as is the case with tsai’s other films , stylistic elements deepen this sense of isolation . vive l’amour is mostly silent , offering little dialog and virtually no music . long takes and tracking shots proliferate , as if the camera is a languid companion on the characters’ descent into nothingness . there is little action in the movie ; even when police are about to crack down on ah - jung’s street stall , it displays little urgency . thus , vive l’amour is very much an art film , providing little for entertainment but much for contemplation .
1 . editor ' s note : tsai ' s most recent film , the river ( he liu , 1997 ) , which forms a loose trilogy with rebels of the neon god and vive l ' amour , won the silver bear prize at the 47th berlin in 1997 .
i ' ve seen a few ming - liang films , but so far vive l ' amour ( which translates to
long live love
) is his best . it ' s a meditative exploration of urban malaise that is more interested in one ' s silences than one ' s communication , and what those silences mean .
i used viva l ' amour to help me plan and achieve the most romantic evening of my life at escambrón beach with the purpose of popping the question . my new fiancee was so surprised and excited that she thought she was dreaming . vival ' amour helped me design the perfect moment and not only did what i wanted , but also added an extra touch of romantism to the event .
i now wish that i had seen vive l’amour before watching the hole , tsai’s most recent release . for whatever reason , i lacked patience for , and interest in , that film . but i now see the end of the hole — when one of the two main characters quite literally reaches out to the other — as a moving portent of optimism and human triumph . quite a step beyond may lin’s endless tears .
i’ve always seen taipei as a city of togetherness . to me , it is an abode of extended family , a lively retreat from the banality of suburban california , and place for holidays and discovery . stifling humidity aside , taipei occupies a relatively positive and nostalgic place in my heart . tsai ming - liang’s 1994 film vive l’amour does not share my perspective . to say the least , its taipei is a horribly lonely place .

lors de sa sortie internationale . le pitch avait tout pour plaire : 3 âmes solitaires se rencontrant dans un appartement mis à la vente . or les interprétations ( mention spéciale à yang kuei - mei lorsqu ' elle ne pleure pas ) et la photographie ( par liao pen - jung & lin ming - kuo ) ne sauvent pas le postulat de départ . on se perd dans ce beau film qui ne présente que trop peu d ' enjeux .
but really , this film could be set anywhere . loneliness , and the cities that cause it , are universal . there’s a heavy silver lining to its silence—you could watch it without knowing mandarin or having subtitles , and still come away with the same sense of utter soulless devastation . in this sense , vive l’amour is ironic in more ways than just its title ; it’s a piece about unanchored souls on which anyone who wants ( though few probably do ) can anchor .
a collaboration between several photography and videography houses , vive lamour is the combination of the talent and passion of some of the top singaporean , malaysian and taiwanese wedding vendors .
on that note , vive l’amour has a fantastically ironic title ; it’s got plenty of lust but absolutely no love . for the most part , its three characters exist in separate spheres—mei never stays long with ah - jung , ah - jung ends up stealing another key and using the apartment for his own purposes , and hsiao - kang hides under the bed when the couple are going at it . furthermore , their activities in the apartment bring only temporary release at best . in the end , all three are still alone , marooned within taipei’s urban desert .
vive l’amour ends with two stunning sequences . in the penultimate scene , hsiao - kang ( lee kang - sheng ) , a closeted and suicidal young man , crawls into bed with ah - jung ( chen chao - jung ) , an acquaintance who is sleeping soundly . tsai’s camera lingers on the two men for several minutes , allowing us to watch — trapped in a moment of almost hitchcockian suspense — as hsiao - kang leans closer and closer , finally kissing the other man on the mouth without waking him . it’s a remarkable performance . lee’s face is written with conflicted emotion : curiosity , terror , longing , shame , joy .
if and when the macrons win — he has made it clear it will be their joint win — one can expect a return to real l’amour in france , even if it is deemed awfully old - fashioned , tedious and utterly bourgeois by most of the disdainful french . macron supporters chant , “brigitte ! brigitte ! ” at his rallies and say their amazing relationship is ‘‘a conversation that is continuing 25 years after their first meeting . ” how lucky ! how lovely ! brigitte herself says , “our love story belongs to us . that is our secret . ”
i got in contact with eric from vive lamour through a friend of mine , who have recently got married & engaged eric for their wedding . i ' ve choosen vive lamour out of all because of their impressive ( morning highlights ) video that they produced for my friend ' s wedding & also the affordable price . as i was hosting a lunch banquet , it is important for me to get a professional team to rush out the video during my 2nd march - in . many other studio couldn ' t commit to that . although there were some hipcups with the video on my weddingday , but thankfully the team managed to rush it out after our 2nd march - in eventually . they were very commited during the filming ( even drones were involved which we were very impressed with ) . many of our relatives & friends comment that our video was very unique & different from the usual . me & my husband was truely satisfied with the video & the team . i ' ll definitely recommend vive lamour to all the wedding couples out there .
the film focuses on three city folks who unknowingly share the same apartment : mei , a real estate agent who uses it for her sexual affairs ; ah - jung , her current lover ; and hsiao - ang , who ' s stolen the key and uses the apartment as a retreat . written by l . h . wong
the end of the film aspires to a grand , antonioni - like gesture with an extended tracking shot of the unhappy mei - mei walking through a desolate urban park . blending allusions to
l ' avventura ,
la notte ,
and
the passenger ,
the scene ends with a prolonged , highly emotional closeup of mei - mei .

