Will Smith always finds a way to shoehorn in something stupid like in Independence Day "I have to get me one of these," Suicide Squad " I'm going to need you to white people that thing if she doesn't have the grades", and more. Can't he just deliver the line minus the shuck and jive B S?
I reckon the Academy refrained from giving him an Oscar because they thought it'd look bad if the morally corrupt Candie won an award for a movie about redemption, and that strives to portray the suffering and empowerment of black people.
Yes. I think people were very uncomfortable and not thinking clearly about the voting that year, because of the historic subject matter a lot of people still cannot face. He was excellent and hateful it was Palpable
I feel the success of the Django character was that he was a strong, silent type who only spoke when absolutely necessary. Will Smith in this role would not have been a good fit because I'm sure he would have wanted rewrites to give him more dialogue and humorous quips. Casting was perfect. Jamie nailed it.
I disagree, although I do believe Jamie Foxx was a better fit, I also think Will Smith would have also been a good fit for the role. Will Smith can act very much like the Django you have described, some evidence is the movie 'I Am Legend'.
Spot on. Will Smith might had become subordinate Christoph Waltz (given the plot and the type of individual Will seems to be, not saying he's a bad actor) but Jamie Foxx with his outstanding performance did not dwell around in Christophś shadow - if any the contrary. The characteristics you mentioned made this possible where Django's reserved personality against Schultz's rather eccentric fell out brilliant.
I'm tired of Will Smith. He needed to make I Am Legend be his finality. Every movie and other moments in the spotlight have just been a fall from grace for Will Smith.
He would have had to overcome his poor performance in Wild Wild West. Django didn't impress me: it was like a stretched-out version of the horrible theater scene in Inqlorious Basterds. I think Jamie Foxx did well but Will Smith really did dodge the bullet.
Schultz's part in the movie was absolutely brilliant & was my favorite part about the whole thing. The way he helped Django throughout the movie & the way he almost looked up to him like a son was so heartwarming for me. I am so glad they wrote the character that way.
yeah few people know that germany was the leader of science and moral in that time up to ww2, people never take that into account and its also why so many was not too worried about the nazis pre war as germans were the good guys. and why it was so un fathomable what happened happened
Unfortunately, all of that makes his final act extremely uncharacteristic of the man we've come to know. Django is my favorite Tarantino movie but I absolutely despise how he did Schultz in the end. He cared so much for Django and yet, right when they are about to finally rescue his wife, Schultz ruins everything over his own pride and left his adopted son in an even worse position than he found him. Sure, WE knew Django would be okay because he's a badass and the main character, but Schultz didn't!
@CERTAIND00M True. That was a pretty stupid move. Then again, it had to happen so we would have one big final conflict in the movie. I'm fine with it. Best not to overthink it. It's just a movie. It also allowed us to have the awesome scene at the end where Django outsmarted the slavers who were transporting him.
Jamie Foxx is from my hometown in Terrell, Texas. He competed and worked professionally at rodeos. He holds some of the top rodeo titles and was inducted to the Texas Rodeo Hall of Fame in Ft. Worth.
@@waynehoffman456 Because of affirmative action no one knows if someone was actually good or not. Saying this guy was inducted into the Texas hall of fame means nothing if it could've been given to him based on his race. We don't know. Even if you go back and look at his scores maybe the judges were just being easy on him. You and I don't know and it makes his entry totally meaningless
If you need a character who tries to hide the fact that he is on the verge of tears by using comedy and/or anger and who also feels like all those around him dont share his moral compass, so therefore uses his coolness to surreptitiously enact it, then Will Smith is your man.
My uncle was a grip on the set of Django and said that Tarantino and DiCaprio had countless arguments about not wanting to say slurs as written and it ruined whole days of shooting. Samuel L Jackson pulling DiCaprio aside and telling him to stop being a b*tch and to just do the scene was honestly such a bro move toward Tarantino.
I mean....as a white dude around hundreds of colored people on a movie set, I'd be VERY uncomfortable saying those slurs let alone in a very angry and vindictive tone. What Samuel did is something that's 100% underrated, he had to do those lines properly or that movie would've flopped hard. This movie is my favorite by fuckin far, I can't wait till Tarantino makes another film, hopefully it'll be a sequel
@@Thunderalpacka223 "As a White guy surrounded by "Colored" people on a movie set" you'd feel "Nervous"? Referring to African Americans as "Colored" is your first issue. Are we still in 1890-1970?? Your point is valid, however, your messaging and references is an acquired taste.
