#Tarantino - Zábava
Thanks for tuning in with us everyone! I'm curious to see how the reception will be for this movie considering some of the content therein, but I hope we can all get along down here in the bowels of the comment section!
We did 2 polls on Patreon:
The first was Tarantino films winning the next series, and the second was which films had the highest interest. Django won first place, with Pulp Fiction and Inglourious Basterds winning second and third. We still might do Once Upon a Time in Hollywood though.
Thanks for watching guys! And if you haven't already, go check out Patreon!

I can't wait for Pulp Fiction. I feel like this is a movie Jen would have seen already.
Do the Hollywood one too. Even if you leave it for last, I still believe it is worth a watch, regardless of reviews. There are some really interesting things there.
Is Jen wearing a Tool shirt?!
Y’all gotta do “The Hateful Eight” one of my favorite Movies
Franco Nero plays Django in the 1966 version and Amerigo vessepi in Django Unchained. Jamie Fox recalls the line from the original movie "It's Django the D is silent" to Franco himself🤩 🤩 🤩 🤩
fun fact: the guy who said “i know” after django told him the “D” is silent was the original actor who played him in the 1966 film, “Django”.
Yea, loved that scene with Franco Nero. Most people won't get the reference but I watched Franco Nero's Django years ago.
Also where the opening song came from
The kinda funny thing with Franco Nero is he also played a Swedish immigrate in 1970's Compañeros with Tomas Millian. It was always kinda thought of that "hey most of the people residing is the US at this time immigrated from somewhere else (like Germany or Sweden)". However how most of the Italian westerns from the late 60's/early 70's were filmed in Spain(this was because the natural landscape looked the closest to the US wild west) using Italian film crews backed by German producers. They used American and European talent to act in them and then dubbed the films accordingly to the country the film was being released in. Germany is still a decent market for western films. They were also kinda the more "realistic" looking films in compared to the ones Hollywood was putting out then. You saw blood and death on camera vs everything kinda happening off camera.
@@pumkinheadfanvhsforever6087 Yep, American westerns were too "sanitized" and you knew who the bad guys were by how they dressed. Not so with Italian westerns. The "good guys" weren't good at all but maybe not as bad as the others. It was a grittier more violent western. It's why I love spaghetti westerns.
I was just coming to comment that!.. Good call.
Something I really like is how during the entire film dr Schultz was in control of his emotions and always seemed I control of his surroundings, having to constantly remind django to keep it cool and teach him how to act but in the end he was the one who lost it. He was so feed up with Calvin that even knowing he would be immediately killed he kills Calvin.
Like he says himself: "I couldn't resist"
I also really like his character because it puts a spin on the "white savior" trope by making him the one who ultimately puts Django/Brunhilda in danger because of his pride.
@@lukijez Wow! What a brilliant observation I never thought of it like that.
@@SeaBiscuit2342 I know what you mean here but I disagree it was pride. They even show you how he's flashing back to watching D'artagnan get torn apart and he mentions it to Calvin before killing him as well. I just don't think he could sit there any longer witnessing that dehumanization and not doing something about it, reckless or not.
@@Tzoppo11 That is a completly valid point, i might've worded it wrong, I didn't mean it as "sinful pride", but rather just "holding your values at a very high standard" or something like this.
@@lukijez Yep, I totally understand what you mean and that's pretty much how I took it. I think we just always associate "pride" with someone doing something out of selfish reasons, or as you put it, "sinful pride."
Love Tarantino. Gotta love evil Leo, and Sam Jackson's "He gonna stay in the big house?!" kills me every time. And don't get me started on that hysterical wobbly tooth.
It's the "Whhyy?" That cracks me up for some reason 🤣 😂 😆
He gonna stay in the big house is the best line I've ever heard since this here tha gun line boss
I love how in every Tarantino movie, the story is super interesting and you get lost in the plot, then suddenly there's always this ONE scene that makes you go "Oh yeah... this is a Tarantino film."
