*DJANGO* is a bloody western?! MOVIE REACTION FIRST TIME WATCHING! 

Fun fact: The gentleman with the white hat, who asks Django his name, and Django spells it out, stating the D is silent. That gentleman is Franco Nero, the original Django from the 1966 film!

As a German, I'm glad that Christoph Waltz didn't have to play the typically evil German! He was great in this movie!

I love Christoph Waltz! He is such an amazing actor and he definitely deserved the Oscar for this performance! 🥰

As bad as Candy was, I gotta go with Stephen as "the worst". I realize that it's not his own fault. He's lived as a slave for his lots of decades, and has accepted his role, and has grown to love his master more than his own people (Malcolm X made a famous speech about this, his "House Negros" speech), but still... Samuel L Jackson, in an interview, was asked about being cast for Stephen, and he said Tarantino sent him the script, then called him to see what he thought about it, and Jackson said, "So, you want me to play the worst negro in the history of films?" Tarantino said, "Uh, yeah." Jackson said, "OK". lol

Schultz had never seen the brutal aspect of slavery before. The memory of that poor fellow being torn away by the dogs shook him up badly. It was eating him alive.

Funfact: Christoph Waltz starred in only two Tarantino movies but won an Oscar for both of them.

"He gonna stay in the big house?!" Sam Jackson is incredible as Steven. I love the way he drops his facade at the end, but keeps his hatred for Django.

Please watch "Inglourious Basterds"!

The horse Jamie Foxx rode in the movie is actually his horse in real life. Keep up the Tarantino.

I love the chemistry between Christoph Waltz and Jamie Fox. Leonardo and Samuel L Jackson are great as the villains.

41:00 As for the happy ending, I remember reading that Broomhildas last name Von Shaft was a reference to the detective character Shaft. Implying that he was a direct descendant of Hildi and Django. Tarantinos way of writing a "happily ever after" ending.

I can’t decide if I hate Calvin Candie or Stephen worse in this movie. They are both so well acted.

This is a really great reaction Jen. Most reactions skip by the Broom Hilda story which is the true catalyst for the entire movie. The bond between our two heroes, and more importantly why they are BOTH willing to lay down their lives to see it through. We all know why Django is in this all the way, but the Broom Hilda story let's us see why Dr. King Schultz puts all of his chips in to help. He finally has a worthy German cause worth risking his life for that is much more important than a bounty. Great job!

"This is close as your going to get to a road trip in the 1800's", priceless! Thanks Jen, great react!

You're probably my favorite RU-vid reactor because there's a genuine wonder, joy and appreciation of the craft that's consistent in all your reviews. You're quick to catch a lot of subtext in scenes, provide some insightful humorous comments and I sense you possess an investment in the experience. Reminds me of the good ol' days experiencing watching a great or good film for the very first time. Also, the genuine humanity in your reaction during some of the quite heavy films like Shawshank Redemption, Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List was very appealing. 👏

Yes, the song is from a 60's spaghetti western movie called Django starring Franco Nero (who cameos here as the italian knowing the D is silent in the name). There where other Django-movies with different actors and two official sequels that had Nero back in the role.

it was nice to see the original django .a gesture of respect for the actor by Tarantino.

So, the theme song was originally recorded for the 1966 Spaghetti Western, Django. The title for the Tarantino movie is somewhat of a joke; when the first Django came out, it was a huge hit overseas. So much so, that a bunch of unofficial "sequels" were made (thanks in part to very lax laws in Italy regarding sequels), but with no connection to the first, other than a character named Django (if even that). Django was such a big hit in Germany, that any western released with Franco Nero, the original's star (who also shows up in this as the man that ask Django Freeman to spell his name), was retroactively titled as a Django film. Hence, another Django movie having nothing to do with the first, other than a main character with that name. bonus trivia: the name "Django" comes from jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. He's well known for his unique play-style that he developed after losing the use of two of his fingers on his left hand in an accident. It's a bit tongue-in-cheek, as the Django from the film also has his hands badly injured, while still needing to sling a gun. Okay, I think if I type "Django" one more time, my keyboard will implode.

The doctor couldn't turn and shoot the other guy because the little gun he was using is a one shot only gun and I'm pretty sure he didn't go in there armed with anything else.

