: Blows horse brains out with lot of blood.
End of the movie:
Q.T.: "No horses were harmed in the making of this movie."
Simone: 😁
I still remember the day when me and my friend went to watch this on the cinema, when Django said he would pick his own clothes, my friend said “He’s gonna dress up like a pimp” the row behind us giggled, and when the reveal happened, everyone was laughing their asses off, it was glorious
Samuel Jackson was the narrator in Inglorious Bastards. Quintin loves making movies w/ his group of friends. Watching his movies you’ll see the same people over and over again. Leo hurt his hand when he shattered the skull in the table. He really cut open his hand filming the scene & everyone was terrified. He kept filming regardless. Such an amazing scene in an amazing movie with an outstanding cast.
Fun fact Leonardo Actually cut his hand open when he slammed it on the glass he wasn't actually faking it nor was it fake blood that he wiped on Hilda. Also great reaction!
Dude we know
Everyone keeps repeating this but I really REALLY hope they did cut the scene before he wipes blood on Kerry Washington to at least ask her first because I would be so upset and angry if a co-worker smeared his actual blood on me. That's a health concern man.
This is partially incorrect. Yes, he did cut his hand, but he did not smear real blood on her face. That would've been a major health and safety violation, which is illegal and would never in a million years be allowed. They replaced the blood with fake blood for that take.
@@ItsLexy It seems it was completely unscripted he wasn't even suppose to grab her face let alone with his bloody hand.
the blood smearing on the face was fake blood. they cut and treated his injury
If you didn't catch it Django said Auf Wiedersehen to Schultz's corpse, if you remember Schultz said to Mr Candy that Auf Wiedersehen means "see you again" and so he will just say goodbye instead to him instead.
The unexpected raid scene with the "bags" was so hilariously satisfying that it had almost most of us in tears of laughter in theatres lmao.
Leo actually cut his hand on the glass in that scene where his hand started bleeding, but he just kept on acting and they kept it in the movie.
Definitely one of the best Tarantino movies. So many good scenes!
Good picturing of the christian values against other people , its still alive and doing well in US of A , go figure .
And this is close to the reality of that ere in southern states .
@@pete_lind Ah yes, the country so racist people have to fake hate crimes against themselves 😂
@@pete_lind So you drank the kool aid huh?
Y’all rock! Sam Jackson’s character wasn’t faking. There’s an old saying about “dying on your feet,” that’s why he tossed the cane. Look closely and he still hobbled toward Django.
Seeing it again, Tarantino definitely got some inspiration from Blazing Saddles for this one. And that little cameo by Franco Nero seems to escape everybody. He was the original Jango and they used the intro song from his movie for this one.
I’m sure someone mentioned it somewhere but Leo actually cut his hand when he slammed it down on the table, and he just kept on acting. When the scene was over the entire cast and directing team gave him a standing ovation❤️ amazing acting
Christolph Waltz is an absolute treasure. Can be terrifying, can be some of the best comedic reflief out there.
24:39 he slammed his hand down on the table and smashed a glass.... in real life... he played through the scene like it was part of it.... such phenomenal acting!
I found your channel about 2 weeks ago, subbed after the first watch... And you guys have quickly become one of my go-to channels. So less "performative" than others, you guys seem really genuine - makes my day!
Just in case it hasnt already been said by someone else; Leo actually injured his hand slamming the table and breaking a glass but kept the scene going regardless! Turned out super well honestly
One of the more interesting things about this movie is that while Christoph Waltz is certainly a likable character, he ultimately isn't quite as good a guy as he presents himself. The second half of the movie is largely about respectability politics, and/or the hard-earned ability to grin and take it. As a slave, Django has already endured any number of cruelties and every kind of racist discrimination humans can think up, so keeping his cool in the environment of Candyland is no problem for him. Schultz thinks of himself as enlightened, and he's certainly not a bigot like the slave owners, but he has the thin skin of somebody who hasn't had to endure what Django has lived through, and thus he can't swallow his pride long enough to shake Calvin's hand so that he and Django can escape peacefully with Broomhilda (which would let Calvin off scot-free, but would be safer for all three of them).
Schultz has a mirror in the form of Stephen. Stephen is a man who has accepted to the point of furthering his oppressor's goals and power. He hates Django because Django has endured but not broken. Both Stephen and Django are acting out of self-preservation, but Stephen has had to sell his soul and his people out in order to do it. In the end, Django proves that he's better than both of them. He is freed twice in the movie: once by Dr. Schultz's hand, but the second and more important time, by his own.
