█ █ comments : The most influential spaghetti western █ █
█ █ of all time is DJANGO, starring Franco █ █
█ █ Nero as the tortured gunfighter who █ █
█ █ travels with a coffin. DJANGO has █ █
█ █ everything that makes a spaghetti █ █
█ █ westerns great: a mysterious antihero, █ █
█ █ extreme violence, black humor, and a █ █
█ █ loud, flamboyant soundtrack. Though █ █
█ █ mostly overlooked in the U.S., DJANGO █ █
█ █ was such a hit in Europe that it spawned █ █
█ █ a whole genre of imitators right up and █ █
█ █ into the 1980's. The film made a star █ █
█ █ out of young Franco Nero, although he █ █
█ █ did get typecast a bit, he never █ █
█ █ regretted the role he will always be █ █
█ █ remembered for. █ █
█ █ DJANGO is directed by genre great Sergio █ █
█ █ (THE GRAND CANYON MASSACRE) Carbucci, a █ █
█ █ man who is more intimate with western █ █
█ █ films than practically anyone. Besides █ █
█ █ Franco Nero, the film features Eduardo █ █
█ █ Fajardo as the insane Colonel Jackson. █ █
█ █ Fajardo plays the role with such sleazy █ █
█ █ relish, that you will not soon forget █ █
█ █ his performance. Jose (THE SOUND OF █ █
█ █ HORROR) Bodalo is Rodriquez, leader of █ █
█ █ the Mexican bandits, and friend of █ █
█ █ Django. Bodalo too, gives an interesting █ █
█ █ portrayal of Django's accomplice in gold █ █
█ █ thievery. Loredana Nusciak plays former █ █
█ █ prostitute and DjangoÆs love interest, █ █
█ █ Maria. █ █
█ █ A pack of Mexican bandits are █ █
█ █ brutalizing a prostitute, Maria █ █
█ █ (Nusciak), when members of a racist █ █
█ █ group of radicals gun down the Mexicans █ █
█ █ so they can abuse her themselves. Django █ █
█ █ trudges over a hill dragging a coffin █ █
█ █ behind him, and quickly disposes the █ █
█ █ radicals who threaten Maria. She █ █
█ █ explains she lives in a nearby town, █ █
█ █ which has been ransacked by warring █ █
█ █ Mexican revolutionaries and the racist █ █
█ █ forces of dejected civil war leader, █ █
█ █ Colonel Jackson (Fajardo). █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Maria takes Django back into town, which █ █
█ █ is now a deserted ghost town, except for █ █
█ █ the local whorehouse who service both █ █
█ █ the Mexicans and Colonel JacksonÆs men. █ █
█ █ The psychopathic Colonel Jackson and his █ █
█ █ posse pass the time by shooting Mexicans █ █
█ █ like fish in a barrel. After having his █ █
█ █ fun, Colonel Jackson returns to the █ █
█ █ whorehouse because he has a thing for █ █
█ █ Maria. Jackson and his men find Django █ █
█ █ sitting peacefully in the whorehouse, █ █
█ █ and start to goad him. Django replies by █ █
█ █ shooting his men dead before JacksonÆs █ █
█ █ eyes. Django lets Jackson go and tells █ █
█ █ him to return to town with the rest of █ █
█ █ his men. Jackson returns with an army of █ █
█ █ extremists all wearing red hoods. Django █ █
█ █ opens his coffin, pulls out a Gatlin █ █
█ █ gun, and cuts down JacksonÆs men like so █ █
█ █ many thistles in the breeze! █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Jackson and a few of his men wisely █ █
█ █ retreat. Django and Maria leave town █ █
█ █ too, but get captured by Mexican █ █
█ █ bandits. The bandits take them to their █ █
█ █ leader, Rodriquez, who happens to owe a █ █
█ █ debt to Django. Django once saved █ █
█ █ RodriquezÆs life, so Rodriquez feels he █ █
█ █ can trust Django. Django informs his █ █
█ █ friend that by using DjangoÆs Gatlin █ █
█ █ gun, they can infiltrate Colonel █ █
█ █ JacksonÆs fort and steal his supply of █ █
█ █ gold. Rodriquez is only more than happy █ █
█ █ to cooperate Django and orders his █ █
