I hear it is a great movie, but from friends who heard from friends. I can't see it yet, and neither can anyone in Mexico as it comes out next friday unfortunately... Anyway, anyone who has seen the movie out there? If so, could you please share your opinion? It would be much appreciated. Thanks!
If you peruse the movie thread near the end I think a couple of guys saw it. Said it was great. One I think even saw it twice?
Sick flick. Waltz is awesome. Leo is awesome. Foxx is pretty good. The movie is delievers. Would watch again/10
There are 3 directors of which I'll watch any movie they made repeated times, and never fail to like every one of them. Quentin Tarantino, The Coen Bros, and Sam Peckinpah. Django for me is almost on a par for enjoyable viewing with Inglourious Basterds. I've seen the latter about 10 times. With both movies, Christoph Waltz makes it for me. He is a brilliant actor. Never heard of him before IB. Some say Waltz has become Tarantino's muse, so I'd expect this isn't the last we've seen of him in a QT directed movie. To sum it up, Django is a superb movie and well worth seeing multiple times.
Congratulations to the superbly talented Christoph Waltz for winning his second Oscar for best supporting actor in Django Unchained. He bested some formidable competition with heavy hitters like De Niro, Tommy Lee Jones and Alan Arkin also nominated, not to mention Philip Seymour Hoffman. As most of you know, he won his first Oscar 3 years ago for his role of Col Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds.
Great movie, if it didn't cost an arm and a leg to go to movies nowadays I would go see it a few more times.
I would too. Also it is a 60 mile round trip to the closest cinema. When it is on DVD, I'll watch it plenty more times. I happened to be in Thailand when Inglourious Basterds came out in Aug 2009. I went to the cinema 4 times to see it. Once a week for it's 4 week run. Bought the DVD and seen it more times than I can count too. I'm pretty sure I'll rack up the number of times viewed for Django too.
imdb.com ranks it now as the #41 all time movie. This based on ratings voted on by the members of imdb. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1853728/ It will probably drop a little over the next year, because most movies usually do, though not all. I'm guessing it still holds strong in the top 100, if not top 75 even a couple years down the road. Inglourious Basterds has been out for 3.5 yrs and is still #112 all time. It did not climb to that ranking. It started stronger and then leveled off to that rank, as I recall. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361748/
It's fantastic. Waltz is incredible. Leo is a great bad guy. Pay attention to the scene where Leo cuts his hand at the dinner table. That's not fake blood, he continued the scene in character and even improvised a bit. It's fantastic.
Leonardo DiCaprio doesn't have a bad movie he's in in my opinion. Django was awesome. Not sure whether I liked Waltz better in Django or Inglorious Basterds - he's fantastic in both. Django and Zero Dark Thirty are the last two movies I've seen. Both were outstanding. 10/10 for me.
Of all the movies that were up for the best picture Oscar this year, on imdb.com, Django Unchained is doing by far the best among the voting members there. #41 of all time currently. I think only Life of Pi is also in the imdb top 250 all time movies among those up for the best picture Oscar. It is #186 all time currently. Zero Dark Thirty, Argo, et al, none of them have been voted into the top 250. Usually movies do not make huge upward jumps in their rankings the longer they remain in the 250 or are just outside it. Best Leonardo movie IMO is What's Eating Gilbert Grape.
django was very good no doubt, agree that the runtime of almost 3 hours never gets boring at some point
I can understand people using them, just like I can understand people writing checks for everything, but it doesn't mean it doesn't pain me to see it. And I fully realize I am in a minority position, and that's ok, it's just a silly opinion (mine is silly I mean).
