24:16 "The D is silent"; "I know" That scene flies over people's heads, because they don't know that, that actor is Frank Nero, he is the original Django from the spaghetti westerns of the 60's and 70's.
@@jmsmys13ify Do you really think it's a German trait to know how to pour a beer? What to you think we Austrians have made for Hundreds of Years??? Drinking Water and Horsepiss like you Americans with your Beer Ersatz Budweiser & Miller. Get a real Budweiser Budvar from the City of Budweis (Czech: Budějovice) in the Czech Republic. And maybe the Germans have there purity law. But we have full 2-3 Pages of Laws describing what's a Beer and what's Horsepiss.
Leo with the bloody hand was both real and fake. Yes, when he broke the glass, Leo did cut his hand and for a time continued to perform. However, they patched him up between takes and instead of dismissing the real event, Tarantino decided to continue with Leo having a bloody hand and used fake blood; it would have been a truly dick move if Leo smeared his own blood all over Kerry Washington's face.
I might be wrong..but I've heard it on several things that he wiped his real blood on her..which I hope he didn't cuz that would be gross and disrespectful.
@@totesmegoatscrystal9688 People heard it was a real cut, and assumed it was real blood he smeared on her. It wasn't. After they finished the scene, Leo got stiches in his hand, and while that was happening, he asked Tarantino if he could smear fake blood on Washington, and Tarantino agreed. They had a bunch of fake blood around because they used squibs instead of CGI for the gunshot effects.
*"I cant see f@cking sh!t outta this thing!!!"* - Big Daddy was a scumbag, but I swear he had me cracking up multiple times in 5 minutes or so he was onscreen. 😂😂
Christoph Waltz is just an amazing actor, he was fantastic in this movie along with the rest of the cast, and Samuel Jackson should've won an Oscar for his performance.
@@trfreitas1983 but waltz was not the leading actor in this, and despite Samuel and dicaprio were phenomenal but Waltz was way ahead of them…. A well deserved oscar.
The reason miss Laura went flying at such an odd angle is a nod to the old westerns. Women were not alowed to die violently on screen so the crew would tie a rope around the actresses waist and yank her out of shot often in complete disregard of physics.
The genius of the scene when Dr. Schulz was sitting uncomfortably while the harpist plays Fur Elise. Afte witnessing the terrors inside the plantation and the memories of the dogs tearing the black slave apart, he cannot stomach the idea of hearing one of Beethoven's beautiful piece being played inside the place. Which is why he lashed out the harpist to tell her to stop. Candie, noticing Dr. Schulz's outburts of contempt, decides to humiliate him further by asking for a handshake. Thereby forcing the good doctor to submit to the system of slavery which he fought diligently against by completing a deal of slave purchse.
You didn't think Inglourious could be topped. While Waltz was undeniably unreachable in Inglourious, this cast was glorious in this movie! Leo outdid himself, Waltz was insanely charming, Foxx just blew things out of the water. That Leo carried on with that dining room scene despite actually cutting his hand is just *chef's kiss*. Glad you guys enjoyed it.
Christoph Waltz is one hell of an actor. He definitely deserved both of his Oscars. I think he was the first actor to win an Academy Award for a Tarantino movie.
He did cut his hand during the scene but after the cut they did attend to his cut and they decided to include that and the character Calvin to rub his blood on Broomhilda. With fake blood of course.
The "Dentists tooth" is a secret homage to Doc Holiday. Before moving to the west and settling in Arizona, Doc Holiday (got his name) was a dentist in Georgia, near Savannah. He later became one of the fastest gambling gunfighters of the west.
24:15 still gives me chills. The whole "I know.." That man asking his name is Franco Nero, the original Django. He has dozens of movies under his belt, and many westerns. Both of them standing right there and talking is my favorite moment in the movie.
Good news, though - all of the horses in the film are fall horses. They've been trained to safely fall on command; you can actually see they throw themselves down a little _before_ they get "knocked over", because they're never actually falling.
Django Unchained is a fucking fantastic film from top to bottom. It's legitimately one of few films I've ever seen where the more I've seen it, the more I enjoy it as opposed to the other way around. I legit have nothing I can complain about. Pacing is great, characters are authentic, script is awesome, casting is stellar, practical effects are terrific, soundtrack is perfect, cinematography is excellent...I have no grievances whatsoever. Wifey and I actually saw it in theaters when it came out Christmas Day in 2012. It deserved every award it was given. Fun fact: Quentin Tarantino almost DIDN'T make this film. While he loved the concept of a spaghetti western, the subject matter involved made him very uncomfortable and he wasn't sure how to approach writing the script in a way that wouldn't be unintentionally offensive. It took counsel from Jamie Foxx, Samuel L Jackson, and a few black directors that are friends of his to convince him to commit to it 100%. They told him that in order to tell this story in the way it needs to be told, he couldn't sugarcoat it and had to commit 100% to the history behind it. I'm glad he had the courage to see it through, because in doing so, he created one of -- if not his absolute -- best films.