You missed an important one: Django’s outfits changed throughout the movie progressively to end in him in a burgundy coat, where he famously told Samuel Jackson’s character “Steven, how you like me, man? You know for a while, I didn’t know Burgundy was my color…”. The significance of that line is that Django was never allowed to pick his clothes so he didn’t know what matched with his complexion.. but going deeper, he was never allowed to make his own decisions and take charge of his life, so he didn’t know his true purpose. All the changes in outfits are symbolic of his search for his true self/identity and purpose. So when he told Steven he didn’t know burgundy was his color while Steven is wearing a white shirt, it’s a snub at Steven who is a black man for not knowing his color isn’t white.
you missed the part where I said “all the changes in outfits are symbolic of his search for his true identity”. That part was clearly in reference to the time he was with Dr Schultz. In other words, once he was allowed to pick out his own clothes he went through a journey to find what best “suits” him. But before that he didn’t know because he didn’t have the freedom to do explore that. Hope that helps
What movie did u watch. Shultz gave him complete control of his clothes!?.. How did so many people like your dumbass comment. You cant change what u say in a second comment and act like thats what u meant all along. Either way it's a stupid comment
I believe this movie is definitely underrated. It had the perfect music for the mood, great acting, over the top violence and it gave slavery a middle finger. What's not to love about this film?! This movie is definitely on my top 3 list.
Where is a Tarantino movie which was well received by critics and viewers, had a big box office and is one of the most popular movies of its year underrated?
I was told by a friend of Zoe's the reason for all the cuts and delays and walk offs in shooting was Leonardo DiCaprio was slaying improv so hard that Tarantino just wouldn't stop extending those shooting days. It is what is is. No denying something special happened in the DiCaprio Tarantino chemistry.
I read the same thing. I remember watching the movie and knew something good was going to happen with that character but it never came. I'm sure it would have been an awesome addition to the movie
love how Tarantino constantly casts characters with cameos in homage to their historical film characters with the actors that are still alive. The nostalgia for film buffs is iconic. I would love to hear a compilation of interviews with those actors who probably thought those characters often in B movies were long gone and forgotten. 🤔
How can you not mention Stephens subterfuge the entire movie. At the end he drops his cane, stands strait, and WALKS without issue showing he never needed the cane. It was always to subvert Calvin's objections to his idea, and you see this a tiny bit when Stephen calls Calvin in the kitchen to tell him about the true scheme, he drops the accent. Brilliant character. Go rewatch with this in mind. And just know Calvin writes the checks but Stephen calls the shots.
Actually Calvin's name is on the check but Steven also signs the checks and more. When they arrive at Candy Land you see the check with Calvin Candie name but you see Steven hand signing it
Leo NEVER fails...... I can understand why he had a problem saying racial slurs because that's not his true character but Quentin pushed him to the point of giving literally a POWERHOUSE performance and this rings true about naturally cool actors/actresses: they usually play villainous roles the best because their true nature is far from the character themselves. I'm sure Leo took a much needed mental and spiritual rest after the filming was done. Overall, BRILLIANT masterpiece!
Ok, first off, the movie is amazing and everyone in it did an amazing job (apart from hitler, as a German he just looked to much like “joke” hitler to me). So having said that, I think you would be shocked what were to come out if the diddler doesn’t get taken out before his address book makes the rounds. Let’s not forget that he visited Epstein island and stuff and I think we have a pretty good idea how things went down there…so maybe let’s keep our comments to his acting in the movie and let’s maybe not speak on his “character” (or lack there off), agreed? Good.
@@solascriptura-e7t More like bull shit, does he know the pain of a real real whip? very laughable!. Plus can't find anything online about this fake fact.
As a masterful magician QT is I’m surprised he wanted Will to play Django. Will acts with a sort of goofy over confident humour that wouldn’t have worked. Jamie absolutely nailed the role, 10/10, unbeatable. And Kerry Washington - mind blowing performance. The entire cast put on the performance of a lifetime that had me in awe of the power of acting🤘
There are actual photos of cowboys, First Nation folks and various people in the Western United States wearing sunglasses before this movie is set to take place and on into that era. They were actually invented in the 12th century by the Chinese and existed, they just weren't readily available but they were here.
