Django: Unchained

Here are a couple of a questions to think about while watching the film:

  1. Does the Western genre obscure or enhance questions of race and gender in Django: Unchained?
  2. How is director Quentin Tarantino’s use of violence in Djanjo racialized?
  3. Does Tarantino’s sense of humor, cinematography, and editing affect how the audience views slavery?

Here are a couple of a questions to think about for discussion:

  • In what ways are male femininity/androgyny equated with queerness in this film?

  • What are the impacts of policing the sexuality of men and women?

  • Why is heterosexuality policed differently with men than with women?

  • Was glam rock queer?