Being thin skinned has nothing to do with being either a good or a bad guy. I also disagree that it was pride. It was not pride, it was indignation. Which makes him a better guy than he presents himself... to a fault, unfortunately.
@@Dacre1000 I mean, it was indignation, but the source of it was pride. In the grand scheme of things, it's not like it somehow means anything to give Calvin the handshake he wanted. It would have gotten everyone out safely, and they still could've found a way to blow up Candyland. It's not to say that he should want to shake the guy's hand, of course. But it was an obvious goad from Calvin, and Dr. Schultz took the bait.
I admit this is less of a moral failing, so "good" vs "bad" was probably the wrong way to put it. It's a character flaw. But it is a shortcoming.
@@tylerfoster6267 Yeah, the handshake was a symbolic acknowledgement that Candie outsmarted Schultz and only let Broomhilda free because he is really a businessman at heart who cares about money, not because he is cruel or immoral. We, the audience, and Schultz know that this is blatantly untrue, that Candie is not smart enough to discover the plan (Stephen was), and that he's selling Broomhilda only to fake magnanimity and humiliate Schultz (flashbacks to the slave being eaten alive).
It also destroys Shultz's internal narrative as the savior, when he described the myth of Brynhild to Django. In the end, he chose to make a "noble" sacrifice to kill Candie and make him the hero of his own story rather than caring about the lives of Django and Broomhilda. It's indicative of Shultz's true character.
Uhhh, yes, he is as good a guy as he presents himself to be. He’s just human. Having “thin skin” doesn’t make him less of a good man.
@@SnailHatanyeah but he choose to kill Calvin even though it meant his friend and wife might die. It represents white people who hate racist white people so much that hurting them becomes the goal more than helping the oppressed.
Di Caprio's hand cut was real, it was not planned, he hit the table and there was just a glass and he cut himself with the glass of it.
Nominated for 5 Oscars including Best Picture but won for
Best Original Screenplay
Best Supporting Actor Christoph Waltz.
Imagine being in a Move with Jamie Fox, Tarantino, Sam Jackson and DeCaprio as some Austrian Actor and you outshine all of them, Christoph is just a gifted actor, i m so impressed.
I'm sure I'm repeating th I s, but when Leonardo DiCaprio's hand started bleeding, it was because he accidentally broke a glass when he slammed his hand on the table, but due the depth of his immersion in the moment, he fi ished the scene with a bleeding hand. The take was so on point, they kept it, and wrote in the injury for later scenes.
The opening scene/credits were shot in the Alabama Hills, on rte 395 in the Eastern Sierra/California. The hills have long been a favored location site for Hollywood since the 1910s. In the town of Lone Pine, which fronts the hills, there’s a wonderful museum of film and TV history for shows shot in the Alabama Hills. QT has donated the tooth carriage, as well as many pieces of memorabilia from the movie. For anyone who’s a film fan or buff, I strongly recommend a visit! It’s western-heavy, but episodes of STDS9, Tremors, Ironman, and many other shows were shot there.
Sam Jackson narrated the whole Hugo Stiglitz flashback in Inglorious Bastards.
Also the part describing nitrate film.
Oogoh schtigleetz
Dicaprio cut his hand when he slapped the desk (there was a glass) and it was real! it wasnt fake, but he kept acting
Such a masterpiece of a movie, like most of his movies. And Christoph waltz is the GOAT!!
Christoph Waltz only agreed to be in another one of Tarantino's movies if he played the good guy, after his infamous role as a Nazi in Inglorious Basterds .
Yeah this was 1 of his more better movies
Leonardo DiCaprio cut his hand in that scene for real, and kept going despite his blood dripping. What you see in this scene is Leo caprio actually bleeding
“It’s funny he’s still playing a German.”
I mean, he IS a German.
I havent seen it in the comments so there the answer. Leo's hand is full of blood after diner because when he shouted and bang the table, he actually hurt his hand for real on a piece and he kept acting, adding some momentum. (They did clean him before he rob it in the face of Hildy)
Leo cut his hand on that glass when he yelled and slammed his hand on the table. Got 8 stitches
That woman who had the scarf over her face -- she's Zoe Bell. She was the stunt double for Uma Thurman in Kill Bill, plus she's been in a few other Tarantino movies.
If you want Tarantino's best "foot" scene, look no further than From Dusk til Dawn with Salma Hayek.