█ █ bandits to accompany them to Colonel █ █
█ █ JacksonÆs headquarters. The heist is █ █
█ █ successful, and Django and the bandits █ █
█ █ return with the gold. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Rodriquez and Django discuss splitting █ █
█ █ the gold, but Django knows he cannot █ █
█ █ trust the Mexicans so he decides to act █ █
█ █ first, and devises a plan to abscond █ █
█ █ with all the gold (which you have to see █ █
█ █ to believe). Django is successful, but █ █
█ █ he loses the gold in a pit of quicksand. █ █
█ █ Rodriquez and his men catch up to Django █ █
█ █ and Maria, and as you would imagine, █ █
█ █ they are not happy. Django once saved █ █
█ █ RodriquezÆs life, so he does not kill █ █
█ █ Django; he only maims him. The gold █ █
█ █ means nothing to Django now, the only █ █
█ █ thing that means anything is revenge on █ █
█ █ Colonel Jackson. You see, Colonel █ █
█ █ Jackson has something to do with the █ █
█ █ death of DjangoÆs lover, and before █ █
█ █ Django finds peace, he wants revenge. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Sergio Carbucci directs in the style of █ █
█ █ Sam Peckinpah and John Huston, and uses █ █
█ █ the unforgiving desert almost like █ █
█ █ another character to itself. Though the █ █
█ █ film is somewhat derivative of the work █ █
█ █ of those directors, Carbucci adds his █ █
█ █ own touches to the myth. Cabucci went █ █
█ █ all out to differentiate DJANGO from the █ █
█ █ glossy Hollywood westerns of the same █ █
█ █ period (such as EL DORADO). His Old West █ █
█ █ is one of grime, filth, whiskey, and all █ █
█ █ the characters are trashy and amoral to █ █
█ █ some point. Like the gialloÆs that were █ █
█ █ popular during the reign of the █ █
█ █ spaghetti western, DJANGO has an █ █
█ █ episodic disjointed plot that favors █ █
█ █ brutal setpieces over a linear █ █
█ █ structure. Carbucci imbues the film with █ █
█ █ a fatalistic feel, and he makes no █ █
█ █ apologies for the taboo-breaking subject █ █
█ █ matter or the purposely overdrawn █ █
█ █ stereotypes. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ The character of Django is legendary. He █ █
█ █ is death in disguise; and sly as a wolf. █ █
█ █ But he remains an enigma. We discover he █ █
█ █ has a heart buried under that gruff █ █
█ █ exterior. Interestingly, Carbucci keeps █ █
█ █ the audience guessing about DjangoÆs █ █
█ █ intentions. He is friends with the evil █ █
█ █ Rodriquez and even convinces Rodriquez █ █
█ █ to join him in stealing the gold (hardly █ █
█ █ the act of a hero). We donÆt know if █ █
█ █ Django is soulless or righteous until █ █
█ █ the last five minutes of the film. █ █
█ █ Franco Nero is perfect in the role, and █ █
█ █ is quite an overwhelming presence, with █ █
█ █ his ratty confederate clothing and █ █
█ █ razor-stubble beard. The way Nero moves █ █
█ █ and slowly talks, with his steely eyes █ █
█ █ gleaming at his opponents. The scenes of █ █
█ █ Django shambling though the endless mud, █ █
█ █ dragging a casket like a trophy (and █ █
█ █ reminiscent of the Reaper in THE MASK OF █ █
█ █ THE RED DEATH), are archetypal unto █ █
█ █ themselves. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ The storyline borrows heavily from █ █
█ █ Japanese samurai classics such as █ █
█ █ YOJIMBO. Since Django has to deal with █ █
█ █ two threats, Colonel JacksonÆs posse and █ █
█ █ the Mexican bandits, he uses his wits █ █
█ █ and plays them off against each other. █ █
█ █ Hopefully they will take each other out. █ █
█ █ In the first act, Django has an █ █
█ █ opportunity to kill Colonel Jackson, but █ █
█