@@punklyrics1 That's not entirely true. Smoky quartz lenses were used from the 1200's but tinted glass lenses were first made in the 1700's. My grandfather was an optometrist and had some from the 1800's in his collection. They're dark, so they do improve acquity somewhat in bright light, but they only block UV light slightly better than plain glass. Tinted lenses which completely block UV were invented by Foster-Grant in 1929.
@@punklyrics1Since when are sunglasses defined by the material theyre made of and not the function they serve? Them being made of quartz doesnt change the fact that they are glasses made to block the sun……
I think Leonardo DiCaprio played the character really well in this movie, he played nasty really well, and he usually doesn't play nasty character. I think Leonardo DiCaprio deserved supporting actor Oscar for playing that character Calvin in this movie Django unchained.
Over the years, i read endless comments claiming Dicaprio is a racist. They only mentioned this role as "proof". It amazes me how its even possible for somebody to be that F'n stupid. I will never get it !
He played a bad guy very well in The Man in the Iron Mask, as well as a good guy. He played twins and each one had their own characteristics. It’s one my favorite films.
This movie did such a great job on everything it did. Some may say it was a little over the top, but you can’t be truly satisfied seeing justice done, until you first see the depths of evil that was done first.
I’m convinced that is Tarantino’s favorite line because of Leo’s performance and sacrifice in that scene (the sacrifice being, him being able to hold character even when he truly shattered glass into his own hand when smashing the table)
I enjoy learning these extra details about the movie. It’s hard to watch some of the brutal scenes of slavery, however it’s important to show how wrong it was as well. I consider Django the main character, if Schulz was truly the main character then the movie would have ended much sooner. The story is Django’s story, he’s the one who ultimately triumphs in the end.
I always felt like Schultz had his story already, off-screen. Wife is passed, has thousands of dollars in Slavery America with no plantation, his dorky little tooth wagon and his skill with guns and so much more.
I noticed that the very first time I saw it and was so confused.. Like didn't he get blown away already what the hell is this? Lmao My man resurrected with the mean mustache 😂😂😂
I worked as a set Grip on this movie, and I was sitting to Leo's left just out of the camera view when he did the scene at the dinner table. He just kept going, and his rage was real. We shot all of the interior Candy mansion shots on a sound stage in New Orleans.
@@dco1019 Set Grips are on the set while the cameras are working, while Rigging Grips are building new lighting and camera set ups before-hand and aren't necessarily on the active set. The Rigging Grips also install the green or blue screens for CGI shots.
I saw both Django and Inglorious btd on successive days on ott . I became a great fan of Christopher Waltz immediately His pronunciation is very good not to forget those probing eyes in Ing
I love this movie so much for the simple reason that I almost never actually want the bad guy(s) to die in a movie. I'm not sad when they do, but I really never *want* them to. This movie is an exception. I just wanted Django to kill them all so badly and got the satisfaction.
Great video, you forgot one: Dartagnan, the name of Candy’s slave shares a name with the father that betrayed him in The Man in the Iron Mask. So the killing was probably considered poetic in a twisted way
I love when Leonardo DiCaprio is screaming, and you can hear his voice crack, and you can hear like his real voice lol when he says “ what’s it gonna be doc!?”
Thank God Jamie Fox got this role instead of Will Smith. But to be far, Will Smith’s point about wanting it to be a story of love more primarily than of vengeance is actually kind of an interesting one. I suppose it would’ve made things kinda boring if it had a lovey ending where somehow Calvin Candy and Steven learned a lesson. It would’ve been corny, unless somehow a brilliant ending that made it not that way was written by Tarantino, and frankly I don’t think he’s really capable of that either. Tarantino is not the right kind of guy for that, he works better with hate and ego than he can love and understanding, it’s who he is, but he is truly great at it and j love watching his stuff (usually lol). I guess it’s why he got along so well with Harvey Weinstein lol. But he does a good job of showing the nature of morally cynical and corrupt narcisstic men, probably because he is one to a greater extent than most are, but at least he channels it into cinema in a great way.
I had no idea there was a Django Zorro movie in the works. This sounds so amazing! In any other studios hands I would be so scared of this but with Tarantino I’m so optimistic. I cannot wait!!!!
You can't just include Leo DiCaprio as just one of the other actors... he was huge reason why this movie is so great! Either way I appreciate the video
14:09 Fun fact - Germany was the first country (back then not actually a country yet, but several german kingdoms) in the world to abolish slavery and serfdom, as documented in the "Sachsenspiegel" (german code of law) in ~1220 AD.