All the violence and gore in that movie doesn't phase me, but that scene...🤢🤮
@@DementedDistraction, hahahah very understandable. However, I don't have a foot fetish myself but if the goddess that is Salma Hayek wanted to stick her foot in my mouth, I'd happily oblige.
@@DementedDistraction lol don't get me wrong Salma Hayek is gorgeous, but you couldn't pay me to drink beer off her feet
Christoph Waltz is a highly respected actor in his native Austria. He won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for this film, as well as Inglourious Basterds. He also plays the villainous Blofeld in two James Bond movies, Spectre and No Time To Die.
@x So you're saying Hans Landa and Dr. King Schultz are the same character?
What colour is the sky on the planet you're from?
24:30 - Leo actually cut his hand when he slammed it on the table. The blood in this scene is real. He stayed in character and they kept filming. It ended up in the final version of the film. A testament to the type of actor he is and commitment he has to a role.
Dcaprio cut his hand during that scene it was real and he continued didn't miss a beat.
Gotta say, movie was fantastic, acting was fenomenal: we empathized with Django, felt ofended as Schultz, hatted Candy, fell in love with Broomhilda and wanted to kill Steven, all of them were just perfect!
Dr king Schultz is one of the best characters in movie history
Ever sense Quentin Tarantino said all his movies are in the same universe I've loved them more because that means there are possibly vampires in the movies without us really knowing. If that makes sense?
Not really, From dusk till' dawn is a Robert Rodriguez's film
@@agusbancala4357 directed yes. But the story was written by Quentin Tarantino
The same actor, James Remar, is a throw back to old westerns when actors would play more than one character in a movie.
That Schultz line when he kills Candie of, "I couldn't resist", *I Think* was intended to be Tarantino's direct line to critics/audience saying that his movies are too violent. Because, when Django came out, of course, all hell broke loose because of the writer/director being white, knowing damn well what kind of movie he usually makes and the action that's in it. Well, whatever...you know this movie was great when Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan came out in defense of this movie against Spike Lee trying to cancel it & Tarantino, lol.
The girl with the red scarf is Zoe Bell. She's a stuntwoman from New Zealand who has been in other Quentin Tarantino movies.
By far my favourite Tarantino movie, great performances from everyone involved but especially DiCaprio, I cant think of many characters Ive genuinely DETESTED more than Calvin Candie (and whilst a large part of thats down to Tarantinos writting and direction the lions share of the credit goes to Leo who is just incedible here! He's righ up there withe the likes of Geoffry in GoT for characters I want dead more than any other I can think of! Probably more so given this one is more grounded in real history and humanity at its absolute lowest :(
i can think of lower
If Dolores Umbridge was living in that time and place, she would work for Calvin Candy.
Candie was so-detestable and racist that even DiCaprio himself was uncomfortable with the role
Kerry Washington’s character is named Brumhilda Von Shaft. In Tarantino’s headcannon, she and Django are the ancestors of 1970s detective John Shaft, originally played by Richard Roundtree, but later in a remake by none other than Samuel L. Jackson.
It is a testament to how big Will Smiths ego is that he got the part for Django and then had the cheek to tell Tarantino (the greatest writer/director of his generation) that he would only do the movie if he changed the theme of the movie from a revenge movie to a romance movie. Perhaps he was trying to impress his wife who's name i will keep out of my mouth.
Oh man am I glad that Smith fucked this up. I can't see him doing this as well as Foxx
You are definitely right James Remar played two characters in this movie. James is most famous for the cult classic “The Warriors”(1979) as “Ajax”. One of my favorite movies of all time. My friends and I got to see it as teenagers when it came out!!! Cheesy but highly recommend🔥🔥🔥
As an Australian I approve of Tarantino’s accent although there was a second there it leaned into New Zealand…👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Also maybe a little South African.
Leo had real trouble saying the "N Word" so much. Sam Jackson pulled him aside and told him basically to get over it and do his job. Amazing how well this movie pull sin every emotional direction!
24:32, Leo did smash that glass when he slammed his fist on the table which caused him to bleed
To add to this, his grabbing the actress and rubbing blood on her face was unscripted, the horror on her face is real.
which was an accident and he really bled and not scripted/fake blood
@@fuzzylongcat that’s not entirely true, as rubbing your blood on another person without their consent is a huge no-no and would never fly on any film set. They’d get shut down in a millisecond for the health code violations alone and the actor could get charged with assault. What really happened was this: The cut in the wide shot was real. The blood in the wide shot was real. However, the blood in the closeup and smear was not, as it was not shot at the same time, but later after Leo’s wound had been tended too, and with another camera setup. QT loved the take with the blood and so it was incorporated into the next setup and the rest of the scene. But yes, the smear was indeed an improv, but at that point the blood was fake.
