- Had to blur some graphic scenes as RUclips age rated Pulp Fiction, so just wanted to be on the safe side!
When Django, a slave, is freed, he joins forces with a bounty hunter to rescue his wife, who has been enslaved by Calvin, a hard-hearted plantation owner.

Django is finally here!! Just a heads up some scenes and certain words have been removed (pls don’t age restrict this one RUclips) 😅
Nice. I really appreciate how you;ve sped up the rate of putting out videos. If you like the gritty crime dramas Tarantino puts out, have you considered reacting to full TV series about antihero protagonists, like the Sopranos or Breaking Bad?
By the way, I asked this before, but for your next Q&A, what movies and media did you grow up with living in southeast Britain? I'm interested in knowing how something like this built the tastes you have today.
12 years a slave. Next
D: the D is silent! Awesome reaction :D pls youtube gods, be nice 🙏
Great movie, another great one is Inglorious Basterds
Hey alyaka, if you want a western with not so much graphic violence and more drama I highly recommend Unforgiven and Young Guns,!!
When he says, "Stop talking to him like that," he means talking to him like an equal. He could not take a slave being treated equally, even in conversation.
I never thought about it like that. I always thought he was just dumb and really thought he wasn't speaking English.
@@jarardx2312 I don't think so. He could clearly understand quite a bit of Schultz's language
People don’t like to talk to us black people regular because most of the world view us as non humans
@@jarardx2312Nah he definitely understood.
was that not obvious?
Fun fact: The older guy asking Django about how to spell his name at Calvin's bar is italian actor Franco Nero, who played the original Django in the 70s
Wait, _original_ Django? So this was based on another work/character?
@@brentage5000 Yes, an Italian movie from 1966, but with a quite different story.
@@brentage5000 The intro song is from the original film. Still think the original has one of the greatest title sequences of all time
@@brentage5000 There was several Django films in the late 60's.. This is another storyline though.
@@brentage5000 same as Scarface and Tony Montana, there was an "original" scarface in the 30's and the protagonist was "Tony Camonte", different script and stuff, but same idea, but yeah the Al Pacino's one is a "remake", but got the fame
Since you are wondering what the point of some of the drama was, a lot of the conflict here is born from pure cruelty and ego. It's arguable that Candy wouldn't give up a slave as useful as Hilde just because another black man was married to her, and the drama at the dinner table was just Candy wanting to "beat" Schultz and Django. Then, the hand shake was all about ego. He saw Schultz hated him and didn't want to shake his hand, so he wanted one more "win" over Schultz by forcing him to shake hands.
You are on point about Candy's ego but he was more mad that he was being played a fool by Schultz and Django than their intentions of running off with Hildy.
First law of power, never outshine the master. That includes makingna fool of him. And here is a proud southern man with a god complex over slaves and men. Regard him as anything less and there'll be hell to pay as shown by Leo's wonderful performance.
One of my favorite films. Fun fact, When Leonardo dicaprio smash his hand on the table and broke the glass, he actually cut his hand. blood was all over it. Tarantino noticed but Leonardo never broke character. That some dedication there.
Having the presence of mind to take it so far that he smears her face in his blood is some really great character understanding in the moment also. It exemplifies how Candy sees his slaves and how well Leonardo DiCaprio can improvise. It's just an amazing scene
Yes Leo did cut his hand open and it did bleed. When they cut to clean Leo up he suggested the idea of wiping his blood on her face and both Tarantino and Washington liked the idea so they cleaned him up, bandaged him and added fake blood to smear on Kerry Washington's face.
@@habitsrabbit Ok, i had no idea about that actually. When i read about it when the movie came out i had understood it as being one long take. But i must have missread it or something then, mb.
Still, a great direction to take a "mistake" and improv of it to make a really powerfull scene
@@johantolli372 I've always heard that they cut at some point, patched up his hand, and added fake blood to the scene
@@johantolli372 The blood was fake, that was a later take.
If you notice at the very end Steven drops his cane and stands up straight because it was all an act. I love this film. Tarantino is so good at adding little things like that to his characters which gives them so much depth even when they aren’t the main characters of the story.
It wasnt an act you dolt. Hes accepted that hes going to die and doesnt want to die cowering or weak. Hes been under Candy's thumb his whole life and hes choosing to die on his own two feet, not with the cane thats metaphorically crippled him. Its symbolic, not literal. Jesus.
This movie won 2 Academy Awards. One for Christoph Waltz as Best Supporting Actor (Well deserved) and Best Original Screenplay for QT (his 2nd win with the 1st being Pulp Fiction in 1994)
The screenplay itself deserves the win with so many memorable lines and so many fun ideas for a Western like horses dancing and nodding. Really fun.
