The reason Decaprio's hand is bloody is because Vigo Mortensen actually broke his foot kicking that helmet, then Marissa Tomei won an Oscar for it.

leonardo smashed a crystal glass when he slammed his hand down on the table .. but he STAYED in character and they kept rollin :) the blood adds to the scene, its very professional stuff :)

Yes, so glad you understood the importance of Django gaining freedom on his own as opposed to his mentor's aid at the beginning. Also Stephen was the main villain of the film, the one Django needed to stop, not Candie, who was King's antagonist.

Christoph Waltz got the Oscar for this movie, but you could've given an award to any of the main actors. Leo, Sam, and Jamie all were FANTASTIC! Another good western that Tarantino made is The Hateful 8. A lot of people think it's his weakest film, but I personally love it.

Sam Jackson was absolutely robbed of an Academy Award nomination for this film. Imagine how tough it must be to play a character like that. It gives me chills every time.

The guy in the bar who says "I know", when Django said the "D" is silent, played Django decades ago

The handshake scene really drives home the sadistic nature of Calvin, how he’s truly evil in a vindictive and poisonous way. By that point he’s pegged that Shultz is a principled man, so wants that last moment over him. Wants to make him submit to his sadism, as he knows it’ll make him sick to shake his hand. He wants to wring out every last moment of torture he can from the interaction. Thankfully for us it’s a shake too far and his insatiable lust for the pain in others leads to his ultimate downfall.

This film is actually a tribute to a 1966 italian film directed by Sergio Corbucci which is called Django which is a spaghetti Western. When this film was released it was considered one of the most violent in the history of cinema and this is the reason why it is still one of the most important films of the spaghetti Western genre. Franco Nero is the protagonist of this movie and he also makes a cameo as Amerigo Vassepi(the slaver who asks him what his name is and when he spells it he replies "I know") Fun fact about him and my family: my grandmother sewed the dress for the baptism of his nephew😂

Fun fact Leo actually broke his toe when he kicked the orcs helmet!

The 'Natalie Gold 2023 Bingo' card was impressive on several levels. Well done, Cameron.

One of the best parts in this movie was when dr Shultz shoots the sheriff and then they’re in a standoff against the Marshall and the entire town and dr Shultz explains himself and Django out of the situation with ending that the Marshall owes him $200. Gets me everytime.

Django Unchained is probably my favorite Quentin Tarantino movie, and among my favorite films, period. I think everyone did an excellent job with it and I can't praise it enough. That moment at the end when Django turns with the biggest grin in the universe and the smoldering ruins of Candyland behind him has to be one of my favorite moments in cinema history. 10/10 film for me.

The song in the beginning is the theme from the original django in 1966 which you should definitely check out. Franco Nero, the actor who played Django in 66 makes a cameo in this one. He’s the guy who asks Django if he can spell his name and then says he knows the D is silent.

Any time Christoph Waltz feels like winning an Oscar, he goes to Tarantino. :)

Fun fact, Jamie Fox is a good horse rider. I love the scene at the end when he's doing tricks with the horse. And that scene of him riding bear back. So Awesome

What's crazy to me about Steven (Sam Jacksons character), is at the end once Django killed Miss Lara and all the other whites were dead, he throws his cane on the ground and is suddenly no longer the geriatric and tremor ridden old man. We saw glimpses of it when he was alone with naked upside down Django that he actually speaks pretty well. But even Steven was playing Calvin; he wasn't some helpless man, it was all an act.

This is arguably my favorite Tarantino movie! The balance of action, comedy and sass is perfect, how can you not love that smile on Djangos face at the end

I always appreciated that Sam Jackson actually played a real character is this film. And did an incredible job. So often he's just playing a version of his own persona.

Love your reactions. The flowers you referenced in the Brittle Brothers scene that were splattered with blood is actually unpicked cotton.

An absolute Love letter to 70's Spaghetti Western. You can see that Quentin had so much fun with this movie. Some Movie trivia: -Candy's hand is bloody in the dinner scene cause Leo actually broke one of the glasses while slamming his hand on the table. But instead of stoping the scene, he kept his acting in character, and they kept rolling and keeping it in the scene. -The Italian man who lost his Mandingo fighter Luigi Vs Candy, and asking Django how he spelt his name, was the ACTUAL Django from the 70's movie...Django, Franco Nero, he was the man playing the character back then and the interaction between the two is an Hommage to the OG movie. -Reportedly Dicaprio was really uncomfortable saying "Negro/Nigger" all the day on set for the scenes, till Samual laughed and told him "come on its just Tuesday for us black folks, man up kid" -It has become kinda customary that the Hero/Cool guy never looks at an explosion, he always turn his back and walks away, cause he's "too cool" for this, it has over the years become a common Movie trope. And Quentin being Quentin was like "Fuck this, imma have Django who's cool as fuck, LOOK , at the explosion with sunglasses on at night!" and thats what he did.