You can never go wrong with Tarantino. I'm really surprised more of the reaction channels haven't done Reservoir Dogs yet. That was another awesome flick by him.

Did you notice that at the end Django is actually wearing Calvin Candy’s outfit. Says “never knew burgundy was my color”

“Will you tell Ms. Laura goodbye?” “Bye, Ms. Laura."

Jen, before you reacted to this movie you had my curiosity. Now, you have my attention. ;-) 34:13 - Also, what actor doesn't wish he could literally BLOW UP the director of his own movie? It's like when your boss volunteers to sit in the dunk tank at the company picnic. LOL

The scene were Candy hits down with his hammer on his hand, that was real. Leo kept his cool and ran with it. What a legend and great performance. Love this movie and in a Tarantino fashion it has a crazy finale.

Somebody asked Tarantino how he was going to die in this movie, and he said: I’m going to blowup in pieces . 😆

I liked it Tarantino used music from other westerns such as two mules for sister Sarah. He also used the original Red Dead revolver theme music from the game

holy moly! 2012. 10 years, went so fast!!

I love Django Unchained. Its my favourite Tarantino film that gets better the more I watch it

He scales the mountain, because he's not afraid of it. He slays the dragon, because he's not afraid of him. And he walks through hellfire... because Broomhilda's worth it.

Worth noting that the closing theme song is taken from the Italian 1970 blockbuster, spaghetti-western "Lo Chiamavano Trinità" ("They Call Me Trinity"). A beloved cult movie here in Italy.

$75 in 1858 was about $2,673.44 nowadays calculating for inflation. $12,000 (what they offer Calvin for Broomhilda) is worth around $400,000 USD today

Dr. Schulz only had a 1 shot Derringer(?) so he couldn't kill anyone else. They both were disarmed. He followed his feelings when he killed Candy not thinking about his own death.

the hidden gun in the sleeve was a single shot weapon

Yeah as a black man is was a lot of humor, crazy the way things use to be. Good moving. All the main actors were great. Love your reactions. ❤️

The 'tiny gun' is called a Deringer. It's the same kind of gun that was used to assassinate Lincoln.

"Would a head really explode like that?" No, it's not a bag of blood

The scene where Leo cuts his hand on the glass during the dinner confrontation is real Leo actually cut his hand during filming and rather than stop the take, Leo worked the injury into the scene

Would have loved Jamie to have done the Bass Reeves story. Real US Marshal for 35 years. Bass was, I believe, the basis for Lone Ranger and for the character Clint Eastwood portrays in Hang em High. One case even had to track and arrest his own son. I still have a problem watching QT movies. He's the Sam Peckinpah of this generation. I don't mind Jamie being a serious actor. Loved him in Collateral and biopic as Ray Charles. Glad you got your "happy" ending. Hope to see you again soon.

I love your genuine and organic reactions Jen. Also, your camera and setup format is so much better than most re-actors on RU-vid. Kudos and thanks for another great video! : )

I was a engrossed watching your reaction as you were trying to figure out how the movie was going end. I'm not the biggest Tarantino fan, but no one writes like he does.

Amazing reaction jen. This is one of my favorite Tarantino movies ever, the cast is phenomenal.😊

It’s always a pleasure watching your reactions Jen. You get so immersed in the movies and your commentary is so genuine. I really like your Jencars awards at the end with your character analysis.

The first actor ever to play the series character Django was Franco Nero this was back in 1966. He played the role again in 1987's Django Strikes Again. And you can glimpse him in a cameo in this film (though not as the title character because Tarantino decided to switch Django's race in order to be all woke and relevant and stuff). ALL of these films (and several Clint Eastwood westerns) find their source in YOJIMBO (1961) a samurai classic from Japan. You might also enjoy Django---Prepare a Coffin (1968) starring Terence Hill as Django. NONE of these should be confused with Django Reinhardt (1910-1953) the Jazz Guitarist and composer The name Django is, like Reinhardt himself , of Romany (Gypsy) origin.

Yes KKK scene is funny. So you don't have to feel bad about it, Tarantino has a way of making the grotesque seem comical. So I have to say, even the KKK got regular shit to deal with on the way to massacre as many blacks as possible or any blacks that give them sass.