The shootout was definitely this films "Tarantino moment".
Yeah people's heads exploding like a watermelon was a dead giveaway.
I love Tarantino's dialogue, but the silly plot of them riding into 'Candyland' posing as buyers of 'mandingo' fighters was just ridiculous. Schultz could have ridden in there ALONE, and said he heard they had a German speaking slave. As a German himself, it would have been perfectly plausible. He'd have paid a few hundred bucks for Broomhilde, and that would have been that.
@@Mr.Ekshin So what? Django could go along with it too.
That way he has an ally, and that way Broomhilda would be much happier to go along.
Plus, you think Django's character is the sort of person to hang back and let Schultz get his wife? No chance, he's clearly the sort of character who says "I'm going, with or without you".
Get it on til I die!
@@Mr.Ekshin Evidently this film wasn't for you, or anybody that liked your comment.
“You ok with the n word right?”
“That’s in this movie?”
Evil laugh
That is this movie
I immediately had to find this comment when I heard him laugh😂
Lol it was they way he posed that question that had me weak
Had me dying
She did say she’s never seen a Tarantino film so I guess she gets a pass.
Has there legitimately been a Tarantino without liberal use of the N word?
One of my favorite interviews is of Samuel jackson when he was asked (paraphrasing) “did you feel weird playing a slave” (something like that”
And he responded “i play the smartest guy in the whole movie”
He does
I remember that. The interviewer asked Sam Jackson what he thought about people saying that tarantino is racist, and how we felt about playing a slave. And Sam J. said in most movies that tarantino puts him in, he always plays the smartest in the room, and that a racist wouldnt do that pretty much.
@@cemulku9668 like in "the hateful 8" 😂
@@fkim8449 Underrated taratino flick, my personal favorite, it's so theatrical, and I fucking love Kurt Russel!
following on from that he was also asked by another interviewer if he "felt the N word was used too heavily in the film" to which he responded "what N word?" and started trying to bait the interviewer into saying it, eventually giving a response to the effect of; this is how they spoke then and no Tarantino isn't racist for portraying that.
11:40 “fuck all y’all I’m going home!” Gets me everytime. Reminds me so much of cartman from south park “screw you guys, I’m going home!” The way he says it and everything
That bit was hilarious. Hell, the whole scene mocking the Regulators and the jacked up eyeholes in the masks was great.
Me and my mate constantly talk about that entire scene 😂 “I can’t see fucking shit outta this thing” 😂😂
the whole scene sound like a south park episode hahaha
To answer your question Holden: The Germans during the time, specifically living in America, viewed slavery as horrible and horrific. They were staunchly against it. There were even coalitions, such as in Texas, of Anti-slavery Germans.
How they went from being on the right side of history, to Nazis is a whole other discussion.
(Edited for spelling).
The religious rejects of Europe came in mass to America...who favored morality and judgement from a higher power rather than authoritarian powers.
And not religious so don't take it as me giving false praise...but that's the low down on why German Americans and those left in Germany were opposed ideological...
you are talking like every German was a nazl in WW2 ; which makes as much sense as saying most Russian want Ukraine to be destroyed . LMAO... In reality , the overwhelming majority of Germans were againts the Nazl party and many fleed the country after they rose into power . Also thousands of officers were threatened with getting their families killed if they didn't followed orders... for Americans is easier to picture an entire country being evil,
instead of using common sense...
The fact that the atrocities were the result of the hundreds of degenerates that sat in power
The nazi point was more based off religion, no?
not all germans were Nazis
@@vinnicinhus44 Christian church split in Germany during the Nazi regime. Nazis installed loyal priests in the highest ranks. A lot of resistance was motivated by the christian faith. I wouldnt say that religion had a huge influence on the nazis taking over.
You don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for you guys to watch this. This is a masterpiece.
I like the way u react boy..
@@vkdeen7570 I like the way you comment boy…
@@vkdeen7570 😂
honestly i need an answer, why the fuck have you been waiting for these 2 to watch this movie? or any other fucking movie in existence? what gets you clowns off watching over people watch a movie? 46 minutes of your life is gone because of this video.
