“I said yes”: Why did Smith refuse to finally refuse Django’s infertility

Why did Wilam Smith Quentin Tarantino play in Django Unchained? Over time, the actor got two versions, quite different. The most famous is the one who has delivered it to the round table Hollywood reporter In 2015, Smith explained why he did not reach his casting:

“We have discussed hours and hours”

“I told him yes to Django, but in the direction of getting this story at a creative level. We discussed hours and hours.

“So I explained that the only way that can be removed is to find love. He does not want violence after he himself suffered violence. I could not contact the fact that violence was in response to violence. “

In other words, revenge cannot be the motivation of the character, as will be seen by Will Smith. In addition to Django Unchained, Quentin Tarantino wanted to rebuild the Italian West in the 60s and 70s, modernized by him. However, at the time, revenge was two Italian Western Square in two (the other was treasure hunting), and Tarantino was planning a revenge story stronger than Django is a slave and that he would take revenge on his former “masters”.

After that, the separation was inevitable, and we understand that Tarantino went to find another actor, in which case Jamie Fox, who role, goes amazingly.

Will Smith changed his version

When he left in 2013, the actor gave a completely different reason Entertaining a weekly (An article that is no longer available but also quoted Today), Slightly more “Hollywood” reasons: “Jango wasn’t the main character when hey, I had to be there. There, it was another character.”

In these words, Smith was likely to refer to Dr. King Schultz, who is explained by Christoph Walt and who travels with Jango in a good part of the film. Waltz, though often the second role, is known to perform performances that can sometimes steal the show from his counterparts.

But this justification disappeared in 2013 in 2015 to make creative differences in the main theme of the film.
