This is brilliant entertainment! Quentin Tarantino takes on the subject of slavery as he did the Holocaust in his previous film, "Inglourious Basterds." That one, too, employed Christoph Waltz in a leading role, using his German-accented formalities to talk his way through situations. Tarantino loves his dialogue and lets it run at an unusual length for the quasi-exploitation genre. Tarantino's film lays bare the cruelty of slavery, with violence and language that force us to confront the past rather than look away. Jamie Foxx's Django is driven by love and vengeance, embodying a man reclaiming his humanity. Christoph Waltz's Dr. Schultz brings a moral compass, showing that empathy can transcend cultural boundaries. Leonardo DiCaprio's Calvin Candie is charming yet deeply sadistic. His disregard for human life shows the moral rot at the heart of his world. And Samuel L. Jackson's Stephen is a chilling reflection of internalized oppression, complicating the power dynamics. Tarantino attacks at all levels, but he isn't glorifying the pain; he's making us reckon with it, blending harsh truth with the empowerment of a revenge narrative. "Django" has been criticized for its overuse of the N-word. A long-standing charge against Tarantino. In this case, the total comes to over 100. I understood it as a word in common daily use through the antebellum South. In context, there was a reason for it. The film has also been attacked for its incredible level of violence, but it's not what a film does but how it does it. In one sense, the violence here reflects Tarantino's desire to break through your comfort level for exploitation films and insist, yes, this was a society and culture that was inhuman. What Tarantino has is an appreciation for gut-level exploitation-film appeal, combined with an artist's desire to transform that gut element into something higher, better, more daring. His films challenge taboos in our society in the most direct possible way, and at the same time add an element of parody or satire. He is a consummate filmmaker.

when Leo stopped a scene because he had some problems using so many racial slurs, samual jackson told him "mother fucker, this is just another Tuesday for us."

I imagine a lot of people had issues with all the racial slurs 😅

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the movie!!! I'm glad that Tarantino movies tend to have a lot of violence. It just makes the movies different from the norm. If all movies needed to adhere to a maximum level of violence, it would make it pretty predictable and it would get boring I think. All his films have been fantastic to watch, and they're all so different and fun!
