I never think of this as a Django film although you are righjt of course, Garkoās character is called Django in it. Either way it is definitely to be recommended in any circumstance. Great film.
i loved the masacre at the fort chariba! 8) the opening itās really explosive!!!
i have seen thin movie over a million times!! the strange thing is i liked sartana\parolini, much much more but sartana i have seen it
maybe 150 times and django over a million times!! thatās the weird thing
alex cox says in the book not even in italian audio itās franco nero voice because he;s voise was too young
and they replaced by another actor with more deep voise
Django is so great, I smile every time I think of the Fort Shariba (sp?): āNathanielās girls are here men, ha ha!ā
Some say Corbucci stole the plot from Fistful of Dollars but I say even if itās true he made it so damned fun that I donāt really care.
āanoyoneā is obviously a Leone fanatic like most of the general populace who manage to actually take a peak at other spaghetti movies from time to time.
But the plots are not even very similar. They both have two warring gangs, but other than that, I donāt really see any similarity. The town is fully deserted except for the saloon, so its not really a town at all, and Django doesnāt make each gang kill each other off by infiltrating each side eitherā¦
I agree, but tell that to mainstream audiences tho have Leone, Tarantino, and Scorsese as their favorite directors. Iām generalizing here of course but I just get fed up with people who strictly narrow themselves to Leone in the genre. You know, those IMDB people.
No, they originate from the same idea, but theyāre definitely different movies
Corbucci used the idea too for Minnesota Clay, he was fascinated by this idea of the loner, a sort of wandering samurai, but turned it into a much darker vision in Django.
Itās hard to invent something really new, something completely original. Look at the great writers in history: Sophocles, Shakespeare, Dostojevski - they often used trite (or even existing) storilines, but turned them into something that people had never experienced before. Both Fistful and Django were such movies: they werenāt original, still they were like no film had ever been.
However, I will say that Fistful of Dollars was of course based on Yojimbo, which in turn was based on Dashiell Hammettās brilliant Red Harvest; so the point is somewhat moot anyway.
I am in total agreement here. Call it inspiration, borrowing, or stealing, its all the same. What matters its whatās done with the idea to add a new vision. I could care less if different directors repeatedly remake the same film, or musicians remake the same song, etcā¦ as long as whatās produced in the end is true to the artistās unique interpretation of the idea
Django with Franco Nero in attendance is pretty difficult to pass up.
Any other UK forumites going?
I presume Austin Fisher is as I believe he is giving some sort of academicky lectury type thing at some point during the day. Is that right Austin?
Sorry Phil. Failed to check this until now. I am indeed giving an academicky lectury type thing at Cine Excess. Iām speaking on Friday afternoon, though, and Django is being shown on the Saturday I believe (itās a three day event; starts tomorrow). Iāll be there all three days.
Iāve got to sit through Cannibal Holocaust tomorrow eveningā¦ Passed up a chance to go to Radio 4ās The News Quiz for thatā¦ Hmm.

This article made my day (well, considering the time more like my nightā¦ or very early morning), Mr. Nero always seem like such a nice guy. Great read!
