Fun fact when Leonardo DiCaprio got sad about the hobbits and kicked the helmet and fell down yelling it was because he actually broke his foot on the helmet.
Here's a fun fact you don't hear about much: When SisterWife gets shot and gets yanked back out of frame, it is an homage to old spaghetti westerns when women couldn't die on screen. So they used the rope yank out of frame to get around that rule 😄
15:19 "Walking in the moonlight" Is a reference to lynching. He's basically saying "Keep that up and we'll hang you from a tree, one night". Django's response was just a snarky snap, insinuating that the guy is romantically interested in him and the "Walking in the moonlight" statement referred to a nice date.
That dinner table scene where leo dicaprio hand was bleeding was real. He actually smash his hand on glass and kept going. When Quentin yell CUT the entire set applaud him
FUN FACT: Refined flour (white flour) was pretty new at that time and was considered a rich man’s product, because it took more processing to get the flour to that state. Previously wheat was stone ground and did not have a long shelf life. When it was discovered you could sift out the germ and the bran, the flour was much smoother and lasted much longer. This is why Candy said “We’re going to have white cake.” Because it was pretty rare and pretty awesome. No one could afford to make white cake.
I'm pretty sure white flour was used for a long time and was probably first produced in ancient Egypt. It was quite expensive until the 19th century, because wheat was more labor-intensive and white flour - and therefore white bread - was more a thing for special occasions and for the wealthy. Then the costs were reduced extremely quickly with the introduction of industrial processes in the 19th century. I think you are refering to the introduction of roller milling to make white flour, but that was somewhere around 1870, the story of the movie starts in 1859. Recipes for white cake from the 19th century don't really mention any special kind of flour, just "flour". And I would always be careful with saying something like "No one could afford to make X food". Most food options weren't that expensive that it was absolutely not affordable for less rich people, it was just too much for them to spend on a fancy food item. Just like today people could totally buy some expensive food like caviar, they just don't really do it - not even for special occassions - because it's probably not worth it. Rich people don't really have to think about prices for food like that, normal people usually feel they can spend the money for something better. Just like people like to say that salt was so expensive in medieval times. But average people bought salt all the time. Yes, they spent a big chunk of their income for it, but it was still accessable. A bit like motor fuel today. Yes, it's expensive and the people who control the production make a lot of money from it, but even low-income people living in remote areas can buy enough fuel for their 30 year old car.
When I lived in Appalacia in the 80's there was still residule effect of that kind of naming convention. Milk was called sweet milk to distinguish itself from buttermilk. Bread was called white bread to distinguish itself from wheat bread, corn bread etc
Think carefully about the brilliance of Waltz's performance in both films. In the 19th Century Austria and Germany were the pinnacle of everything. Music, philosophy, science, human rights...Everything. They viewed slavery as abhorrent just as Waltz portrays. Flash forward a mere 80 years and Waltz in Inglorious Bastards portrays how it all fell apart.
Ehh I mean Jews were tolerated but not loved in Austria in the time period. It was a high point in everything if you were western European or a very clever Jew. But all it took was losing a couple of wars for the population to completely turn on them.
@@tomgolding9478 Don't fully agree. Yes, there were periods of positives and negatives depending on the monarch. More rights were given then restricted. Then really opened with Joseph II and then Franz Joseph as the Austro-Hungarian monarch even traveled to Jerusalem. He also granted the Jewish pop full equal rights. Budapest is still home to the largest synagogue in Europe on Dohány Street. Been there, beautiful place.
@@tomgolding9478 For some reason my reply disappeared. But essentially it was up and down over centuries. Emperor Joseph awarded several new rights to the Jews. A little after the time the movie is set Franz Joseph is the Austro-Hungarian emperor and he gave the Jews full and equal rights. Budapest is still home to the largest synagogue in Europe on Dohány Street, been there, amazing place seats about 3,000.
Samuel L Jackson WAS in Inglorious Basterds, albeit as a voice-over. He certainly wasn't in Reservoir Dogs, tho. Also, there's a joke in Schultz being a dentist and the main bounties being against Brittle and Candy.
33:22 The range of emotions that Kerry Washington conveys in these few seconds without saying a word is amazing. Terror as she hears someone walking up. Attempting to harden herself as she hears them opening the door. Complete shock verging on tears when she hears his voice. A brief moment of disbelief, like she thinks she only imagined it. Then just a flood of relief and joy as she realizes it's real. Amazing.
Dicaprio should be in every motivational video: he bled for that Oscar and still *crickets*, but he kept going, and eventually he got it. I don’t even think he’s remembered by his performance win as much as he is by all his losses 😂
I believe the double casting of James Remar is an intentional homage to the genre: Back in the day, western movies were shot on the tightest of budgets - so reusing actors for more than one role was not unusual. I think it's one of Tarantino's small nods to the genre this movie is a loveletter to.
Also, it wasn’t the first time Tarantino double cast someone. Michael Parks played the sheriff at the wedding chapel crime scene and later he plays the pimp when Beatrix is getting closer to Bill. He might have done it before that, but that’s the only other one of which I am aware.
And the three roles that Cheech Marin had in "From Dusk Til Dawn" Cheech plays a Mexican Border guard, the Titty Twister hype man, and the friend that was finally there to meet at dawn.
This movie is tied to the Kill Bill movies. Avoiding spoilers, in Vol. 2 there’s a scene in a graveyard in El Paso Texas, and you see a gravestone marked Paula Schultz, with the year of death being exactly the same year Dr. King Schultz started bounty hunting.
The scene with Jonah Hill and Don Johnson is one of the funniest things I have ever seen in a movie theater, people were falling out of their chairs laughing.
Yes it was hilarious. I just about know Django almost verbatim that's how much me and my oldest son always makes jokes or requote the words in this so much. Every ody understood the assignment! 💯 👏🏼
"Years ago, I would have said I was going to be the hero or Django, but [Tarantino] took too long to write it," Jackson said. "When he sent it to me, he said read the role of Stephen. I read it and was like, 'Oh, you really want me to be the most despised Negro in cinematic history?'
I think DiCaprio's delivery with, "There have been a lot of lies said around this dinner table here tonight, BUT THAT YOU CAN BELIEVE!" might be one of my favourite moments in all of his career
In the dinner scene, when you described Samuel as the hype man, he actually came up with that bit of repeating the lines as an add on to Leo's dialogue. He proposed the change to Quentin, and it got put in.
The woman with the red scarf is Zoe Bell. Tarantino met her when she auditioned to be Uma Thurman's stunt double for the Kill Bill movies. They became really good friends during those movies and since then she's been either a stunt double and/or an actress in every Tarantino movie. The most on screen time she had in a Tarantino movie was in Death Proof, where she played herself.
24:43 The hand of DiCaprio was bloody because when he smashed the table broke a glass cutting his hand. This really happened during the shooting of the scene but DiCaprio continued in character as nothing happened so Tarantino continued the take.
