Saw the movie yesterday and I must confess it's one of the best Tarantino movie I have ever seen. I do not understand what the whole controversy was about the racial nature of the movie. I mean, this was a movie about the era of slave trade and everything that was depicted in the movie really happened to slaves in those days. They were neutered at will, fed to dogs, made to wrestle bears and one another in blood sports for the entertainment of their white masters and YES! They were called NIGGERS and required to respond with a "Yessa Massa" when so called. There were also "Uncle Toms" like the character played so well by Samuel L. Jackson who sold their own out to the white slave owners. All these were themes explored in the movie. From where then comes the angst expressed by Spike Lee and several other notable black icons about this movie? 1 Like |

Django is a Quentin Tarantino movie. All his movies are always violent and weird. So not surprised of its controversy. |

Personally, Django was the best movie to come out in 2012, I'd never get the hype around SkyFall. Inappropriate? I don't think so, this was never a feel good movie, it was meant to depict a dark era in African American history and I'd have been disappointed if it was "appropriate". Slavery was never appropriate to the sane mind, why would a movie portraying the story be appropriate? Awkward? Well I saw the movie with a largely African American audience so it wasn't so much as awkward, definitely, some uncomfortable scenes. I'm guessing it'd have been different if there was a white guy next to me laughing at a "nigga" scene The mask scene was hilarious, cracked me up and helped the uneasiness from the bloody scene. Action packed movie, I like it |

Why are so guys so afraid of "race". You can't run from it nor hide it cause it existed and still does. What's wrong with the word negro? Martin lutter king always use it to describe himself and his fellow blacks. The film reminds people of the evils of the slave trade and i'm happy that grim part of history is'nt covered up. It should be there for the future to remenise on. |
Re: Django Unchained = Inappropriate And Awkward? by totalbaby(f): 4:17pm On Jan 08, 2013 |
pleep: The movie actually said the N-word 110 times lol, i get the sense that tarantino gets a kick out of putting it in his movies. It actually was a pretty unique plot and actually a very entertaining movie but i abosoultly hate the director. All he does is make his movies as violent and controversial as possible to get ppl to watch them.. all spike lee is doing is giving him more shine. |
Re: Django Unchained = Inappropriate And Awkward? by lagerwhenindoubt(m): 4:22pm On Jan 08, 2013 |
pleep: however, i don't like how black ppl make such a big deal out of the N-word... its a bad look. We have more important issues to worry about Niggu WORD!! |

I wonder why very few peeps complain when the N word i.e Niggurrr or Nigga or Niigoorh is used and the show keeps running .. but here is a one-time movie that probably won't have a remake and here we go again about the N word |
Re: Django Unchained = Inappropriate And Awkward? by totalbaby(f): 4:29pm On Jan 08, 2013 |
Black ppl can be hypocrites sometimes. They use the N word in music, movies etc like some kindaa fashion but let a white person try it then it"s a problem pleep: however, i don't like how black ppl make such a big deal out of the N-word... its a bad look. We have more important issues to worry about |
Re: Django Unchained = Inappropriate And Awkward? by pharuk: 4:30pm On Jan 08, 2013 |
No jokes, Django is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. From the sound track, script and performance. I did black African history and did loads if research in people like Malcolm X, Luther king etc. I so much appreciate this movie becaus Tarantino brought out that the true american culture before slave trade was abolished, If u upset by the N word, I won't recommend watching it, I believe he wants to tell the story of black slavery to younger generation who are enjoying the fruits and proudly saying America is a free country. |
Re: Django Unchained = Inappropriate And Awkward? by Samxiulee: 5:34pm On Jan 08, 2013 |
Can we blacks get to worry about something better than being called a n.igger?its just a Latin word,meaning black!Arabs, Indians,and mongols are far more racist than white folks,so pls cut them some slacks,a with man fought for eradication of slavery,a white nation Great Britain financed and championed the crusade againt other nations involve in slave trade,a country went into civil war cause of slavery,us civil war,we need to give them some credit. BTW most slaves were sold into slavery by their fellow blackmen,and its also a fact that,there are more black slave in the Arab world than others. |