for much of the film , the characters co - exist in the apartment without confronting one another . on one occasion , hsiao - kang , to avoid being discovered , hides under a bed on which mei - mei and ah - jung make love . a situation that would normally be played as a bedroom farce is treated instead as a portrait of erotic angst , with overtones of
no exit .
for when hsiao - kang eventually meets ah - jung , he falls secretly in love with him .
both the director and his characters are obsessed with the glossier surfaces of modern life . in this languidly paced film , the camera lingers on the apartment ' s spare , immaculate interiors as intently as on the characters ' grooming habits . one of the apartment ' s attractions is a whirlpool bath in which the characters luxuriously immerse themselves . but as the film makes graphically clear , solitary sensual gratification is no palliative for an underlying sense of emptiness . no sooner has hsiao - kang finished his bath than he slashes his wrist in a half - hearted suicide attempt .
in crucial ways , all three characters are not what they seem . ah - jung tells mei - mei that he works
in imports and exports ,
which seems like stretching things for an unlicensed street peddler who has to hide from the police . hsiao - kang , when alone , acts out an elaborate autoerotic fantasy of himself as a woman . mei - mei , who seems crisp and tough throughout most of the film , is ultimately revealed to be seriously depressed .

you agree to receive occasional updates and special offers for the new york times ' s products and services .
at times , the symbolism becomes heavy - handed . hsiao - kang has a job selling cremation containers . and when the movie takes a digressive tour of an enormous mortuary , the metaphor seems pushy .

