the Spanish Gentleman (Franco Nero) who lost the mandingo fight is the OG Django from the 60's spaghetti westerns. That "I know" line hits different now
He also played the white Ninja in Enter the Ninja.
I never knew that, thanks.
He is Italian, not Spanish
"Blueberry, didn't I give you my last apple??" always kills me 😂😂
"No one could have played this as smooth as Jamie Foxx"
That's the truth! RIP Dr. Schultz, and _bravo_ to Mr. Waltz and Mr. Foxx!
True. It was actually offered to Will Smith first and he turned it down, thank god.
I don't think Dr Shultz is a terrible loser, it's more about the fact he can't get over Calvin is allowed to continue living and doing this to these poor people. I think this is proven by him being pushed so far he decides to kill Calvin, knowing he would be killed after, he didn't even try to avoid it. He sacrificed his own life to make sure Calvin lost his.
this. his dislike of Slavery is made clear throughout the movie, especially in the beginning when he informs the newly free slaves of moving to a more "enlightened" part of the country, indicating he sees slavery as archaic and barbaric.
Wild animals are people?
@@milekralj2375 at least make a proper effort when trying to toll by instigating
No. He was just pissed at the arrogance and disrespect of Calvin. Like he said, he couldn't help himself. You wanna push it ,numbnuts, fine, let's die...
I think that with Dr. Schulz (and specifically with the casting of Christoph Waltz) Tarantino is telling a cautionary tale. Here as a german immigrant with his mid-'800 european culture he's offended and disgusted by the cruelty and inhumanity of slavery. And yet, just 100 years later that same culture will spawn nazism and the horrors that we've seen in "Inglorious Basterds".
The wiping of the blood off his face immediately after shooting that first guy, and jumping against the door on that guy outside the room. Amazing.
Reviewers don't mention this, and it is a subtle but realistic touch.
“Bye miss Laura!”
BOOM!
😂
I can’t help it. I know it’s a violent scene, but it’s also hilarious.
Violence against slave owners don't really count lmao
It's almost uncomfortable how Tarantino can make a brutal murder hilarious, lol.
GREAT MOVIE. I remember shedding a few tears of happiness when that one slave guy realized that Jamie Fox( Django) was only acting like a slave owner. What a relief.
Love ur commentary.
Ur "Steven" story....wow
$12,000 in 1858 is equivalent to around $435,000 today.
"the D is silent" that line... hes talking to the original Django from 1966
I find it nice that the guy who stood up for his wife was the only one that lived
I don’t know if this is something anyone saw and talks about since I’ve just finished the movie myself but at the end after the house exploded, Django walks through a piece of wood that’s on fire towards Brunhilde. That completed the story about the hero walking through hellfire for Brunhilde …
Django was originally offered to Will Smith. But after a number of conversations with Tarantino he turned it down. Ther's a video of him explaining why on UA-cam.
Good call for not ruining Quentin's movie, Will. "preciate it!
If Leo EVER deserved an Oscar (which we all know he does with basically every role), it was for this. He was perfect.
And as great as he was, he absolutely struggled with both the dialogue and Calvin's outright evil. To the point where Jamie and Samuel had to speak with him and explain the importance of why he had to portray that as best he could. The more evil Calvin was, the more satisfying his death would be when he finally bought the farm. And it certainly was.
@@QoQabai658 I heard that story. The next day Leo was so in character that he was 'cold' towards Jamie when they're not acting 😂
The performance was mediocre by his standards. Wolf of Wall Street he should have got an oscar.
@@One.Zero.One101 I won't argue this.
Leo finally got an Oscar, and all it took was getting mauled by a frigging bear
Nominated for 6 Oscars including Best Picture but won for
Best Original Screenplay
Best Supporting Actor Christoph Waltz
One of your best reactions. BTW -
The mandingo owner who ask Django his name, is THE ORIGINAL DJANGO, Franco Nero. Look him up
30:47 He was. Alexandre Dumas's paternal grandmother was a slave bought by a French marquis to be his concubine. He sold her and their three children but later bought back their son, Thomas-Alexandre. Thomas-Alexandre ended up eventually being given his freedom and becoming the first man of Afro-Achillean descent to rise to the position of General in the French army. Apparently his son Alexandre based the heroes of his books off stories of his father.
