outside plantation grounds this is the answer to the question raised by the character played by leonardo dicaprio in django unchained when he asks this. like some. critics only wish they'd just rather kill the why. if that movie had been real it would have been a purely rhetorical question because every southerner of the era knew the simple answer well regulated militias kept the slaves in chains sally haydon in her book slave patrols law and violence of virginia in the carolinas notes that although eligibility for the militia seemed all encompassing not every middle aged white male virginian or carolinian became a slave patrol or there were exceptions so that men in critical professions like judges legislators and students could stay at their work generally though she documents how most southern men between eighteen and forty five including physicians and ministers had to serve on slave patrol in the militia at one time or another in their lives and slave rebellion or keeping those slave patrols busy that had the constitution was ratified hundreds of substantial slave uprisings that occurred acr

they would be vulnerable to slave revolt in the movie django unchained the character played by leonardo dicaprio you know the whites are asked the question why don't they just rise up and kill the whites the answer i guess are you. same is that yes there was a well regulated militia yes there was. a whole variety of ways of controlling slaves but one essential ingredient was the slave patrol or the militia which were synonymous in the south. during this period now. you suggest that. james madison wrote the second amendment nor did he get his colleagues in the virginia ratifying convention to go for ratification the constitution. v ratifying this is a complicated story the but the. this very dramatic ratifying convention in richmond virginia in seven hundred eighty eight is of is an important part of the story and what happened was this the constitution had been proposed in philadelphia by the founders in the summer of the seven hundred eighty seven it would not take effect unless it was ratified by nine states and that each state had ratifying conventions and. in july of seven hundred eighty sev

it there are two primary white characters in the movie one played brilliantly and brutally by leonardo dicaprio has a fixed southern drawl and the world view of those same people who today are working to suppress the black vote the other speaks with an accent somewhere between john kerry and martin bashir and is horribly offended by that southern eat those guess which one is the movie's center of evil as mentioned there are plenty of black primary characters and mainstream movies that draw a large white audiences and jamie foxx is as brilliant an actor and strong a character as you'll ever see in any movie regardless of race or john or any when you see django unchained you'll understand why fox is not just plain another black action hero or action hero of any this movie is something altogether different it's about a culture in the south that existed for centuries before eight hundred fifty eight which is when the movie takes place and is still very much alive today when tara tino and jamie fox have delivered a clear message to the tempers. the birth there is this a session it's in the vote supp

. >> leonardo dicaprio said when they first started this movie he had a real problem saying the word out. but he did say, i really had a problem with this at first. >> i was taught never to say that word, it was so incredibly offensive, i'm with leonardo dicaprio, i don't think i could say it. >>> burmese bpythons are threatening florida. while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or

leonardo dicaprio is one of my favorite characters, the candy land and the way that the slaves were dresseds element of it not even being real because it was so fantasticcal. but the slave never wins. and django is a film that people should see. >> cenk: he flipped it upside down like inglorious bastards it was great. lauren, from jack and jill, thanks. spike is wrong. fox news is wrong. it's a great movie. >>> when we come back, chris christie, republicans attacking one another. that's great. but there is an important point we need to make about conservatism versus progressism. >> i'm saying anyone in new york and new jersey who contributes one penny to the rich, chewy caramel rolled up in smooth milk chocolate. don't forget about that payroll meeting. rolo.get your smooth on. also in minis. is. >> cenk: all right. now the presence not voting just about the fiscal cliff at the end of their session. they were going to vote on hurricane sandy getting relief over there. they passed a bill. it's urgent. it's been 66 days since hurricane sandy hit. and the republicans were considering a $27 bil

i sat down with two of the films stars, leonardo dicaprio and jamie foxx, along with the director, quentinantino. it's an epic, revenge fantasy. >> i like the way you die, boy. >> romantic westerns. one critic said recently, there's something for everyone to hate in this film. >> i don't think you do a film like this with quentin tarantino and not expect that. that's what you sign up for. >> i don't think anybody is going out there saying we used the word more excessively than it was used in 1858 in mississippi. >> reporter: leonardo plays the despicable calvin candee. >> we got us a fight going on. it's a good bit of fun. >> reporter: a plantation owner and all-around bad guy, who uses the "n" word repeatedly. >> i have to say, the first day on set was incredibly difficult for me. >> it's supposed to be tough. you're not supposed to feel like that's normal in 2012, 2013. >> reporter: and then there's the violence. does the director think the violence he puts on the screen makes real violence more likely? >> it's nothing new. in shakespeare's time he was blamed all the time for the anarchy

the weinstein company party at trader vick's, you will see all the "django unchained," leonardo dicapriooxx. and jennifer lawrence, "silver linings playbook" and bradley cooper and tina fey and amy poehler, the hosts tonight, having their own party at the soho house, those people lucky enough to be invited to that one. >> everything is so carefully managed. i'm wondering what is it we don't see on tv that you get to see? >> i have been to all these award shows multiple times. the thing that always fascinates me are the seat fillers. backstage there are just plenty of people all dressed up in tuxedos and ball gowns but they are absolute knobs. they are just there to fill a seat if, say, someone like jessica chastain has to use the ladies room, she can't just get up and go, somebody has to sit in her seat and she has to be dress aid appropriately in case a camera goes over jessica's session. you don't want to see empty seats this is hollywood. you want to see butts in seats. one thing i have loved about the behind the scene scenes there. not only does the golden globes have a lot of boozen