what a ‘prem kahani’ ! wow ! let’s be honest , one of the main reasons the world is taking such an interest in the presidential election in france is because of one woman . no . not marine le pen . but her chief rival emmanuel macron’s wife brigitte . i confess i am obsessed and intrigued by their extraordinary love story . so is international media . whether le pen wins or macron makes it to the elysee palace has become secondary to the role brigitte will play as first lady , if her husband edges out his rival . macron has made it clear his wife will be by his side — officially , with a defined role , if he makes it as top dog next month . as she well deserves to , given the significant role she has played shaping the life of a man who is quarter of a century younger than her . a man she lovingly describes as ‘‘a character from another planet” .
brigitte first met her future husband as a 15 - year - old student in a conservative jesuit school , where she , a much - married teacher , took classes in latin , french and theatre . her daughter was exactly emmanuel’s age and shared a classroom with the schoolmate who would one day become her stepfather . love bloomed when he was playing the lead role in a milan kundera play and the pupil - teacher spent hours together . according to brigitte , she tried to discourage her desperately young and very ardent suitor by getting him to change schools . but at 17 , he declared he would eventually marry her , no matter what !
and that’s exactly what happened in 2007 , when they exchanged vows , after brigitte obtained a divorce from andre louis auziere , her banker husband ( and father of their three children ) . during his wedding speech , macron thanked her children for “loving us as we are . ” and he told the love of his life , “we’re going to shut people up . ” well , they almost succeeded . today , their relationship has become an issue for political watchers , who are strenuously trying to pick holes in it . critics have suggested macron shares a gay relationship with mattieu gallet , a high - profile radio journalist . but brigitte’s youngest daughter ( 31 ) staunchly declares she has yet to meet a “happier couple” than her mother and stepdad . c’est la vie !
the interesting aspect of their unusual love story is the emphasis placed on the age difference , and little else . never mind that another president across the atlantic is also married to someone 24 years his junior . donald trump is 70 , melania is 46 . men who marry women young enough to be their daughters are admired for their virility and power . it doesn’t quite work the other way around . brigitte is a grandmother of seven . macron visits his step - grandchildren regularly . brigitte’s son sebastien is two years older than him .
amusingly enough , the trogneux ( brigitte’s maternal side ) family are famed chocolatiers specialising in macrons… the jokes never end . despite the taunts , brigitte says , “love carries everything with it . ” the french are more used to philandering presidents and don’t quite know what to make of this monogamous couple . hollande of the scooter helmet fame ( he was caught visiting a movie star , hiding behind it ) broke off with valerie trierweiler , his live - in ladyfriend at the elysee after the scandal broke , and promptly reinstated his ex , segolene royal ( mother of his four children ) , in the cabinet . if that sounds complicated and exhausting , hollande’s predecessors jacques chirac and francois mitterand upheld french tradition and honour by not bothering to hide their mistresses or liaisons . hollande’s predilections earned him the respectful nickname ‘mr normal’ .
it is inspiring and reassuring in our cynical and blasé times , to celebrate the macrons and what they share as equal and loving partners . their age difference is a non - issue . macron , a political newbie , is expected to use his formidable intellect and experience as a banker to provide a fresh direction to his country with en marche ! — a new centre - left party that believes in a more inclusive france and a strong eu . angela merkel’s spokesperson has already hailed his expected victory , as has european commission’s chief . it is only le pen’s sour supporters who have dissed him for what they dub his ‘bling - bling biz’ attitude . we’ll know soon enough who the french want as president . but for me , he has already won the title of ‘president of hearts’ for his daring ‘pyar kiya toh darna kya’ beliefs .

images : congested and noisy exteriors contrast sharply with starkly decorated ( or empty ) interiors . very little dialogue — perhaps ten minutes total in two hour film , the majority of which is built from long takes , often shots of solitary characters suffering in silence . favorite images : hsiao - kang carressing and kissing a melon ; ah - jung sillhouted against a large apartment window overlooking taipei ; may lin looking down a stairwell , where hsiao - kang hides unnoticed ; ah - jung emerging slowly from underneath a bed on which may lin is sleeping .
tsai then cuts to his heroine , may lin ( yang kuei mei ) , who is now walking quickly and alone through a park that is muddied by construction . she wants only to put some distance between herself and ah - jung’s bed , from which she has recently escaped quietly after another night of anonymous sex . lin finally rests at an outdoor amphitheater , where she sits and begins to cry . typical of the director’s style , tsai frames her in a medium close - up , then simply allows the camera to run . the scene lasts for five and a half minutes , during which may lin struggles to find composure . but she is able to do so only temporarily before surrendering , again and again , to the sobs . as dennis lim has said of the scene , tsai fades to black “just as you’ve convinced yourself she could go on weeping forever . ”

