Unchaining..."Django Unchained"

Those of you that read my "A Nigger on a Horse" post, know that I loved this movie.   So did my daughter and she sent me this really interesting tidbit regarding the "Blue Suit" that Jamie Fox wore in the scene above...and even earlier in the movie!

The outfit is similar to the Thomas Gainsborough painting of the "Blue Boy"

The very first film (Der Knabe in Blau) done by German filmmaker, F. W. Murnau (most well-known for Nosferatu) was inspired by the Blue Boy.   In 1924 Murnau invented a camera technique that allowed filmmakers to move that camera while they were filming.

According to Wikipedia "this is arguably the most important stylistic innovation of the 20th century!" What is the name of that technique? The answer is "Unchained Camera Technique".

I thought...how ironic?   But then again...Tarantino is just short of genius...and perhaps there is no irony in this at all!   Apparently the Academy of Motion Pictures doesn't believe Mr. Tarantino is a genius as they snubbed him for nomination as "Best Director".

They also did the same for Ben's Affleck's brilliant direction for "Argo"...another awesome film!   Hours after a surprise snub in Academy Award nominations, Ben Affleck won best director and "Argo" was named best picture at the Critic's Choice Movie Awards.