thieving brothers and then to free django's wife held at a mississippi plantation owned by leonardo dicaprio'sharacter, and the plantation is called candyland. does it sound insane? well, it is. it's quentin tarantino. but he does a masterful job of depicting the deplorable history of slavery. foxx recently did a joke in an opening monologue on "snl" about how it was great to kill all the white people in the movie. believe me, you want his character to kill the white people who enslave him in the movie there are many a-list actors in the movie. but the one who steals the show in my view is samuel l. jackson. he plays a house slave at dicaprio's plantation, and he is a vile character. he is smart. he is arguably the smartest character in the movie. he has been corrupted, he has turned on his own, and he is black. so this is not exactly some hate whitey movie either. there is something in "django unchained" to offend everybody. the film packs a powerful message. and like i said, spike lee ought to see it. four stars. that's "hardball" for now. thank you for being with us. "the ed show" with ed s

. >> here's a leonardo dicaprio film with the drug cartel, and they're advertising. it's just breathtaking. >> yes. >> are they getting out of drugs and into movies? >> no, they want to diversify. they might be doing gambling on monday, human trafficking on tuesday, child prostitution on wednesday, drug dealing on thursday, and counterfeiting on friday. >> but even more than organized crime, it's the internet that has hollywood's hair on fire. john malcolm says pirated movies are being uploaded onto the internet in a matter of hours and then downloaded very quickly using some gee-whiz computer technology called bit torrent. >> bit torrent. and what it does is, it takes a movie file, which is a very large file, and it breaks it up into very small pieces so that it is easier to trade back and forth via a swarm. >> malcolm showed us what a bit torrent program looks like on his computer. the programs are perfectly legal, but every day, we're told, up to 50 million people around the world are using programs like this to illegally download pirated movies. and you're downlo

database even movie that came out, marvel casting of leonardo dicaprio as j. edgar hoover.who came up with that? i would have preferred brad pitt frankly for that role, but -- [laughter] but in any event, the movie has lots of falsehoods. but most what we're given as alleged history, i'll present company excepted, is that. i am reminded of what mary mccarthy said about william holmes. every word she writes is a lie, including and and the. [laughter] and that's my view, of what is out there about who. i think he -- for the same reasons chambers gets me. finally, hoover himself was very skeptical of chambers. these fbi guys didn't just accept anybody and anyone telling them so. they didn't accept that we. they spent a lot of time backtracking, checking. i might say evasively checking up on people through wiretaps, which there are many in the fbi files, transcripts but i say once you read raw wiretaps you never want to go back. that's the real stuff. this is unedited. it's the real thing. and what they did over and over again was to find out who was telling the truth. and if i

i was happy with the "django unchained," but you cannot snub bigelow, leonardo dicaprio never been awardedactor from a james bond film never nominated and should be nominated. he was incredible. i was upset with the nominees yesterday. i think they're going to go with the safe choice and give it to "lincoln." they always go safe, it's the oscars every year. i was not happy this year. >> tell me about the critics choice award. fun moments, i understand? >> lauren and i, my girlfriend and i were there last night. it was the most incredible experience of my life. i'm sitting there geeking out with robert de nero for a minute. one of the craziest moments was daniel day-lewis, i'm like, i walk up to this guy, he looks just like lincoln in real life, by the way. i walk up to him. we have a picture of me talking to him. he's genuinely laughing. and lauren and i were talking to the stars, jennifer lawrence. the best part the night, and this geeked me out, joss weeden was at the after party dancing on the floor by himself. there's a picture of lauren and i, we walked up and basically break dance wi

and some people thought leonardo dicaprio would get a nomination or samuel l. jackson would get a nomination but neither did. beth suft porting actress, amy adams, sally field who was masterful in that movie. helen hunt, anne hathaway, and we just heard scott fine burgh say it's been 31 years since a movie has been nominated in every major category and that happened this year for "silver linings playbook." this could be the year of this small movie that i have to say was one of my favorites. and yours and many others. thanks so much. i want to get to jackie weaver. she was just nominated as best supporting actress. she plays dollar ores, bradley cooper's mom. wake up, how did you find out? >> i was watching the television. i couldn't sleep. i'm so excited. i'm here in l.a. only got her from australia yesterday. because i'm going to make a movie in texas. i do not believe this was going to happen. i'm so thrilled. it's such a beautiful film. and david russell is wonderful. we're such a great team. i love bradley and jen. we had a great time. >> congratulations.

robert de niro has not had a nomination in 21 years if you can believe that and leonardo dicaprio wasy terribly in "django unchained." >> you could see anne hathaway. sally field. helen hunt, and amy adams, and nicole kidman could see a nomination as well. also, best director, this is a good category as well. lots of really heavy-hitting directors that are up. we could see steven spielberg get a nomination for lincoln. katheryn big low will get one as well. ben affleck for "argo." he'll likely get a nomination. ang lee, and maybe michael hanake. maybe david o. russell. quintin tarentino. this could be a category that could make an extremely good film get shut out. >> at least three films expected to top the oscars list for best picture. they're historical and political. >>. >> since 1927, nearly half the movies are about something historical. why does history and politics make for so much of oscar's attention. take a look. sometimes it's as simple as presidents, patriots and politics and phipps like "lincoln" "zero dark 30" and "argo." we're reminded of the country's darkest moments.