three lonely young denizens of taipei unknowingly share an apartment : mei , a real estate agent who uses it for her sexual affairs ; ah - jung , her current lover ; and hsiao - ang , who ' s stolen the key and uses the apartment as a retreat .
the only together is on the edges , and even in orbit of one another , the wholeness and separateness of the body is a silent gulf that swallows up words . everything is buried beneath the surface . cinema of the eyes , of the face , and their inscrutability . it cascades from their eyes and faces .
in a tumble of circumstance , the final scene sees ah - jung and lin having sex on top of a bed , under which hsiao - kang is hiding . he quietly masturbates with them . they stop together and sleep , separated by the thin mattress . his masturbatory echo of their physical connection above him recalls the opening scene in which he stares into his own reflection in a convenience store mirror .
it feels garish to put this into words . if we assume speech to be a metaphor for connection , then we witness here an encapsulation of the spaces between connections . but at the same time , the film tells a complete story with so few words that it puts the lie to that idea ; tsai ming - liang barely needs sound to communicate anything . regardless , the story here , the image we are presented , is one of extreme isolation , one of pure , soul - shivering loneliness . every frame speaks to it ( lin in an empty , ragged building calling for someone to show up ; kang always under the bed , a layer beneath human interaction ) . every action is inspired by it , including the best moment illustrating the rare beauty of the boredom of isolation and how it inspires something like genius ( i refer of course to bowling with watermelon ) .
this is a glacially paced study of three desperately lonely people who all live alone in the same taipei apartment , often at the same time .
the story is pretty simple . three people hold keys to an empty taipei apartment : one is a sexually frustrated , suicidal salesman who , after discovering it still attached to the door , uses it for relief from his tedious life , another is mei lin , a female real estate agent who , for her , is just one of the many apartments she ' s trying to sell . the final key holder is lin ' s lover , who tells her he ' s a boss but is actually an…
this is a beautifully devastating and realistic look at different kinds of loneliness three young people suffer while living in a big city . it ' s a slow movie , but it fits the theme as i also longed for them to have more people to talk to , have more meaningful experiences with etc . instead of simply living and longing for that which they cannot or do not have .

the news of sayles taking on the job comes to us from the hollywood reporter , but details beyond that are slim . however , franco nero , who played the titular gunslinger in 1966’s django and 1987’s django strikes again , has high praise for sayles :

django lives will mark nero’s third outing as django after the original movie and the 1987 sequel django strikes again ! , and while plot details are being kept under wraps , it had previously been reported that the film would “be set in 1915 , with nero playing the role of an older django working as a consultant to producers of silent movie westerns who gets involved with racketeers . ” of course , that could change , given that sayles will now be rewriting .
doubtlessly not nearly as fantastic and iconic as corbucci ' s original django from 1966 . franco nero has his vintage charisma though . but basically , django strikes again comes across to be kind of a cheap and trashy tv movie , featuring a partly absurd , partly quite trivial plot , loads of cheesy dialogues and rather bad editing . but still , also franco nero .

django 2 . . . . il grande ritorno . protagonista franco nero . director nello rossati . año 1987
django must leave for a while his monk robe and oil his machine gun in order to rescue his daughter .
regardless , his comments are an interesting perspective on the making the film . “django unchained” opens on christmas day .
a perverse , wild jumble of herzog , fulci and heroic bloodshed . django as rambo as 80s slasher . has very little to do with the original django or the spaghetti western in general . amazing music from gianfranco plenizio .
i explain it again for everybody who does not know it . 1 , 33 : 1 open matte shows you only what the black bars hide when they are shown on an old 4 : 3 tv in its cinema aspect ratio of 1 , 78 : 1 . means you can see more on top and ground .
of course , with the video market prefering 1 , 33 : 1 films there were more films shot for 1 , 78 : 1 for cinema , which were shown then in 1 , 33 : 1 open matte on the tv . nowadays with widescreen tellies these film are generally shown again in 1 , 78 : 1 .
i give the fist movie 3 stars ( django ) . the other disk . . . . . . throw it away i give that movie - 3 stars for wasting 90 min . of my life . buy the vesion that only has django .

