I thought the woman with the bandana would be a factor... they showed her when they arrived and made a point to show her again when Django came back.

It felt like that was a little strand left over from a longer cut of the movie.

I mean Inglorious Bastards wasn't that exact story you described, but it very similar. Jews (from american) subjecting Nazi's(would-be tormentors) to horrors, while using witty dialogue and humorous situations.

One big difference between this and IB is that in IB they never really showed any Nazi atrocities, other than the first scene, but even then you just see them shooting into the floor. Where as in Django there was no problem with showing dog maulings and whippings. Makes me wonder if the reception for IB would have been different if they had a gas chamber scene
 
I can't front though....there were certain parts in the movie where I felt Spike's comments hit home.

A group of c__s were cackling loudly at every single "N-bomb" in the theater and people were cracking up at "Big Daddy" and his plantation, the allusion of rape and forced sexual encounters clearly going over their heads.

I didn't feel right having the literal rape of my real life ancestors being depicted in that comical type of manner, that paradigm should have been depicted just as darkly as the dog scene.

QT tip-toed around a lot of stuff not to offend the audience, mostly using Dr. Shultz as a filter. But no matter how softly he tried to walk, the subject matter and the comedic style of the film were guaranteed to clash at some point.

This is my point. IB didnt show nearly a tenth of how bad the holocaust really was. Im just saying, if QT wanted to show jewish prisoners getting baked and gassed in IB, I doubt the film wouldve gotten made

I can see that. But then again, I think Django's plot allowed for QT to show those graphic and detailed scenes. IB was about the war and a certain unit, the devestation was more distant than a slave escaping then rescuing his wife from a plantation.  If IB was about one jewish man's redemption Im pretty sure they would've (graphically) showed what the Nazi's did, but like you said Im not sure that movie would ever get the green light. And if it did, we would probably have a bunch of ppl reacting the same exact way Spike Lee did, which is hilarious.

I didnt have a problem with showing what the slaves went through. It was nice seeing ppl squirm in their seats, it also made you feel closer to the main character.
 
No feet scene either right? Unless you count the hot box scene

And for those who heard the soundtrack, the skit "Stephen The Poker Player" isn't in the movie right? So safe to assume this movie was meant to be waaaay longer?
 
I don't recall a trunk shot but I found this online.

"the trunk shot is towards the end, when a particular character is being tortured. samuel l jackson is looking at the guy through his open legs, down at his face. the camera slowly moves into it, so its harder to notice"

I'll likely see it again and I'll pay attention to that moment to see

I didn't think it was as great as everyone is making it out to be either.

That Pac scene was the truth and there were a couple startling depictions here and there (no spoilers) other than that it was just a well done shoot em up in a provocative era IMO.

I thought Inglorious Basterds was a much more layered and poignant film.

Very solid and enjoyable movie, though.

My sentiments exactly.
 
Thought the movie was great. Plenty of laughs and tons of action. Definitely go see it.
 
Movie was great! Story was well told and it was a great blend of action and comedy to me.

Saw a few comments on the last couple of pages that were blahhh... Its a Tarantino movie, wth were ppl expecting in terms of seriousness, and decency?

Slavery is a serious topic in itself, so kudos to him to for even tackling it in the fashion that he did....movie turned out great.

Wasnt bothered by the graphic depiction in several scenes either... felt it just highlighted how bad the whole thing was, it was needed.
