Slavery. Great Movie

Rating: Null/10 (21 January 2013)

First of all, this is a great show. I've noticed that so many great movies are long. QT only makes about one show every 3 years so it should be long. The endings in QT's last 2 movies are not that great, but they don't have to be. The first 45 minutes of Django and Basterds are so good you really lose yourself, and your sense of time. QT really gets you thinking with the Stephen character, it throws the modern understanding of slavery for a loop. If you're black I imagine you already knew about the house slaves and all that, but even the head of the African-American studies department at Harvard has never seen a horse drawn carriage with a slave master aboard pull up to a Mississippi plantation. This is as close as it gets! The appearance of Stephen might be the best scene in the history of movies. I took the time to read the entire original script signed by QT and he actually cut a scene where Django slaps Stephen and taunts him about the shows he puts on with his master in front of the white people. QT, no college, not much high school, born genius!