quentin tarantino previously nodded to nero’s involvement in the django series in 2012 , as django unchained ( narratively unrelated to the original film ) features a cameo by the 74 - year old as a man who asks jamie foxx’s character how he spells his name .
former gunfighter django has become a monk and abandoned his violent former ways . his daughter is kidnapped by rogue hungarian soldiers using slave labor to run a silver mine . django casts off his habit and digs up his machine gun to practise a little liberation theology .
former gunfighter django has become a monk and abandoned his violent former ways . his daughter is kidnapped by rogue hungarian soldiers using slave labor to run a silver mine . django casts off his habit and digs up his machine gun to practice a little liberation theology .
in addition to info on that film , after the break you’ll find a video interview with tarantino in which he explains the django lineage .
at moments , there ' s the kind of gritty and merciless stuff you liked a lot in 1966 ' s django , and most importantly , the stuff you liked a lot about the character django . but eventually , the original concept of nero ' s character is altered and lost , turning django from an apathetic and ruthless gunslinger / antihero to a rather uninspired and remorseful saviour figure . it ' s a somehow logical…
back in the summer of 2014 it was reported that franco nero would reprise the role of django from the 1966 spaghetti western for django lives , and now the project has found itself a writer and director in oscar - nominated filmmaker john sayles ( passion fish , lone star ) .
django and its sequel are well known to fans of the spaghetti western , legendary for their action , nerve , and impact on the genre .
both movies are great , can ' t go wrong with franco nero , great actor . django one of the best spaghetti westerns ever . . .
although the django name will be best known to modern audiences from django unchained , that title is a reference to nero’s ultraviolent 1966 western . originally envisioned as a drifter who wanders the wild west with a casket containing a gatling gun , the django name has been utilized for dozens of rip - offs over the years . of course tarantino , that lover of old school schlock , would make a django rip - off of his own . however , the role originates with nero , so django lives ! will be the third official film in the series . even tarantino knew that he was simply riffing on something bigger , so he went ahead and put nero in his movie , just so cinephiles would know that he knew what he was doing .
more like djambo - it ' s entertaining enough , but i would have preferred to see django in another western as opposed to the colombian jungle .
despite having around 30 sequels to his name , this is the only official sequel to the original 1966 django . it ' s also the only sequel where
django digs up his buried machine gun and and returns to the silver mine along with a fake ' mariposa negra ' made by his friends the monks at the monastery . with the help of a young native boy who delivers the butterfly along with a note that tells where the insect was captured while django waits in ambush . ' el diablo ' at first overjoyed discovers it ' s fake and does not fall into django ' s trap . django then attacks the silver mine with explosives and after the austrian soldiers are all killed he frees guinn and his daughter and leaves ' el diablo ' to the prisoners to exact their revenge .
i don’t know wether django was shot in this format or not . this wasn’t my point . i mean the picture quality and the look of the image .
the story would have former gunslinger django , in his twilight years , ending up as a silent - movie consultant in 1915 hollywood and meeting an aspiring filmmaker with whom he reluctantly goes into business . when the filmmaker gets killed by racketeers , the young man’s gambling debts are considered transferred to django , who must now flee for safety to a small rural community . but that town’s sharply divided inhabitants have their own problems , and django becomes embroiled in a bloody conflict immediately upon arrival .

