Now, I axed you a question. Who's that nigga ON THAT NAAAAAG?

Chill dat house nigga out

NHH

make character that upstages everyone

have to kill him off in stupid anticlimactic way becasue he's too awesome to live

Django Unchained should have been Quentin's best film but he had to sabotage it in so many different ways.

BIG

He's a house nigger and he dies like a bitch just like his white masters. You don't need to love him, niggerlover-kun

That title is still held by inglorious Basterds

Seeing this scene in theatre was kino af

why do some americans say "ax" instead of "ask"
its not a black thing either ive seen other races do it too

It’s literally just a black thing

i just realized the reason i dont really like django is that the "villains" are way more interesting than the main characters

Tarantino comes off like he really, REALLY wishes he was born black.

It’s 100% a black thing

the "villains" are way more interesting than the main characters

This goes for literally every piece of media ever

The guy I personally knows who does this is native american, aka genetically about as far removed as african as possible

grampa nigga on the estate has seen everything, from bitches getting whipped into sex slavery for fat Leo, to niggas getting shot for drunk fun. He thinks that is a natural way of things or his life doesn't mean anything.

Literally every main supporting character in this film is better than the protagonist. Django Unchained would be a classic if it wasn't for Django

Its a black male thing alriiiiiii

funny it was the same thing for law abiding citizen
i wonder what the correlation is

The protagonist of a classic hero story is supposed to be something of a blank slate so that they are more relatable to the audience.

I will never forgive Fox for Law Abiding citizen or the idiot executives that caved into his demands

That's just some stupid shit tasteless, data driven suits say then they cast the Rock in his 15th generic action slop of the year. Doesn't accurately reflect reality or what makes a good movie

i dont know why it was so important to get fox they already had leonidas

it's writing 101 dude. I'm not saying you can't have a unique main character, but the "hero's journey" in particular benefits from someone the audience can easily relate to. Frodo and Luke Skywalker don't have detailed political ideologies, they don't find fulfillment through art, they aren't countercultural firebrands or fashionistas. They're just Good Guys who want to Do Good, Help People and Defeat Evil. Django is a slight modification where he's framed as a badass instead of a straight up good guy, but it's still a basic concept that many people can envision within themselves.

So who's your primary protagonist? Schultz? A movie about a quiet German wandering around the deep south who has two or three lines of dialogue without context?

I really didn't like this movie, I think it was because of Fox
The nigga is just unlikable as fuck acting as badass

It's a classic story structure, not a blueprint to increase audience approval rates or make better films. If Django's story was relegated to a Mcguffin to simply move the plot along so we could see the more interesting characters have their story play out, it would have been a better film. Instead we got every interesting character dying in service to Django's story playing out, and we were left with a completely flat climax that barely warrants rewatching.
There's obviously more to this than Django being structured as a hero's journey because I actually wanted to see Frodo's story to the end and felt some attachment to him by the end of the trilogy. The same can't be said for Django

Django's presence isn't the problem. His role as protagonist is the problem

Who would you have gone with?

...so he should've been the antagonist? The lead should have been Calvin and/or Stephen?

i cant relate to a fucking nigger

antagonist

Obviously not, Candy is the antagonist and he's a good one. Waltz should have been the protagonist. Django would have been fine as a supporting acting. Waltz sympathy for him and his still enslaved wife remains to move the story forward.

Why did they reveal right before he died that he wasn't as much a cripple as he was pretending to be? I thought it meant he was gonna be some formidable final fight housenigga, defending his housenigga ways, but no he just dies like a bitch.

What? Did you want him to start kung fu fighting like Ip Man or something?

Master Windu, are you feeling alright?

You didn’t? I thought Quintin was kino

So what you're saying is you disagree with the final act? Because otherwise the two characters share lead duties, with Schultz having more dialogue.
If you remove, or rather, relegate Django to being a plot device (like Broomhilda) then there's really no tension or drama for a good chunk of the movie, so you'd have to rewrite large portions of both Schultz' and Candie's characters, and at that point you may as well just write a different movie.

So what you're saying is you disagree with the final act?

Basically. The first 3/4ths of the film is good. Everything after Waltz kills Candy and Waltz dies is a snoozefest

If you remove, or rather, relegate Django to being a plot device (like Broomhilda) then there's really no tension or drama for a good chunk of the movie

Except that's essentially what Django already is for most of the film, because he's certainly not an interesting protagonist

spbp

This is actually probably Sam's best performance