Jen is absolutely right, James remar (dexters dad) played multiple characters in this film!
Yup took me YEARS to find that out and I thought I knew everything about this film
Yep! It's an old western trope to re-use actors for different characters in the same movie.
@@Colphinnot a trope more the fact the had to because there wasn’t many actors so out of the need they did it
Wrong on this one Holden, the actor Jen pointed out, Dexter's dad, does in fact play 2 different characters in this movie including the one in the beginning
I didn't even remember that he did until Jen mentioned it.
Surely you mean Ajax, from The Warriors.
(Yea I know he plays Dexter’s dad too)
I always call him Samantha's lover Richard from Sex and the City.
He will never not be budget Raiden to me.
@@BLKPHrozty surely you mean raiden from the 10/10 film mortal Kombat annihilation
"we're Americans we really only studied our history and how great we are"🤣🤣🤣 That made my afternoon.
OUCH. That comment cuts sooo DEEP !!! BUT,so true.
I mean we are great, even with our issues.
@@kennethturner364 If by "issues" you mean we used to be pretty damn evil than oh boy, yeah we got a lot of them. But hey we make great movies and music so that kinda cancels everything out I guess...
WTF!?
@@tylermartin5376 For most of my life I thought the same way. Only up until a couple years ago when I started to devote a lot of my time on leaning world history, it made me realise how America actually is. when compared to the rest of the world, even during the time of slavery, not only did slavery in pretty much every part of the world then, but genocide, which is a strong word with a specific definition, was still happening then. when you look at todays world history, we still have child military enslavement in parts of Africa and South America, genocide is still happening in North Korea, China are communistic therefore their people suffer with Classism. And Russia compared to previous mentioned countries isn't as bad, but its still controlled under a scary ruthless leader. and aside from all that, just examining America alone, we know that the richest black are in the western world, we know that america is the biggest country that is highly diverse, holding the most amount of religion practicing and races/cultures. So yes, America has had it's problems, but the compared to the rest of the world, America was the first national country to completely abolish slavery as a written law, no country had done that yet except for Haiti, which is 20x smaller than the U.S. only then did the rest of the world follow suit.
Samuel Jackson's role is historically accurate. There were some house slaves that were so conditioned to protect and love their masters that became the other slaves enemies.
It's all brutally conditioning of an Era I pray we never repeat.
People today are dying and killing in the name of one narcissistic wannabe tyrant who can never admit he’s wrong or ever made a mistake. It’s that same type of mentality of being indoctrinated to passionately fight against your own best interests.
There’s remnants of this even today within our people. There’s always a fine line you walk between our culture and American values that put you in a weird dichotomy sadly. That conditioning was devastating
your left out that some Head House Slaves would later become a Slaver after being given Freedom Papers and Protection/Trust Papers (which basically says even though their Black their Mentality is 100% of a White Slaver) from their owner/past owner
I never took Stevens character as conditioned. It seemed more like a man that found a way to gain power and developed a taste for it. I always saw him as the most dispicable character in a sea of the horrors humanity can produce regardless of race.
Steven wasn't conditioned, he was a cunning piece of shit who maneuvered his way into that role
Here's a little fun fact for y'all: The scene where Ms Lauren is pulled away from the gunshot, it's an homage to old movies, where female characters couldn't be shown getting killed on screen, so they used that trick to go around the rules.
Also, I am jealous of Jen's T-shirt collection.
Knowing that fun fact gives a lot more depth and satire to why we see the blatantly odd direction Ms. Lauren takes when being shot.
So that's why she leaves in that funny way!
Something this film does amazingly is how it frames the violence. The violence committed against the oppressors is over-the-top and even comedic at times, because ultimately it is a revenge fantasy; it didn't happen. The violence committed BY the oppressors (the Mandingo fight, D'Artagnon being ripped apart) is revoltingly realistic, because it DID happen.