I also recommend watching Inglorious Basterds which QT describes as his masterpiece and i couldnt agree more.
35:04 bro the direction the lady goes flying gets me every time, I know one of the great things about Tarantino films is how unrealistic certain aspects are, but that knock back in that direction never ceases to be amazing
Apparently that is a nod to older westerns never having women die in view of the camera.
I always say, "Bye Ms. Laura" when something is funny to me😂
The reason he couldn't just offer a lot to begin with for Hildy is they never would have gotten through the door with "I wanna buy one of your slaves and give her freedom". Candy wouldn't care and they'd never get to a meeting with him. Pretending to be slavers and wanting a fighter got them in the door, then offering 12 grand got him to take them seriously. Then he said he'd be back in 5 days to pay. That's when he was trying to say in the meantime i'd like to buy hildy today. Then he was going to buy her freedom for a few hundred dollars, and never come back. But Steven fucked up the plans
She seemed a little confused as to Candies motivation for being such a hardass. Schultz had no intention of buying Eskimo Joe at all. They wanted to pay just for Hildy and leave while making it seem like they would return for The other slave after having his lawyer look over the contract of purchase. Others here have also mentioned that Candie was also an egotist who didn’t like the idea that Schultz had made him look bad so he wanted to do the same to him.
“The gore is brutal” - Alyce mate, you do know whose directing it don’t you 😂
Regarding why Calvin reacted to aggressive after finding out Schulz and Django's true agenda:
Up until that point Calvin has been portrayed as a sadistic prick with a massive ego and control issues.
The fact that they managed to trick him and lie to him must be a massive slap in the face.
Plus - and this we find out during his conversation with Steven - he isn't really in control. It takes Steven - who seems to be actually running things behind closed doors - to point out the ruse.
Which is why it is also so important to him to keep up the appearance of being the one in control. Thats all he has.
Plus he is a psycho 🙂.
After seeing this i highly recommend watching QTs other movie Inglorious Basterds, for no other reason than to see what a brilliant actor Christoph Waltz is. It is a faaaaar cry from his role as Dr. King Schultz
Agreed seeing the staggering contrast between his two Characters in Django versus Inglorious Bastards is like Night and Day, stellar performance on both and massive respect to Christoph Waltz for nailing both roles.
His character in Inglorious Basterds is a complete 180 from his character here. He nailed both performances regardless.
"Is this Steven guy a 🦜?"
"You're a 🐍!"
Steven is a most despicable character, and part of his facade as a doddering old servant is to be Candie's hype man. And by overreacting intentionally in public he lets Candie feel in control by 'reining him in', while showing his true face only in private where he is more intelligent and observant than Candie.
Nice detail, just before Django kills Candie's men at the end he drops the candle just before drawing, just like Schultz dropped his lantern before he killed Speck at the beginning
Inglourious Basterds is my favourite Tarantino film and the performances of Christophe Waltz and Melanie Laurent are absolutely superb
This was my first Tarantino movie, and I watched it at home when I was like 12, it blew my mind🤯🤯
The actor is Christoph Waltz and he does a great job in 'Inglorious Bastards' also a Tarantino flick with a lot of good actors. I think you'd enjoy it very much.
Fun fact: the actor who played Dr. Schultz AKA Christopher Walz won an Academy Award for best supporting actor
Edit: I recommend you watch Interstellar
Haven’t seen this myself so gonna watch with your patreon reaction when I get the chance! Liked and video left playing in background! Thanks for the content as always!
I love your channel and your game plays so much but I have mostly learned to be ok with the fact that your opinions on TV and movies are going to break my heart/brain haha. Even so, I'm glad you enjoyed this one!
Stephen is the real ultimate villain in this story. His preservation of his position of hierarchial power and the status quo matter to him more than any atrocities done at candy land
Not only did Dr. Schultz free the other enslaved men at the beginning, he also provided them with money. Specifically, they could take the money Schultz paid for Django once they killed the last Speck brother.
Love Leonardo’s performance in this
Favorite story is that Leo was feeling very apprehensive about using so many racial slurs and Sam Jackson actually told him he basically needed to go ALL IN for this character to be taken seriously and that if he didn’t he would never live it down
@@loneshinobi2682 actually both Jamie and Sam told him that
@@antoineporche-rideaux4841 oh was it Jamie too?? That’s awesome, appreciate the insight!