@@thormelsted True
@@thormelsted this
You are right about that being the same actor i nthe beginning and when they went to Candyland. It was Tarantino paying homage to old westerns where sometimes they have actors playing multiple parts. Just a subtle thing that some pick up on and some don't
You should check out the original Django movie from 1966, a very revolutionary western for it's time, and an all-time classic.
definitely . a great movie about mud and dead bodies.
24:31 - He cut his hand the moment he slammed it on the table, accidentally breaking one of the glasses; I guess he misjudged or didn't see it. He really did that, and he really bled for the rest of that scene/take.
This movie is so intense. I was exhausted and out of breath once it was done, but my God it was amazing!
Yes it was. I loved it! About to watch it now til it's watching me. 👀 😴
He actually cut his hand on the glass in the dinner scene when he hit the glass on the table… but they never yelled cut so that’s his real blood in the scene….
He hurt his hand when he slammed the table. he accidentally smashed a glass and was legit bleeding badly from a nasty cut.
In the scene where they meet Candy the actor that played Django in the 1966 Italian film is the other guy on the sofa. Franco Nero. Nice nod to the original film by Tarantino.
everybody loves Schultz, you can argue that he's not actually a very good man when you really think about but he's so very charming with it that you sort of forgive him.
He may not be a very good person, but IIRC he holds the distinction of being the only person in this movie to actually say that slavery is bad.
@@dougallen9689 oh sure compared to every other character in the movie he looks like saint. he is very well written.
I don't know if you know but the song "Ancora qui" is performed by the italian singer Elisa, who has been like one of the top 5 female singers here in Italy for the last 20 years and still is ☺️
In the scene with Tarantino, The guy who hands Django the gun, "Don't drop the Fkn thing, Just had the sights fixed and they are perfect", Is Australian, John Jarratt, an ex TV presenter on Australian TV who turned to films, acting and directing. He was the main antagonist in the Wolf Creek films / series, as the Serial Killer, Mick Taylor.
ua-cam.com/video/N_YaZ-emcPc/v-deo.html
I don’t know whether Tarantino was paying homage to this but, in old western tv series, you’d often have the same actor appear in more than one episode as different characters. That may be why he had James Remar play two characters in the same movie.
Please watch the STAR TREK movies! 🖖
Bloody hand was from hitting the glass on the table. Leo literally injured himself, and they kept rolling. Real blood on Kerry Washingtons face. She had no idea when they filmed. Whew. Hollywood!
It was fake blood. True, he did accidently cut himself badly when slamming the table and continued the take. He received a standing ovation from the cast and crew. After the take they stitched him up. QT loved it and decided to use it so they applied fake blood for continuity. Whether the take when he wipes the fake blood on Washington is improvised is debated but it most certainly is fake blood.
Quentin's Aussie accent was passable. Unless you're an Aussie.
I think if he had to do a monologue it's limitations would become apparent but he kept it short and sweet.
I was hoping John Jarrett would have a bigger part as he's a brilliant actor.
Check out Wolf Creek for a sample of what he can do
Tarantino also plays the Hooded guy who’s like “ no fingers pointed, they could have been done better. “
Django's horse, Tony, is actually Jamie Foxx's real life horse, Cheetah. He got him about 4 years before filming Django.
When DiCaprio slammed his hand down on the table, he broke the very real glass, he'd been drinking from, and cut the shit out of his hand. They kept filming and he just went with it, that's all his blood.
It's implied, through Hilde's last name, that Django Unchained is a stealth prequel to 1970's blaxpoitation classic Shaft, and Samuel L. Jackson played Shaft (and Shaft's nephew) in the 2000 reboot/sequel Shaft (as well as reprising his role in the 2019 reboot/sequel).
Also, the oddly accented man in the... underground boxing match was played by Franco Nero, who originated the original character of Django in the classic Spaghetti Western Django in 1966. He only reprised the role for one of the many (official and unofficial) sequels, in Django Strikes Again! in 1987.
(He was also in Die Hard 2, as General Esperanza).

Speaking of Korean revenge movies:
The Man From Nowhere

PLEASE, the Korean original version if so
The woman with red scarf/mask is Zoe Bell if I'm not mistaken. I guess she was just there for fun. She's the go-to stunt-woman for Tarantino.