This is probably my all time favorite movie.
Leo's performance is unreal....evil personafied......another overlooked performance from one of the last movie stars
This movie is infamous for its many anachronisms. Among them are:
Beer on tap
Belt loops
Dynamite
The bust of Nefertiti
The KKK
Cigarette holders
The word Motherf*****
The word Mandingo
The Australian accent
Fur Elise by Beethoven
Dude: you still haven't Jackie Brown? THAT'S the Tarantino movie I want to see you do! Samuel Jackson, Robert De Niro, Pam Grier, Michael Keaton, Chris Tucker, Bridget Fonda, etc. Please, seriously, put that way up high on your list. That is one of Samuel Jackson's greatest performances, and definitely in a Tarantino movie (although, he's great in all of them, obviously!).
Fun fact: Leo actually had to get stitches cause he smashed his hand on that glass, causing his hand to bleed. I think that was still real blood he put on Kerry Washington's face.
No way, they would never allow that (in modern Hollywood) with all the movie union restrictions! Yes, he did cut himself, got some medical assistance, but the follow up scene was improvised with fake blood.
@@peterengelen2794 that's not what circulates in the internet. The story is that WAS real blood on her face, actually.
@@TheDravic ''what circulates on the internet'' 😂🤣 you probably also think they filmed that whole dinner sequence within an half hour....
@@peterengelen2794 No, I am not ignorant, I am saying this is what circulates the internet. Simply searching "leonardo dicaprio blood django" will reveal hundreds if not thousands of instances of people claiming this to be the case. So I am not saying that it was real blood, I am saying that this is what people mostly believe. Reality is often disappointing - although in this case I think it's actually rather comforting to know it wasn't real blood on the actress's face.
The blood Leo wipes on her face is fake. The blood you see after he first hits the table is real. He did cut his hand but it had been cleaned and bandaged when he grabs her face.
Django 2012 - Name's Django. The D is silent.
Django 1966 - I know.
Good reaction as always mate from the UK North of England
I love Django Unchained, its one of my all time favourite films. You called it the superhero pose. Django reminded me of Superman in that blue suit...haha.. But its the scene after the shootout in Candie's house when they capture Django and he has to surrender and they start playing that song Freedom, by Richie Havens, that had me on the edge of my seat and made me cry for real in the theater. Everything that happens in the film is leading up to that moment and I was so caught up in the story and it was like being slapped in the face. Every one always talks about the performances by Sam Jackson and Leonardo, but I thought Jamie Foxx was just as great as they were and should have gotten an Oscar, too.
4:00 You gentlemen have two choices. One, you can ✨ta-daa✨
I'm surprised you haven't done The Hateful Eight. Imo every bit as good as Django. Another brilliant Tarrentino masterpiece!
Fun fact 1: When Leo slams his hand on the table and breaks the glass that wasn't scripted and he actually cut his hand but Leo kept going and Quentin kept it in the scene.
Fun fact 2: The man Django talks to at the bar and says "The D is silent" to played the original Django in an older movie that Quentin's Django is based off of.
Awesome Movie and Work Bro, Thanks 👍👍👍 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
First time watching. Thanks for the excellent reaction and analysis. Hopping over to see some more!
As much as I love Waltz, DiCaprio and Jackson were certainly up there. Apart from that... I really have nothing to add. You said it all. Great reaction!
And yeah, give some people a bit of power over others, they´d sell their grandma and her dog to stay in position.
One of my fave smooth Jamie Foxx movie is STEALTH. A very underrated movie great effects and action. Very smart. Has the biggest explosion ever put on film. Got international attention
You can pump up that Austin Powers outfit all you like but if she saw him on the horse, in that outfit, she would've stayed at Candyland.. 😂
As a British guy, I love this movie. I’m going to get a little French bull soon. You know I’m calling at Django
Some people just aren’t happy unless someone else is unhappy.