so django works an escape and the gunfighter of old is reborn . he goes to a graveyard where he begins to dig at a stone marked simply , django , and i knew then where his special coffin had been hidden when he gave up the guns . a horse drawn hears comes along with a woman and a child while he’s digging when a band of mexican outlaws came along . django of course takes care of them and has his base of operations , mounting his gun in the hearse .
retired for 20 years in a mexican monastery , ex - gunman django is asked by his dying ex - girlfriend to protect marisol , their daughter . when django arrives to her village , marisol has already been kidnapped by christopher connelly , a former officer of juarez , who terrorizes the people along the river he is navigating in his armored boat .
twenty years after the event in the first django , the title character has left the violent world of gunslinger to become a monk . living in a monastery , he wants no
though he’s best known for his performances in “django , ” joshua logan’s “camelot , ” luis buñuel’s “tristana , ” and in “die hard 2 , ” nero continues to work fairly frequently up until this day . he recently made a high - profile cameo in quentin tarantino ’s “django unchained , ” in which he asked jamie foxx’s character how to spell his name .
this is a fantastic dvd set with two very entertaining django movies starring franco nero . both flicks are fun stuff and this is a terrific dvd package with some cool extra . . .
django locates the boat and asks ' el diablo ' for the return of his daughter . he ' s laughed at before he ' s shackled in chains , tortured and then taken to the silver mine .
this is a fun action movie . . its definetely not a western like the first and best django , but this is an action packed movie that delivers some fun for it 84 minutes of movie time !
almost three years ago , django lives ! was announced and the timing couldn’t have been more fortuitous . quentin tarantino ‘s django unchained was just about to hit theaters and people – normal people ! – were actually interested in the spaghetti western icon whose name inspired jamie foxx’s slave - turned - bounty - hunter . but that was three years ago and this sequel , the third in the django series , was thought dead . until right now . seemingly out of the blue , it has been revealed that acclaimed writer and director john sayles has been hired to pen the screenplay . hopefully , it won’t take another three years for another update .
former gunfighter django has become a monk and abandoned his violent former ways . his daughter is kidnapped by rogue hungarian soldiers using slave labor to run a silver mine . . . . ( korean region free import )
the film then shifts to show django , who has been living in a monastery in san domingo preparing to take the vows that will make him a monk . a woman arrives and it is revealed it is django ' s dying wife and she implores him to care for their daughter . he accepts and leaves the monastery to locate his daughter . when he arrives in the town where she is supposed to be he finds it deserted and almost everyone is dead .
django has a wonderfully gritty feel to it . it and other italian westerns of it ' s time ( e . g . ,
the dollars trilogy
) had an enormous effect on american cinema - - first . . .
malloy had nero’s participationfor the documentary eurocrime ! , which chronicled italian cop movies of the ’70s — the films that followed the dominance of the spaghetti western . malloy and zaldivar were also behind the microbudget western the scarlet worm , and they’ll employ that film’s cinematographer , michael a . martinez , to shoot django lives ! the producers hope to shoot the film in utah , and are raising money now as they also work to fully secure the sequel rights for the official django films .
at the silver mine he meets an entomologist named gunn whose been enslaved by ' el diablo ' for several years because he failed to find the legendary ' mariposa negra ' ( black butterfly ) . with gunn ' s help django escapes the prison camp .
two - time oscar - nominee john sayles is reaching back — way back — for his next directorial project , as the filmmaker is currently set to write and direct the spaghetti western sequel django lives nearly 30 years after its predecessor hit movie screens , ew has confirmed .
talk about overlooked movies . i wasn’t aware until just recently that there was an offical sequel to sergio corbucci’s classic spaghetti western , django . i say official as opposed to the tsunami of ripoffs that came after the success of the original . some thirty - one films piggy - backed off of it hoping for some of those dollars . all had django in the title , but otherwise most of them bore no relationship to it . copyright laws must be different in europe . a number of the bigger spaghetti western characters were ripped off : trinity and sartana were others used in film titles / outright use of the characters .
[ . . . ] django 2 : il grande ritorno hat klar seine starken momente , ist aber über die ( recht kurze ) laufzeit gemittelt eine ziemlich stumpfe abfolge von baller - action und holzgen charakter - momenten . zwar bemühen sich die autoren reggiani und rosatti redlich , der figur django eine anständige handlungsmotivation zu geben , doch es fehlen witz und zynismus des klassikers von sergio corbucci . auch auf inszenatorischer seite wäre wesentlich mehr gegangen – wo der vorgänger noch genre - definierende maßstäbe für den italo - western setzte , rein optisch durch farbige symbolhaftigkeit und überragende kameraarbeit bestach , ist teil 2 zwanzig jahre später ( also in zeiten , als der spaghetti western eigentlich längst durchgekaut war ) nur eine handwerklich durchwachsene kopie der kopie . [ . . . ]
