There’s a lot to be impressed about in this film, but the performances are what really wowed me. Incredible!

Tarantino got a lot of crap for the rampant use of the N word in this one. In every interview he basically said the same thing 'It was pre-civil war deep south, what did you expect?" Especially when they get to Mississippi. That state had the highest disparity in population, 90% blacks and 10% whites. Slavery was already savage and brutal, but to control a population that much larger than the whites, they "had to be" extremely brutal and savage. This is such a damn good movie, Django is a super hero.

That whole scene at the table still stresses me out. I was entranced!

It's like how the CW wouldn't allow Black Lightning to use the word in its first season, so it had to compensate by having the main villain be so cartoonishly, openly racist that it became impossible to take seriously.

The Django theme song is from a excellent 1966 western called "Django"...which has a very different plot, but certainly is an inspiration for Unchained. I'll leave it to the youtubers to fill in the details.

And the original film’s star Franco Nero plays the other Mandingo slaver in Calvin’s first scene, which is why there’s that big moment of him knowing how the name is spelled.

Love that they carried over the song! I briefly read there was an original, but the fact they included the song and the actor make it fantastic.

Its a *different* movie, but here's a weird trivia bit: The 1966 Django was insanely popular, internationally. (It spawned more than 100! unofficial sequels, no exaggeration.) Especially in Germany (?). So much so that *every* movie staring Franco Nero in Germany had its title altered to include the name "Django" regardless of what the movie was about. The silliest example: a cheap Jaws cash-in with Nero, The Shark Hunter, was retitled in Germany as "Django, Django, Django!"
