THIS is why the way Tarantino wrote Django Unchained is complete BULLSHIT.. READ THAT ARTICLE^^^^^
* Dude RANAWAY - ESCAPED in 1852 that article was published 1857 so he's been gone for 5 YEARS...
* He passed himself off as a FREE MAN and lived under ASSUMED NAMES in all that time...
* Worked with an irish dude in escaping Raleigh. Now MAYBE the irish guy was an abolitionist and convinced him to escape or MAYBE he talked the irish guy into helping him in any case nothing can happen unless Dennis took the first step and decided to take the chance you know...like a REAL HERO would. And this how his story STARTS..not ends. And MAYBE he passed thru all those towns because he was looking for his woman or family that was sold all over. Its possible.
This is the south...this is the a few years before the civil war the SAME time period of the film. And this is REAL HISTORY not a mash up of speghetti westerns and blaxploitation with some rap music thrown in
QT made that film the way he did for a reason and it had NOTHING to do with pleasing a black audience.
at least you can admit it

you know it and I know it.you can trademark a theory??
here we go
well here's the thread... White girls saying Nigga(er) during sex....
read it..bump it and find out..I don't give a fuck..
now that the ad hominem attacks are done care to get back to the topic
thats funny cuz thats not how QT thinks of it:
It's a revenge fantasy that, depending on your perspective, makes this either the rare film to honestly present the ugliness of slavery, or one that treats atrocity as a backdrop for genre movie irreverence. It's probably both.
"If the only purpose of this movie was to make a shocking expose about slavery ... that would be well and good. You could definitely do that," says Tarantino. "But this movie wants to be a little more than just that."
"With black audiences, they laugh, they just get it," says Tarantino. "Part of the humor is stemming out of: `We were afraid of these idiots?'"
"It's the most important subject in America, both from a historical perspective and in our day to day lives," says Tarantino. "There are a whole lot of white filmmakers that might wish to venture into this area but they're afraid. They're afraid of being criticized."

If its NOT about black empowerment and for a dude who thinks he knows black people so well, he makes the white character so prominent that the flick should have been called Schultz & Django...then what the hell is film about?
If you KNOW that's not what a black hero should look like..if you KNOW that a black director would come from a different angle then what do you see in the film that makes you go all
as for Everyone keeps saying its just a movie. If its "just a movie" then make Django the hero from the beginning.. If its "just a movie" then reduce Shcultz character and bring Broomhilda forward...if its "just a movie" then have Django manipulate Schultz and use him and if he gets killed in the process so be it becuz its all about getting his wife back.
Now go to a studio and pitch THAT story and tell them "hey its just a movie" and see what THEY say
When its some bullshit for US its "just a movie"
When its some bullshit for THEM they flat out reject it.
Thats why that excuse doesn't float to me.
Great answer and now where getting to the nitty gritty of it. The only issue then is are you sayin that Django the title character couldn't carry the emotional story in a slave film? Are you saying that a white foreigner whose eyes we see the horrors of slavery thru is a better character to convey the emotion and conflict of slavery in the south?
The first hour of the film goes to great length to show the relationship between the slave and the bounty hunter which would explain why the film has something of a buddy-cop feel to it more than the man on singular quest feel it should have. If youre talking about an emotional component and want to save the action for Django then couldn't Broomhilda serve that purpose since she's the one whose being tortured, raped and held captive for nearly the whole movie?
Tarantino is credited for the stark depiction of plantation life. He showed the horrors of torture devices like the muzzle Django was strapped up in and the hot box Broomhilda was forced into but he never showed the impact it had on the slaves themselves. Before I saw the film I read a review and the writer said he was impressed with how Tarantino portrayed a post traumatic stress disorder moment in the movie. I was like wow, okay QT has dug deep here, no one has shown the effects of PTSD in a film that involves slavery but it would stand to reason that it would not only happen but be common place considering what the slaves had been through. So I see the film and it does show a PTSD moment...happening to SCHULTZ. The one person who's never had to deal with hard ship like that sees one horrible incident and has twitching flashbacks. Meanwhile Broomhilda was in a hotbox for 10 HOURS and how do we see how she deals with it hours later?? Oh, we don't.
And this is the crux of the issue me and others who agree have with stories like Django.. the CRUCIAL component of the film is carried by a white character and the response I keep getting back (from my OWN PEOPLE no less) is that it CAN'T be any other way.
And the fucked up part is theyre RIGHT it COULDN'T be told another way and get the green light and acceptance that it has. But that just makes me dislike the film that much more and why I'm telling black people they shouldn't accept this compromised water-down story because it had to be designed so that its palatable to white people even tho its JUST A MOVIE
I dislike QT's arrogance in thinking he's made some sort of paradigm shifting film. I am angry that the studios curb black creativity. I feel black people should be more discerning in what's being presented to us. I'm not mad the film made money but I am mad that a TRUE black produced film doing the same subject matter wouldn't make that much or get overseas distribution.
Quentin Tarantino has been in the entertainment business for a long time and he's well aware of things like demographics and marketing. He also knows how to make a story that has massive mainstream appeal. Now in the marketing business there are code terms for demographics that are used in lieu of referring directly to an ethnic or racial group. The two main terms we all hear are the urban market (which means Black people or in more general terms minorities) and the mainstream market (which is basically White folks, the majority). Marketing research and studies have concluded that films that either focus on or have majority non white casting tend to not do as well as with "mainstream" audiences as movies with white leads or majority white casts. Its not that minority cast films fail but they don't generate as much box office revenue as predominately white cast films. Unless its stars Will Smith or Denzel Washington. Tarantino understands this.
It won't...they said that with Sidney Poitier films...Roots...Spike Lee's early works. They've been saying that for 40 years and It won't because the paradigm CAN'T change as long as the views, beliefs and attitudes of white people control how projects get made.
