Tarantino describes Django Unchained as a "southern". If Django Unchained is a southern, and films such as The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, and Tombstone are westerns, does that mean that there are films out that could be classified as "northerns" and "easterns"? If so, then what are some examples of "northerns" and "easterns"?
Departed is super fucking New England
Shit made me nostalgic
fargo is a "northern"
There's that movie with Leonardo with the bear and shit, The Revenant I think. Pretty sure that'd qualify as a nor'easter
Revenant would be a northern
The patriot, last of the mohicans could be easterns.
Eastern could be any revolutionary war kino, northern would be pretty much New England stuff like the Revenant. Maybe since we aren’t going off of modern American borders, you could say television shows like the Terror are northern.
Good Choices
The western is defined by its setting being the border regions of the expanding Murrica, be it in the west or the south. Tarantino is just autistic.
Would samurai movies be far easterns?
Dude, you have fuckin autism. If you can't detect the nuance of calling Django Unchained a "southern" you are really dumb.
why would a normie choose to come to a website made for autismos? only failed normalfags make these type of posts. weirdos, social outcasts, and mentally unwell people know the drill, but it's the failed normalfags who refuse to accept their place and try to astroturf
Anything that takes place in snowy mountains in the 1800s is a northern.
The mountains in Virginia and other southern states get snowy
>snowy mountains
Like the Rocky Mountains? Famous feature of the western frontier and setting of many westerns?
I throw in Gangs of new York as a northern and "eastern" is just another term for kung fu movies
The sunglasses are so ridiculous. Imagine a portrait of Ulysses S. Grant wearing fucking sunglasses
black kings can pull of fashion that white boys can only dream about? no way!
They didn't exist, Rufus. They might as well have given Django a Cadillac to drive
did you also know that Hitler wasn't gunned down by israeli American soldiers in a French movie theater and that Sharon Tate didn't actually survive either? crazy stuff right?
It's true. My favorite part was when the Allies took out Hitler with a laser-guided JDAM from an F-16
Sunglasses were available to poor laborers in the 1800s. They certainly existed.
Yeah some fucking blacked out goggles were available, nothing like modern sunglasses which didn't become a thing until the early 20th century
> "northerns" and "easterns"? If
There are movies categorized as westerns that take place in Alaska, Oregon, the Dakota territories, etc.
>North to Alaska
>The Spoilers
>The Far Country
>Canyon Passage
>Day of the Outlaw
The term western refers to the western expansion of the United States, and since we expanded all the way west to the other side of the continent, there's a lot of settings to use.
Tarantino trying to call his movie a "southern" instead is just retarded though
Django is not really set in the frontier but is styled after westerns.
It takes place in 1850s/60s Texas, Tennessee, and Mississippi. That's a western
A "southern" is still a western though. You could divide westerns up into 50 regional subgenres if you wanted but the main genre will always be western
I don't think he was intending to declare it as anything other than a subgenre.
>a fact suggested by Tarantino himself, who referred to Django Unchained as not really “a Western proper. It's a southern.
It sounds like he tried to invent his own genre
>Set in the deep south
>Deals with very specific southern issues
Seems like an appropriate descriptor to me. Self-indulgent as it may be.
gay porn
the south was so fucking evil. really makes you think about chuds today.
>does that mean that there are films out that could be classified as "northerns"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_(genre)
no because the north and the east don't have a culture
I fuckin hate that movie.
