'Django Unchained': Is It Tarantino's Most Disturbing Film? (And 24 Other Urgent Questions) Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained is, perhaps, the most anticipated movie of the season because, well, it's a movie directed by Quentin Tarantino and people like his movies. With two more ados before we start, the movie stars Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz as men hunting bounty in the old South a few years before the Civil War. With one more ado, it also stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a plantation owner who happens to own Django's wife (Kerry Washington). Are there any further ados? There appear to be no further ados. So, with no further ado, we answer every question that you could possibly have about Django Unchained. Q: Who is Django? A: Django (Foxx) is a slave who is freed at the beginning of the film by a German named Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz). Q: Why does Schultz free Django? A: Schultz is a bounty hunter and Django just happens to be in the position of being able to identify three men - the Brittle Brothers -- that Schultz is currently pursuing. Q: Is the rest of the movie Schultz and Django chasing down these three men one at a time? A: The film kind of sets it up that way because the three wanted men used to own Django and his wife, Broomhilda (Washington), and a lot of atrocities occurred during that time period. Q: So Django Unchained is a tale of revenge? Like Kill Bill? A: Perhaps these similarities occurred to Tarantino, which is also perhaps why the Brittle Brothers situation is resolved relatively early in the film on a plantation owned by "Big Daddy" Bennett (Don Johnson). After, Schultz enjoys working with Django so much, Django is offered the job of Schultz's bounty hunting partner. Q: Why would Django want to be a bounty hunter? A: To earn enough money so that he can at least make an attempt to purchase Broomhilda from a man named Calvin Candie (DiCaprio). Candie happens to be a pretty nasty scoundrel who wagers on slaves who fight each other to the death. A slave who refuses to fight sets up the most disturbing scene I've seen in a theater this year. Q: Do Django and Schultz simply make Candie a financial offer for Broomhilda? A: See this is where things go off the rails a bit. Instead of simply trying to purchase Broomhilda, Schultz devises a somewhat harebrained scheme in which he and Django pose as a party interested in purchasing a slave for fighting. The problem is, even though this convoluted plan is fully explained, it's still based on assumptions that Django and Schultz really have no reason to believe are true. Q: Then why hatch such a convoluted plan? A: Because if the plan weren't convoluted, this would have been a 90 minute movie. Q: Was Christoph Waltz revitalized by working with Tarantino again? A: After winning an Oscar for portraying Col. Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds, Waltz has been somewhat of a lost soul, appearing in subpar films like The Green Hornet and dreck like Paul W.S. Anderson's The Three Musketeers. Here, Waltz is back at the top of his game and is a joy to watch. Q: How many The Three Musketeers references does Christoph Waltz make during Django Unchained? A: One. And, luckily, it was a reference to the book and not that terrible Paul W.S. Anderson movie. Q: How is Leonardo DiCaprio's performance in Django Unchained? A: I can't remember watching DiCaprio have this much fun in a role since Catch Me If You Can. (Though, as an aside, be warned that DiCaprio doesn't show up until at least an hour into the film.) Q: I saw Jonah Hill in the trailer for Django Unchained. Does he play a major role? A: Jonah Hill has about three minutes of screen time in Django Unchained. But he does happen to be in the best scene in the film. Q: Does Django Unchained live up to the hype? A: That really depends on what your individual level of hype is before seeing Django Unchained. If it's very high, the chances are you will be somewhat disappointed. Q: What are the problems with Django Unchained? A: Django Unchained just feels overly bloated at 2 hours and 45 minutes. Most specifically, again, when Django and Schultz are in the midst of their grand scheme to fool Candie, it just feels like wasted time watching a plan that we, as an audience, get the feeling isn't going to work anyway. Honestly, there's a tight 120-minute movie in there, somewhere. Q: What deleted scenes will be on the Django Unchained Blu-ray? A: I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a video of Quentin Tarantino saying, "Sorry, gang, nothing to see here. I used them all." Q: Is Django Unchained Quentin Tarantino's most disturbing film? A: Between the gore, the torture and, most disturbingly, the language - yes. And when I write "language," I'm not talking about a word like "fuck." I'm referencing the language that was used in 19th century