    Fun movie, loved Christoph Waltz character. Lots of violence, action, and humor.

    Enough with the pictures of black lead actors. ENOUGH
    We get it already, stop high jacking.

    A friend of mine at the end of this movie asked if Tarantino did outtakes at the end of his movies. This is all I could think of -

    I loved Inglorious...Although, I felt like it dragged a little bit. Django does a little bit too but it felt shorter than IB. Christoph Waltz is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors.

    I like Waltz better in IB because he plays a mean villain. He does a great job in Django too.

    Not really. Lots of jokes around the subject.

    I think about 110 slave owners died in the movie as well so it has something for everyone. :)

    Yes. That seriousness is the core of the film and what the protagonists have to contend with. Tarantino does engage the dehumanizing brutality of the institution. I think he did a fine job of keeping the movie fun, telling a hero tale, while stating his disgust with slavery.

    Some folks in the theater I attended muttered things like "oh, now that's too much" when, in reality, as Tarantino even states, Django is graphic, but it still pales to the real thing.

    The movie is ultimately about Django, the hero who goes through hellfire for love. It is not a slavery documentary, but it's Tarantino. He's not gonna shy away from the violence. Tarantino says his (angry) piece on slavery without getting preachy or too pornographic or losing sight of the story.

    And how do you get around using the dreaded n-word in a slavery pic?