13:26 Ladies and gentlemen, we are enjoying the company of the legendary, the one and only, Franco Nero. The original Django from good old 1966. The fact that the old and new Django are together at the bar, talking about the nature of the name... and the new Django explaining to the old that the D in Django is spoken silently, to which old Django replies "I know." Quentin Tarantino Filmmaking Masterclass!
I actually find Calivins (Samuel L Jacksons character) pretty interesting. He is still technically a slave but he is a house slave, seen as higher status back then. Yet here comes Django, a free man. So Calvin spent however many years sucking up to people to get his position just to see like the antithesis of who he is ride in randomly
You can also see how his demeanour instantly changes when he is alone in a room with his "master". They both know he is the brains behind Candyland, but they put on a show for everybody else.
Tarantino's partner in the slave running is the actor, John Jarrett who is Australian. It was easier for Tarantino to do an Aussie accent than it ws for Jarrett to do an American accent.
Tarantino also seems to include an Australia reference most of his films: - Pulp Fiction, the watch is on the Kangaroo. - Kill Bill, they say that Bill was mining for silver in Perth. - Death Proof, Lee mistakes Zoe for Australian. Zoe also mentions playing Ship's Mast in Australia. - Inglorious Basterds, it sounds like the clip about nitrate film might have been from Australia. - Hateful 8, Daisy sings Jim Jones At Botany Bay. - Once Upon A Time In Holliwood... casting Margot Robie, I guess. I don't know about Reservoir Dogs or Jackie Brown, though.
24:39 he slammed his hand down on the table and smashed a glass.... in real life... he played through the scene like it was part of it.... such phenomenal acting!
I’m sure someone mentioned it somewhere but Leo actually cut his hand when he slammed it down on the table, and he just kept on acting. When the scene was over the entire cast and directing team gave him a standing ovation❤️ amazing acting
Django unchained is a homage to the good old Italo Westerns, which were known for their very hard, brutal style and for the rider who takes revenge at the end. Franco Nero, who is allowed to play in this film, was the original Django. Emigrants from German-speaking countries actually had mostly no slaves, for them hard work was part of life, the majority of them served in the Union army in the Civil War, among other things, for the south fought far fewer and many of them not really voluntarily. Unfortunately, there were also a few slave traders , but that wasn't the bulk. Tarantino is a fan of the German Karl May films and Dr. King Schultz was influenced by them.
Samuel Jackson was the narrator in Inglorious Bastards. Quintin loves making movies w/ his group of friends. Watching his movies you’ll see the same people over and over again. Leo hurt his hand when he shattered the skull in the table. He really cut open his hand filming the scene & everyone was terrified. He kept filming regardless. Such an amazing scene in an amazing movie with an outstanding cast.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Quentin Tarantino is a lunatic. But, its undeniable that he's one of the greatest directors in the history of Hollywood cinema, perhaps in the top 10. Great reaction! 👍🏿
He’s a director who truly loves cinema and puts his heart and soul into his profession, the result being extremely personal and lovable films that just have so much character to them.
That was indeed a real horse that fell. One that had been trained to remain calm during it, with trainers and crew members making sure it is as safe for the horse to fall over as it would be for a human to fall over.
Y’all rock! Sam Jackson’s character wasn’t faking. There’s an old saying about “dying on your feet,” that’s why he tossed the cane. Look closely and he still hobbled toward Django.
12:08 The neck-hooks were used on those who were considered "flight risks", for want of a better term, to make running through woods and dense undergrowth impossible. Some of them also had jingle bells on the prongs so that the wearer couldn't stop making noise. I find instruments of cruelty rather fascinating; they're often much more creative and varied than our more benevolent inventions...
9:00 or so, the theater audience wasn't expecting this. The laughter was kinda nervous at first, and then it just got louder and louder as the scene went on. Monty Python level comedy, in such a serious film. 13:09 yes that's James Remar ..again Quentin probably just thought he didn't get enough screen time earlier.
Even better comparison, 😉👍was just the first funny thing I thought of. Maybe in "Life of Brian" when they're questioning what have the 'Bloody Romans ever done for us..' and random people in the room keep piping in. And in "Django" with those hoods on you can't tell who's speaking. Really funny though.
My thinking about this scene is that when they wear the hoods normally, their greatest weapon is fear. By making them the comic relief and the hoods something to be laughed at, their power was taken away.
Considering Waltz won both Oscars for acting in Tarantino's films, DJANGO was the more surprising (but then again, his Doctor character here is hysterical)
Beggining of the movie: Q.T.: Blows horse brains out with lot of blood. End of the movie: Q.T.: "No horses were harmed in the making of this movie." Simone: 😁
Hilde didn't JUST faint from seeing Django - but from heat exhaustion, & dehydration, as well as the shock of the water she was drinking, to her system. Also the relief she felt seeing Django dressed well, like a white man, & armed. It was All a shock to her senses...anyone who's ever experienced heat exhaustion & dehydration, knows what that feels like, & how sick it can make you feel.
Seeing it again, Tarantino definitely got some inspiration from Blazing Saddles for this one. And that little cameo by Franco Nero seems to escape everybody. He was the original Jango and they used the intro song from his movie for this one.
I found your channel about 2 weeks ago, subbed after the first watch... And you guys have quickly become one of my go-to channels. So less "performative" than others, you guys seem really genuine - makes my day!
It wasn't a weird thing about Waltz's character being German. It's documented that Immigrant Germans were against slavery in the US from early to mid 1800s. I would assume that's why he wrote him that way. (Yes, I know they were referring to his role in inglorious basterds to this...calm down.)
If you didn't catch it Django said Auf Wiedersehen to Schultz's corpse, if you remember Schultz said to Mr Candy that Auf Wiedersehen means "see you again" and so he will just say goodbye instead to him instead.
The opening scene/credits were shot in the Alabama Hills, on rte 395 in the Eastern Sierra/California. The hills have long been a favored location site for Hollywood since the 1910s. In the town of Lone Pine, which fronts the hills, there’s a wonderful museum of film and TV history for shows shot in the Alabama Hills. QT has donated the tooth carriage, as well as many pieces of memorabilia from the movie. For anyone who’s a film fan or buff, I strongly recommend a visit! It’s western-heavy, but episodes of STDS9, Tremors, Ironman, and many other shows were shot there.
Fun Fact:::The blood on Leonardo DiCaprio hand was real that's when he slammed his hand on the table and he really cut his hand open that tells you what type of amazing actor he is to stay in character he was improvising
Better fact: yes he really cut his hand, but they cut after noticing and patched him up. But Tarantino liked it and added fake blood to keep the scene going
I still remember the day when me and my friend went to watch this on the cinema, when Django said he would pick his own clothes, my friend said “He’s gonna dress up like a pimp” the row behind us giggled, and when the reveal happened, everyone was laughing their asses off, it was glorious
"it's a german legend, there's going to be a mountain in somewhere" i remember LOSING IT in the theater, when that line happened, as a German individual 😂😂
24:30 - Leo actually cut his hand when he slammed it on the table. The blood in this scene is real. He stayed in character and they kept filming. It ended up in the final version of the film. A testament to the type of actor he is and commitment he has to a role.