This is a remake / reboot of a series of spaghetti westerns staring Franco Nero, who appears in this movie in a small cameo role.

The hidden pistol the bounty hunter used is called a derringer, they're meant for concealment and usually hold two bullets and are much more used for close range. P.S., i really love your french manicure!! :3

The little gun he pops out of his sleeve is a Derringer, a small mini pistol that was used as an efficient concealed carry

woo this should be a fun time, while I haven't seen this personally I think I know how it goes, can't wait for the reaction!!

Your room looks real cozy

Jen, if you remember me by any chance, I was waiting for you to do this reaction since day one! so glad you enjoyed it this much. Best movie reactor on youtube!

This is what you call a, high quality reaction. First time watching your channel, awesome.

Leo did great actually injured himself but kept going bandaged himself great improv at the table

A great reaction, Jen, thank you. You should check out, 'Inglorious Bastards' by this Director, if you haven't seen it of course, everyone knows his better known films such as, 'Pulp Fiction', 'Jackie Brown' etc. By the way the small gun that Doc used was a Derringer.

From 1858 $ to 2022 $: $75 = $2,700 $200 = $7,200 $5,000 = $180,000

jen walking in the moonlight meant they were going to hang a slave from a tree at night

"Sand" meant django had courage... In those days slave masters wanted the weak minded slave not a slave with courage

I remember seeing this in the theater and this couple brought little 8 year old kids. They stayed for the whole movie...

Da Jango. Lol. “The d is silent hillbilly *bang*” love that part. Lol b

True romance and reservoir dogs are essential Tarrantino. Love your content don't stop

Another nice reaction, Djen. 😎

41:09 - As for why Schultz didn't "whip around and shoot" the other guy, I think two things. One, was that Shultz only had his small pistol on him, which only has one or two bullets (I think two, because the pistol has two barrels, one on top of the other), so he may have shot the second guy, but he'd be out of bullets after that. But also, Schultz has been a lawman, executing legal bounties. But after shooting Candy, he's just committed a murder, so he now faces the prospect of being on the run for the rest of his days, wanted for murder, and maybe didn't want to go through all that, so...

Pulling both barrels on a side-by-side shotgun, most likely loaded with buckshot, 20 lead pellets per oz. The head would indeed turn into nothing short of a smear of smattered brains, bone fragments, and blood, from a point-blank shot like that.

😂😂😂 The "D" is silent! The Hateful Eight was really cool! 🤔 No pun intended.

Civil War (1861-65) abolished slavery in my country, Argentina, was abolished in 1813

Wow, really good first time watch reaction video, Jen. I definitely could tell you had a tough time watching some of the film, but still glad you liked it. :)

Jen, you should add the original "Django" from 1966 and "The Great Silence" to your to watch list. There are to less reaction videos to them, out there. Spaghetti-Westerns dealt much harder and without compromise on topics like racism and gun violence than american movies, because they could in a much less docmatic society. The soundtracks, camera, cutting and story telling were so inovative that they became timeless. There are no real good characters in them, they are all just shades of evil and charismatic. "The Good" from "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" kills the most people, he just shows a little more empathy then the others. Jamies trainig in the snow is such a subtle reference to "The Great Silence", remaking scenes of it, even with his winter costume. And Tarantino's "The Hatefull Eight" is whole tribute to the "The Great Silence" too.

Didn't calculate from the year exactly, but: What cost $200 in 1800 would cost $3296.18 in 2021.

Love your reactions so far... editing on point. Thank you.

My 3rd favorite Tarantino film behind Kill Bill 1&2 ( I count them as 1 ) and True Romance ( he wrote it but Tony Scott directed it ). I didn't see this until 6 or 7 years ago for some reason.

Some of "road trip in the 1800s" scenes are call backs to the most famous Westernd ever, a road trip movie called "The Searchers" with John Wayne. I recommend it.

