A veteran northerner of the American Civil War walking in
the desert dragging behind a coffin. Thus begins 'Django', the spaghetti
western genre milestone that was made this month 50 years ago and which after
its theatrical release, became a worldwide hit. A film loved and quoted by
Quentin Tarantino. Sergio Corbucci the director, Franco Nero in the shoes of
the gunman who shouldered the machine gun, mowing opponents, with 81 killings
in 94 minutes.
"The first thing that comes to mind is that they
have aged, although he is still a sportsman and feels young - ANSA says the
protagonist, who is now 74 years-old -. It is a film that defined an era,
bought and distributed throughout the world. In Japan, Germany and South
America, when I went to the hotel, they did not record me with my name, but as
“Django”. It was worshiped in the United States. "I was showing it to
Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Warren Beatty, compared to John Wayne westerns it
was a novelty - reveals Nero -. Jack Nicholson wanted to distribute it in the
US, but it had already been sold." Half a century later, what is the
moral? "It was a movie for the workers who would like to say to the boss
today everything changes, we must change the registry: it was an invitation to
rebel."
A success that has made thirty unofficial sequels and
remakes, "but rather were" surrogates. One of them, "Get the
Coffin Ready" (Viva Django!), with Terence Hill, was also made in 1966.
"I remember, that Enzo Barboni proposed to make the film with the Trinity
star, because I went to America to make Camelot, a blockbuster that was likened
to JFK ". One official sequel, 'Django 2 - The Great Return in 1987:
"I let myself be persuaded to do it in Colombia by director Ted Archer: a
fluvial film, very particular, I do not know if it succeeded or not," he
explains. But the legacy of Django continued up to Quentin Tarantino, who loves
spaghetti westerns, that in 2012 he called the bounty hunter played by Jamie
Foxx “Django”.
