I thought this movie was pretty awesome. The two or three Rick Ross type rap songs were pretty out of place I thought

Meh, I didn't think they really added a ton to the movie, but it certainly didn't distract me or seem out of place to me.

I agree. You can tell that QT was pushed to have them in the movie
Posted on 12/26/12 at 9:07 am to Carson123987
so what did the OP think of Foxx? or anyone else think of him?
was he cast well? or was it the kind of role most leading men/hero types could've pulled off.
i haven't seen it yet just enjoying reading the critiques. i'm a QT fan.

Personally I thought he was great. He was overshadowed a little by Waltz, Dicaprio, and Jackson, but still very good.

and i guessed it would be hard not to with leo. and QT is two for two with waltz and always feeds SLJ good stuff.

The other 3 just had better characters.. Foxx was great tho.
I wanted to bang Hildee and the other priveledged slave girl that stayed in the big house.

Dicaprio absolutely killed it. He was an amazing villain and had all of the intangibles you want in a great villain. I found myself sad when he died, which shows how great he was.
Totally agree. I only hope that he and QT enjoyed working together and we see them team up again in the future.

This, with Waltz, SLJ and Travolta

I loved it. It was perfect mix of all elements that a movie could offer.
All of the main characters did great. Leo was my favorite. If QT would have cast a different villain without the charisma of Leo, it might have been too hard to watch. (Especially the wrestling scene..ouch).

I couldn't disagree more with the OP about whether it felt like a Tarantino film. It was extremely Tarantino. If his movies, have one consistent motif, it is that of the history of movies and pop culture overwhelms that of our real world. That's the hyper-real world all his films inhabit.
And in the "film world", mandingo fighting exists, so that's the reality he has built upon. Though I disagree with you about the KKK scene. They bent over backwards to say this was their first time doing this, so there was no Klan. This was the proto-Klan that would later exist in Reconstruction.
I found the dinner scene to be incredibly tense, and pretty much the classic QT scene. But Stephen's monologue about getting sent to be a slave in the mine was brilliant. It was an argument that slavery was a fate worse than death, and an indictment of America's original sin.
And I think it's great that Tarantino made an explicit argument that slave owners are the movie equivalent of Nazis: stock villains. Which is about as bad as you get in the movie reality.

Agree with you 100%

In Tarantino's cinematic world of clever dialogue, colorful supporting characters, and wonderful writing, Django's dialogue was dry, there were only 3-4 great characters, and there was a notable lack of memorable scenes like The Jimmy Situation, the Bar scene from IB, the Mexican standoff from Reservoir Dogs, etc.
This. He failed while trying to write the witty dialogue he usually does....all he did was have the German bounty hunter use big words. That being said it was worth watching and it had some great violence. I do wish the first 2/3rds of the movie had more violence but whatever.

I heard him on Howard and he said Jaime Foxx came up with the idea.

Greenville, MS is in Washington County, not Chickasaw County. I'm sure QT just liked the way Chickasaw rolled off the tongue more though.

I disagree about the rap. The 2Pac during the shoot out and the RR during the riding scene fit perfectly.

I thought the same thing

The German was really the only educated person in the movie but reality is flexible in this movie so i guess django could sound like an English gentleman

This is kind of how I felt.
I guess, given the subject of the film and the projected audience, Tarantino had to simplify the dialogue to some degree and make the humor more apparent
