I didn't like Django either.
He was uppity as freak .
And didnt have alot of compassion for the other slaves.
But I was thinking he did that scene with the dogs bc he had to play a part to get to his wife and Shultz got out of character

Yeah Django was uppity. I didn't like that he didn't show any guilt or any emotion towards getting that slave killed. He also seemed to like being "above" the other slaves. He was quick to put them in their place whenever necessary.

I haven't see the movie yet.
QT is a strange dude, and eccentric, but I can say one thing I know to be true: HE IS NOT A RACIST.
I think in a way, he has forgotten that he is white. He will pop off saying things and think nothing about it until someone says, hey man, wtf? He is very cameleon like. He is wierd, but HOLLYWOOD will do that to you. That's why I don't live there anymore.
As someone has said, his movies have been controversial from the beginning of his career. He often goes against the grain and does sh1t cause he can, and because he dares to. He also keeps a lot of black folks working in film. White Hollywood is none to pleased about it, but when the money comes rolling in they shut up and stick out their hands for a piece of the action. I take the publicity with a grain of salt. It's entertainment, not real. But that doesn't mean that sh1t can't portray what happened irl.

django was uppity?
i thought he had a role to play
act too slaveish and you were a dead man, being a sympathetic niguh would have been seen as aweakness like how are you a sympathetic niguh and here you are trying to play the role of a mandigo fight master? no comprende no?
i do agree that he could have been more helpful to the other slaves being transported or banded up with them
the one thing that stuck out to me though was as much s he was a free man, he still took orders from dr schultz
but tbh i never looked that much into the movie

he wasn't technically a free man until he finished working with schultz. Remember that schultz said "you help me and pretend to be a freeman".. and that he will help him get his wife back then his freedom. But he had to listen to Dr.schultz first and finish their mission.

I thought the dog scene was a test to see, like Afro said, if he would be sympathetic to the slaves, or if they were seriously trying to buy a fighter-well a winner. Because that is what got them in Candie's graces and on his property after all.
I would have liked to see him empower another slave or free man and not be on that "I am one in 10,000" or whatever the line was.

true.. he was basically saying that Candie was right in his theories.

But...I don't feel like he was right. He was trained. Granted many things take some sort of natural talent but he was trained and practiced to become that good.