That was extremely entertaining and very informative. Thanks. I could watch Django on a loop. It’s a fantastic movie and Tarantino is one of a kind. He’ll be missed.
I adore this movie, great film, character development, acting, casting, dialog, this movie doesn’t hold back anything and that’s why I like it! In fact now I want to rewatch it again.
Sunglasses have been around, in various forms, since prehistoric times; the sunglasses that reflected glare were first used in China during the 1100's. Mirrored frames have been around since the 1600's. Tinted lenses came in the 1700s. Sunglasses were worn by soldiers in the U.S. Civil War. The first UV sunglasses came in 1899. All before the 20th century. For a video on facts, you should have researched that one.
@@lazer2365 Django wore UV sunglasses, which, as I stated, were invented in 1899 however, the first UV sunglasses that every day people wore wasn't invented until 1913 and weren't widely available until the 1920s. But the commentator of the video said, "sunglasses weren't invented until the 20th Century" which is an untrue statement. What he should have said was, "The type of sunglasses Django (by way of Charles Bronson from 'White Buffalo') was wearing wasn't widely available until the 20th Century." That would have been a true statement.
5:10 I asked out loud why and I started pressing the back button and I saw the name of this channel was the Why 😂, good stuff Chicago Illinois salutes you
The scene towards the end where Django is riding horseback through the Candy plantation wrecking havoc was actually Foxx and not a double. The horse trainers said that they were scared Foxx was going to die because his horse was moving incredibly fast. Definitely my favorite practical shot in the film.
I was curled up in a ball laughing my ass off in that scene...yes, I'd seen the mention of Franco Nero in the opening credits, but actually seeing him in the scene (which I now refer to as "Dueling Djangos") could not have been a better gag, and only Tarantino would have thought to put that scene in. To me it was right up there with Sonny Chiba playing Hattori Hanzo in Kill Bill part 1...which is funny as hell to anyone who was a kid in the '80s who stumbled across a Japanese-language TV show where Sonny Chiba played a ninja named Hattori Hanzo. The gimmick of the show was that it started with him being the (possibly) historic Hanzo, but each season would be a slight time jump, with Chiba playing a descendant of the previous season's Hattori Hanzo...with the one the Bride getting her sword from being yet another descendant.
There was 46 years between the Django movies and Franco Niro looks like he aged 5 years, absolutely crazy genetics. He was 70 in Django Unchained and I wouldn't flinch if someone said he was like 48.
When was the last time Will made a good movie? Perhaps, The Pursuit of Happiness which was a decade ago & the reason he turns down Django shows his egoistic personality! Glad that Jamie Foxx nailed it.
Damn you give a lot of interesting information I didn't know and I appreciate you. To be honest, I cared more about the cast of actors and their scenes than I did for the overall movie. That's only logic for me because I love QT's writing and everything he has in his films that no other movie maker will touch. The violence and blood and gore. You have to accept the fact that the overall movie plot is not realistic which is the case in most films but the great actors and their talent make you forget that on most films.
@@pappar2669 anti heros don't do heroic things. They are characters that the audience is rooting for even though they're bad people. But I would say the Lamborghini scene was the nearest thing to heroic he did in the movie haha.
Enjoyed this video; definitely found out a lot of new info about one of my favorite movies of all time. I still think Leo should have been nominated for Best Supporting Actor or something or the like for his role because it was so different than anything he’s ever done.
Omg Sammy j is my all time fav actor. He’s is the definition of talent. Walter Goggins is a severely underrated actor imo. Dude goes total method and is truly one of the greats. Love Tarantino movies was hooked as a kid when I seen from dusk till dawn. Also started my live affair with the 68 cougar.
Another thing was 2 nods to Dukes of Hazard: Tom Wopat was in the film and there was a reference to Chickasah County, the neighboring county to Hazard County.
Kerry Washington super slept on as an actress. She was willing to take real time in the hot box and whippings for this role that’s essentially becoming a slave for hours just for understanding and entertainment.
Great video! I do have one correction though. Sunglasses have been around since the 12th century in China. They weren't made of glass, rather thin cut slabs of smoky quartz crystal.
You either love or hate Tarentino, but nobody can argue with the incredible level of depth and detail he pours into his stories and worlds, incredible movie making skills.