💯 as a decensdant of slaves, I realize more folks truly don't comprehend the horror. And the generational trauma that continues. Tarantino made an excellent film.
@@Royaltypeppers yeah the plot is not 100 historically accurate. The violence is closer to truth than other movies, and I imagine a larger audience will see that in a Tarantino flick versus 12 yrs a slave or movies like that.
I knew as soon as I saw this... Nikki would be tense. I found this movie to be hard to watch but also a reminder of the harshness of people. Tarantino again hits our souls.
it makes the revenge plot all the more satisfying knowing that these exact types of horrors were really happening to enslaved people in the USA just 200 years ago. As you say it’s a real struggle to watch this kind of horrific treatment of people knowing it’s based in reality, but important for us to bear witness to and remember. And satisfying to see such a revenge plot. The fantasy of a person escaping the worst kind of slave owners and rescuing his family in such a cinematic larger than life way is like the ultimate stage for Tarantino’s style of filmmaking, and yeah for me this is his best film by far
@@grayscales1864indeed, people seem to forget about the actual atrocities of slavery, terrible and inhumane practices more than just whipping .I Wish people would remember them as much as the holocaust
Yes Leo famously really cut his hand by accident in the dinner table scene, but before he wiped his hand all over Kerry Washington's face, the scene was cut and his hand was cleaned up so that he wiped fake blood on her face. No studio would allow anyone to wipe real human blood in someone else's face in this day and age.
Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) was married to Paula Schultz, who unfortunately passed away. Even worse, many years later she would be dug up by Budd AKA "Sidewinder", a member of the Deadly Viper Assassin Squad, who used the grave to bury alive one Beatrix Kiddo AKA Black Mamba.
Besides playing the Australian guy, Tarantino also plays the dude with the bag on his head that suggests not using the bags and leaving them for next time. The Italian guy who asks Django to spell his name is Franco Nero, who played Django in the 1966 movie. "Yes... I know" 😂. And the blonde girl who never shows her face is Zoë Bell, an incredible stunt double/actress who was supposed to be one of the final bosses in this movie. It would've been revealed that her face was all screwed up or burnt or something like that. They had to cut that out because it would've been too long. Great reaction and I can't wait for you guys to get to The Hateful 8!
My wife's father was captured by nazis during WW2 and was sentenced to 30 days in a hot box. Didn't kill him but he lost a dangerous amount of weight. And yes; he really did cut his hand and finished the scene.
@@SptmbrsVryOwn Other than the typo with "on" instead of "in" the sentence makes complete sense to me. "Don't forget, the grave Uma was buried in alive was Paula Shultz'; showing once again all his movies are connected." Easy. Maybe be nicer next time?
@@vashsunglasses Plus, their vitriolic tirade lacks a period at the end of the sentence following the one that would better read, “Punctuation and grammar count.”
@@SptmbrsVryOwnI did the same thing. I tried to read it numerous times before I saw the fixed comment with punctuation lol. It’s the English lover in me.
My horse-loving daughter (3) walked in right as Schultz blasted that horse, did an about-face that would put any military man to shame and marched silently right back to her room. Her brother and I were dying laughing for 5 minutes 😂😂😂
I just realized Kerry Washington’s played Jamie Foxx’s wife in 2 movies(this and Ray), and has been terrorized by Sam Jackson in 2 movies (this and Lakewood Terrace)
The lady with her face covered with the red scarf is Zoe Bell, she did ALL Uma Thurman's stunts for the Kill Bill movies. Yes, that was her in the House of Blue Leaves fighting the Crazy 88. She's awesome.
Fun Fact - the European man who asks Django about his name is Franco Nero. He played the Django character in the original 1966 movie. You most likely would recognize him as the Hotel Manager of the Rome Continental in John Wick 2.
I love how all the over the top violence suspends all laws of motion and mass with bullets, making people fly 100 ft. Just love how ott his films are. This and Holywood are my favourites.
It's been a long time since I've watched a reaction, particularly from you guys. I was one of your original Patrons. I still have the note that Nicky wrote thanking me for the support! I'm happy to see you two still rocking on!
