Django Unchained is a fantastic movie. It’s my favorite of 2012. Of course, there are always questions. One of the big questions is why are there Australians in the movie? Are they even Australian? It’s hard to tell with Quentin Tarantino’s odd accent. But there are, and Vulture says there was a scene cut out that explains why they’re there.
Australian Accents
Toward the end of the film, Django is temporarily the property of the LeQuint Dickey Mining Company, which, judging by Tarantino’s distractingly terrible accent, was Australian. Moviegoers could be forgiven for wondering if they dreamed that, but in the script there is a bit that makes their Down Under–ism explicitly clear: One of the Australians explains that Dickey paid for their “passage from Australia,” and they’re working to pay off the boat trip, making for a possible parallel to slavery that could never possibly pull focus from Tarantino’s accent.
And there you go, a neat little subplot. There are tons of other things that were cut. After all, this is a two and half hour movie. Frank Ocean’s song Wise Man was cut, backstory on the character with the red bandana, how Broomhilda became Calvin Candie’s slave (in detail) and more. Head over to Vulture to check out the rest. Minus Ocean’s song, which is below. [Vulture]