I’m glad Jamie Foxx played Django and not Will Smith. Jamie Foxx was incredible and had great synergy with Christoph Waltz, they were a dynamic duo
No hate to will but he over acts if u know what I mean
Idris and Micheal would've been great also
Cuz will smith slaps people
@@rogeliofelix13 bruh you smoking mothballs Jamie played it 💯
Will Smith would slap the shit outta homies.
Damn Tarantino really dodged a bullet by Will Smith turning down the role. Movie would not have been half has good with him as Django.
Will Smith always finds a way to shoehorn in something stupid like in Independence Day "I have to get me one of these," Suicide Squad " I'm going to need you to white people that thing if she doesn't have the grades", and more. Can't he just deliver the line minus the shuck and jive B S?

Let’s not forget that he visited Epstein island and stuff and I think we have a pretty good idea how things went down there…so maybe let’s keep our comments to his acting in the movie and let’s maybe not speak on his “character” (or lack there off), agreed? Good.
…and no, he didn’t need a break after filing this, if anything the movie was a break from his actual craziness….
Give a Oscar to Samuel L Jackson. His scream of Calvin deserve it
😂
Yeah that was disgusting .
LMFAO you are so right
Yea it’s him in real life that’s why
Yessssss
Samuel's character needed to die and forever burn in Hell. With Candie
Kerry Washington is underrated gold. Devastatingly beautiful, talented woman.
Kerry.
kerry washintong gave everything to her role! awesome commitment!
right! and she doesn't have that many lines but you feel her in every scene
Fact #24 was pure gold!
@@solascriptura-e7t More like bull shit, does he know the pain of a real real whip? very laughable!. Plus can't find anything online about this fake fact.
The story line is great, but the acting in this movie is just absolutely phenomenal.
Thank you Will Smith for not being in this movie.❤
Haha
As a masterful magician QT is I’m surprised he wanted Will to play Django. Will acts with a sort of goofy over confident humour that wouldn’t have worked. Jamie absolutely nailed the role, 10/10, unbeatable. And Kerry Washington - mind blowing performance. The entire cast put on the performance of a lifetime that had me in awe of the power of acting🤘
One of my favorite movies of all time. Thought provoking, disturbing and victorious in the end. A true masterpiece.
That Django talking to Django bar was insane .. Tarantino was in his bag
There are actual photos of cowboys, First Nation folks and various people in the Western United States wearing sunglasses before this movie is set to take place and on into that era. They were actually invented in the 12th century by the Chinese and existed, they just weren't readily available but they were here.
They werent sunglasses, they were smoked quartz. Sunglasses werent invented until 1929. Any other eyewear prior was just straight up quartz
@@punklyrics1 okay but they looked like sunglasses, so
@@ejvollkrassalter plantain looks like a banana.
@@punklyrics1 That's not entirely true. Smoky quartz lenses were used from the 1200's but tinted glass lenses were first made in the 1700's. My grandfather was an optometrist and had some from the 1800's in his collection. They're dark, so they do improve acquity somewhat in bright light, but they only block UV light slightly better than plain glass. Tinted lenses which completely block UV were invented by Foster-Grant in 1929.
@@punklyrics1Since when are sunglasses defined by the material theyre made of and not the function they serve? Them being made of quartz doesnt change the fact that they are glasses made to block the sun……
I think Leonardo DiCaprio played the character really well in this movie, he played nasty really well, and he usually doesn't play nasty character. I think Leonardo DiCaprio deserved supporting actor Oscar for playing that character Calvin in this movie Django unchained.
Over the years, i read endless comments claiming Dicaprio is a racist. They only mentioned this role as "proof". It amazes me how its even possible for somebody to be that F'n stupid. I will never get it !
Ann O Grady
You forgot about King Louis 1998.
Wolf of wall Street, he was robbed, he should have got Oscar for wolf of wall Street,
He played a bad guy very well in The Man in the Iron Mask, as well as a good guy. He played twins and each one had their own characteristics. It’s one my favorite films.
This movie did such a great job on everything it did. Some may say it was a little over the top, but you can’t be truly satisfied seeing justice done, until you first see the depths of evil that was done first.
I’m convinced that is Tarantino’s favorite line because of Leo’s performance and sacrifice in that scene (the sacrifice being, him being able to hold character even when he truly shattered glass into his own hand when smashing the table)
I enjoy learning these extra details about the movie. It’s hard to watch some of the brutal scenes of slavery, however it’s important to show how wrong it was as well. I consider Django the main character, if Schulz was truly the main character then the movie would have ended much sooner. The story is Django’s story, he’s the one who ultimately triumphs in the end.