More Americans need to watch this movie. There needs to be no ambiguity about how evil and disgusting slavery was. People think slavery was just simply owning people. Which is already terrible and disgusting enough. To own a human being? They don’t really understand the physical and psychological trauma of slavery up on the slave him or herself. You could be treated less than a dog or a cow or a horse. You were seen as barely human. A sub human, It was dehumanizing. and there really wasn’t much you could do about it, except escape to the North. Many tried and failed. And as you can see what the punishment was if you were caught. This is American slavery.
32:12 There are laughs, there is shock, there are cheers, and there are tears. This movie is a brilliant rollercoaster. 34:23 I swear, when Sam and Quentin were discussing this role, the name "Salacious Crumb" must have been mentioned. 🤣🤣🤣 53:53 Tarantino gave himself a glorious death in this one. 😂
As a soon to be 65 year old black man (9/11/59) who is a huge fan of your channel, I am really glad that I had this opportunity to enjoy this film with you. I was glad to see that the brutality depicted in this film touched you both in the ways that I had anticipated. From my first "interaction" with you guys, the vibe has always been very positive. Our tastes in films and their production run close, so I'm always happy that I watched with you. Peace and love to you and yours, always. ❤😊
-23:25 This is where the term "Mandingo" comes from. "Mandingo fighting", or "Mandingos", were slaves used for fighting.... -24:19 This actor played the ORIGINAL character of Django, which is why he knows the D is silent....
The thing about Tarantino movies they will have a great soundtrack and a lot of blood and violence. The entire skit of the can't see through the mask 😂 it hilarious
Leo did cut his hand and the blood was real at the start but when he wiped it on Kerry's face it has been stiched up and they used fake blood to get the effect
@@clevelandcbiyea I was like around 10. One of my favorite scenes was when they first show up to the club and the man outside is advertising the many types of p#$@% they offered lmao Btw, I did love the part you're talking about!! I had a huge crush on George and Quinton when I was younger and Selma is sooo beautiful!!
@@amandamosteller1371I saw it in the theater on a special Halloween showing a couple years after it came out. I was making out with my high school girlfriend when that part came up. We both got laughing and had to give up. On the plus side, that was the movie really got rolling. 😂
Quentin Tarantino does do cameos in all his movies, and that is due because he is an old movie buff. He loves the older movies, Alfred Hitchcock did this very same thing and all his movies, cameo walk-thrus. And sad to say in slavery days, some of the slaves and have kind slave masters, and these things actually happened. It’s a sad thing in our history, just an FYI and I love you too. Keep up the good work take care and be safe.🫶🏻❤️🤠
You’re an elite actor if you could have people hating you and terrified of you in one movie and absolutely loving you and crying for you in another movie
@hk45c62 Tarantino loves to cast actors from old TV shows from his youth. Sheriff Bill Sharp was Don Stroud, who was in hundreds of movies and TV shows in the 70s and 80s. Sheriff Gus was Lee Horsley from the TV show Matt Houston. Michael Parks, from Then Came Bronson, who played the sheriff in Kill Bill, was one of the LeQuint Dickey trio.
So many people in the world have no idea that the man who wrote The Three Musketeers; who gave us Athos, Porthos, and Aramis and of course D'artagnan was indeed Black. How many movies have been made? And I will include the Disney version with the 3 Caballeros. That story has been a part of our culture. So yeah. Candie naming one of his slaves after a character was ridiculous. Also, the moment when he says "Soft hearted Frenchie" proves that his entire facade was BS. He made everyone call him Monsieur. And still thinks the French are soft. At that point you can understand why he was the villain. More so than Don Johnson or the people of Daughtrey. Because he was treating the slaves like that, all the while lying about who he was. The whole thing was a show. My question will always be...what happened to that $12,000? Back in the 1800's that's enough money to buy land. A lot of it.
This is one of the best depictions off slavery in a movie. However instead of portraying slaves as victims in this movie we actually get to be our own hero. This movie will be shown to my kids EVERY black history month. Likely Quintens best film yet.
Yeah, I like that they had Schultz mess up things for everyone because of his pride. It puts the "white savior" trope on its head with Django having to look out for himself at that point.
I agree. Even in movies about slavery it’s never really from the point of view and perspective of the actual slaves. More like an objective telling of the story but somehow we don’t even get to be the real main characters even in those..