Natalie, if you haven't seen it yet don't leave Jackie Brown out of the Quentin Tarantino conversation. That was a dope ass movie as well!

I love the content she’s been posting recently! Arcane, just started the boys, just watched Avatar and now this great movie!

A series that you must watch is Justified. It has the actor who plays Billy Crash from this movie, and it's seriously one of the best dramatic series I've ever seen. The dialogue is just amazing, and Timothy Olyphant inhabits Rayland Givens.

That's my favorite movie of all time. Everyone played their roles perfectly! The pacing was spot on, the music, everything!

"DJANGO" (1966) from Sergio Corbucci is one of the most famous italian western. Franco Nero, the original "Django" appeared in the scene with the brutal "Mandingo-fight". In the scene with the skull, Leo DiCaprio really cut his hand on the broken glass, but he kept on playing the scene and Tarantino used exactly this take!

They shot that opening credits scene in Alabama Hills in the Eastern Sierras of California. A lot of movies and commercials have been filmed there and is a very popular camping area. I have camped at the very location where Dr. Schultz and Django sat talking about is his wife Brunhilde for the first time.

Leonardo actually smashed a glass with his hand, and actually started to bleed during filming. He is so talented honestly.

"I saw that jump cut. Don't tell me it didn't happen, I saw it happen!" - Nero, Star Trek 2009 Also, those weren't flowers. That was cotton.

I heard that Leo cut his hand during the dining room scene. Him being the pro that he is he finished the scene and then got medical attention.

Man I love this movie Jamie Foxx really did kill this role and the thing that the character was actually originally written for Will Smith who turned down the role. I mean Quentin Tarantino originally created this character to be centered around the actor Will Smith but after he read the script he wasn't was not even interested then Jamie Foxx audition for the role and he ended up getting it and thank God he did because he killed it. And Leonardo DiCaprio was really good I was really hating his character in this movie and Samuel Jackson God he is a legend Definitely this is one of Quentin Tarantino's best movies

The bingo card was my favorite part of this video, well done Cameron 😂

This is a movie that's a great example of having a surprise 4th act. Not many movies can pull it off, but Django: Unchained does a great job

"I like the way you die, boy." Epic line

Love those days when new YT videos just line up perfectly on a silver platter for me to watch.

I love how Stephen was actually the one in control the entire time, evident by him being the one sitting in the Master’s chair, and Calvin sitting in the “guest” chair. Also, Calvin having a sort of “apprentice” relationship with Stephen behind closed doors. Masterful work by Quintin Tarantino.

That scene when Leo cuts his hand and still manages to maintain his composure and stay in character is a testament to true acting skill. You could see the other actors startled and worried for him but remarkably they followed his lead and continued with the scene. QT really knows how to pick his talent and he’s renowned for a reason.

This movie has one of my favorite cinematography shots, the color palette of this movie (specially the snow scene ) is so gorgeous !!! I was laughing a lot of this reaction 💙❤️

That Blood on Leo's hands was real. He actually hurt himself when slamming his hands on the table but kept going and the scene was improvised.

“Why the need for such graphic violence?” Because it’s so much fun Nat! Get it! 😂

thank you for acknowledging black history month and great choice for a black history month fun film! always appreciate your content and allyship . this black film nerd is always excited for a new video from you!

Its funny you said "you'd have such a hard time acting like you like this" There is a bit of trivia around conversations Dicaprio had with Jackson and how saying the N word so often towards him and the way he had to treat black people made him uncomfortable. Jackson told him to get a grip, "it's just another tuesday for us man". From that day on, Leo no longer spoke to Jackson outside of the set and internalized his character to a stupid degree.

Love when you post and it's something that I didn't expect but absolutely love!

Its should be known that I liked the video specifically because of how much work Cameron put in on Natalie Gold Bingo 2023.