That is the shout out of the century. My wife (I sometimes don't listen well enough) but I'm pretty sure Mr.Little is my wife's great great grand cousin I think.
I saw this one in the cinema. Tarantino does such a good job at introducing characters. Just that little bit where Brunhilde sits under that tree saying "They call me Hildy" and then the scene where Django and her try to run away, was enough to make everyone sympathize with them. When they whip Hildy for the first time the entire Audience flinched like it was them being hit.
Oh I love this movie, I watch it at least once a year, just like Kill Bill. When I first saw it in the cinema I actually didn't recognize Samuel L. Jackson for a good 15 seconds until he started speaking, he changed his demeanor so well for this role.
As for the personal story, it's really sad that there are so many people who, when they look at you and think you look similar to them or you are from the same country/community, they feel it's not fair that you're doing better than them. They try to prevent you from suceeding or even just doing your everyday things so they feel better about themselves.
I have a friend of mine, who happens to be black and has a child with a german girl. Once he was to meet up with his brother in law who works in a big german bank. Very similar story to yours: the black security guy didn't let him in to the bank because he didn't believe him about meeting his brother in law there. The relative showed up in a few mins and had to clear the situation.
I also experienced something like that at my first job after I moved abroad. There was only one woman from my country working there and she always badmouthed me when she saw me talking to our manager, she told me that it doesn't matter how kind and encouraging our manager sounded I shouldn't believe her because she is just lying and all of these people in this country I just moved to are hating us because we come from our country. So I should just stay in my position and be very thankful for it because I couldn't do better anyways
Leo did cut his hand but if you go back they cut the scene and got him cleaned up before he put his hand on her face.
the scene where he rubbed the blood on her face WAS improvised he cut his hand when he slammed it on a glass on the table and decided to use it in the scene, as you can imagine the actress was mortified but after the scene ended everyone there went into a standing ovation
he really did cut his hand, but the scene where he smears the blood on Kerry's face, that was a different take
they cleaned him up and they used fake blood for that
God, I love this movie. Can’t wait for your reaction.
Wow, your personal ''Stephen'' story (speechless)... P.E.ace from overseas, The Netherlands.
Waltz & Werner Herzog need to do a buddy bountykiller western today, discussing the existential nature of the battle at the end of each gunfight in that hilarious accent.
Excellent analysis, brother. 👍
$12,000 was roughly $460,000 in 1858. Not 5 million, but more than enough for a slaver to give up his prized “possession”.
Value of $12,000 from 1858 to 2023
$12,000 in 1858 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $440,253.66 today, an increase of $428,253.66 over 165 years.
Significance in scenes: Django didn't have his own plan at Candyland. The plan was to Offer and absurd amount of money for a mandingo. Conduct business while introducing Django's wife in the mix. Ask to buy Django's wife for a low price while negotiations were going smooth. The offer was 12000 but they could've negotiated for a lessor quality mandingo and throw in Django's wife to seal the deal. Only spend 5000. After leaving, free the mandingo, and Django has his wife. Things didn't go as planned, Django wavered, Stephen figured it out, Dr. Shultz's guilt in witnessing the death of slaves in gruesome ways and disgust for Calvin led to his own demise. The scene where the slave in the cage smiled at Django riding off.. He was never hating on Django. The position Django played was the position of a loyal puppet of Dr. Shultz. betraying slaves and aiding in their deaths to live comfortably. The moment he betrayed the white men and subsequently freed them too, that's why he smiled. Because he understood then that who he thought Django was.. was an act the whole time. It was a sign of newfound respect and admiration.
If you guys want to see a good Samuel L Jackson stone-cold movie in recent years, watch Unthinkable. It's about an interrogator willing to do anything to a guy who knows where timed nuclear weapons are about to explode in multiple cities. It gets pretty dark with a lot of savagery. Sam is one of a few actors who can convince me in those eyes. And you're right, here they were dark as hades.
