And NOOOO. Greeks killing Germans in a totally different continent, millennia ago in an empire that no longer exists is NOTHING at ALL like stealing a million people from one continent, bringing them to the US, abolishing their language, culture and identity, and then keeping them in your country to force them to build it, after which those slaves are freed and â now disconnected from any African country â are forced to stay IN the country of their oppressor for another century+ of political abuse. Totally different scenario. Ridiculous comparison to make. And my father isn't American, so at least half my line would have been unaffected. And you saying my existence here should make me appreciate slavery is probably the most ignorant, hateful, bigoted, obvious evidence of your disregard of any human outside of yourself. That's like saying coroners should be excited that 9/11 gave them so much work to do. You do sound like a Union supporter, which even further proves my point regarding the effects of one's past.

Meanwhile, wtf was so great about the movie? Actually, if YOU like it, then I'm even more glad I don't. You (and your total lack of understanding of the effects of US slavery on US Blacks today) are the reason I think it was a bad idea to make a film like that right now, and you are my proof that I'm right. AGAIN, good timing or bad, the film just wasn't a good Tarantino movie. It was an obvious, so-so B flick.

I didn't love Django.

Django finally came out in South Africa. Really appreciated the work. Question: Did they do some altering or something with words? I mean i didn't find the use of Nigger overdone or anything, and when Tarantino's group of slavers his the screen they were saying Black(s). So he didn't utter the disputed words in this film.
Anyway, i think his next film should feature the Kerry Washington character with Django as sidekick (Foxx doesn't really good when he plays a major supporting character).
In the last scene (not the very last with the Brother uttering the immortal words: Who was that Nigger?), in the last scene i did notice the way Broomhilda, while on her horse took a rifle out and galloped with it raised somewhat in the air. Was that a call to arms from the sister? With the two lovers go on a liberation streak across the old west? With their great-great-great grandchildren take up the fight in these modern times? Will the lineage come full circle and mount a modern liberation on the African Continent?
Will Negro (cinematic?) leaders/spokespeople allow (Quentin) the white boy to create any possibilities not claimed by their purview?
(Do they have any power to stop him? We can't even get a proper Nina…)
This on-going battle is not going away… (Yeah! We all love a good fight.)
One good thing; Spike (et al) will have to step-up their Game(s) and…

Westerns and slavery do not mix, obviously, inevitably resulting in the public death of a media figure that is anything but.

I really liked Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction. Since then, not so much. It would be nice to see him make a film with a plot again.

Did anyone notice one of those slave owners which was in the character of "Tarantinos gang" at almost the end of the movie? I think one of them might be the grand grand grand father of that sheriff character in "From dusk till dawn", "Kill bill", "Planet terror" and "Death proof" named Earl mcGraw

Awesome, in my opinion, Jackie Brown was his best film. He needs to give up the revenge porn for awhile.

I'm suprised Tarantino hasn't worked with Tom Cruise. I think it could be great like what he did in Magnolia or Tropic Thunder

The Bride was also buried in the tomb of Paula Schultz, who could be somehow be related to Christoph Waltz's "King Schultz".