1:20 Samuel L. Jackson is in "Inglorius Bastards" as the narrator. He isnt in Reservoir Dogs, all tho he auditioned for it, meeting Tarantino for the first time. Obviosly did not get the part, but ultimately Tarantino wrote Pulp Fiction for him a few month later.
Good picturing of the christian values against other people , its still alive and doing well in US of A , go figure . And this is close to the reality of that ere in southern states .
32:26 The woman in the red scarf is stuntwoman Zoe Bell. She used to be stuntwoman for Lucy Lawless in "Xena", and she's been in a few Tarantino movies. She gets her best time in front of the camera in Tarantino's "Death Proof"...one of two films made as a back-to-back movie special called "Grindhouse". Tarantino teamed up with Robert Rodriguez to release two back-to-back films across movie theaters, complete with fake trailers to other movies. It was kind of an over-the-top salute to some classic movie-making. My wife and I attended "Grindhouse", knowing we were getting 2 different movies for the price of one. It did not disappoint.
It's implied, through Hilde's last name, that Django Unchained is a stealth prequel to 1970's blaxpoitation classic Shaft, and Samuel L. Jackson played Shaft (and Shaft's nephew) in the 2000 reboot/sequel Shaft (as well as reprising his role in the 2019 reboot/sequel). Also, the oddly accented man in the... underground boxing match was played by Franco Nero, who originated the original character of Django in the classic Spaghetti Western Django in 1966. He only reprised the role for one of the many (official and unofficial) sequels, in Django Strikes Again! in 1987. (He was also in Die Hard 2, as General Esperanza).
Imagine being in a Move with Jamie Fox, Tarantino, Sam Jackson and DeCaprio as some Austrian Actor and you outshine all of them, Christoph is just a gifted actor, i m so impressed.
Fun fact Leonardo Actually cut his hand open when he slammed it on the glass he wasn't actually faking it nor was it fake blood that he wiped on Hilda. Also great reaction!
Everyone keeps repeating this but I really REALLY hope they did cut the scene before he wipes blood on Kerry Washington to at least ask her first because I would be so upset and angry if a co-worker smeared his actual blood on me. That's a health concern man.
This is partially incorrect. Yes, he did cut his hand, but he did not smear real blood on her face. That would've been a major health and safety violation, which is illegal and would never in a million years be allowed. They replaced the blood with fake blood for that take.
The hooks around their necks were to dissuade them running away. The woods in the area were thick with briars and vines. The hooks get hung up on everything making escape nearly impossible.
Christoph Waltz only agreed to be in another one of Tarantino's movies if he played the good guy, after his infamous role as a Nazi in Inglorious Basterds .
In the scene where they meet Candy the actor that played Django in the 1966 Italian film is the other guy on the sofa. Franco Nero. Nice nod to the original film by Tarantino.
Just in case it hasnt already been said by someone else; Leo actually injured his hand slamming the table and breaking a glass but kept the scene going regardless! Turned out super well honestly
Gotta say, movie was fantastic, acting was fenomenal: we empathized with Django, felt ofended as Schultz, hatted Candy, fell in love with Broomhilda and wanted to kill Steven, all of them were just perfect!
I don't know if you know but the song "Ancora qui" is performed by the italian singer Elisa, who has been like one of the top 5 female singers here in Italy for the last 20 years and still is ☺️
Ever sense Quentin Tarantino said all his movies are in the same universe I've loved them more because that means there are possibly vampires in the movies without us really knowing. If that makes sense?
Christoph Waltz is a highly respected actor in his native Austria. He won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for this film, as well as Inglourious Basterds. He also plays the villainous Blofeld in two James Bond movies, Spectre and No Time To Die.
One of the more interesting things about this movie is that while Christoph Waltz is certainly a likable character, he ultimately isn't quite as good a guy as he presents himself. The second half of the movie is largely about respectability politics, and/or the hard-earned ability to grin and take it. As a slave, Django has already endured any number of cruelties and every kind of racist discrimination humans can think up, so keeping his cool in the environment of Candyland is no problem for him. Schultz thinks of himself as enlightened, and he's certainly not a bigot like the slave owners, but he has the thin skin of somebody who hasn't had to endure what Django has lived through, and thus he can't swallow his pride long enough to shake Calvin's hand so that he and Django can escape peacefully with Broomhilda (which would let Calvin off scot-free, but would be safer for all three of them). Schultz has a mirror in the form of Stephen. Stephen is a man who has accepted to the point of furthering his oppressor's goals and power. He hates Django because Django has endured but not broken. Both Stephen and Django are acting out of self-preservation, but Stephen has had to sell his soul and his people out in order to do it. In the end, Django proves that he's better than both of them. He is freed twice in the movie: once by Dr. Schultz's hand, but the second and more important time, by his own.
Being thin skinned has nothing to do with being either a good or a bad guy. I also disagree that it was pride. It was not pride, it was indignation. Which makes him a better guy than he presents himself... to a fault, unfortunately.
@@Dacre1000 I mean, it was indignation, but the source of it was pride. In the grand scheme of things, it's not like it somehow means anything to give Calvin the handshake he wanted. It would have gotten everyone out safely, and they still could've found a way to blow up Candyland. It's not to say that he should want to shake the guy's hand, of course. But it was an obvious goad from Calvin, and Dr. Schultz took the bait. I admit this is less of a moral failing, so "good" vs "bad" was probably the wrong way to put it. It's a character flaw. But it is a shortcoming.
@@tylerfoster6267 Yeah, the handshake was a symbolic acknowledgement that Candie outsmarted Schultz and only let Broomhilda free because he is really a businessman at heart who cares about money, not because he is cruel or immoral. We, the audience, and Schultz know that this is blatantly untrue, that Candie is not smart enough to discover the plan (Stephen was), and that he's selling Broomhilda only to fake magnanimity and humiliate Schultz (flashbacks to the slave being eaten alive). It also destroys Shultz's internal narrative as the savior, when he described the myth of Brynhild to Django. In the end, he chose to make a "noble" sacrifice to kill Candie and make him the hero of his own story rather than caring about the lives of Django and Broomhilda. It's indicative of Shultz's true character.
@@SnailHatanyeah but he choose to kill Calvin even though it meant his friend and wife might die. It represents white people who hate racist white people so much that hurting them becomes the goal more than helping the oppressed.
@@fuzzylongcat that’s not entirely true, as rubbing your blood on another person without their consent is a huge no-no and would never fly on any film set. They’d get shut down in a millisecond for the health code violations alone and the actor could get charged with assault. What really happened was this: The cut in the wide shot was real. The blood in the wide shot was real. However, the blood in the closeup and smear was not, as it was not shot at the same time, but later after Leo’s wound had been tended too, and with another camera setup. QT loved the take with the blood and so it was incorporated into the next setup and the rest of the scene. But yes, the smear was indeed an improv, but at that point the blood was fake.
The actor that plays Butch at 13:08 is the same who plays the character from the beginning of the film. It was common in spaghetti westerns for actors to play more than one character. Tarantino also shows up twice, once as a baghead member and then later as the Australian.