One is meant to be fun, the other is a solemn reminder of what people have done to each other.
Never noticed this!
It happened in Haiti
Shows some of humanity is messed up in the head for doing that to people
"You're okay with the N word, right?"
"That's in this movie...?"
I'm ded. ☠️☠️☠️
That's more like "N word - the movie"
I love that this movie basically has 2 endings and uses this to comment on the relationship between characters and their creators/writers.
First Tarantino writes an ending were Django fails and is sent off to the mines. Then Django decides to blow Tarantino up and write his own ending. He refuses to be a slave ever again, even to the man writing his story.
Interesting... Never thought of that. Although, since this is Tarantino, it's right on brand.
I always get distracted with directors being in their own film, but this thought really gives a new meaning to his role, and if intentional then Tarantino really is one of the most creative mofos out there.
@@cmd0113 He's often talked about how sometimes the characters will tell him were the story's going, so I like to think it's intentional.
Jen, that is the same actor from the beginning. A lot of old low budget spaghetti westerns had people playing multiple roles. Kind of a call back to that.
I love the scene when Django is talking to the cowboy and said his name is Django, the D is silent. The cowboy said " I know". That guy is Franco Nero who in the 60s played Django in the spaghetti western of the same name directed by Sergio Corbucci. I though it was a nice homage to Nero and the movie. In Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Tarantino paid homage to Sergio Corbucci when Al Pacino wanted Leonardo DiCaprio to shoot spaghetti westerns with Sergio Corbucci telling Leo that he is the second best director of spaghetti westerns. True, he was the second best behind Sergio Leone. Would love for you to react to Sergio Leone's "The Good, The Bad and that Ugly" possibly one of the greatest westerns of all time
As a black guy, I've been waiting for this video, and y'all didn't disappoint! Well done, love y'all! Don't be afraid to do more films like this!
"He's got a racist face." Best line of the video. Just imagine that on your acting resume!
I believe that description is literally on Walton Goggins resume.
@@popculturewatch8689 True, he doesn't even bother going out for "clean cut guy who you trust immediately"
The Django theme at the beginning is from the original movie from 60s. The older guy that asked Django his name was also Django and he says that the D is silent then he responds I know because he is also Django. One of my favorite meta moments.
Jen: "Title Card"...Holden: "TITLE CARD"!! Good reference to Dead Meat!!
I love the whole thing where Christoph Watz is playing a bounty hunter disguised as a DENTIST and he eventually kills the most evil guy in the movie with the surname CANDY.
Django unchained was the first Tarantino film I watched, and is still one of my favorites. I never get tired of watching it.
As a German
Overall during that time period and even later on it’s less that Germans were not racist in regard to black people and more that exposure and actual run in with black people was very limited to almost non existent for most Germans.
We dealt more with antisemitism and discrimination against gypsies and the likes (obviously) which was quite a thing during the time all over Europe.
More importantly, Germany was the most progressive nation in Europe at the time, this is the time of Hegel and Marx.
@@annaclarafenyo8185 That explains Hilde's German slaveowners.
@@annaclarafenyo8185 marx was a hardcore racist and anti semite. Do some research
@@annaclarafenyo8185 Which is why your fuhrer still demands the entire working class will own nothing and be happy. I'm not sure what is wrong with the authoritarian german psyche.
@@cjh36 There is no authoritarian German psyche, this is a ridiculous myth. The same forces the led to fascist takeover in Germany led to fascist takeover in Brazil or in the USA, the character of the people is irrelevant, only the economic forces are important, in particular, the working class demanding power, and getting tricked by the bourgeoisie into thinking fascist will provide it.
Yes as a black guy I love the fact you two reviewed this was honest! Please do more!
