DJANGO UNCHAINED

Is “Django Unchained” inherently racist? or is it just western society’s insecurity with the negative connotations of that N word?

Contains the views from black people and feminist on the representation of black women in the film;

“I read several reviews which expressed disdain for the revenge plot of the film. Others focused on feminist issues, pointing out that, in real times of slavery, most female slaves did not have gallant husbands to rescue them, but in fact had to escape on their own.”

“The idea of the history of slavery turned into a Western action flick troubled me. More than that, I took issue with the film’s representation of Black slaves, and their relationship with White men. After researching this issue, I found many Black critics of the film seemed to have a similar opinion.”

Also talks about how the slaves are represented, and how they are depicited to be freed by “the benevolence of White men”

Talks about the representation of white men too, most notably the KKK scene;

“As a work of fiction, the movie featured ridiculous scenes like a group of white men, reminiscent of the KKK, arguing over the trivial matter of the eye holes in their white hats. Tarantino included a prolonged comedy sketch smack dab in the middle of his Western shootout. Why couldn’t he have made Django a character who made his own decisions, rather than another Black slave who simply followed the orders of a White man?”