In the scene with Tarantino, The guy who hands Django the gun, "Don't drop the Fkn thing, Just had the sights fixed and they are perfect", Is Australian, John Jarratt, an ex TV presenter on Australian TV who turned to films, acting and directing. He was the main antagonist in the Wolf Creek films / series, as the Serial Killer, Mick Taylor. th-cam.com/video/N_YaZ-emcPc/w-d-xo.html
I just watched this movie today for the first time so I could watch your reaction, because you both show me things I never see. I keep reaching the conclusion that I have no sense of humor, because I never see the jokes as they are happening,. That happens with just about every movie, not just this one. Listening to you both laugh as you watch always cheers me up. I guess Quentin Tarantino meant for all of us to laugh at times during this movie, and if it were not for both of you, I would never know that he put jokes in there at all. Thanks again.
everybody loves Schultz, you can argue that he's not actually a very good man when you really think about but he's so very charming with it that you sort of forgive him.
The woman in red scarf is Zoe Bell, who was originally Uma Thurman's stunt double in Kill Bill, got a role in Tarantino's Death Proof and she was also in The Hateful Eight and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
That Schultz line when he kills Candie of, "I couldn't resist", *I Think* was intended to be Tarantino's direct line to critics/audience saying that his movies are too violent. Because, when Django came out, of course, all hell broke loose because of the writer/director being white, knowing damn well what kind of movie he usually makes and the action that's in it. Well, whatever...you know this movie was great when Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan came out in defense of this movie against Spike Lee trying to cancel it & Tarantino, lol.
DiCaprio actually cut hos hand when the glass broke as he slammed on the table. The whistling music at the end was theme to "They Call Me Trinity" One of the very best from Tarantino
You are definitely right James Remar played two characters in this movie. James is most famous for the cult classic “The Warriors”(1979) as “Ajax”. One of my favorite movies of all time. My friends and I got to see it as teenagers when it came out!!! Cheesy but highly recommend🔥🔥🔥
I'm sure I'm repeating th I s, but when Leonardo DiCaprio's hand started bleeding, it was because he accidentally broke a glass when he slammed his hand on the table, but due the depth of his immersion in the moment, he fi ished the scene with a bleeding hand. The take was so on point, they kept it, and wrote in the injury for later scenes.
24:31 - He cut his hand the moment he slammed it on the table, accidentally breaking one of the glasses; I guess he misjudged or didn't see it. He really did that, and he really bled for the rest of that scene/take.
By far my favourite Tarantino movie, great performances from everyone involved but especially DiCaprio, I cant think of many characters Ive genuinely DETESTED more than Calvin Candie (and whilst a large part of thats down to Tarantinos writting and direction the lions share of the credit goes to Leo who is just incedible here! He's righ up there withe the likes of Geoffry in GoT for characters I want dead more than any other I can think of! Probably more so given this one is more grounded in real history and humanity at its absolute lowest :(
Not sure if you'll see this, but at 12:08, those "masks" (I don't remember what they're called) were real slavery accessories. Their purpose was to make it hard to impossible for slaves to effectively escape. They were designed such that they would easily snag onto plants and trees, either ensnaring the slave, trapping them, or straight up break their neck if they ran fast and hard enough into something.
@@DementedDistraction, hahahah very understandable. However, I don't have a foot fetish myself but if the goddess that is Salma Hayek wanted to stick her foot in my mouth, I'd happily oblige.
The woman with the red bandana on her face is Zoe Bell. She is a professional stunt woman and was Uma Thurman's stunt double in the Kill Bill movies. She is also in Death Proof and has a minor role in Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight".
It is a testament to how big Will Smiths ego is that he got the part for Django and then had the cheek to tell Tarantino (the greatest writer/director of his generation) that he would only do the movie if he changed the theme of the movie from a revenge movie to a romance movie. Perhaps he was trying to impress his wife who's name i will keep out of my mouth.
"Fun" fact : The actor portraying the Italian slave owner in the mandingo fight scene is Franco Nero who played the "original" Django in the Spaghetti western films
Quentin's Aussie accent was passable. Unless you're an Aussie. I think if he had to do a monologue it's limitations would become apparent but he kept it short and sweet. I was hoping John Jarrett would have a bigger part as he's a brilliant actor. Check out Wolf Creek for a sample of what he can do
When Leonardo DiCaprio’s hand gets bloody it’s because he slammed his hand down on the table and broke a glass that really happened and they kept the shot rolling an amazing performance
Fun fact when Leonardo DiCaprio got sad about the hobbits and kicked the helmet and fell down yelling it was because he actually broke his foot on the helmet.

Underappreciated comment.
Eh,what??🤔

Unless you're being sarcastic, the actor was Viggo Mortensen.

15:19 "Walking in the moonlight" Is a reference to lynching. He's basically saying "Keep that up and we'll hang you from a tree, one night". Django's response was just a snarky snap, insinuating that the guy is romantically interested in him and the "Walking in the moonlight" statement referred to a nice date.
"You wanna hold my hand." Could also be a threat to join him, that he would die before Django would hang.
Walking in the "Moonlight" meant that someone would take extra time, or do a second job.
@@StealthDiablo Not in this context..
@@steven95N definitely meant he wanted to be romantic with Django if he had the chance. Late night creeping is what walking in the moonlight means...

FUN FACT: Refined flour (white flour) was pretty new at that time and was considered a rich man’s product, because it took more processing to get the flour to that state. Previously wheat was stone ground and did not have a long shelf life. When it was discovered you could sift out the germ and the bran, the flour was much smoother and lasted much longer. This is why Candy said “We’re going to have white cake.” Because it was pretty rare and pretty awesome. No one could afford to make white cake.
Also the eggs in white cake are only the egg whites no yoke.
I'm pretty sure white flour was used for a long time and was probably first produced in ancient Egypt. It was quite expensive until the 19th century, because wheat was more labor-intensive and white flour - and therefore white bread - was more a thing for special occasions and for the wealthy. Then the costs were reduced extremely quickly with the introduction of industrial processes in the 19th century. I think you are refering to the introduction of roller milling to make white flour, but that was somewhere around 1870, the story of the movie starts in 1859. Recipes for white cake from the 19th century don't really mention any special kind of flour, just "flour". And I would always be careful with saying something like "No one could afford to make X food". Most food options weren't that expensive that it was absolutely not affordable for less rich people, it was just too much for them to spend on a fancy food item. Just like today people could totally buy some expensive food like caviar, they just don't really do it - not even for special occassions - because it's probably not worth it. Rich people don't really have to think about prices for food like that, normal people usually feel they can spend the money for something better. Just like people like to say that salt was so expensive in medieval times. But average people bought salt all the time. Yes, they spent a big chunk of their income for it, but it was still accessable. A bit like motor fuel today. Yes, it's expensive and the people who control the production make a lot of money from it, but even low-income people living in remote areas can buy enough fuel for their 30 year old car.
Awesome. Love these info tidbits.