To answer your question regarding racism in Germany in the 1800s, I wouldnt say it was a lot less racist, but in Germany, there were never slaves, and Germans never participated in the slave trade in a noticeable scale. So the contempt Dr. Schultz has for slavery could well have been an attitude shared by a lot of contemporary germans.
aye and although slavery was sadly widespread in the world for a lot of history, I remember it being presented in school like the USA was some pioneer in ending it
lol only later did I learn our country was one of the last to take steps against it
Also it makes a bit of an ironic comparison between Schultz and Candie. The things that push Schultz over the edge are people like Dumas and Wagner being associated with what he views to be a backwards, reprehensible people. He does have an edge of viewing European culture as more enlightened than the brutality of America and he can’t resist severing that connection, sealing his fate. And yet not a hundred years later his own people sink to the same levels of brutality and inhumanity, inspired by the American South and proving Schultz ultimately wrong.
Also a lot of the midwesterners of today (including myself) descended from German immigrants who moved to the Midwest. We’re not perfect up here but I believe that we were slightly more enlightened then the average folk of the time.
@@TheMasonK there a reason some German and Scandinavian move to the Midwest then moving to the South
@@coreylevine8095 probably more reasons than just “we hate those racist bastards down there” 😂 Economic reasons as well.
Worst question to be asked AFTER getting married: "you're OK with the n word, right?" 🤣
😳😳
She definitely heard it before she worry about the damn horse
3:46 😂
The dude’s love for his wife ended up saving him cause he went home after they kept insulting his wife’s work lol
My personal opinion is that this is Tarantino's best film. It has everything: story, visuals, acting, music, plot twists, and strong emotional feelings from anger and hatred to love and even some humor. Hats off to Tarantino for taking on this subject matter that is rarely touched and talked about. I remember when my wife and I went and saw is film in theaters and how awesome it was. Still holds up! Glad you guys enjoyed it.
That bit about Alexandre Dumas is one of the greatest "mic drop" moments ever in film. And I was completely unaware of that tidbit.
As a black man who has loved this channel for years I loved how you reacted to this 💯💯💯 PLEASE DO 12 YEARS A SLAVE 💯💯💯💯💯💯
I love jens reaction when the good ol bloody tarantino finale starts lol
Great analysis of Stephen’s character from Jen. Spot on
The KKK dialogue scene is the funniest shit ever 😂 I think, we all think … the bagz was a nice idea. Not pointing any fingers .. cudda been dun better 😂
The amount of times I say “Next time! Don’t ask me or mine for NOTHIN’ “ in a heavy southern accent is too much to count 😂😂
SO hilarious.
A local critic called it a Monty Python skit as made by Tarantino... And I think that's quite accurate.
@@HoldenHardman NOOOOOO! You’re Supposed To Watch ‘Inglorious Bastards’ Before You Watch This, You Guys Are Doing It Wrong
@@fabian5813 Stop trying to tell people how to watch movies.
Jen's jaw being dropped during that 3rd act is perfect lol. Yeah, this will happen a lot during the Tarantino films
Django Unchained though embellished for the sake of entertainment was incredibly historically accurate. Bounty hunting was one of the primary forms of law enforcement during that period, the depictions of slavery were on point, the fact that there were free blacks in the south is true, black slavers were totally a thing back then, mandingo fights were a regular form of entertainment as well. Overall Tarentino did a great job providing us with a window into some of the darkest days in American History. A great movie that everyone should see at least once and a valuable teaching tool about the history of racism.
Love the movie to death but it's anything but "incredibly historically accurate". Mandigo fights were illegal and not half as common as the movie might make you think, nor openly talked about. What proof do you have for your claims? That's the most common thing said against it's accuracy fyi.
Of all the things to movie gets right, showing that black people existed in the south without being in bondage and that black slavers existed alone are pretty small, no offense. It's not much of a teaching tool though, it's mainly historical entertainment. That's like saying The Good, the Bad and The Ugly is a good teaching tool for the Trans-Mississippi Theater of the Civil War.
From prices to visuals it's anything but accurate, it's literally a spaghetti western. Tarantino admits Mandingo fights were not common but far worse things were likely happening. Bounties were usually for less than $100 and were definitely not "the primary" forms of law enforcement by any means.