Leo accidentally broke the glass and was picking pieces of glass out of his hand while he continued acting. It was so well performed Tarantino kept it in the movie. When he wiped the blood on Kerry Washington's face, that was fake blood at that point. When Miss Laura went flying, it was a tribute to how women used to die off screen. Old westerns wouldn't show a woman's death on screen. Seeing 'Django Unchained' persuaded me to research some history and I found out a lot of 19th century American facts. Some interesting, but mostly sad. - 19th century Germans in America were strongly against slavery and started many anti-slave movements across the country. - There were 4 races poorly treated. (1) Native Americans (2) Africans (3) Chinese (4) Irish. They had an average dollar value assigned to them. On average: - Africans were valued at $10 each. Average lifespan was 38 years for the men due to harsh working conditions. - Chinese were valued at $8 each. I didn't find their average lifespan, but the men were given more harsh work because of their 'lower values'. - Irish were valued at $4 each. Average lifespan was 19 years for the men due to extreme harsh working conditions. They were given the most life threatening harsh work due to their considered 'lowest value'. * Some of this history information came from Thomas Sowell. A brilliant man and a national treasure. IMO Everybody should make themselves familiar with his teachings.
What I like about Leos performance is what Samuel said to him while the shooting happend: Leo being a Person of culture had a Problem with the N-Word so Samuel said to him: 'Forget that shit man up we all know this is a movie.' And Leo stood up and became the most despicable Asshole of a long Time. Except for Fred Shit who mutilated my dear Countryman Christoph in the end scene of the Basterds... 👿👿👿
Black Power meets Italowestern: incredibly good. 🤩 Facts: >> Tarantino wanted to make a movie “about America's terrible past, but like a spaghetti western, not an ‘important’ problem movie”. He succeeded with his typical mix of coolness, theatricality and grim humor. He bows to Italian directors such as Sergio Leone (“For a Fistful of Dollars”) and Sergio Corbucci (“Django”) - and gives new impetus to the traditionally taciturn genre with his characteristically sprawling dialog. It won the Oscar for screenplay and Christoph Waltz was also awarded his second supporting role Oscar.
it was very refreshing to see yalls reaction. The reality of those times are the darkest in our country's history, but to forget them or ignore them would be a disservice to those who had to endure it. It really is a fantastic movie that sheds light on the atrocities that should never happen again.
Christophe Waltz is weirdly the moral compass all film. Polite and well mannered and just does his job. Treats people well.... until that's no longer an option 😂
Everyone's acting was so good, but that sober scene with Leo was so intense it just blew me away. Sam cracked me up. I adored Christoph Waltz & of course Jamie was exceptional in this role, especially in the end where he's killing everyone lol.
Christoph Walz is an amazing actor. Before Tarentino hired him to play Landa in Inglorious Basterds, he was only know in German speaking countries. Best actor I have ever seen in years ❤. P.s. He’s Blofeld in the last James Bond movies too ❤
Another thing about Leo's acting in this movie. Jamie Foxx told a story in an interview about how him and Samuel Jackson had to really work with Leo with doing the part because Leo had a really hard time with having to say the N word. They said the character as a whole messed with Leo a lot during shooting.
If you haven't seen True Romance, I highly recommend adding it to this list. It was written by Tarantino and was actually the script that he sold in order to fund his debut film Reservoir Dogs. It may have been directed by someone else but it is very much a Tarantino movie, and it's amazing!
Leo actually cut his hand, but since they were going to use that take they added the scene with him spreading his blood on Broomhilde's face. He didn't just decide to wipe an open cut on a fellow actor's face, he's not actually Calvin Candie.
The Count of Monte Cristo is my favorite novel of all time. Has been since my teenage years. It wasn't until I saw this movie that I found out the author was Black/French.
I’m not a reader, but I love the movie version they did not long ago. I understand it added some stuff that wasn’t in the original book, but I love it.
@@TedwardsTube It's a long book, but man it's worth it. The movie is basically a skeleton version of the book. Amazing in its own right, but so much is left out that it's almost a different story altogether. If you hate reading that much, the audiobook is done really well.
my dad (a black man) was born and raised in macon, Ga in the early 50's. He LOVED this movie especially when Jamie showed up in that blue outfit on that horse. One of our last conversations we were talking about this movie... i can hear him cackling now about it. He also enjoyed other parts of this movie a lot but we'll keep it at that lmao.
Such a treat to both watch you react to Django Unchained. Over the years I've easily watched this well over 100 times. An absolute masterpiece from Quentin Tarantino and I've been a fan of his from the early 90s having loved Reservoir Dogs and kept watching his films ever since. Great video both.
@12:38 every time I see the scene I actually get almost like déjà vu and I feel like I’m actually there with my ancestors. And I am just filled with rage every time I see it. This scene hurts so much to me and I can’t even explain it. At the same time this is like one of my favorite movies ever. Shout out to the brother Eric Bishop. For you that don’t know that’s Jamie Foxx’s real name
