Bro. Dick Gregory On 'Django Unchained': "Spike Lee Is A Thug & A Punk."
- Thread starter alexw
- Start date
He lost me when he said he saw Django UnChained 12 times!! GTFOH I guess he didn't have anything else to do with his time and $$?
I went to see Django because it looked interesting. I liked the fact the Jamie Foxx had a leading role in the film and Kerry Washington is featured. I felt that the only way to have a real opinion about the movie was to see it for myself.
The movie was good/entertaining with some remarkable performances, but Mr Gregory talking like that is the best movie he ever saw.Maybe i saw a different version of it.
I'll probably go to the theater tomorrow, but i'm damn sure not going to pay to see Django again.Too many other flicks to see.

I am so done with this shit.
It's bad enough I have to deal with bitches at work who refuse to get off my case because I didn't like (much of) the film and that I have problems with Taratino coming off like he's the White Saviour of Black Culture and shit.
Even the White cats at my job don't want to "go there" with me.

I was beginning to think i was the only one who wasn't impressed with it.
My wife(surprisingly) and teen son both liked it a lot more than me.
Even with the great cast and performances i just thought the story itself was full of excess BS.
The big shootout scene at the end was unrealistic.
None of them mofos could shoot straight except Django.
Always good to hear the wisdom of Mr.Gregory...truthspeaking & teaching...

isnt that true in any shoot em up movie, tho?
the hero has pinpoint accuracy while the villains are always bad shots
There was nothing "off" about Dick Gregory in that interview...all of his thoughts were clear and concise. It is so easy to dismiss an older cat (who has a wealth of knowledge) and say he is out of touch and losing it simply because he is older. His opinion simply didn't sit right with a lot of y'all who have been on your e-militant ramblings and haven't bothered to watch the flick. Dick Gregory is one of the original militants...he has never had a fuck to give !!

This muthafucka here must have never seen the original Django or Sukiyaki Western Django...they killed way more people than QT and Foxx's rendition of the character.
Shit, the first Django damn near killed a whole city full of villians by himself...
IM SAYING
this dude gonna act like this is the movie where nobody could shoot but django
so that's why he don't like
i mean
come the fuck on
anyway
don't comment on the movie if you haven't seen it.
if you have seen it come with facts that happened in the movie no interpretations of things you trying to read into.
if you didn't think a slavery piece was going to have the n word in it you're a fool.
this is the movie where his n word fit only because of the piece.
i have a problem with his other movies using the n word, but not really all that much because you're kidding yourself if you don't think white people still don't talk like that... they do
just not around YOU
they openly talked like that shit up until 1965

Black man, Love story, killing white people, while we paying millions of dollars that could be used to collectively elevate our people, yet we spend that money to watch our women get beat, men fighting like animals then eaten by dogs, and of course the explaining for slavery due to dimples on your skull, etc all for "entertainment".
interesting time we live in, suprised he went hard on Spike like that, I do know a ton of Black heavy hitters from that era, who absolutely hated the watered down, almost comical image of Malcolm..
hate to see Gregory go against another brother to save a white man though

Exactly
You have a point sir. We couldn't have the hero get killed now could we?
does the hero ever get killed in westerns, revenge stories, or shoot em up movies?
i have no idea what bullshit youre on
but it is bullshit
what folks won t see is that this movie was a classic Tarentino film.....
He has done this with all groups of folks....
you don t think he called mexicans crazy names in dusk til dawn?

True. I never heard of Django until UnChained was being released. Saw the kill count video on YouTube. I was trying to figure out where Django was getting all that ammunition.

I may be on some bullshit but i thought the last shootout scene was bullshit too.
I wasn't expecting or hoping for the lead character to get killed. But he was taking cover behind dead bodies and furniture with his head exposed to gunfire and was never seriously wounded.
That just stood out to me as cartoonish. If that's classic QT then so be it.

LOL, how are you gonna watch a 3 hour movie that came out 2.5 weeks ago 12 times? I Saw it the day I downloaded it in the theater. When I told a chick I am talking to that I had it I tried to watch it the day before she came over and I was like, "Lemme wait..." about 45 minutes in.
I get what he is saying about Spike. Nigg*r is like a knife throw, it is supposed to weaken you, and back in those days they threw a ton of knives attempting to weaken us. I have no trouble with the word in this movie because back in those days they used the hell out of it, and for the first time in a movie they actually used it comparable to how much they used it back then.
Tarantino I have to say in Pulp Fiction, as much as I loved that movie, I cringed when I heard his character say, "Dead N*gger storage." Multiple times. I know, and am friends with several White people. You know how often they use that word around me? I may have heard it 5 times, and always in poignant conversations, and NEVER like that. "Dead N*gger storage." was offensive, and I hate that that piece was a part of the movie because it could have gone without it. No White person has been bold, or stupid enough to use it around me, though I have corrected a few with stares or words (like Will Smith in Hancock, "Say n*gger...One...more...time")
It was a good movie, good message of love and revenge. At a time when poor Whites, the ONLY things they had over Black people was that word AND for once they weren't the absolute lowest person on the totem pole. It was heavily used at the time. Spike was wrong on this one. Gregory is 85-15. 15% bullshit, but his track record makes me respect his 85% and disregard his 15%.

This is so simplistic.
Every movie ever made by Tarantino is disparaging to blacks - especially black males.
This movie is no different.
Some blacks are so thirsty to see a black man harm a white man, even if it is fictional, that they will tolerate/overlook all kinds of emotional abuse.
Love story my ass.
Kerry Washington didn't speak more than 5 lines to her husband in the whole movie.
But yall go ahead and worship whitey for giving yall a slavery era hero in the 21 century.
Yep
He gave the movie too much credit though
I liked it but "Posse" was a good movie about black cowboys as well
One of my favorite movies it was kinda slept on really
pause
man you sound stupid. so blk folks cant watch any movie for entertainment purposes? you got a computer at home, why dont you sell that for the blk cause? dont try that ol jewish woman guilt trip bullshit. that movie wasnt about blks skull and eaten by dogs. if you think that, it went over your head. too fucking dumb to realize he was making whts look like idiot savages. e militants like you wont let a brother have shit for himself.

Brilliant Afrikan scholars have written books (B-O-O-K-S) for our enlightenment and upliftment - shout to the Yurugu thread! - and supporting/celebrating a European's slave comedy is the thanks we give them. Empty headed negroes are truly reprehensible.
this negro sounds like Shorty in Malcolm X, talking about he can't give up pork and white women