Oh this movie is such a good watch, tough as it may be. Excited to see the reactions from the pair of you! Truly though, I hope you don't feel the need to keep walking on eggshells when discussions with rough subjects come up. Gotta be able to talk about subjects to understand them.
I love your wife!! “Is the horse okay?” and “Poor horse!” Is exactly the response she should have!
Holden laughing when Samuel L Jackson screams when Calvin died has me laughing 😂😂😂
I liked how you casually asked your wife "You're ok with the N word, right?" 😂😂
lol I caught that too
14:47 That's Franco Nero, the Original Django, that's why when Foxx says "The D is silent" he says "I know". Nice Cameo there
didn't realise until now how small that tv is
Ayo Tarantino fans, it's finally happening. Thanks Holden for watching this masterpiece 🔥
Dr. Shultz was such a great character and Christoph Waltz played him so well he won the Oscar for that role.
i appreciate the little things you guys said throughout this reaction. you guys said your close to Mississippi so for you guys especially your wife being visibly appalled by a lot gives me hope that this shit will never happen again in this great country of ours. I imagine you guys would have been like the doctor in those times.
Always a good day when the Hardmans upload! ☺🙌
"As Americans we only studied about how great we are" said while watching a movie about black slaves in America...
Sorry, but the best part is the look Jen gives Holden in the beginning when he offers her popcorn from his collector’s edition Star Wars popcorn bucket. U can hear the “omg he’s such a dork….but he’s MY dork. I love it”. 😍 u guys are awesome. Another great video.
The whole movie Jen was being surprised with the gore and Django killing everybody, Holden was just laughing every time a slave owner died 😂
I first saw Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Basterds, and he quickly became one of my favorite actors. Then I saw him in Django Unchained and loved his acting even more.
Just going to add that Hateful Eight should be on the list too! The dialogue and suspense are top notch in that one
Such a classic, legendary actors, good story, cinematography, soundtrack...
horse get its brains blown out, jen “is the horse okay??” 👁👄👁
Jen did a great job dissecting this movie's contents and I really liked hearing her takeaways!
The guy that jen pointed out in the scene where they meet Leo is the same actor that played the slave owner in the beginning
This was an unexpected choice for you guys. It’s definitely one of my favorite movies for many of the qualities that you mentioned. It’s essentially a kickass western, but with a black protagonist in the horrific background of the antebellum south. While discussing the movie, you brought up the question of how one determines if a person is racist or not. First you have to understand that despite our professed values, racism is as American as apple pie. It’s a spectrum that all of us who live in or have been seriously influenced by western societies share.
We see individuals like the villains depicted in Django and say, “Well, I don’t say the n-word or I don’t treat people like that, so I’m obviously not racist.” We exempt ourselves without realizing that those people exist on the extreme end of the racist spectrum. You still can be racist because you simply don’t speak out against the status quo and silently watch or turn a blind eye to the suffering of others.... or you could support leaders and legislation that supports the continued oppression and marginalization of people of color. Racism is not just individual actions it’s also completely integrated into the fabric and history of our society. It won’t substantially change until we become more proactive in teaching the actual history of it in a similar manner the way the Germans did about the Nazis and the Jewish Holocaust.
Very well said👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Oh man... that "Djust finished watching..." at the end is such a groaner Holden. I loved it!
Holden giggling the whole time was the best part :D
I’m so excited for Tarantino films. Inglorious Bastards and Pulp Fiction are the best, but Once upon a Time in Hollywood is actually my favourite because it’s full of hope and slightly more stress free with all the Tarantinoisms throughout.
Yea, I loved Once Upon a Time
In my opinion, this movie and the inglorious bastards are Tarantino's best movies...masterpieces
And both movies contain Cristoph Waltz. Coincidence, I think not :D
@@TheRealHappyHuntsman yes, and it's a violent contrast of different characters that they both make, in Django we love him but in Bastards we hate him. amazing actor
I haven't seen Basterds yet, but Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill are mine.
