Description
Django!Django, have you always been alone?
Django!
Django, have you never loved again?
Love will live on, oh oh oh...
Life must go on, oh oh oh...
For you cannot spend your life regretting.
Django!
Django, you must face another day.
Django!
Django, now your love has gone away.
Once you loved her, whoa-oh...
Now you've lost her, whoa-oh-oh-oh...
But you've lost her forever, Django.
When there are clouds in the skies, and they are grey.
You may be sad but remember that love will pass away.
Oh Django!
After the showers is the sun.
Will be shining...
Django!
Oh oh oh Django!
You must go on,
Oh oh oh Django...

Django is one of the most revered and classic spaghetti westerns, and was directed by Sergio Corbucci in 1966, spawning dozens of other films under the Django name, almost all unofficial sequels of sorts. The film essentially tells of a mysterious man named Django coming to a feuding Mexican town dragging a coffin behind him and lets the two factions have it with a massive body count. The words above are from the title song by Luis Enrique Bacalov and performed by Rocky Roberts.

Odd fact the scene where the guy gets his ear cut off by the Mexicans was one of the inspirations for the informas stuck in the middle with you scene in Reservoir Dogs

what were those things he was carrying on his back?

I believe it's a saddle. Certainly isn't a bag or anything, so that's my guess.

It was a saddle in the movie.

Saw the original recently and I was taken aback by it's quality! It really does live up to be being a classic!
The piece here is a great tribute to the flick!

Django. The quaint essential Spag-western franchise (some 50+ movies, I believe). Can't wait to see Tarantino's take on the series, even if it's not strictly a 'western'. But if there's any man on earth who can capture the fun of homage, it's Tarantino. The original is, of cause, a classic, and this is a lovely piece of art work. Fave'd. Well done sir.

I believe it's more along the lines of around 30 movies that carry a Django name in one way or another (most just had the Django name appended for marketing reasons, whether there was even a hint of a similar character in the movie or not), but the original film is certainly a classic of the genre. I'm also expecting to see the Tarantino film when it comes to cinemas around here. I'm hearing some really good buzz surrounding the movie, and I've always wanted to see what Tarantino would do with this genre, so it should be good for fans of these Westerns.

Yeah, Italian rip-off-sploitation kicking in when something take's off. Gotta admit, I must have seen about 20 of the 'Django Films'. The two official one's (Django and Django: Strikes again!) as well as such titals as Prepare a Coffin, If you have a gun shoot!, and Django Kill!. I believe there where also 'crossovers' with Sartana, but never seen any of them. It's easily the biggest franchise in the spag-western sub genre, and Tarantino made a great homage to Italian war films (Ingolrious Basterds), so I have very high hope's. I hear it's very funny in places as well, which is always good to balance out the violence.

Tarantino will do it! Ouch! I was decived by the crappy unglorious bastard. It's an insult for all the persons who had suffered during the WW2, Tarantino is a bouffon.

I'll just try to be hopeful it'll be better at least than the 2007 Takashi Miike movie "Sukiyaki Western Django" that - despite a couple of fun spaghetti references, mainly of Django - was really quite a bad movie... ironically it actually felt like a Japanese Tarantino imitation (an imitation of an imitation?) not helped by featuring a QT cameo in a couple of scenes. But well, only time will tell.

I didn't know that strange named japanese movie, but that seem i have missed nothing.
You spoke about imitation? Mmh! I think it's that the great problem with movies: imitations, "try to make like...", or even placing reference too other movie, or serie, or cartoon. That could kill the cinema. How many imitations (made by italians studios) of movies like Mad Max, Conan, Rambo and others? That created involontarious funny movies, but that have maybe sinked italians productions. I think there are many to say about imitations or parodies in cinema. I think in a sens it's not better that censorship, or the self-censorships of producers. Cinema, especaly Holliwood, is confronted to stranges choices i think: making movie, maybe audacious, maybe with the danger to lost a part of the audience, or making Blockbusters to sold pop-corn.
But like you say for that movie, wait and see...

I've always felt that Italian cinema has basically two sides to it. 1) The more prestigious side that was particularly active between the 1950s and the 1980s with the likes of Fellini, Zeffirelli, Antonioni, De Sica and the like leading the pack. A lot of this stuff seems to be less noticeable these days since a lot of "foreign" (as in non-Hollywood, non-English) movies don't seem to get around the world apart from a handful of examples.
2) And then there's the knock-off, genre-stuff and exploitation flicks that are basically "lesser" in value. The Italian Westerns for instance fall directly into this second category as they began life as American knock-offs of a genre popular in Italy that wasn't really getting its fill from Hollywood, and was a natural new money-making genre to jump onto once their previous American imitation cinema of historical epics went bust. But thanks to Leone's stylistic triumph with Fistful it suddenly became an authentically Italian expression that went on to impact Hollywood as well. But Italy has always been on one part serious in its cinematic ambitions and on another superficially opportunistic, both for the good and for the bad.
Otherwise a big problem today is just that a lot of non-English language movies simply don't get much international notice, while Hollywood has become toothless with producers too afraid to take risks that leads to nothing more than clichΓ©d, middle-tier blockbusters with little of anything interesting in them. It's sad really, but I wonder if there's going to be a change to this somewhere in the future. I hope so, since otherwise the film industry's future seems rather bleak.

One of the best western. Italian western were not only comedys with Terence Hill and Bud Spencer. There was also trues gems like Django, Keoma or le grand silence. Many greats actors played in somes italians movies like Franco Nerro, Jean Louis Trintignant, Klauss Kinski and others. Today spaghetti western is dead, but definitivly? I hope no...

Good taste you have, my dear sir. Django indeed is one of the best of the Italian Westerns, and indeed Keoma and Il Grande Silenzio are some of my personal favourite films of all time. Franco Nero's cool, and Kinski - despite being hard to work with - is one of the most impressive actors I've ever seen in any film.
I'm quite interested in seeing what Tarantino's latest "homage" movie Django Unchained is going to be like, but hopefully it'll capture some of the feeling these Italian movies generated.

As for the drawing, it's simple and effective. I like it! I've always wondered why everything's so muddy in that town...

Ah, and thanks for the fave.

The movie The Harder They Come features a scene where Ivan (Jimmy Cliff) and JosΓ© (Carl Bradshaw) go to a cinema and watch Django.
Back in the '70s, just about every young man in Jamaica watched Django, the Dollar series, and the Trinity series, and listened to Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs by Marty Robbins.

Oh lordy, I remember Django~ If even just for the fantastic name! It's quite the bloodbath if I remember correctly...
Even so, the drawing is fantastic XP

Thanx.
And bloodbath it certainly is... minus a lot of blood that is.

You know, I've gotta start faving some of your random drawings relating to stuff I know nothing about. If only for art appreciation's sake.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, thanks for the fave then.
Yeah, I have lots of interests that are quirky and unpredictable. My latest one is a fondness for the western deconstruction films like spaghetti westerns by the likes of Sergio Leone and Sergio Corbucci, and the brutal ones of Sam Peckinpah etc. I think I'll be doing a couple more Django pics now that I'm on a Django roll.

Seeing as the only name I can recognize from that is Sergio Leone, yeah, your interests are far more varied than mine.