Great reaction! This is an amazing film. Everyone killed their roles. I go back and fourth between Django and Inglorious Bastards as my favorite Tarantino film. Unfortunately, many of us knows a Steven sadly
That security guard is definitely a Steven. Lol
29:35 Yes its real blood, DiCaprio cut his hand when he slammed his hand on the table.
Yes that was not part of the script. However they did cut and clean the hand and add fake blood back to the hand when he rubbed it on her face. He didn't actually rub his own blood on her face. Rubbing the blood wasn't in the script because him cutting his hand wasn't in the script obviously. So he filmed his spoken lines with the cut and because of the blood and them knowing that that scene was going to be fucking gold, they added the part where you rub the blood in her face after the fact.
@@thickerconstrictor9037 Thanks that makes it less gross. I didn't know that.
16:48 BTW it seems you didn't knew this but the movie is kind of a remake (just kind of) from an old movie called Django. And the guy at the bar is Franco Nero, the original 60s Django doing a cameo.
“Are you positive”
“I don’t know”
“You don’t know if you’re positive means”
“It means your sure”
“I’m sure that’s Ellis brittle”
“I’m positive he’s dead”
One of my favorite dialogues of any piece of media
Always enjoyed watching this film.
34:10 he looks demonically possessed
This movie is the best 1858 Remington (actual name Remington New model Army )commercial in existence. They literally use every single type model they made!!! I even had two before I even saw this movie!!! Technically they didn’t exist in 1858!!! They were patented in 1858 weren’t sold until at least 1861. Real production was in 1863 ish. But it was the second most used gun in the civil war.
As for Steven, crabs in a bucket my friend. Whenever a crab is about to climb out, one of the other crabs will grab it and pull it back in.
Jamie is from Texas he has horses and that's his horse he used in the movie
Mizz Laura’s death had me dying first time I saw this movie
"Since clevon little" lol
I enjoyed watching it again.
Samuel L. Jackson reminded me of The Boondocks Uncle Ruckus 🤣
"We all know why he couldn't win an Oscar for this role, in this movie."
Do we? I don't.
10:58 iconic scene
The only bit I don't understand is why Dr Schultz didn't shoot Butch immediately after shooting Calvin. 🤔
Paraphrasing a bit, Django says, In 76 yrs on this plantation, you've seen all manner of shxt done to n's but I've noticed...He goes on to say how many n's you see coming through here.. 7000? 8..9.. 9999?? This statement was made in distaste that Stephen had contributed to so many deaths of other slaves as a slave himself. Also, Stephen held his grudge against Django after Calvin's death because Stephen saw Calvin Candy as FAMILY more than boss. He wasn't stupid though. He wasn't stupid though. His lifestyle was in jeopardy with Calvin gone. Who would take over Candyland? To secure his future as an intrical part of Candyland and an easy lifestyle, he needed to keep order, punish Django very well, be there in grief of Calvin and find the right person to get in charge that would allow him to keep his position.
Still Tarantino's BEST work / GREATEST film!
Other than the original Django showing up, my favorite Easter Egg was implying that Django n Hildie were the ancestors of SHAFT ❤!
RIP to all the victims of American enslavement.
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah.
He really cut his hand and kept the scene going but he did NOT put real blood on her. They didn't cut when he first cut it, but they did clean the wound and add fake blood after the fact to rub on her face.
You see H8ful Eight yet?
I love how you dress like him in the thumbnail 🤣
I'm sure everyone knows he really cut his hand, at this point
Great reaction.
Don Johnson played a great part....the hood scene was epic....
Heard somewhere it's rumoured that Tarantino's 10th and last film will be a crossover of Django and Deadpool.
35:12 As an Aussie I gotta say, the accents here were pretty decent.