@@Rorujin Mine are:
The Hateful Eight
Django Unchained
Once Upon A Time in Hollywood
And Inglorious Basterds
I like all of QT's movies, but those are my top 4.
Almost dropped my phone in the sink when this video popped up! I needed this reaction!
A+ actor list. Perfectly cast. It doesn't get much better than this.
After being a massive Tarantino fan for years I finally watched Django for the first time last year, I’ve seen it twice since then and its beginning to become my favourite Tarantino film. Pulp Fiction is a classic and Inglorious Bastards is such a great WW2 era film. Cannot wait to see the reaction videos for those 2 films.
You were a massive fan of his and it took you 9 years before you watched this? 😲
@@tapoemt3995 didn't have an opportunity to watch it till i purchased the bluray
Pulp Fiction is unbelievably overrated!
James Remar does play two roles in this movie. He's in the beginning and in the black bowler.
awe man Jenn is a riot..
Man gets blasted away, another is seriously injured before getting exploded himself..
"OH NO THE HORSE!"
lmaoooo
I love how your big doggo is laying on your lap like nothing lol!!!
IMO this is Tarantino's best movie yet.
That’s a helluva FIRST movie for Jen to see from Tarantino. I would have started her on Kill Bill regardless of the poll.
I hope she still watches Kill Bill, she would love The Bride.
I’m scared for her starting on this haha. The only worse way to start would have been Hateful 8!! 😂. Don’t get me wrong I love DJANGO. Just not as an introduction 🤦🏾♂️
how is this a bad introduction to Tarantino?
Did you actually watch her reaction lol.
O
I can see Holden now every time he comes home and Jen is home "Hey little trouble maker..."🤣🤣
Love how it now says “wife watches” instead of “girlfriend watches” CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Exceptional film. Looks beautiful. Dialogue is incredible as is the soundtrack (both as usual for a QT film). Fantastic performances across the board. He has an incredible ability to touch the nerve on sensitive issues in such a stylised and non preachy way that make for incredible food for thought and entertainment at the same time. QT is a genius filmmaker in my opinion and I hope he carries on and doesn’t call time on his directing career as he keeps threatening to do.
The Clone Wars reactions are so good, please keep uploading them
I love that you two will be watching some of Tarantino's best work. He is one of my all time favorites. He really has a way of building worlds and fascinating stories.
Fun fact! Tarantino wanted The Hateful 8 to be a continuation of Django's story, but decided to go in a different direction. Jamie Foxx as Django was going to be Samuel L. Jackson's character
I know you haven't mentioned it but the Hateful Eight is also a really good movie. I think it's worth a watch just for the dialogue alone.
Don't know if you know this or not Holden, but the guy who asks Django to spell his name, and says, "I know." After Django tells him the D is silent, is the guy who played Django in the original movie.
Lot people don’t realize Slavery and the Wild West took place at the same time
The laugh at 3:45 may be one of the funniest moments from any of your videos and I don't even know why it made me laugh so much
Love your whole channel, Holden! From the comic/religion analysis, to “Friend Watches” to “Girlfriend Watches”. Call that RANGE. You guys react perfectly and are really good at knowing when you should add commentary, or not
Anyway when I showed my girlfriend this movie for the first time, she felt stressed by the amount of N words dropped 😂 just consistently audibly gasping, followed by her temporary discomfort towards Leonardo DiCaprio following the movie 😂 she understands it was acting. It was just hearing it dropped in a movie multiple times maliciously and it was crazier because it hadn’t even been 5 years since it was made
You guys should definitely do the Kill Bills, as well as Reservoir Dogs, and Death Proof. I think they’re all really underrated within Tarentino’s filmography, and would be fun to react to especially Death Proof. I will say too my preferred way to watch Death Proof is within the context of Grindhouse, so I like to watch the whole 3 hours of Grindhouse with the fake trailers and all
A reaction to the complete Grindhouse experience would be awesome. I can imagine Jen's reaction's to the fake trailers.
