nprfreshair: Quentin Tarantino on the catchphrase”The ‘D’ is silent”: “I thought everyone would know how to say the name, ‘Django.’ Even if it wasn’t from the spaghetti westerns, at least from Django Reinhardt you would know how to say it. And people would read the script [and say], ‘Oh! D-jango Unchained. Okay!” And people would say it all the time. Frankly, I considered it an intelligence test. If you say D-jango you’re definitely going down in my book.” Image of Jamie Foxx in Django Unchained via grandrequiem
