Bericht zu einem ersten Szenenscreening: sehr hart, sehr lustig,
sehr Tarantino und schon jetzt ein paar unvergessliche
Momente
The big surprise? How funny this potentially controversial Western
has turned out to be. In particular, Leonardo DiCaprio seems to be
having the time of his life dropping N-bombs and smiling rotted
teeth as plantation owner Calvin Candie, whom freed slave Jamie
Foxx and bounty hunter Christoph Waltz must defeat in order to save
Foxx’s wife Kerry Washington. You’ll get a periwinkle-suited Foxx
shooting lumpy blood chunks out of racist hicks (and an innocent
snowman in one scene), and you’ll laugh! You’ll get Don Johnson
dressed as Colonel Sanders! And you’ll get an instant catchphrase
from a cooly underplaying Foxx, when he’s asked his name: “Django.
The D is silent.”
The guy asking Foxx his name there is played by Franco Nero, who
starred in the Django series of films produced decades ago. Quint
at AICN notes that, and also expresses surprise at the amount of
humor in the movie. He also said,
Again, this thing just looks like a ton of fun and while I was
already excited for the movie I’m not officially giddy. All the
location work makes the film look huge, Foxx is at the top of his
game it appears, Waltz is loveable, funny and dangerous all at once
and it just feels like everybody is having a blast.
Anne Thompson notes that there are 62 days of shooting left on
Django Unchained, and so it isn’t likely to hit the fall festival
circuit. The film already has a release date — Christmas Day of
this year — and so the Weinsteins are likely to just let it wait
until then. She also says,
Weinstein Co. is selling this as a bang-up western, packed with
physical comedy and bloody action and hell-bent revenge. And yes,
it looks like a classic widescreen Sergio Leone western, even if
the setting is New Orleans and Mississippi two years before the
Civil War. (The music on the trailer ranged from classic Johnny
Cash to James Brown. No Ennio Morricone here. As yet.)… Tarantino
is taking the revenge western to a whole new level as the two
bounty hunters shoot their way through the unsuspecting South. It
looks like the first Leone-esque section of “Inglourious Basterds,”
and it’s about fighting injustice, except that this time it’s not
Brad Pitt against the Nazis in World War II–it’s an angry black man
getting his own back from racist white southerners before the Civil
War… This is not your ordinary movie to sell overseas or
domestically — or to the Academy. (I will not be surprised if the
movie gets pushed back out of 2012.) But when Tarantino breaks the
rules with style and panache, critics and audiences follow.
And there are very positive echoes from Twitter:
Django Unchained looks f’n badass…7 minute trailer ending with
Jamie Foxx shooting his pistol to James Brown ‘Payback’ “The D is
Silent”

Harvey Weinstein just presented 7 mins of Django Unchained. Looks
ace. We’re tipping Fritz the nodding horse to be a breakout star.

DJANGO gets the most whoops. Plenty of blood, plenty of laughs.
Looks like it will be the Cristophe Waltz show. “The D is silent.”