United States - and, yes, it's excessive. Q: Is Django Unchained also Quentin Tarantino's sweetest film? A: Without giving anything away, strangely, even after all that ... yes, it is. Q: Will I like Django Unchained? A: Even while bloated, there's still more than enough good in this movie to warrant me answering "yes" to that question. So, yes, you will. It's worth seeing for the performances alone. Q: Could anything you have written in that last sentence have stopped me from going to see Django Unchained? A: No. Q: What's the best thing about Django Unchained? A: Samuel L. Jackson. Good grief, is he great. Just the look on his face half of the time had me laughing. Q: What's the worst thing about Django Unchained? A: Tarantino's acting. Q: Who was the last person you expected to see in Django Unchained? A: Tom Wopat, who played Luke Duke on The Dukes of Hazzard. Q: What's the last thing you expected to hear during Django Unchained? A: A Jim Croce song. Q: The role of Django was originally written for Will Smith. How many times has Will Smith kicked himself today for passing on this role? A: Even with the film's flaws, Django is still a pretty juicy role. So, three times today. Q: Is there a post credits scene? A: Yes. An extremely short scene. Q: Should I wait through the credits to see this post credits scene? A: No. Please trust me on this one. You've spent enough time in theaters over the last few weeks. Go out and live your life - it's slipping by faster than you think. (Note: I may be just talking to myself in this answer.) Mike Ryan is senior writer for Huffington Post Entertainment.

I just found it in another thread about Leo and...holy crap...this is too akward! First of all,I'm not saying these things written here are true ok girls? hehe He was dating Bar at this time... Originally Posted by incogneato: I was introduced to Leo years ago by my good friend Kamal (Q-Tip). Coincidentally I was met him again a couple years later through Leo's mother who was my neighbor whom I became friends with. And yes I'm black but I can't say that he prefers Afrikan women. He loves all kinds of women as he told me in many conversations and from what I have seen of him throughout the years he loves BLOND white girls more than anything else. I think it has little to do with conforming to Hollywood standards. His mother was actually trying to push us on to each other right after he and Gisele broke up. She was devastated that Gisele left her son, we messed around a few times and I left for Europe shortly after and met my fiance. I still keep in touch with his mother once in a while via email. His family are not "hicks" as one person said, they are actually extremely interesting and intellectual people. I accompanied Leo to his fathers art exhibit and he comes from a great family. I even met his grandmother on several occasions at the moms house. No one likes this new girl that he's with, she is to put it lightly a "fucking bitch," and a racist Israeli (has extreme views on Arabs and Palestinians in general). His mother is not fond of her whatsoever and neither was Leo's German grandmother who passed away a couple of years ago. Leo Di Caprio is beyond talented and an incredible human being, he was so generous with me in every sense of the word and I have a great deal of respect for him.... BUT he is very insecure in a lot of ways, he still has that high school mentality of having a hot girl on his arm as eye candy. There is absolutely no love or chemistry between him and this new girl, as a matter of fact she cheapens him to the utmost degree. She is completely using him as he is using her back for companionship. Leo will not date someone who is his equal and that's where his insecurities come out. I noticed this the second time we went out, he even told me once that he couldn't keep up with my intellect which really took me back given the amount of intellect he has. He's like a Kobe Bryant, keep a dumb, trophy looking girl who only looks good but has nothing to really contribute. That's why Gisele left him, it wasn't only because she wanted to settle down, its because she has too much going for her and that's what he liked and hated about her. I have nothing bad to say about the man, he is brilliant and sexy as hell but his attitude towards women is very juvenile. I don't know where these rumors are coming from that Leo only prefers black women and I don't mean to burst anyone's bubble but imo and from what I have seen of him first hand throughout the years this is not the case. He loves all kinds of women but prefers white girls, he's not the type to say his reputation will go down if he's got a sister on his arm. The man is more powerful in the industry than you can imagine, there is nothing that Leo cannot touch. http://www.lipstickalley.com/f15/official-leonardo-dicaprio-appreciation-thread-403982/- Leonardo DiCaprio - (Please Read First Post Prior to Posting)