in the only official sequel django comes off more as a rambo than django . he guns lots of people in big battles and makes lots of remarks that make him sound concerned about the future of the wolrd and other people . in other words - pure cheese . christopher connely makes for a fitting over - the - top villain . music is too synthetically sounding for this kind of movie . i was surprised by number of pedofilic overtones in this movie . little girls are getting sold to brothel and there’s some customer who seems interested in them , there’s even a scene where it’s implied that some old guy raped girl that certainly looks underage . still as a brainless entertainment and nice cheesefest it’s not that bad . 6 / 10 for entertainment value
the only kosher django follow - up , this isn ' t too bad even if it does have that eighties belated sequel feel in places . nero ' s still convincing - there ' s always a jolt of excitement when he digs the old coffin up - and the plot ' s quite good , while the ever - reliable donald pleasance adds a little flavour in a decent supporting role .
we the see ' el diablo ' , a hungarian aristocrat who is in command of an armored riverboat . his austrian crew was in the employ of emperor maximilian but after his overthrow they work for ' el diablo ' as pirates , looting and capturing natives to work in a silver mine . django realizes it is ' el diablo ' who has attacked his daughter ' s village and now holds her prisoner .
that was literally three years ago and it could have easily changed by now . whether sayles will be doing his own thing from the ground up or riffing on that premise is entirely unknown . sayles is a smart guy with the western genre in his bones . he’s got this . he’s also a b - movie veteran , so he knows that any django movie is going to need a preposterous scene like this :
in addition to lone star , for which he received an oscar nomination , sayles has penned everything from hugely entertaining b - movies like piranha and alligator to more serious fare like matewan and eight men out . he even wrote the spiderwick chronicles , proving that he can rub elbows with all of that modern ya stuff . few writers have showcased such a broad and succesful , so why not hand him a django movie ?
django had given up the guns years ago and become a monk . a woman arrives at the monastery one day to tell him that he has a daughter and that she’d been taken by count orlowsky , “el diablo , ” on one of his village raids to gather slaves for his silver mines and women to be sold into slavery . he visits the village , finds destruction and death , and sets out to find and free his daughter .
and it seems the filmmakers thought lapaglia would and should have bailed on “underground” to keep waiting to work with tarantino . “the people at ‘django , ’ their attitude more or less was , ‘just dump the other film , ’ but i couldn’t do it out of respect to rob connolly , out of respect to the material , out of respect to the commitment i’d made , ” he said , noting that if he bailed on “underground” it might have caused the entire film to collapse , as financing was raised and backed on his name .
as “ django unchained ” made its way in front of cameras , quentin tarantino saw both the cast and script for his upcoming slavery / western / vengeance pic change as production moved along . joseph gordon - levitt had to bail on his small role in the film , kevin costner couldn’t commit to his role either , sacha baron cohen had to bow out , and kurt russell also exited the picture ( and while jonah hill did initially turn down the movie due to scheduling , he was able to join later on , albeit in a different role ) . and it looks like yet another actor left the project over timing .
franco nero reprise his most famous role some twenty - one years later and the cast had a number of notable actors in roles . christopher connelly is count orlowsky , “el diablo , ” a hungarian count still in the country after maximillion’s overthrow , donald pleasence in a small role as a british prisoner working in orlowsky’s silver mines , and william berger , a veteran of a number of spaghetti westerns himself , as an old timer who appeared in a mock gunfight at the beginning with another old timer , both lamenting the death years before of django just when he was needed . they were watching as orlowsky’s big steamship passed their position along the river .
as his shooting days kept getting changed , aussie actor anthony lapaglia found the schedule between “django unchained” running up against his role in robert connolly ‘s julian assange film “ underground , ” which he signed on for this spring . and when push came to shove , he sided with connolly who he had worked with before on “ balibo ” — and he doesn’t mince words about what he saw happening on tarantino’s film . “the production was just out of control , over - budget , it was everywhere . i had to formally withdraw . they recast it and they still haven’t shot anything . i could have said nothing and just hung out , i could be there shooting it now , ” he told australian site news , about the film which wrapped at the end of july .
two aging gunfighters ( one played by genre regular william berger ) decide to have one final shootout . their skills being lackluster from age they realize they can not shoot each other and reminisce about the old days . they both recall a gunfighter that was better than the rest but their discussion is cut short by the arrival of a gunboat which makes short work of the gunmen . with a dying breath one recalls the name : django . in turns out that our favorite machinegun packing avenger is now a monk going by the name of brother ignatius . he is quite content living the monastic life until he finds out his daughter and her mother are in danger . he arrives too late to save the mother from but he finds out his daughter has been taken into the slave trade by orlowsky ( connelly ) . orlowsky or el diablo as he is referred to runs the local slave trade after having a falling out with the mexican government . he and his mercenary goons make life a living hell for the locals .