Its technically not a western since it takes place before the wild west era. (About 7 or so years. Its generally acknowledged that the wild west started around 1865 and ending around 1890 or 1912. But it is generally disputed but main thing is that there are slaves which outlawed after the civil war during the 1860s and most of the famous wild west era was the 1870s and 1880s

Glad you enjoyed this one, so many entertaining characters and tremendous action make this my favorite Tarantino flick. I think Christoph Waltz's performance as Dr Schultz might be the best in any Tarantino movie (or at least tied with Brad Pitt in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which is also tremendous and worth checking out).

DuMont also wrote The Man with the Iron Mask

A great reaction, the acting in this movie like most Tarantino movies was awesome. The sad part is the horrific history of slavery.

17:06, double Django. Didn't ever notice it.

Late to the party but little nugget of info. The man who was watching the black men fighting with Candy and had Django explain the name to him is the original actor who played Django in the old movie. It's why he knows how Django is pronounced.

Dr. Scholtz only had 1 bullet in that gun. It doesn't hold ammo, it only has 1 in the chamber ready to fire at all times.

Tarantino has said that this isn’t a Western, but a Southern, since it takes place in the south.

Ha! The "Tooth Wagon"

Nominated for 5 Oscars including Best Picture but won for Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor for Christoph Waltz. It lost Best Picture to the spy thriller ARGO.

Leonardo's Hand was Cut for real when he smashed the glass on the table yet he continued acting...

30:38 mins, because the doctor's pistol can only hold 1 bullet in the chamber.

Remember, as long as the horse can see, it is a raid.

Liberty or death! Please do Inglorious Basterds,you will love it. This is a great one, absolutely!

Hi Jen the collars around their necks make it so they can’t lay down properly or get too close to one another. It also lets perspective “buyers” know they are difficult.

The D is not silent it reinforces the sound of an English sounding j rather than what would be a French J as in “Zhango”

Reality was even more brutal than the brutality depicted in this film

$200 in 1858 would be $6,026 today

Awesome movie and i like your review and watch style. The part of the film that perplexed me for years was the ending with christoph waltz.. so you noticed it's almost this part of the film where he gives up and says sorry and he's tired and he's not going to live in a world with such inhumanity anymore. So at first i thought his ending could have come many different ways but my theory is Quentin Taratino combined him into the real life historical figure John Brown, who's one of my favorite people in history. The biography of John Brown is about this white preacher abolitionist. If he had been any other abolitionist he'd have went down in history as one that accomplished alot. Set free many slaves was gifted rich land by other wealthy abolitionist in Canada and took many slaves there. The problem though is John Brown and his family still would not accept or remain complicit in such a dark era of human history. He left what had become almost a paradise for freed slaves and went back to america on what i could only consider a suicide mission ... The biography is very interesting i highly recommend reading it. What i noticed was that Christoph Waltz's character seemingly models John Brown to the tee. So it was only after reading the biography because i actually saw this movie before i read it. So i was kinda confused i got the inhumanity of slavery and but the movie if it had one flaw i'd say it didn't explain his journey to that point very well. it just kinda flashed the dogs tearing the slave apart...However it makes a great deal of sense that heroic people of that time just weren't going to accept slavery any longer so in that context the scene made perfect sense to me and just well done.

Movies just don't get much better that Tarantino's work, and this is a particularly good one.

Oh, Jen!! You’re so innocent! It doesn’t matter how violent or awful the scenes in this movie are. The real deal was far more horrific than anything they could ever show. If they’d tried running with Hilde, they would NEVER make it to the Ohio River. The fantasy of this movie is that Django and Hilde get away. I love this movie, but it wouldn’t happen in real life. Sound travels in the south. Candyland’s neighbors would have shown up as soon as gunfire started. But I do appreciate the bloody revenge.

Great reactions to well made Tarantino film, Jen!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Sometime you should watch Tarantino's "Inglorious Basterds" (2009) also starring Christoph Waltz in a stellar performace, and winner of 8 Academy Awards.

$200 in 1858 would be valued at around $7000 USD in 2022.

Hi Jen hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

A good follow up to this QT Movie would be "The Hateful Eight"

I never understood why black people is treated the way they are,we are all just Humans and need each other...

Loved Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Bastards!!! Perfect villain!!!

Jen got her love story..... we got our action and thrills

the Nibelung's Ring, Vikings mythology

that tiny gun is a Derringer