Sammi Rotibi plays the guy who gives Django dirty looks on the march to Candyland, and who, as Django rides off with the LeQuint Dickey dynamite to get his wife and his vengeance, has that slow smile of absolute respect for Django creep across his face. It's a minor miracle of a performance, and proof that there is no such thing as a small role.

21:37 Leonardo DiCaprio cut his hand for real in this scene. That part was not scripted. Since Leo staid in character and Tarantino liked his reaction to the injury they left the shot in the movie.

FUN FACT: THIS IS A DAMN FINE FILM. ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY ADORE YOU & YOUR CONTENT.

A soldiers story is a great Black History month movie ( if you havent already seen it). When I saw this in the theatre, I immediately realized that Sam Jack was the one that ran the plantation and had been doing so for three generations.

I’m just happy that you’re enjoying uploading videos for us to enjoy :)

I adore your content, absolutely love it when a new upload drops.

Cheers to you, Cameron. Thoroughly enjoyed reading that bingo card 😂

Not that anyone's asking, but yes, Alexandre Dumas was black. His paternal grandmother was a slave bought by a French Marquis to be his concubine while he was living in Saint-Dominigue, he had two daughters with her and a son called Thomas-Alexandre Dumas. When the marquis went back to France he sold her and their daughters, also sold their son temporarily but bought him back shortly afterwards and took him with him to France. In France Thomas-Alexandre was officially freed and given he education of a 'gentleman'. He had a falling out with his father when he joined the army and started at the bottom rather than use his fathers title, and he ended up taking the surname Dumas because that was apparently his mothers surname - which apparently signified that she was property of a farm. During the French Revolution Thomas-Alexandre Dumas became a lieutenant in the Legion de Saint-Georges/Free American Horse Legion (American as in the Americas not the US) under Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint Georges, a similarly freed son of a French planter and a house-slave of Afro-Carribean descent who was granted the title Chevalier because of his skills as a violinist, composer, conductor, and fencer (who'll be getting something of his story told in the upcoming movie Chevalier) who was a Colonel in the legion. Some time later Dumas became the first man of African descent to rise to the position of General in the French Army, and at one point had 50,000 men under his command. A victory lead by him against the Austrian army lead to the Austrians referring to him as 'der Schwarzer Teufel'/'the black devil'. He married a Caucasian woman, daughter of an innkeeper and had two daughters (one of whom died in infancy) and a son, Alexandre Dumas. He spoke out against Napoleon, and when Napoleon became emperor of France he reinstated a lot of the race and slavery laws that the Revolution had ended which made life difficult for Dumas and his family because of the now reinstated laws about interracial marriages. He was imprisoned in Southern Italy for two years and Napoleon didn't give him he back-pay for those years. When General Dumas died of stomach cancer Napoleon refused to pay his widow the pension promised to wives of high ranking officers, so she and her children lived in poverty and Alexandre Dumas didn't get a proper secondary education. As we know, Alexandre Dumas went on to become one of the most popular novelists of his time (in fact possibly of all time) and his novels have been adapted into movies since movies were first invented. It's believed (though never proven) that he based some of his leading characters (ie Count of Monte Cristo) on the stories surrounding and what few memories he had of his father. So yes, Alexandre Dumas was black.

Everything about this was so fun. The Bingo card was fantastic too!

Happy Valentine’s Day Nat .. This movie is such a treat! And it’s my birthday month so even sweeter! 🔥

Wow one of my fav movies, so happy you’re watching ❤

I’ve never been more excited to watch a Natalie gold video

Fun fact: I grew up all throughout school with an actor who played one of the slaves. Marcus Henderson. He’s also been in Whiplash, Pete’s Dragon and now making more of a name for himself with comedy roles on TV.

I remember watching this in the cinema back in the day, and I totally lost it when that final song came on. This is a German thing, I have to say, because the movie, this song in this movie is a reference to, is one Italian Western starring the most iconic duo in movie history, at least when you are a German between the ages of 20 and 50. "They Call Me Trinity" starring Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill. Having this movie and these guys basically being acknowledged by someone like Tarrantino in this epic way was so otherworldly at the time. Still kinda is, thinking about it.

Oh yes! Been waiting for this one.

Fun fact: Tarantino dreamed of doing a Django/Zorro crossover, and finally got his wish when he & legendary Comic Book Creator Matt Wagner co-wrote together a Django/Zorro comic, published by Dynamite Entertainment (same publishers as The Boys)

such a comfy channel to watch, I love it.

