Honing vital hunting skills, his one goal is to find and rescue the wife (Kerry Washington) he lost to the slave trade long ago. When their search ultimately leads to Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), the infamous and brutal proprietor of "Candyland," they arouse the suspicion of Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson), Candie's trusted house slave. Now their moves are marked and they must stay one step ahead of his treacherous organization. Film trivia and background info, via IMDb: Will Smith, Idris Elba, Chris Tucker, Terrence Howard, Michael Kenneth Williams, and Tyrese Gibson were all considered for the role of Django. Quentin Tarantino actually wrote the role with Smith in mind, and Smith's agents and manager wanted him to accept it, but Smith ultimately decided to pass. Tarantino then offered the part to Jamie Foxx, who accepted. According to critic Alex Ross, the alliance between Django (Jamie Foxx) and Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) is "not as absurd" as audiences might believe, because in the 1840s, many German revolutionaries and progressives left Europe for the U.S., where they often became active in the anti-slavery movement. Leonardo DiCaprio, whose role marked the first time he played a villain since The Man in the Iron Mask (1998), was uncomfortable with how horrible and explicitly racist his character was. However, Quentin Tarantino convinced him to be as menacing as possible, saying that if he didn't take it all the way, people would hold it against him forever. In an interview, Quentin Tarantino stated that originally, the mandingo fight scene, and the scene with the dogs, were longer and more violent. He said he felt like he was going to "traumatize" the audience, so he cut both scenes down. Christoph Waltz dislocated his pelvic bone while training for his part. He alluded to the injury backstage after winning the Golden Globe, stating, "Riding a horse wasn't much of a challenge. Falling off was." Waltz's injury necessitated that Dr. King Schultz's early scenes on horseback be accommodated by a horse-drawn wagon instead. The quilt that is on the bed, onto which Broomhilda is thrown, is an Underground Railroad style. Myth has it that slaves would use quilts to communicate, and the Underground Railroad style was saying to "pack up and go". The name "Django" is a Romani name, meaning "I awake". It was very popular amongst musicians and jazz-enthusiasts for having been the adopted name of Jean-Baptiste Reinhardt (1910-1953), a Romani-Belgian jazz-guitarist known as Django Reinhardt, whose story was told in Django (2017). The film was shot in one hundred thirty days. This was Quentin Tarantino's longest shooting schedule for a single film. Leonardo DiCaprio was injured twice, once during rehearsal, and once during filming. Once with a hammer that broke and hit him in the head. For filming, the hammer that he handled was made of foam. The second is an accidental glass broken while filming the dinner-scene, which was real, and caused DiCaprio to bleed. In the beginning of the film where Dr. King Schultz frees Django, one of the slave owners calls one of the slaves "Blueberry". This is a reference to the comic "Blueberry" made by Jean "Moebius" Giraud and Jean-Michel Charlier. Blueberry takes place during the American old west, where the main character starts out as a racist, but after he is saved by an African-American, he becomes a gunman who fights against all kinds of discrimination. The fifteenth biggest grossing film of 2012. Kerry Washington, who played Broomhilda, sought to bring authenticity to her performance in several ways. The actor playing her overseer used a fake whip, but Washington insisted the lashings really hit her back. And to dramatize her punishment inside an underground, coffin-size metal container, she and Tarantino agreed she would spend time barely clothed in the "hot box" before the filming began so the feeling of confinement would be as realistic as possible. Holds the all-time record for most uses of the "n" word (or some variation) in a movie, with 116 uses. The music where Django confronts Big John Brittle (M.C. Gainey) and Lil Raj Brittle (Cooper Huckabee) is from Django (1966), when the main antagonist in the latter movie is using Mexican civilians as target practice. Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) reminds Monsieur Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio) that his slave D'Artagnan (Ato Essandoh) is named for the hero of Alexandre Dumas' novels, and that Dumas was (one-quarter) Black. Waltz and DiCaprio have appeared in adaptations of those novels: Waltz played Cardinal Richelieu in The Three Musketeers (2011) and DiCaprio played King Louis XIV and his identical twin brother Phillippe in The Man in the Iron Mask (1998). Franco Nero, the lead actor from Django (1966), the movie which inspired this one, has a cameo as the owner of the slave that fights against a slave owned by Calvin Candie (the screenplay gives his character the name Amerigo Vassepi). After being asked to spell his name, Django explains, "The 'D' is silent." Nero replies, "I know," The final showdown with Django and the hillbilly trackers was written to be entirely different. Mr. Stonesipher, the head of the trackers, was originally to be a stronger, and more threatening villain to Django. There was a scene written in the final draft of the script with Django killing the trackers with an axe. He then faces Mr. Stonesipher, and the two engage in hand-to-hand combat, with Stonesipher nearly defeating Django, but eventually losing. First western to win the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay since Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), and the first to win an Award for Acting (and in the same category) since Unforgiven (1992). This movie, along with True Grit (2010), repeated a rare pattern, where twenty years earlier, two westerns (the other being Dances with Wolves (1990)) were nominated for Best Picture two years apart.
