I n the mids a teenage musician named Eric Bishop went to play piano for the rich white folk outside his hometown of Terrell, Texas. Bishop was driven to the house by a schoolfriend, who was then ordered to wait outside in the car until the recital was over. If living well is the best revenge, then Eric Bishop provides a study in payback.
Recast in the role of Hollywood star Jamie Foxx, he has a Grammy for his music and an Oscar for his acting. By rights his latest movie should count as the icing on the cake, in that it's about a freed slave on a mission of reprisal.
Except that the film's critics see things differently. Believe the nay-sayers, in fact, and you may conclude that Django Unchained is nothing more than another dubious commission, a fresh line in exploitation. Another performance for the benefit of wealthy white employers.
Directed with gusto by Quentin Tarantino, Django Unchained casts the actor as a black bounty hunter who kills white outlaws and gets paid for his trouble. The drama bounces from Texas to Mississippi on the cusp of the civil war, effects a shotgun wedding of 60s spaghetti western with 70s "slavesploitation" and douses the magnolia in arterial blood. It also kicks some hornets' nests along the way.
In recent weeks Django has faced criticism for its use of racist language and its cavalier treatment of explosive material. Director Spike Lee claims the film is "disrespectful to my ancestors" and has refused to see the thing on principle. Foxx has his phone in his hand and his cap on his head, the peak twisted off-centre so that it points to two-o'clock.
I'm barely through the door when he's returning fire, defending the film for all that he's worth. I mean, I respect Spike, he's a fantastic director. But he gets a little shady when he's taking shots at his colleagues without looking at the work. To me, that's irresponsible. Besides, he adds, the history of entertainment is littered with white guys who told black stories, and white singers who sang black songs. Sometimes that's good and sometimes it's bad.
Good Golly Miss Molly? I don't think so. But you can't tell me that Eminem ain't hot 'cos he's white or that Elvis Presley isn't a bad motherfucker, or that Quentin Tarantino can't do whatever he likes, 'cos damn straight he can. The actor admits that OK, yes, he had to overcome some qualms of his own. But he was reassured by the director's reputation and by the presence of a peerless supporting cast. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Calvin Candie, the sadistic plantation owner, smirking into the zoom lens.
Did I make you hate me? Did I inhabit the character full enough to make you believe that, and make you uncomfortable enough to make you hate me? And you feel guilty because then you want to see me die. I did what I was supposed to do for that film, which should be the criteria for voting or not voting. I did spend a lot of time being concerned about Kerry when we were doing the scene where Leo and I were jerking her around and ripping her clothes off. Do I need to tell Leo not to grab you that hard?