It’s crazy watching reactions to this movie and realizing people truly don’t understand the deepness of Slavery in America. It’s literally in the fabric. Good reaction
The bags scene is still one of the funniest scenes in cinema 😂
Coming from a heavy movie such as this nonetheless
Thanks for the content, Alyce!
The next Quentin Tarantino film you definitely need to experience is IMO his best:
*Inglorious Basterds*
Christoph Waltz (actor that plays Dr. Schulz in Django) is one of the antagonists of the movie, and he plays basically the opposite of who he plays as Schulz: a despicable, racist, Nazi SS officer who “hunts” Jews. And his performance is EVEN BETTER than in this movie.
I second this!
The Magnificent Seven and The Hateful Eight are also good western movies. Tombstone too but it’s a bit older.
Hateful 8 was one of the worst movies I’ve seen
@@nsasupporter7557 Ok
@@sebastianmorin9780 all Quentin Tarantino movies are boring as hell to be honest
@@nsasupporter7557 You really like to state your opinion like it’s factual huh, go pick an argument with someone else.
so, think about it: Django got his freedom from Dr. King.
Naturally Inglorious Basterds is next. And Christoph Waltz is in that also and he is probably his greatest performance.
Loving the videos. Thank you for making my day! 😊
I don't know if it is the best, but is by far my favorite
Of course DiCaprio is outstanding, but also the growth Django undergoes! The final action scene its so dpectacular
Aaaand, that "It's me baby" delivery is so iconic haha
I'll just have to go and rewatch it now :p
Amazing movie!! Just watched that on Friday with a friend who hadn't seen it before and he was Blown Away by it 👏❤️❤️
$12,000 in that time is about $430,000 in today's 💰💰
The Hateful Eight is really really good as well from Tarantino. I love the old style western type movies with the Tarantino spin.
Check out other Tarantino movies like Inglourious Basterds, and Hateful Eight.
Also Saving Private Ryan & Full Metal Jacket are great movies too
Django is straight up classic
It is one of his “better” movies. Quentin Tarantino’s movies are boring as hell for the most part
@Dahomey Slavers mental illness
Kill Bill 1 and 2 are still my favorite films of him
Inglorious Basterds next? :)
There’s another western movie I’m sure you’ll like it’s called The Harder They Fall you should react to it
Nominated for 5 Oscars including Best Picture but won for
Best Original Screenplay
Best Supporting Actor Christoph Waltz
Schultz didn't shoot anyone else after candy because he was unarmed and his trick pistol only holds one shot. And as he says to Django he just couldn't resist killing candy. Probably because of how candy treated the runaway slave
Personally my favorite Tarantino is The Hateful Eight but this is top 3 for sureee
Hateful 8 was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen literally
@@nsasupporter7557 bottom tier opinion
@@wholelifeahead Quentin Tarantino movies are BORING as hell, truth be told. Django was one of his more “better” ones because it wasn’t so godawfully boring like most of his other movies are
@@wholelifeahead facts hateful 8 was amazing
@@nsasupporter7557 What's wrong? Can't handle a movie that doesn't have a shootout or an explosion happening every 5 minutes? Nah Tarantino films aren't boring. You just don't know what great dialogue and all around filmmaking is.
9:30 “I hope he doesn’t do anything too rash.”
Django: 👹
The actor who played Big Daddy was played by Don Johnson who the was on the 80s show Miami vice his daughter is Dakota Johnson whose mom is actress Melanie Griffith and Dakota Johnson is dating Chris Smith Gwyneth paltrow's ex-husband from Coldplay
Great reaction! This and inglorious bastards are my favorite Tarantino films
Yes alyska they way black people we're depicted in this movie is how they were treated during slavery
Uh… even way after slavery too
Fun fact: The N-Word was said 110 times in this movie. That’s an average of 2 times per minute of the 2h 45m movie.
The crazy part is that Stephen (Sam L Jackson) is the real villain of the movie. Leo may be the face of Candieland, but Stephen is the brains.
They tell Schultz to stop talking to Django in that manner because it threatens their feeling of superiority. Throughout the opening sequence, we see how the slaves walk constantly, being portrayed as small, as the slaveowners tower above them. Yet Schultz stands eye to eye with them, and talks with them as equals. It depicts two different ideologies, and they're essentially trying to regain some kind of power.
It's that very reason that Schultz kills Candie rather than just shaking his hand because to do so would not only destroy any moral highground that he established, but accept that Candie's ideology, and therefore the horrible actions he commits, are equally valid to Schultz's own actions
This is a great comment!
@@FullMetalB Thank you
Django definitely got those blue clothes from Saint Denis, not Valentine.