I always felt like Schultz had his story already, off-screen. Wife is passed, has thousands of dollars in Slavery America with no plantation, his dorky little tooth wagon and his skill with guns and so much more.
*Django Is Unchained*
How was it brutal same types of thing happens till this day
It is called “D’Jango Unchained”, not “Schulz Unchains”.
@@rambojohnj.6117 exactly my point.
That's crazy I loved the turtle shell table top lines 2. He said it with such a unique fullness. Definately a level of asmr in it.
You know I've watched this movie at least a half dozen times and never once realized that James Remar played both those roles.... wow.
and Tom Salvini plays one of the trackers whose dogs killed that one slave.
I noticed that the very first time I saw it and was so confused.. Like didn't he get blown away already what the hell is this? Lmao My man resurrected with the mean mustache 😂😂😂
Which roles did he play? Was he Candie's bodyguard, the guy in the bowler hat?
Django Unchained is so great. Its one of my all time favourite films.
Movie is so in depth from the character development to the superb acting! The writing and profression of the script/story is truly brilliant!
I worked as a set Grip on this movie, and I was sitting to Leo's left just out of the camera view when he did the scene at the dinner table. He just kept going, and his rage was real. We shot all of the interior Candy mansion shots on a sound stage in New Orleans.
What's a set grip?
@@dco1019 Set Grips are on the set while the cameras are working, while Rigging Grips are building new lighting and camera set ups before-hand and aren't necessarily on the active set. The Rigging Grips also install the green or blue screens for CGI shots.
I just watched Django Unchained about 2 months ago. I’ve since watched it 4 more time. Excellent movie.
I saw both Django and Inglorious btd on successive days on ott . I became a great fan of Christopher Waltz immediately His pronunciation is very good not to forget those probing eyes in Ing
Let's be real Di caprio and foxx along with the rest of the cast just was perfect they really brought this movie to life!!
Leo made Candy as amazing as he was. That was 50% Writing and 50% DiCaprio putting on a flawless performance
one of the best movies of all time. Simply because they didnt hold anything back. They showed what real history was like.
I love this movie so much for the simple reason that I almost never actually want the bad guy(s) to die in a movie. I'm not sad when they do, but I really never *want* them to. This movie is an exception. I just wanted Django to kill them all so badly and got the satisfaction.
gritnix........ESPECISALLY, Samuels character.
you ever seen braveheart?
Steven and Django's beef had me laughing every damn time they were on screen. This movie will never be replicated.
Every actor in this masterpiece was at the top of their game, including QT. True artists creating priceless art. ♥️🔥♥️🔥♥️
I’m glad he says that the first Django-Stephen interaction is pure comedy, it is. I laughed so hard during that scene.
Great video, you forgot one: Dartagnan, the name of Candy’s slave shares a name with the father that betrayed him in The Man in the Iron Mask. So the killing was probably considered poetic in a twisted way
I love when Leonardo DiCaprio is screaming, and you can hear his voice crack, and you can hear like his real voice lol when he says “ what’s it gonna be doc!?”
Thank God Jamie Fox got this role instead of Will Smith. But to be far, Will Smith’s point about wanting it to be a story of love more primarily than of vengeance is actually kind of an interesting one. I suppose it would’ve made things kinda boring if it had a lovey ending where somehow Calvin Candy and Steven learned a lesson. It would’ve been corny, unless somehow a brilliant ending that made it not that way was written by Tarantino, and frankly I don’t think he’s really capable of that either. Tarantino is not the right kind of guy for that, he works better with hate and ego than he can love and understanding, it’s who he is, but he is truly great at it and j love watching his stuff (usually lol). I guess it’s why he got along so well with Harvey Weinstein lol. But he does a good job of showing the nature of morally cynical and corrupt narcisstic men, probably because he is one to a greater extent than most are, but at least he channels it into cinema in a great way.
Sometimes love is about getting vengeance.
I thought the movie was about love, friendship, respect and vengeance...it was perfert!!!
@@kelsontasha it was. People just wanted to disagree with Will somehow.
31: Kerry Washington learned German in order to accurately act the scene where Schultz and broomhilda speak in german
Wow
I'm so glad this is not a cklickbait. You really showed me a lot of more stuff and not the typical 3 things everyone knows. Very cool video
Everything about this movie was amazing on another level..... even the soundtrack.....again; on another level.