No, from what I can tell we Australians have never had to use the n word for the Indigenous people of this country, we've got plenty of insults of our own for them. We've started trying to make up for it by recognising the traditional owners of the land (actually saying the name of the tribe or people who lived on the land) before each big even that we're standing on, which is only baby steps but is still a biggish deal considering that for years Australia before the settlers came to it was referred to as 'Terra Nulius', meaning that the land was legally seen as uninhabited as if the millions of people living there didn't exist.
14:30 hey, nice find, actually!
Just what to watch when I can't sleep.
8:48 bro he looks like a clown lol
I think it's safe to say that slavers,. like the Nazis in Indiana Jones, are a perfect choice for villains - they're despicable from the get go and the hero can deal some righteous violence to them and not feel bad about it one bit. :)
I dunno, man. Lou Gossett junior looks pretty damn good on a horse in El Diablo.
Jamie was dope in Law Abiding Citizen. So glad Will Smith turned it down.... Jamie did that shit
Best commentary
I’ve seen this movie maybe 10 times and it occurred to me that a lot of pain could have been avoided if they had just gone into candy land with premise of buying a German speaking slave. Obviously there aren’t many of them around, and it would make sense for a German doctor to want someone that speaks German around. Then again the movie would be less interesting 😄
Did you know that the role of Django was offered to Will Smith but he acted like a stuck up broad ,he felt like a humiliation for him.
12,000 should be around 350,000 today give or take.
I always loved how you could tell if a few words were different during the dinner conversation that everything would've gone different. I don't even think in universe Calvin was the worse, big daddy had the k que k in his pocket after all. Until Calvin gets into Eugenics (can I say that on UA-cam?) He seems more offended that they were lieing, and that's one thing I always gets from Leo's acting is that he's more offended then angry/resentful. He's big time cash money type, he owns the "3rd biggest manufacturing plant" so you come and lie about buying $30k in something so you can get free shipping on a single item (terrible analogy but how would I do a good one here honestly)
You have no idea how thrilled I was seeing the opening to this review, between watching youtubes like this and showing friends the "bye Ms Laura" has been part of my daily vocabulary for over 10 years. Cheers 🍻
Slavery! disgusting I am a white french canadian and there is not such hatred! i have in my heart for black people, we are all one the same! hope that made sense.
Highly recommend you watch Django from 1966….Franco Nero has a cameo in this but it’s a great movie in its own right
Yeah, I can't think of any other character, ever, that looked meaner than Sam, in that role. And I'm a movie buff. Just dark af.
they originally wanted will smith to be the lead actor but im glad jamie fox ended up with it
Watch out for the Stephen's of the world that don't want good and happiness spread out with love
Hear me out, I feel like if Schultz had of just gone in on his own and said "woah, you have a slave that speaks German? Can I buy her?" Candie would have just sold her to him. May have had to pay a bit, but it would be so much simpler.
In saying that, I LOVE this movie!! 😀
great film
Awesome movie
26:45 Good, I think that's what he was aiming for. Deliberately playing "the most despicable ne*** character in movie history"
You should check out the original Django with Franco Nero. Not really a comedy like this but it's a pretty cool spaghetti western.
Leo is so comited that hurts his self in the hand in the scene of business Bromilda!
Must see The 8 Haters with Samuel L Jackson!
Killer!!!..💪🏻
Tarantino got so much crap for how frequent the N word was used in this movie. His response every time was basically "It was 1858 Mississippi, the hell did you expect?"
What people don't realize is, not only was this pre civil war, not only was this part of the "deep south", but Mississippi had the HIGHEST disparity of population in the entire Confederacy. It was about 90% blacks and only 10% whites. Now, slavery is already ruthless and brutal, but to accomplish that kind of control over a population that is so much larger than yours....whites had to be especially brutal and ruthless in Mississippi.
edit: Just had to add, my point was there are far worse things about slavery to be angry about.
Slaves throughout the centuries in all parts of the world have existed in large numbers in opposition to the masters. So no you don't have to be "extra brutal" to rule a larger majority. You just made that up.
