Last week the first trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s slave movie Django Unchained dropped and we thought that might be it until it comes out in December. Nope! Today a new international trailer revealing more footage and more of the plot has hit the web.
In this new trailer Leonardo Dicaprio, who plays slave owner Calvin Candie, shows us that Candie buys and sells slaves to satisfy his blood thirst for prize fighting, while setting trained slaves to fight to the death.
There is one slave that escapes the wrath and punishment of his cruel master and that’s Stephen – played by Samuel L. Jackson. This new trailer gives a first look at how Jackson is going to look with full make-up on – quite different from how we’re used to seeing him. The dialogue between Candie and Stephen are said to be some of the movie’s most hilarious and thought provoking moments.
The new video reveals more of the controversial aspects of the film, something that didn’t make the domestic trailer before. Why?
Starring Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo Dicaprio, and Samuel L. Jackson, Django Unchained hits theaters Christmas Day.
is there something we haven’t learned about slavery that’s been missed? Will this movie show the effects of slavery from then until the 21st century? Will this movie show a link between the bible where Noah was seen naked by his kid and 400 years of being black was placed on Ham who went Ham? Will this movie show how inventions and freedoms were stolen from black folks where white folks ancestors are rich to this day? Or is this a movie with an all black cast with a Brad Pitt type in the starring role to sell the movie?
Say the movie did do all of what you say, What then? You know, you could make that movie yourself. You might win all kinds of awards too. I will be looking out for it.
Lighten thee fk up. It looks like it’s gonna be good.
I thinks is going to be sooo good.
Mommie, I’m scared!
i can’t wait until comes out. it actually takes the slave narrative into nat turner territory (a little bit). I’m looking forward to seeing how this new version of Django will extract revenge and be reunited with his wife. This is not gonna be the great white american hero stuff that we usually see. This time the focal point is Django and his need to save his wife (who is black) and be free.
Good point.