Nice. Thank you! Django is one of my favorite movies. I can't count how many time I've watched it and I enjoy like it's the first time, every time.
Kurt Russell yes, this is such a good movie! The actors were brilliant. The story line, splendid! Quentin thank you & well done.
I had no idea there was a Django Zorro movie in the works. This sounds so amazing! In any other studios hands I would be so scared of this but with Tarantino I’m so optimistic. I cannot wait!!!!
appearently its dead
@@edenjung9816 😢😢😢😢
You can't just include Leo DiCaprio as just one of the other actors... he was huge reason why this movie is so great! Either way I appreciate the video
14:09 Fun fact - Germany was the first country (back then not actually a country yet, but several german kingdoms) in the world to abolish slavery and serfdom, as documented in the "Sachsenspiegel" (german code of law) in ~1220 AD.
My absolute FAVORITE movie. That ending is just sooo incredibly badass!
1 of my all time favs. Awesome to learn bout the original django. That scene was fire
Videos like this reaffirm my belief that DJango was is one the best movies made. Plus that Future DJango talking to original DJango has me perplexed.
Yeah Leo definitely should won an Oscar here
Jamie Foxx and Johnny Depp for the Zorro Django film would be sick!
That was extremely entertaining and very informative. Thanks. I could watch Django on a loop. It’s a fantastic movie and Tarantino is one of a kind. He’ll be missed.
My favorite thing about this movie is that some of the violence might seem exaggerated, but the worst parts were completely period-correct
Slaves were very expensive ! They were NOT mistreated unless absolutely necessary !
I adore this movie, great film, character development, acting, casting, dialog, this movie doesn’t hold back anything and that’s why I like it! In fact now I want to rewatch it again.
Django Unchained, holds the record for the most usage of N-word in a movie.
At 110 times, or rather, an average Call of Duty match.
I originally didn’t want to see this movie, I’m so glad went to see it I fully enjoyed this movie
Leonardo DiCaprio should of received an Oscar for his role.
I agree
*Django Is Unchained*
Thx so much for this! One of my favorite movies ❤
I've watched this movie 5 times since it was release. Love it!
Sunglasses have been around, in various forms, since prehistoric times; the sunglasses that reflected glare were first used in China during the 1100's. Mirrored frames have been around since the 1600's. Tinted lenses came in the 1700s. Sunglasses were worn by soldiers in the U.S. Civil War. The first UV sunglasses came in 1899. All before the 20th century.
For a video on facts, you should have researched that one.
Damnnnnnnnnnn
ooooooooooooooh
Would they have looked like the ones Django was wearing in those days?
@@lazer2365 Django wore UV sunglasses, which, as I stated, were invented in 1899 however, the first UV sunglasses that every day people wore wasn't invented until 1913 and weren't widely available until the 1920s. But the commentator of the video said, "sunglasses weren't invented until the 20th Century" which is an untrue statement. What he should have said was, "The type of sunglasses Django (by way of Charles Bronson from 'White Buffalo') was wearing wasn't widely available until the 20th Century." That would have been a true statement.
@@davidarnold7147 You're wrong, the 20th century is considered the 1900s, which means his statement was still correct.
5:10 I asked out loud why and I started pressing the back button and I saw the name of this channel was the Why 😂, good stuff Chicago Illinois salutes you
The scene towards the end where Django is riding horseback through the Candy plantation wrecking havoc was actually Foxx and not a double. The horse trainers said that they were scared Foxx was going to die because his horse was moving incredibly fast. Definitely my favorite practical shot in the film.
I did not know about the original Django, and the fact he was in this movie asking about Django’s name just got me excited lol
I was curled up in a ball laughing my ass off in that scene...yes, I'd seen the mention of Franco Nero in the opening credits, but actually seeing him in the scene (which I now refer to as "Dueling Djangos") could not have been a better gag, and only Tarantino would have thought to put that scene in. To me it was right up there with Sonny Chiba playing Hattori Hanzo in Kill Bill part 1...which is funny as hell to anyone who was a kid in the '80s who stumbled across a Japanese-language TV show where Sonny Chiba played a ninja named Hattori Hanzo. The gimmick of the show was that it started with him being the (possibly) historic Hanzo, but each season would be a slight time jump, with Chiba playing a descendant of the previous season's Hattori Hanzo...with the one the Bride getting her sword from being yet another descendant.
I love Dango, thank you for sharing this video.
