Django Unchained

He's being antagonistic about it, but it is kind of a shithead question. It's really not one for Tarantino to be answering, it's for psychologists and the audience to answer.

Tarantino is awesome.

I like how he was stuttering a bit with the normal questions and he spoke normally when he got pissed.

Why were there Aussies in the first place, let alone tarantino doing a bad aussie accent?

Foreigners chasing their American dreams, only to get really shitty grunt work like hauling slaves in to dry rockland. Made sense to me? Exploiting the Irish and Swedish in westerns is practically a staple.

With all the terrible accents in the movie I didn't even notice they were Australian.

I thought they were South African.

[Gondolin]

Yeah, I went from thinking that QT was attempting to do a southern accent, to thinking it was supposed to be British, to finally realizing that it was meant to be Australian. And that was only because I picked it up from the other guys.

Sheddup Blick.

Me: "It was weird that he put that group of Australian guys in there."
Friend: "I thought they were Cockney."
Me: "Yeah, I don't know."

I think it's more of a meta-joke. Tarantino casts himself as an Australian slave trader; someone completely divorced from the politics but still exploiting this national tragedy for profit. You can tell from the dialogue the aussie's weren't as racist as the other white guys in the movie, they were just there to get paid. In the end he ends up getting blown the fuck up by the protagonist.

It Was A Joke.

In other news...

The events of Django Unchained begin in 1858. Dr. King Schultz says he quit dentistry 5 years ago to become a bounty hunter, but it isn’t mentioned why. The obvious answer, however, is that his wife, Paula, left him, and he was so devastated that he took up a profession he would never think about otherwise, the profession that would ultimately lead to his death in 1859. His former wife slowly realizes her mistake in leaving Dr. King, and after 6 years apart, seeks him out, only to find he’s been killed at the hands of Calvin Candie. Devastated, faulting herself, she never remarries, keeping her ex-husbands name, and finally dies, alone, in 1893, when she is buried in the Lonely Grave of Paula Schultz, the same grave Beatrix Kiddo will escape from more than 100 years later.
