Yeah, well this was set during a time where that was the common word. It's funny because by the middle of the movie i was pretty desensitized towards the word. I think you're supposed to feel uncomfortable because a big focus of the film is on slaves and racial tension between whites and blacks during an "uncivilized" yet still so civilized time in American history.
I wondered why any black man would want Jamie Foxx's role, but by the middle of the movie I was thinking WHO WOULDNT want his role!? Django is fucking awesome. Sam Jackson's character was super awesome as well and you really got the whole... scope of racial tensions. Whites on white, whites on black, blacks on blacks, and everything in-between with social dynamics. It's a really fun film about a lot of ugly subject matter.
I totally agree! It's ridiculous, cus if you think about it, it was incredibly accurate to the heirarchy of groups of people, EVEN DOWN TO THE WAY THE BLACK SLAVES VIEWED EACHOTHER IN POSITION AND HOW THEY WERE NEXT TO WHITE FOLK >__<; It's insane how ridiculously well done this movie was x.x I felt all types of LOL's and uncomfortable, as well as all types of suspense and vdmbfdadfkjd too flipping awesome x.x. Sam's character was soooooo well done, ngl I thought of uncle Ruckus from boondocks lol.
He needs to look at all the things he did with this movie and make another amazing movie like this, WESTERN STYLE WITH BLACK PEOPLE AND IT'S ACTUALLY WELL DONE!? THE HELL YOU PREACH!!!!