I don think she realizes how much 12k was back then.... thatd be 150k+ in todays money. Their plan was to bait Calvin with the 12k and act like they were gonna buy a fighter...and promise to come back 5 days later with his lawyer and physician..... all the while offering about $300 to buy Hilde on the spot because he "liked" her. Calvin woulda said yea most likely from his happiness on the big deal being made...and they woulda bought Hilde and NEVER RETURNED. That was the whole point of the Mandingo ruse.
Great reactions to this very good Tarantino film, Alyce!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽When I saw the title for this reaction, I knew there were some scenes you would really find satisfying. Of course, there are some difficult graphic ones as well. If you liked Christoph Waltz as Dr. Schultz, you really need to see Tarantino's "Inglorious Basterds" (2009) which he also starred in.
@33:16, it's Zoe Bell. Tarantino's go to stunt woman for all of his films. Quentin has also gone out of his way to get her bit parts in a lot of his movies and not so bit parts in a couple of others. Zoe Bell kicks ass!
Cheers!
I don't know if you've seen it, but you should also react to Inglorious Basterds (also a Tarantino film).
Christoph Waltz, who played Dr. Schultz in this film, plays an SS Colonel in that movie and is completely unnerving and at times even terrifying. Completely different to the character he plays here.
33:16 That's Zoe Bell, australian stuntwoman, actress and MMA fighter. She was a stunt double for Uma Thurman in both Kill Bill movies.
She also has a much bigger role in Tarantino's "Death Proof" movie :)
YOU GOT SAND , sand means guts determination ,like true grit.
4:55 Because Django can identify some people he is looking for. He was previously at a plantation where they were.
Dr. Schultz and Mr. Candie were playing a game of chicken the entire time. Trying to see who can outsmart the other.
Best slave adaptation movie ever produced
Saving private ryan (tom hank) 🙏
I dunno whether this the best, but its definitely the most fun Tarantino movie IMO. The two villains definitely had fun chewing the scenery 🤪
Dr Schultz gun that he hides in his sleeve since its tiny only has one bullet thats why he sort of raises his hands after shooting Candy
In that final look of his, Django really looks like Alucard from Hellsing
At the beginning when Schwart was talking to Django respectfully, slaves weren't treated as ppl and they saw that Schwartz was talking to him like a regular person.
At the beginning of the movie when Dr Schultz and Django go to the bar, it is establish that tue Dr has two bullets in the his tiny gun compartment. The reason why the Dr doesn’t shake Calvin Candie’s hand is because he is the physical embodiment of everything he hates (and also all that “shake hand or no deal was sus) and the reason he doesn’t use his other bullet to save himself is because legally speaking Calvin Candie was an innocent man. The Dr would never be able to be a bounty hunter or a representative of the law ever again, that’s why he didn’t even tried :,(
It’s tough to watch, but the worst part is just about all of that is true to life. Unfortunately. It happened. And in some ways, way worse. 🤦🏾♂️. It’s take brave people like u watching and sharing this to help other learn some ugly truths. 😢
This is what I came to say. Everything else is over dramatized, but the treatment of enslaved black people was historically accurate
@@mcupidphillips it was far worse than depicted in this, but QT did a good job exposing a lot raw and uncut. Such a great director
Okay, a couple fun facts for this film. Some have already been pointed out by other commenters, but I'd like to consolidate them here with some of my own.
1. The Italian slaver who pitched against Candie in that Mandingo fight was actor Franco Nero, who played the original Django. Tarantino wanted the bar scene between Nero and Foxx to be a sort of "passing the torch" scene.
2. The scene when Broomhilda was being whipped wasn't entirely staged. Hilde's actress, Kerry Washington, insisted that she would be whipped for real so that she could convey the pain her slave ancestors would've endured. She wasn't struck with full force and she was being hit behind the tip of the whip to avoid scarring wounds as much as possible, but the pain was there.
3. Similar (kinda) to Washington, Leonardo DiCaprio also had to bear some pain for his role. In the dinner table scene, he accidentally wounds his hand on a bit of broken glass. But since he carried the scene so well, Tarantino kept it in. What was altered was the blood smeared on Hilde's face (they treated DiCaprio's hand and added stage blood to it between shots).
4. There's a recurring theme revolving around Dr. Shultz, constantly reminding us that he's still a dentist. This is implied not only in his denial of Candie's peace offering of white cake, but the fact that he has hunted and killed men that went by the names Brittle (as in peanut brittle) and Candie. Not to mention, giving the man the dentist despises the most a disgusting set of teeth wasn't a coincidence either.
