Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good Django! On the Tarantino film's 10th anniversary, kevinfoxjr looks back at the polarizing revisionist Western, its baggage, and its masterful execution:
felt singular. Its plot focused on violent retribution for the Antebellum South’s slave economy, in what I now recognize as an act of stylistic reversion. The controversial auteur who so vigorously and explicitly pulls from the Spaghetti Westerns of the ‘60s and exploitation films of the ‘70s was stripping away a bit of his contemporary veneer to make a gunfighting film set in the 19th century.
argued that the film isn’t concerned about historical accuracy and isn’t an important one for Black audiences, its use of brutality, even embellished brutality, serves an artistic purpose. Tarantino’s artistic intention of showing the brutality of slavery through his trademark style invites, even requires, consideration of his historical influences. Beyond titillation, it is captivation—drawing the audience to think and consider things they would not under other circumstances.
At Candyland in Mississippi and at Spencer “Big Daddy” Bennett’s ranch in Tennessee, there are constant reminders of the hierarchical pseudo-feudal system at play, up to and including that some of the enslaved have been coerced into helping uphold the system. And the system requires constant maintenance.