One of my favorite films, I saw this in the theater four times

I'm very excited to see how Natalie handles this one :)

13:26 Just like to point out that even though the club is called the 'Cleopatra Club' that bust in the main hall and the silouette symbol on the sign outside is Nefertiti, a completely different Egyptian queen.

One of my favorite movies so glad you watched this!

It’s funny that you mentioned the blood splatter. Quentin actually has his own prop blood, that’s a certain viscosity and color, specifically for that purpose in all his movies 😂

Your husband must love watching movies with you. Your reactions are so awesome. Funny one second, emotional the next. Thanks Natalie.

Natalie,loved your enthusiasm and comments through out the film. ❤

This was such a fantastic reaction from you, I loved it! An interesting fact about this movie: Kerry Washington really shows her acting finesse with this role. Broomhilda is tortured, she is almost murdered, loses all hope, and then regains that hope and comes out with a genuine smile.

Give the STAR TREK franchise a chance. Please! 🖖🙂

After 10 years, this movie is still the undisputed champion of Christmas violence! This and the classic game Battletoads are still 2 of the best Christmas presents ever!

the entire dinner scene in candiland was a masterpiece.

Another great video, stay golden!✨

The blood on DiCaprio's hand was an accident that happened during shooting and he just rolled with it.

OK, who's going to be the first person to point out Leo's bloody hand?

Great review Nat!

I know everyone talks about Leo actually cutting his hand (which is some boss level ish, ngl) but another fun fact I love is that the cowboy Django shoots that blows up after he frees himself near the end of the film is actually a director cameo by Quentin Tarantino himself.

I love that Natalie literally screamed with joy from watching Quentin Tarantino fucking explode

I love the fact that my favorite hobbit loves Django Unchained as much as I do!! Lol also it’s funny you didn’t realize Quentin Tarantino was playing the guy with the dinamite 😂😂😂😂

I’ve only seen Django Unchained once and it rocketed into my top 5 favorite movies of all time. It’s easily my favorite western. It’s just fantastically done throughout.

If you're unaware, the Australian guy at the end is John Jarret, well known Aussie actor, most notably he plays Mick Taylor (the killer) in the Wolf Creek movies and TV show

It’s cool to see you watch this pretty good Tarantino movie with a nicely thought out story, yup it earned the Oscar for best original screenplay.

This is a QT masterpiece. One thing about his movies is, you always get plenty of blood and a lot of dialogue. You were definitely enjoying this movie a lot.

i remember seeing this film in the cinemas with my mates, one of the best cinema experiences ever!

I keep going back rewatching over and over again those two scenes the white cake scene and the ending scene they are so badass!!!

I wanna make movies when I’m older, and I’m just imagining natalie reacting to one of my movies lol

Nat, I'm so glad you watched this movie. It's my second favorite Tarentino movie next to Inglorious Bastards Side note: I haven't seen you get this invested in a movie in a while! Love to see it!!

I think one of the biggest issues in our society is related to the phrase that was said, "your people". The people one associates with can be, but definitely should not be, those who share trivial immutable characteristics. Those who are part of your "in group" should be those who share values, morals, and ideals. If i meet another hispanic individual I do not identify with them because we share just one or two things in common, but I would if we shared commonality in a veriety of subjects.

The blood and particle effects in this are superb!

Hopefully Glory is on your list for this month. An absolute classic!

I feel like the silliness of the amount of blood helps keeping the tone down without hurting the characters and ultimately succeeds in making this an infinitely re-watchable movie rather than the next 12 years a slave.

10:35 exactly why I enjoy this movie so much it's almost like getting to watch what happens after most movies would end

I absolutely fell in love with this movie. Saw it in theater, too.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is my personal favorite from Tarantino as a fan and as a cinephile, I hope you eventually react to it at some point on the channel

What a movie this is.

So many iconic scenes from the movie and the soundtrack is perfection 👌

12:52 had me laughing out loud like I haven't in weeks... Fantastic video as always!

imo this was tarantino's best film by far. it had all his stylized violence and witty one liners, but it also had soul and humanity - something his other films are wanting of. and of course kristoff waltz and jamie foxx give masterful performances.

Nat, please consider the original "Penny Dreadful" staring Eva Green

I love this movie. The first half is one of the best westerns made in years. I love the second half too but the Candyland stuff is hard to watch. I'd love to see a film, even just a short, about Schultz and Django's time training and working through the winter capturing bounties. Great chemistry in that duo.

i enjoyed your reaction Nat!! keep up the good work.