There was 46 years between the Django movies and Franco Niro looks like he aged 5 years, absolutely crazy genetics. He was 70 in Django Unchained and I wouldn't flinch if someone said he was like 48.
and still gorgeous
Django:
“The D is silent”.
Him: “I know”.
Brilliant crossover.
When was the last time Will made a good movie? Perhaps, The Pursuit of Happiness which was a decade ago & the reason he turns down Django shows his egoistic personality! Glad that Jamie Foxx nailed it.
He turned down the matrix too
@@KyleCollins-ny4em He needs a new agent with very persuasive skills.
Literally just got an oscar nomination this year tho..
Because forget the message of the movie right Karen?
@@brooklynbred1460 who’s Karen
“ he broke his pelvis, luckily it wasn’t too bad”
LMFAO bro he broke a bone that hurts man 😂
Damn you give a lot of interesting information I didn't know and I appreciate you. To be honest, I cared more about the cast of actors and their scenes than I did for the overall movie. That's only logic for me because I love QT's writing and everything he has in his films that no other movie maker will touch. The violence and blood and gore. You have to accept the fact that the overall movie plot is not realistic which is the case in most films but the great actors and their talent make you forget that on most films.
Love jamie foxx, and seeing him rise from literally nothing to one of the best gun slingers in the west killin racists was fuckin dope
Mind blown!!!! so many references to other movies, he's a freakin genius.
Calvin candy is DiCaprio's last role as a bad guy? Was he supposed to be a good guy in Wolf of Wall Street? Or do you mean antagonist?
Hardly a villain tho
Given he said villain and antagonist 4 times before "bad guy", I'm pretty sure he meant antagonist.
Jordan Belford was more of an anti hero than villian imo
@@jeremysiegel2961 name 1 heroic thing jordan belford did in the wolf of wall street
@@pappar2669 anti heros don't do heroic things. They are characters that the audience is rooting for even though they're bad people. But I would say the Lamborghini scene was the nearest thing to heroic he did in the movie haha.
Enjoyed this video; definitely found out a lot of new info about one of my favorite movies of all time. I still think Leo should have been nominated for Best Supporting Actor or something or the like for his role because it was so different than anything he’s ever done.
That last part of your comment hits different now given Leo’s role in Killers Of The Flower Moon.
I love these interesting facts stuff it’s great ! Keep up the good work.
I am in the group that believes that Stephen was more vile than Calvin. 30 facts and you only 1 was focused on Samuel L.?
Smdh
Omg Sammy j is my all time fav actor. He’s is the definition of talent. Walter Goggins is a severely underrated actor imo. Dude goes total method and is truly one of the greats. Love Tarantino movies was hooked as a kid when I seen from dusk till dawn. Also started my live affair with the 68 cougar.
That shoot straight in the Calvin's heart was just perfect,sound image and effect
Tarantino's best film. Everything about it is perfect
It's good when films don't use filters to please the people. It makes it more authentic
Another thing was 2 nods to Dukes of Hazard: Tom Wopat was in the film and there was a reference to Chickasah County, the neighboring county to Hazard County.
Kerry Washington super slept on as an actress. She was willing to take real time in the hot box and whippings for this role that’s essentially becoming a slave for hours just for understanding and entertainment.
Loved the movie and the chemistry between the two
This movie is pure art! The same guy also worked on the lighting
Fun fact: Alexander Dumas father was Thomas Alexander Dumas a general in the French Army and fought along side Napoleon.
Whats that to do with Django?
@@thedjsubii Calvin candy's favorite author is Alexander Dumas
It takes a lot of nerve for Kurt Russell to walk off the set considering QT pretty much continues to revitalize his career.
19:20 sounds like when you and your boys are comming up with coll crossovers and elaborating on it. And I am a 100% for this!!!
Great video! I do have one correction though. Sunglasses have been around since the 12th century in China. They weren't made of glass, rather thin cut slabs of smoky quartz crystal.
One of the greatest movies I’ve ever seen. Damn good film
You either love or hate Tarentino, but nobody can argue with the incredible level of depth and detail he pours into his stories and worlds, incredible movie making skills.
Will Smith could not pull that one off Jamie Foxx did an excellent job
another fact...the man in the middle of the poker game at 14:33 is Tom Savini, special Effects icon of 70's and 80s horror
I wonder if he was going to do the make-up for Zoe Bells missing jaw and that's why he was there