5. Steven's quips and reactions to everything Calvin said over dinner wasn't originally scripted. In fact, Steven wasn't supposed to be there at all. However, Samuel Jackson (Steven's actor) pitched the idea to Tarantino for Steven to play as Candie's "hype man" to both throw in some comedy and further enforce the relationship between the two characters. Most of the dialogue spoken by Steven was mostly improv too.
6. Recall the legend of Broomhilda and Siegfried. Remember how Siegfried scaled the mountain, slew the dragon, and walked through hellfire to rescue the princess. Well, Django and Dr. Shultz scaled mountains over the winter to furnish up cash to buy Broomhilda. Django and Dr. Shultz then slew the dragons that overlooked Candieland (Shultz killed Candie, Django killed Steven). And lastly, Django crossed hellfire in the form of dynamite explosions to free Broomhilda (Django also passes a bonfire in the horseback sequence after being freed himself, and he even walks through a bit of fire after blowing up Candieland like it was nothing).
Anything Tarantino does is pure gold.
Candie's problem was that they put on a ruse to get there. He felt suckered... And then Doc screwed it all up at the end when they were home free...
As an American, a descendent of plantation owners, and a descendent of slave owners: this is the most important Tarantino movie
Absolutely one of his best. Tarantino is my all time favorite filmmaker.
“This place ain’t no such thing, As civilized, It’s man, so in love with greed, He has forgotten himself and found only appetites”
34:40 - If you ain’t going to be civilized about this!
A lot of things in this movie are supposed to horrify. It really justifies the absolute bloodbath at the end (not that it wasn't pretty much pre-justified to begin with). 👍✊
Really enjoyed this! Fun reaction! Inglourious Basterds is my favourite Tarantino film, hope you react to that at some point. For non-Tarantino films, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang would be a fun one to react to!
Part of the greatness of the movie is getting its audience to feel uncomfortable, because people were/are treated that way. It’s like forcing people to watch a pig be slaughtered right before they have pork chops
Having "sand" is a really old way of saying somebody is gritty, or tough. While it might otherwise be interpreted as a compliment, in that particular context he's basically saying that Django isnt as submissive or obedient as he wants. A pain in the ass to control.
I love how you follow up the western themed Bttf movie with this movie
"Run away, little chickens. That's what you get for being racist!"
That's gonna be a subscribe
Dr Shultz definitely had his flaws as charming as he was, meaning he was too proud which is definitely outlined in his and candy’s final scene. Django was also getting too proud but he got to realise this a bit earlier fortunately.
Love the new ink. Lighting a fire under my butt to get some more myself.
Inglourious Basterds (2009) is an even better Quentin Tarantino movie.
I love how everyone who reacts to Django always say the same thing.
"Is that Jonah Hill?"
To say someone's "got sand" means they have guts and an aggressive, confrontational attitude.
Love your reactions. Since everyone is pointing out things in this movie I want to contribute. It’s pretty cool how Schultz is playing the character of a dentist and the big baddie of the film is named Candi. 😅idk, I didn’t make this observation, I just read a comment and thought it was neat.
Oh, don;t worry. Theri descendent will be one excellent private detective. Truly, he will never cop out when danger's all about. ;)
'I don't like swearing. I'm going to cut out as much swearing as possible.' First F bomb in the video... Yours.
This is one of my fav Tarantino movies
2:05 He doesn't like that Dr. Schultz is talking to Django like a person. Slaves were considered to be property, not people.
You have the best reaction and commentary
omg omg omg... its happening
Watch Inglorious Basterds next Alyska! Christopher Waltz also plays a major role in that movie!!
I have to say that your taste in games and entertainment is top notch, keep up the reactions it’s good to view them from a new lense again
I just realized the actor that plays butch is the other speck brother
This is a great movie. The Hateful 8 is a great movie too. Other great western movies
Young Guns 1 and 2 and Tombstone.
This video makes me feel "unchained" ( note: di Caprio, Jamie Fox, C. Waltz, that's four Oscars)
Schultz's gun holds two shots. What was he going to do after shooting Candy? Hes not an over the top character, hes subtle. It doesnt make sense from him to die guns-a-blazin'.
For another great Christoph Waltz role, and great film, check out Alita Battle Angel
26:22 when Leonardo slammed his hand ont the table he really broke his hand that's why he's bleeding in the next scene! And it didn't faze him at all so he starts the scene with is hand bleeding!
funny how much fanfare Leo gets for a little cut on his hand. Ben Affleck broke his leg during the paint scene in Dazed and Confused. watch his ankle when he slams his paddle into the ground. snap! he also carried on with the scene.