When I lived in Appalacia in the 80's there was still residule effect of that kind of naming convention. Milk was called sweet milk to distinguish itself from buttermilk. Bread was called white bread to distinguish itself from wheat bread, corn bread etc
Think carefully about the brilliance of Waltz's performance in both films. In the 19th Century Austria and Germany were the pinnacle of everything. Music, philosophy, science, human rights...Everything. They viewed slavery as abhorrent just as Waltz portrays. Flash forward a mere 80 years and Waltz in Inglorious Bastards portrays how it all fell apart.
Exactly this.
So true. The tragedy isn't just Schultz dying, but he's oblivious to his descendants will commit genocide on a factory level.
Ehh I mean Jews were tolerated but not loved in Austria in the time period. It was a high point in everything if you were western European or a very clever Jew. But all it took was losing a couple of wars for the population to completely turn on them.
@@tomgolding9478 Don't fully agree. Yes, there were periods of positives and negatives depending on the monarch. More rights were given then restricted. Then really opened with Joseph II and then Franz Joseph as the Austro-Hungarian monarch even traveled to Jerusalem. He also granted the Jewish pop full equal rights. Budapest is still home to the largest synagogue in Europe on Dohány Street. Been there, beautiful place.
@@tomgolding9478 For some reason my reply disappeared. But essentially it was up and down over centuries. Emperor Joseph awarded several new rights to the Jews. A little after the time the movie is set Franz Joseph is the Austro-Hungarian emperor and he gave the Jews full and equal rights. Budapest is still home to the largest synagogue in Europe on Dohány Street, been there, amazing place seats about 3,000.
Samuel L Jackson WAS in Inglorious Basterds, albeit as a voice-over. He certainly wasn't in Reservoir Dogs, tho.
Also, there's a joke in Schultz being a dentist and the main bounties being against Brittle and Candy.

33:22 The range of emotions that Kerry Washington conveys in these few seconds without saying a word is amazing. Terror as she hears someone walking up. Attempting to harden herself as she hears them opening the door. Complete shock verging on tears when she hears his voice. A brief moment of disbelief, like she thinks she only imagined it. Then just a flood of relief and joy as she realizes it's real. Amazing.
That dinner scene should have given Leo his first Oscar because that was incredible!!
The fact that he carried the scene flawlessly with a heavily bleeding hand alone should've won him that Oscar.
He should have gotten an Oscar as soon as Departed, shit even aviator performance was kinda Oscar worthy
Against who did he lost?
@@fredmedrano6584 he never nominated for this role. But instead Christoph Waltz got his oscar for this film.
Dicaprio should be in every motivational video: he bled for that Oscar and still *crickets*, but he kept going, and eventually he got it. I don’t even think he’s remembered by his performance win as much as he is by all his losses 😂
I believe the double casting of James Remar is an intentional homage to the genre: Back in the day, western movies were shot on the tightest of budgets - so reusing actors for more than one role was not unusual.
I think it's one of Tarantino's small nods to the genre this movie is a loveletter to.
Also, it wasn’t the first time Tarantino double cast someone. Michael Parks played the sheriff at the wedding chapel crime scene and later he plays the pimp when Beatrix is getting closer to Bill. He might have done it before that, but that’s the only other one of which I am aware.
Don't forget Gordon Liu playing Crazy 88 leader and Pai Mei in Kill Bill.
And the three roles that Cheech Marin had in "From Dusk Til Dawn" Cheech plays a Mexican Border guard, the Titty Twister hype man, and the friend that was finally there to meet at dawn.
Yes!!! Good catches
@@musicaleuphoria8699 Gordin Lui is also Sonny chibas sushi apprentice. Triple cast.
This movie is tied to the Kill Bill movies. Avoiding spoilers, in Vol. 2 there’s a scene in a graveyard in El Paso Texas, and you see a gravestone marked Paula Schultz, with the year of death being exactly the same year Dr. King Schultz started bounty hunting.

The scene with Jonah Hill and Don Johnson is one of the funniest things I have ever seen in a movie theater, people were falling out of their chairs laughing.
Yes it was hilarious. I just about know Django almost verbatim that's how much me and my oldest son always makes jokes or requote the words in this so much. Every ody understood the assignment! 💯 👏🏼
"Years ago, I would have said I was going to be the hero or Django, but [Tarantino] took too long to write it," Jackson said. "When he sent it to me, he said read the role of Stephen. I read it and was like, 'Oh, you really want me to be the most despised Negro in cinematic history?'
I think DiCaprio's delivery with, "There have been a lot of lies said around this dinner table here tonight, BUT THAT YOU CAN BELIEVE!" might be one of my favourite moments in all of his career
He deserved an Oscar for this, instead of The Revenant
In the dinner scene, when you described Samuel as the hype man, he actually came up with that bit of repeating the lines as an add on to Leo's dialogue. He proposed the change to Quentin, and it got put in.
The woman with the red scarf is Zoe Bell. Tarantino met her when she auditioned to be Uma Thurman's stunt double for the Kill Bill movies. They became really good friends during those movies and since then she's been either a stunt double and/or an actress in every Tarantino movie. The most on screen time she had in a Tarantino movie was in Death Proof, where she played herself.
If I’m not mistaken she was supposed to have a bigger part in this movie but it just never happened
24:43 The hand of DiCaprio was bloody because when he smashed the table broke a glass cutting his hand. This really happened during the shooting of the scene but DiCaprio continued in character as nothing happened so Tarantino continued the take.
Absolute fucking incredible acting!!!
13:26 Ladies and gentlemen, we are enjoying the company of the legendary, the one and only, Franco Nero. The original Django from good old 1966. The fact that the old and new Django are together at the bar, talking about the nature of the name... and the new Django explaining to the old that the D in Django is spoken silently, to which old Django replies "I know." Quentin Tarantino Filmmaking Masterclass!
I actually find Calivins (Samuel L Jacksons character) pretty interesting. He is still technically a slave but he is a house slave, seen as higher status back then. Yet here comes Django, a free man. So Calvin spent however many years sucking up to people to get his position just to see like the antithesis of who he is ride in randomly
*Stephen
You can also see how his demeanour instantly changes when he is alone in a room with his "master". They both know he is the brains behind Candyland, but they put on a show for everybody else.
Calvin in Leo's character. Shephen is Sam Jackson's.
You also get the sense that he's internalised a hatred for his own people.
Stephen is more than 'just' a house slave in this movie, he's a fully-fledged friend of- and advisor to 'Mr. Candy'.
Tarantino's partner in the slave running is the actor, John Jarrett who is Australian. It was easier for Tarantino to do an Aussie accent than it ws for Jarrett to do an American accent.
Tarantino also seems to include an Australia reference most of his films:
- Pulp Fiction, the watch is on the Kangaroo.
- Kill Bill, they say that Bill was mining for silver in Perth.
- Death Proof, Lee mistakes Zoe for Australian. Zoe also mentions playing Ship's Mast in Australia.
- Inglorious Basterds, it sounds like the clip about nitrate film might have been from Australia.
