Class notes - Tuesday 15th October

Django Unchained

-Representation and reflection of how racial society was in that era.
-Representation of race

-Could be paired with the film "The Help" due to representation of race and how they were viewed by society. Style and dialogue of the film is dramatised/emphasized due to the director and how he wants his films to come across

Representation of race compares to "The Help". Both films narrate the lesser/bad treatment of black people and how they're looked on by society. When black people are in a high position of power in Django Unchained, they treat other black people with less respect whereas with The Help, all black people see each other as equal because there is no hierarchy within the same race. In both films, white people are in a high position of power which reflects the acts that were going on in those eras, both before the Civil Rights Movement. Django Unchained is less realistic because of the swearing and stylized dialogue

-Theme of both films: slavery
-MACRO studies will often intertwine
-Distribution is not the same as making
-Tarantino makes independent films
-When researching films, go to imdb
-Independent films get picked up by major distributers
