| How are they gonna translate the N-word? I really hope my students don't see it and let that word slip at school with me. |

Why?
Do your students hate you that much?
If they do, just teach them a lesson about slavery and keep them back after class for a little while - they will begin to 'better understand' slavery then 
If you make a 'big deal' out of it, they will play on that!
Of course I know it's HUGELY inappropriate for kids to use any word like that - but hey, they've got smart phones to look up words like that if they want to use them! |

| There is a really good dvd quality torrent online if you can't wait. It's one of those copies that are meant for critics, so the quality is really good. |

Don't waste your money or even time downloading it. There is a reason this movie got snubbed and Tarantino is rumored to be on the delcine.
Here is the best review I can find that pretty much sums things up.

Like so many trailers, it’s packed with memorable scenes that don’t go anywhere, and keeps promising payoffs that remain theoretical. |

Saw it while back in the states, thought it was typical Tarrantino which you either love or hate. I happen to love his style, the violence is almost comical
I find his choice of music again to be incredible between the Tupac/James Brown mashup to using Jim Croce's "I've Got A Name" to be worth the price of admission alone |

The movie got a 92% on rotten tomatoes and has gotten good reviews 9 times out of ten. Looks like both of you fail lol. |

Awesome movie. And despite its serious subject matter it's LOL funny. If you're not entertained by this movie you can't be entertained.
Recommended. |

Red Tails was essentially just a "made for TV" movie. Just download it, although it's not that memorable.
I enjoyed Django a lot, however. |

Django was okay. It just seems to just kind of joke and make slavery this entertaining thing imo. Im aware its got great reviews, and I thought it was descent, but it comes off as kinda cartoony.
I know its just a movie, but way too many people came out the movie laughing and when I think the atrocities of slavery were much more graphic and less happy endings. Not tryna be a buzzkill, but thats just my opinion.
But the actors did do a good job. |