- Hateful 8, Daisy sings Jim Jones At Botany Bay.
- Once Upon A Time In Holliwood... casting Margot Robie, I guess.
I don't know about Reservoir Dogs or Jackie Brown, though.
24:39 he slammed his hand down on the table and smashed a glass.... in real life... he played through the scene like it was part of it.... such phenomenal acting!
If you're checking out missed Tarantino movies, don't miss Jackie Brown. It's excellent and everyone misses it.
And natural born killers...
Sure it's a Oliver Stone movie but technically also a tarantino movie because he wrote it...
@@GarmrsBarking gonna add True Romance to that too
Agreed. Jackie Brown is so under appreciated when speaking of Tarantino's filmography.
@@GarmrsBarking Tarantino has basically disowned that movie.
@@JasonZakrajsek I know ... but he wrote it whether he likes the result or not ...
I’m sure someone mentioned it somewhere but Leo actually cut his hand when he slammed it down on the table, and he just kept on acting. When the scene was over the entire cast and directing team gave him a standing ovation❤️ amazing acting
Django unchained is a homage to the good old Italo Westerns, which were known for their very hard, brutal style and for the rider who takes revenge at the end.
Franco Nero, who is allowed to play in this film, was the original Django. Emigrants from German-speaking countries actually had mostly no slaves, for them hard work was part of life, the majority of them served in the Union army in the Civil War, among other things, for the south fought far fewer and many of them not really voluntarily.
Unfortunately, there were also a few slave traders , but that wasn't the bulk.
Tarantino is a fan of the German
Karl May films and Dr. King Schultz was influenced by them.
They're not called 'spaghetti westerns' for nothing :D
Samuel Jackson was the narrator in Inglorious Bastards. Quintin loves making movies w/ his group of friends. Watching his movies you’ll see the same people over and over again. Leo hurt his hand when he shattered the skull in the table. He really cut open his hand filming the scene & everyone was terrified. He kept filming regardless. Such an amazing scene in an amazing movie with an outstanding cast.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Quentin Tarantino is a lunatic. But, its undeniable that he's one of the greatest directors in the history of Hollywood cinema, perhaps in the top 10. Great reaction! 👍🏿
He’s a director who truly loves cinema and puts his heart and soul into his profession, the result being extremely personal and lovable films that just have so much character to them.
The unexpected raid scene with the "bags" was so hilariously satisfying that it had almost most of us in tears of laughter in theatres lmao.
Tarantino often uses one actor to play several roles. It’s a technique that directors used to do a lot in the old days to save on costs.
That was indeed a real horse that fell. One that had been trained to remain calm during it, with trainers and crew members making sure it is as safe for the horse to fall over as it would be for a human to fall over.
Y’all rock! Sam Jackson’s character wasn’t faking. There’s an old saying about “dying on your feet,” that’s why he tossed the cane. Look closely and he still hobbled toward Django.
12:08
The neck-hooks were used on those who were considered "flight risks", for want of a better term,
to make running through woods and dense undergrowth impossible.
Some of them also had jingle bells on the prongs so that the wearer couldn't stop making noise.
I find instruments of cruelty rather fascinating;
they're often much more creative and varied than our more benevolent inventions...
9:00 or so, the theater audience wasn't expecting this. The laughter was kinda nervous at first, and then it just got louder and louder as the scene went on.
Monty Python level comedy, in such a serious film.
13:09 yes that's James Remar ..again
Quentin probably just thought he didn't get enough screen time earlier.
Or he played a twin. Probably what Tarantino would say.
Imo it's more like Mel Brooks "Blazing Saddles" when they're gathering the worst people in the west to make up the gang to raid Rock Ridge.
Even better comparison, 😉👍was just the first funny thing I thought of.
Maybe in "Life of Brian" when they're questioning what have the 'Bloody Romans ever done for us..' and random people in the room keep piping in. And in "Django" with those hoods on you can't tell who's speaking. Really funny though.
I thought it was Python humor with some Mel Brooks humor.
The Producers=Inglorious Basterds
Blazing Saddles=Django Unchained
My thinking about this scene is that when they wear the hoods normally, their greatest weapon is fear. By making them the comic relief and the hoods something to be laughed at, their power was taken away.
Considering Waltz won both Oscars for acting in Tarantino's films, DJANGO was the more surprising (but then again, his Doctor character here is hysterical)
Beggining of the movie:
Q.T.: Blows horse brains out with lot of blood.
End of the movie:
Q.T.: "No horses were harmed in the making of this movie."
Simone: 😁
Hilde didn't JUST faint from seeing Django - but from heat exhaustion, & dehydration, as well as the shock of the water she was drinking, to her system. Also the relief she felt seeing Django dressed well, like a white man, & armed. It was All a shock to her senses...anyone who's ever experienced heat exhaustion & dehydration, knows what that feels like, & how sick it can make you feel.
Seeing it again, Tarantino definitely got some inspiration from Blazing Saddles for this one. And that little cameo by Franco Nero seems to escape everybody. He was the original Jango and they used the intro song from his movie for this one.
I found your channel about 2 weeks ago, subbed after the first watch... And you guys have quickly become one of my go-to channels. So less "performative" than others, you guys seem really genuine - makes my day!
Christolph Waltz is an absolute treasure. Can be terrifying, can be some of the best comedic reflief out there.
It wasn't a weird thing about Waltz's character being German. It's documented that Immigrant Germans were against slavery in the US from early to mid 1800s. I would assume that's why he wrote him that way. (Yes, I know they were referring to his role in inglorious basterds to this...calm down.)
If you didn't catch it Django said Auf Wiedersehen to Schultz's corpse, if you remember Schultz said to Mr Candy that Auf Wiedersehen means "see you again" and so he will just say goodbye instead to him instead.
Ooh so good. Sam Jackson plays just such a nasty jerk, and gotta love evil Leo. More Tarantino films is doing all of us a great service.
No, Hateful 8 was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen
The opening scene/credits were shot in the Alabama Hills, on rte 395 in the Eastern Sierra/California. The hills have long been a favored location site for Hollywood since the 1910s. In the town of Lone Pine, which fronts the hills, there’s a wonderful museum of film and TV history for shows shot in the Alabama Hills. QT has donated the tooth carriage, as well as many pieces of memorabilia from the movie. For anyone who’s a film fan or buff, I strongly recommend a visit! It’s western-heavy, but episodes of STDS9, Tremors, Ironman, and many other shows were shot there.
Fun Fact:::The blood on Leonardo DiCaprio hand was real that's when he slammed his hand on the table and he really cut his hand open that tells you what type of amazing actor he is to stay in character he was improvising
Better fact: yes he really cut his hand, but they cut after noticing and patched him up. But Tarantino liked it and added fake blood to keep the scene going
I love that Django learned more from King than how to shoot. He learned to read letters, to read people, and how to use a silver tongue. Beautiful.