I just need to mention the amazing t-shirt your wife selected for this, bravo.
She's right, the guy that played Mr Pooch (Candys bodyguard) did play Mr Speck at the start of the movie
I watched this movie with my father a few years back and it was phenomenal
Also give credit to Kerry Washington for going with Leo when he rubs his blood all over her face. It's absolutely disgusting but really adds to the scene. Plenty of actors would've been brought out of the scene, but Leo clearly had well placed trust in her attitude and just went for it.
FYI he doesn't rub his real blood on her face, he would not do that and they would've stopped him if he did. He cuts his hand for real in the shot before that and then they cut the shot and cleaned up his hand and were inspired to do the shot of rubbing blood on her face and added fake blood for that.
@@mattland3924 yeah I didn't think it was his actual blood. But part of what I read was after he cut himself they had to keep the hand bloody for continuity and him wiping blood on her face was improved. Even if it's fake blood, it's really gross but Kerry was game and the scene was great
Love that you all loved this! It’s definitely an uncomfortable one but also very hilarious. You all approached the subject matter with respect and I know I really appreciated that🙏🏾❤️
Your commentary about our history and what we have been raised to believe was enough to get me to smack the like button. It gives me hope, because living in Eastern Kentucky does not provide much in the way of that. Great reaction, thanks for the entertainment!
I’m getting married in 10 days! My bride to be and I love watching you and Jen! You guys are goals! As a wedding gift you should make this the Comment of the day 😏
Congratulations! We hope you both have an amazing wedding! ❤️
Thank you so much!!
As a movie lover I absolutely adore this movie. As an Aussie I want to punch QT for that accent. However, as human being I'm both appalled by the treatment we see of the slaves and chilled by the idea that no movie is going to come close to the true horror.
yeah that accent is bloody outrage :)
mmm. I think this is as close as you can come on cinema without getting something like NC-17 or even worse, banned in places. While it's not showing everything, it shows a good amount of what slaves had to fear and go through. A lot of the stuff is pretty historically accurate as far as what I've read up on and comparisons.
So excited for Pulp Fiction and Inglorious Bastards two of my favourite movies of all time. Keep up the great work you two we truly appreciate the great content!
I like watching Holden’s face when the scenes we know, is coming.
Holden you always drop videos when I really need something to watch. I seen almost all of your videos and I haven’t been disappointed. Keep pushing bro.
Bro legit just happened to me
I love you.
I was a little confused by your wife’s insistent expression of empathy for the horse-an animal, but her unexpressed or lack of expressed empathy for the slaves at the beginning of the movie……but her breakdown at the end was somewhat redemptive or at least showed some empathy for the plot of the characters in the movie. Movie suggestion:
-12 Years A Slave
The movie won an Oscar, it is the polar opposite of Django so brace yourself. It is historically accurate to the T, because it is based on the autobiography written by the main character of the movie in 1858-Solomon Northrop. It is brutally honest, but you will still enjoy it just as much as this movie.
Jen provided a fantastic review. I think this may be your best critique!
I’ve been waiting for this vid for awhile let’s gooooo
Helll yeahhhh this is my favorite Tarantino movie. Jamie Foxx is so damn good
I saw this movie in the theatre when it released. We were sitting beside a young black couple. I've never felt so conflicted while laughing at a few of the jokes they threw out there loll
At the time tho, people weren't that sensitive. The young couple laughed out loud for most of the movie and tbh... I'm pretty sure most people outside of Twitter still can tell what's right and what's wrong.
Lol only Twitter is that fucked up... Real interaction are always good and most people are understanding... You rarely meet Twitter people in real life.... Maybe they are stuck in their basement lol
Its actually called context
OMG I’ve been waiting for this one forever!!!!
The Marshall in the black suit in the first town they come across is Tom Wopat, aka Luke Duke from The Dukes of Hazard.
Christoph Waltz' character in this film might be my favorite character over the past 20 years. A brilliant portrayal of an amazing character.