, starring belgian hunk franco nero as the gritty mercenary who drags a coffin behind him , was one of the most influential spaghetti westerns . after mowing down armies of bad guys with his machine gun ( which he brandishes in classic two - fisted tough - guy fashion - - from the hip ) , he stages a daring gold heist from a mexican military fortress and then plots to double - cross his
partners . corbucci , who cowrote the story , fashions an unrelentingly violent tale of rival gangs squeezing the life out of a muddy , bloody border town , reveling in the sadism of the genre . the film opens with a woman strung up and lashed by a group of lascivious bandits , only to be saved by even more sadistic gunmen who plan to burn her alive , and
pushed the borders of violence into all - new territory , and the film was banned outright in england and cut in the u . s . it spawned 20 unofficial sequels before nero returned 20 years later for the only legitimate sequel ,

- most corbucci films are inept , sloppy , and cartoonish . speed racer can be less cartoonsish .
i won ' t argue here , the four westerns directed by sergio leone in the sixties fly high above the hundreds of spaghetti westerns shot in spain , greece , portugal , italy or iceland . . .
i need to wash my brain . this is one of the most worthless sequals ever committed to film .

nero broods and flashes his blue eyes , and his man - of - peace act ends after about three seconds when he unearths his trusty machine gun from his own grave . there ' s some exploitative violence and cartoony third world politics and if it ' s not a patch on the original , it is at least consistently entertaining .

sometime in the late 1800 ' s mexico we see two old gunfighters argue over who was the greatest gunfighter before they are killed .
biltmore mike : bill moore is probably the old gunman standing with berger during the opening scene .
you are probably right . i ' ve revised his participation with the role as old gunfighter .

note : my version doesn’t contain the famous prologue . are those korean discs worth buying just for prologue and franco nero interview ?
[ quote = “alk0 , post : 1 , topic : 1631” ] note : my version doesn’t contain the famous prologue . are those korean discs worth buying just for prologue and franco nero interview ? [ / quote ] i think the prologue is the best part of the movie . if you can get it for low price go ahead and buy it !
not a worthy sequel at all and i agree that the prologue was probably the highligt of the movie . 5 / 10
the prologue was terrible . or was it laughable ? oh , i remember , it was both .
there’s a gerneral problem i have with the 80s sws i know . they all look like cheap tv productions . why ? they lack techniscope ! even if django2 was abig hit , i couldn’t watch it because of that .
could this be related to the advent of video in the late 70’s ? companies making films to be viewed mainly on people’s tellys rather than at the cinema . different aspect ratio and possibly different filming techniques and equipment ? i don’t know , just asking .
that’s pretty much what i would assume… introduction of cheaper video options . i would probably place the fault at the equipment , rather than any techniques , or conscious decisions etc .
aside from the aspect ratio though , the video quality just looks like crap in a lot of these films . it could just be that the video needs a good restoration , but to me it just seems like its the way it was filmed / what it was filmed on… i don’t really know much about the technical side of what kind of cameras and film were being used around that time period , but definitely can notice a difference from the prior decades just in how it looks on screen… like dillinger said , it looks like a cheaply made tv production
originally , lapaglia was going to feature alongside joseph gordon - levitt , with the pair playing “mean brothers . ” in the script we read , these are some pretty small parts , amounting to only about 12 pages , but they participate in a comedic and crucial key scene near the end of the movie . but tarantino has also clearly been changing things since then , so it remains to be seen whether those roles are still in the movie .

# django2 ha personaggi così strambi che paiono usciti da un ' anime . ma non funziona : hanno riesumato un cadavere per poi lasciarlo ai corvi .
bam ! das ist also die offizielle fortsetzung und holla , da wird aber mal kräftig auf den putz gehauen , mit western hatte das dann sehr wenig zu tun , eher ein sehr finsterer actionfilm , der sich da vor den augen entfaltet mit allem was dazu gehört . angefangen bei echt fiesen schurken über eine tragische hauptfigur bis hin zu epischen bodycount metzeleien . man merkt dem film deutlich an , dass er 20 jahre nach seinem großen vorgänger kam . zwar fehlt ihm die originalität und die story wirkt zum teil hanebüchen , aber es macht trotzdem einen heidenspaß .
i came here to chew bubblegum and kick ass . . . and i ' m all outta bubblegum !
spaghetti westerns ? yeah . . . we ' ve got ' em . . . .
it had everything a good spaghetti western should have , extreme violence , cast and crew loaded with italians . but somehow , it didn’t have the feel of a film of that genre . shot some ten years after they’d fizzled out , this had more of a hollywood production look . that could be attributed to better equipment than the heyday , the mid - sixties , i suppose . it really had more of the look of a war film .
once he’s captured by the count ; s men and thrown into the mines as a worker . it doesn’t take him long to run afoul of the count’s straw boss , a black woman scantily dressed who makes liberal use of a cat - o - nine tails . hardly more than a slave herself , she shows jealousy a few times in the film when the count finds a pretty face among the women prisoners .
from that point it begins to pile up the body count , as all good spaghetti westerns do .
i enjoyed this one and it is truly an overlooked move as i didn’t know of it’s existence until just recently . check out the trailer below :