I still remember the day when me and my friend went to watch this on the cinema, when Django said he would pick his own clothes, my friend said “He’s gonna dress up like a pimp” the row behind us giggled, and when the reveal happened, everyone was laughing their asses off, it was glorious

24:30 - Leo actually cut his hand when he slammed it on the table. The blood in this scene is real. He stayed in character and they kept filming. It ended up in the final version of the film. A testament to the type of actor he is and commitment he has to a role.
1:20 Samuel L. Jackson is in "Inglorius Bastards" as the narrator.
He isnt in Reservoir Dogs, all tho he auditioned for it, meeting Tarantino for the first time. Obviosly did not get the part, but ultimately Tarantino wrote Pulp Fiction for him a few month later.

32:26 The woman in the red scarf is stuntwoman Zoe Bell. She used to be stuntwoman for Lucy Lawless in "Xena", and she's been in a few Tarantino movies. She gets her best time in front of the camera in Tarantino's "Death Proof"...one of two films made as a back-to-back movie special called "Grindhouse". Tarantino teamed up with Robert Rodriguez to release two back-to-back films across movie theaters, complete with fake trailers to other movies. It was kind of an over-the-top salute to some classic movie-making. My wife and I attended "Grindhouse", knowing we were getting 2 different movies for the price of one. It did not disappoint.
Di Caprio's hand cut was real, it was not planned, he hit the table and there was just a glass and he cut himself with the glass of it.
It's implied, through Hilde's last name, that Django Unchained is a stealth prequel to 1970's blaxpoitation classic Shaft, and Samuel L. Jackson played Shaft (and Shaft's nephew) in the 2000 reboot/sequel Shaft (as well as reprising his role in the 2019 reboot/sequel).
Also, the oddly accented man in the... underground boxing match was played by Franco Nero, who originated the original character of Django in the classic Spaghetti Western Django in 1966. He only reprised the role for one of the many (official and unofficial) sequels, in Django Strikes Again! in 1987.
(He was also in Die Hard 2, as General Esperanza).
Leo cut his hand on that glass when he yelled and slammed his hand on the table. Got 8 stitches
“It’s funny he’s still playing a German.”
I mean, he IS a German.
Imagine being in a Move with Jamie Fox, Tarantino, Sam Jackson and DeCaprio as some Austrian Actor and you outshine all of them, Christoph is just a gifted actor, i m so impressed.
Fun fact Leonardo Actually cut his hand open when he slammed it on the glass he wasn't actually faking it nor was it fake blood that he wiped on Hilda. Also great reaction!
Dude we know
Everyone keeps repeating this but I really REALLY hope they did cut the scene before he wipes blood on Kerry Washington to at least ask her first because I would be so upset and angry if a co-worker smeared his actual blood on me. That's a health concern man.
This is partially incorrect. Yes, he did cut his hand, but he did not smear real blood on her face. That would've been a major health and safety violation, which is illegal and would never in a million years be allowed. They replaced the blood with fake blood for that take.
@@ItsLexy It seems it was completely unscripted he wasn't even suppose to grab her face let alone with his bloody hand.

Such a masterpiece of a movie, like most of his movies. And Christoph waltz is the GOAT!!
Christoph Waltz only agreed to be in another one of Tarantino's movies if he played the good guy, after his infamous role as a Nazi in Inglorious Basterds .
Yeah this was 1 of his more better movies
In the scene where they meet Candy the actor that played Django in the 1966 Italian film is the other guy on the sofa. Franco Nero. Nice nod to the original film by Tarantino.
Leo actually cut his hand on the glass in that scene where his hand started bleeding, but he just kept on acting and they kept it in the movie.
Dr king Schultz is one of the best characters in movie history
Just in case it hasnt already been said by someone else; Leo actually injured his hand slamming the table and breaking a glass but kept the scene going regardless! Turned out super well honestly
34:29 - Absolutely the funniest part of the movie. I love your laughter. It reminds me of just how many funny scenes there were in this movie.
Gotta say, movie was fantastic, acting was fenomenal: we empathized with Django, felt ofended as Schultz, hatted Candy, fell in love with Broomhilda and wanted to kill Steven, all of them were just perfect!
I don't know if you know but the song "Ancora qui" is performed by the italian singer Elisa, who has been like one of the top 5 female singers here in Italy for the last 20 years and still is ☺️

Ever sense Quentin Tarantino said all his movies are in the same universe I've loved them more because that means there are possibly vampires in the movies without us really knowing. If that makes sense?
Not really, From dusk till' dawn is a Robert Rodriguez's film
@@agusbancala4357 directed yes. But the story was written by Quentin Tarantino
Christoph Waltz is a highly respected actor in his native Austria. He won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for this film, as well as Inglourious Basterds. He also plays the villainous Blofeld in two James Bond movies, Spectre and No Time To Die.
@x So you're saying Hans Landa and Dr. King Schultz are the same character?
What colour is the sky on the planet you're from?
One of the more interesting things about this movie is that while Christoph Waltz is certainly a likable character, he ultimately isn't quite as good a guy as he presents himself. The second half of the movie is largely about respectability politics, and/or the hard-earned ability to grin and take it. As a slave, Django has already endured any number of cruelties and every kind of racist discrimination humans can think up, so keeping his cool in the environment of Candyland is no problem for him. Schultz thinks of himself as enlightened, and he's certainly not a bigot like the slave owners, but he has the thin skin of somebody who hasn't had to endure what Django has lived through, and thus he can't swallow his pride long enough to shake Calvin's hand so that he and Django can escape peacefully with Broomhilda (which would let Calvin off scot-free, but would be safer for all three of them).
Schultz has a mirror in the form of Stephen. Stephen is a man who has accepted to the point of furthering his oppressor's goals and power. He hates Django because Django has endured but not broken. Both Stephen and Django are acting out of self-preservation, but Stephen has had to sell his soul and his people out in order to do it. In the end, Django proves that he's better than both of them. He is freed twice in the movie: once by Dr. Schultz's hand, but the second and more important time, by his own.
Being thin skinned has nothing to do with being either a good or a bad guy. I also disagree that it was pride. It was not pride, it was indignation. Which makes him a better guy than he presents himself... to a fault, unfortunately.
@@Dacre1000 I mean, it was indignation, but the source of it was pride. In the grand scheme of things, it's not like it somehow means anything to give Calvin the handshake he wanted. It would have gotten everyone out safely, and they still could've found a way to blow up Candyland. It's not to say that he should want to shake the guy's hand, of course. But it was an obvious goad from Calvin, and Dr. Schultz took the bait.
I admit this is less of a moral failing, so "good" vs "bad" was probably the wrong way to put it. It's a character flaw. But it is a shortcoming.
@@tylerfoster6267 Yeah, the handshake was a symbolic acknowledgement that Candie outsmarted Schultz and only let Broomhilda free because he is really a businessman at heart who cares about money, not because he is cruel or immoral. We, the audience, and Schultz know that this is blatantly untrue, that Candie is not smart enough to discover the plan (Stephen was), and that he's selling Broomhilda only to fake magnanimity and humiliate Schultz (flashbacks to the slave being eaten alive).
