Inglorious Basterds Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/a4N41PkFeJs -
I like how this movie never portrays Django as stupid. He may be a bit unfamiliar with how things work, but once it's explained to him, he learns stuff like bounty hunting real quick.
-
Samuel L. Jackson was absolutely robbed for this, he just disappears into that character. One of the all time greatest villain performances
-
It's such a testament to Christoph Waltz as an actor that you can hate his Bastards character so much and then totally love his Django character.
-
I will never not love how Quentin manages to include humor. The entire masks conversation is a prime example.
-
one detail i love so much:
as Django stares Steven down in the final scene, Steven drops his cane and stands tall. it could be taken as him just standing proud in the face of death.
to me, it implied that Steven doesn’t have a bad leg at all. he pretended to for years and years so he could stay in the big house, skirt out of plantation work, and get close to Calvin. -
Fun fact, the reason Jamie Foxx rides so well? Bareback and all? He owns horses, the horse that did the neat tricks at the end, thats one of his horses.
-
I heard leo actually cut his hand in that scene and kept going to make the scene memorable, that's some savage acting on DiCaprio's part.
-
The guy Django talks with at the bar ("The D is silent." "I know.") is played by Franco Nero, who was the original Django in a 1966 film of the same name.
-
The dinner scene with Leao, for me, will go down as one of the best moments in cinema. Everything is just spectacular, the cinematography, the writing, the amazing actors, Leo cutting his hand for real and smudging the blood on her face, is just crazy incredible. Literally, dont think anything like this can be replicated again
-
This channel is probably my number one reaction channel, so rare is it to find such great reactors AND they have good production quality and aren't using a Mic the from late 90's lol.
Good stuff guys, keep on rolling. -
Your literally the only reactors to catch the fact that Schultz left the cash for the slaves. So many others ask “why did he bother paying?”
-
This movie brought Christoph Waltz his second (and much deserved) Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. His first win was for Inglourious Basterds.
-
Fun Facts about this film:
1. Will Smith was originally sought after to play Django, but he turned down the part.
2. One of the best moments in the film is when Django is at the bar and, in a room full of blood thirsty racists, tells a man that the D in his name is silent. The man he says this to is none other than Frank Nero, who played the eponymous character in the original 1966 Italian film Django. He is also married to Vanessa Redgrave, which is nice.
3. Action figures were made for this film but were quickly pulled due to their racist characterization.
4. During filming, Leonardo DiCaprio once stopped mid-scene because he said he was having a “difficult time” using so many racial slurs. Samuel L. Jackson then pulled the movie star aside telling him, “mother fucker, this is just another Tuesday for us.” Not a man to mince his words.
5. During the dinner scene, where Calvin Candie (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) learns he has been tricked, DiCaprio slams his hand on the table, breaking a glass and cutting his hand. This wasn’t part of the script and the actor had badly hurt himself but in true method (or madness) tradition, he never broke character and the take was the one used in the movie.
6. In perhaps the most horrifying scene in the film, the monstrous Calvin Candie delivers a monologue about skulls. The speech was DiCaprio’s idea and came from ideas espoused in an antiquarian book on phrenology – a racist pseudo-science used to justify slavery. DiCaprio gave Tarantino the book and the two fleshed out the character into the maniac you see in the film. -
Christoph Waltz is such a fantastic actor. Being such an embodiment of evil in Inglorious Basterds to this equal opportunist in Django is such a crazy range. And Jamie Foxx and Leo DiCaprio bring their A game. It's like the Olympics of acting in this movie.
-
After watching this and Inglorious Basterds, I officially decided I would watch anything that has Christoph Waltz in it. The man is just captivating. I remember being so upset when Schultz was killed.
-
Yes the scene where Leo cuts his hands and starts to bleed for real wasn’t scripted but he kept it in and he just went along with it, he should’ve gotten an Oscar for this role
-
Plantation owner "big daddy" is Don Johnson. Known for Miami Vice 80s tv show, father of Dakota Johnson.
-
The thing that blows me away the most with Quentin Tarantino is that not only was this a masterpiece, he is able to produce one after another. Has to be one of the greatest talent's in movie making ever
-
Leonardo hated using the N word during filming as Candy.
But Jamie Foxx and Samuel L Jackson ensured him, as Black actors, it will not be a big deal and had their blessing.