It also destroys Shultz's internal narrative as the savior, when he described the myth of Brynhild to Django. In the end, he chose to make a "noble" sacrifice to kill Candie and make him the hero of his own story rather than caring about the lives of Django and Broomhilda. It's indicative of Shultz's true character.
@@SnailHatanyeah but he choose to kill Calvin even though it meant his friend and wife might die. It represents white people who hate racist white people so much that hurting them becomes the goal more than helping the oppressed.
@@tylerfoster6267 wow...that's really a great breakdown.
@ 1:23 Sam narrated in Inglourious Basterds, and he was the Pianist at Kiddo's wedding in Kill Bill.
24:32, Leo did smash that glass when he slammed his fist on the table which caused him to bleed
To add to this, his grabbing the actress and rubbing blood on her face was unscripted, the horror on her face is real.
which was an accident and he really bled and not scripted/fake blood
@@fuzzylongcat that’s not entirely true, as rubbing your blood on another person without their consent is a huge no-no and would never fly on any film set. They’d get shut down in a millisecond for the health code violations alone and the actor could get charged with assault. What really happened was this: The cut in the wide shot was real. The blood in the wide shot was real. However, the blood in the closeup and smear was not, as it was not shot at the same time, but later after Leo’s wound had been tended too, and with another camera setup. QT loved the take with the blood and so it was incorporated into the next setup and the rest of the scene. But yes, the smear was indeed an improv, but at that point the blood was fake.

The actor that plays Butch at 13:08 is the same who plays the character from the beginning of the film. It was common in spaghetti westerns for actors to play more than one character. Tarantino also shows up twice, once as a baghead member and then later as the Australian.
In the scene with Tarantino, The guy who hands Django the gun, "Don't drop the Fkn thing, Just had the sights fixed and they are perfect", Is Australian, John Jarratt, an ex TV presenter on Australian TV who turned to films, acting and directing. He was the main antagonist in the Wolf Creek films / series, as the Serial Killer, Mick Taylor.

I just watched this movie today for the first time so I could watch your reaction, because you both show me things I never see. I keep reaching the conclusion that I have no sense of humor, because I never see the jokes as they are happening,. That happens with just about every movie, not just this one. Listening to you both laugh as you watch always cheers me up. I guess Quentin Tarantino meant for all of us to laugh at times during this movie, and if it were not for both of you, I would never know that he put jokes in there at all. Thanks again.
everybody loves Schultz, you can argue that he's not actually a very good man when you really think about but he's so very charming with it that you sort of forgive him.
He may not be a very good person, but IIRC he holds the distinction of being the only person in this movie to actually say that slavery is bad.
@@dougallen9689 oh sure compared to every other character in the movie he looks like saint. he is very well written.
The woman in red scarf is Zoe Bell, who was originally Uma Thurman's stunt double in Kill Bill, got a role in Tarantino's Death Proof and she was also in The Hateful Eight and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
That Schultz line when he kills Candie of, "I couldn't resist", *I Think* was intended to be Tarantino's direct line to critics/audience saying that his movies are too violent. Because, when Django came out, of course, all hell broke loose because of the writer/director being white, knowing damn well what kind of movie he usually makes and the action that's in it. Well, whatever...you know this movie was great when Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan came out in defense of this movie against Spike Lee trying to cancel it & Tarantino, lol.
This movie is so intense. I was exhausted and out of breath once it was done, but my God it was amazing!
Yes it was. I loved it! About to watch it now til it's watching me. 👀 😴
DiCaprio actually cut hos hand when the glass broke as he slammed on the table.
The whistling music at the end was theme to "They Call Me Trinity"
One of the very best from Tarantino
You should check out the original Django movie from 1966, a very revolutionary western for it's time, and an all-time classic.
You are definitely right James Remar played two characters in this movie. James is most famous for the cult classic “The Warriors”(1979) as “Ajax”. One of my favorite movies of all time. My friends and I got to see it as teenagers when it came out!!! Cheesy but highly recommend🔥🔥🔥
I'm sure I'm repeating th I s, but when Leonardo DiCaprio's hand started bleeding, it was because he accidentally broke a glass when he slammed his hand on the table, but due the depth of his immersion in the moment, he fi ished the scene with a bleeding hand. The take was so on point, they kept it, and wrote in the injury for later scenes.
24:31 - He cut his hand the moment he slammed it on the table, accidentally breaking one of the glasses; I guess he misjudged or didn't see it. He really did that, and he really bled for the rest of that scene/take.
By far my favourite Tarantino movie, great performances from everyone involved but especially DiCaprio, I cant think of many characters Ive genuinely DETESTED more than Calvin Candie (and whilst a large part of thats down to Tarantinos writting and direction the lions share of the credit goes to Leo who is just incedible here! He's righ up there withe the likes of Geoffry in GoT for characters I want dead more than any other I can think of! Probably more so given this one is more grounded in real history and humanity at its absolute lowest :(
i can think of lower
If Dolores Umbridge was living in that time and place, she would work for Calvin Candy.
Candie was so-detestable and racist that even DiCaprio himself was uncomfortable with the role
Not sure if you'll see this, but at 12:08, those "masks" (I don't remember what they're called) were real slavery accessories. Their purpose was to make it hard to impossible for slaves to effectively escape. They were designed such that they would easily snag onto plants and trees, either ensnaring the slave, trapping them, or straight up break their neck if they ran fast and hard enough into something.
If you want Tarantino's best "foot" scene, look no further than From Dusk til Dawn with Salma Hayek.
All the violence and gore in that movie doesn't phase me, but that scene...🤢🤮
@@DementedDistraction, hahahah very understandable. However, I don't have a foot fetish myself but if the goddess that is Salma Hayek wanted to stick her foot in my mouth, I'd happily oblige.
@@DementedDistraction lol don't get me wrong Salma Hayek is gorgeous, but you couldn't pay me to drink beer off her feet
The woman with the red bandana on her face is Zoe Bell. She is a professional stunt woman and was Uma Thurman's stunt double in the Kill Bill movies. She is also in Death Proof and has a minor role in Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight".
It is a testament to how big Will Smiths ego is that he got the part for Django and then had the cheek to tell Tarantino (the greatest writer/director of his generation) that he would only do the movie if he changed the theme of the movie from a revenge movie to a romance movie. Perhaps he was trying to impress his wife who's name i will keep out of my mouth.
Oh man am I glad that Smith fucked this up. I can't see him doing this as well as Foxx
"Fun" fact : The actor portraying the Italian slave owner in the mandingo fight scene is Franco Nero who played the "original" Django in the Spaghetti western films
Quentin's Aussie accent was passable. Unless you're an Aussie.
I think if he had to do a monologue it's limitations would become apparent but he kept it short and sweet.
I was hoping John Jarrett would have a bigger part as he's a brilliant actor.
Check out Wolf Creek for a sample of what he can do
Tarantino also plays the Hooded guy who’s like “ no fingers pointed, they could have been done better. “
When Leonardo DiCaprio’s hand gets bloody it’s because he slammed his hand down on the table and broke a glass that really happened and they kept the shot rolling an amazing performance
