Alumnus Anthony Ryan Auld competes on Project Runway
"Reap what you sew" — the tagline for season nine of "Project Runway," which premiered on Lifetime late last month — started off with a slew of hopefuls hungry for Fashion Week. But for LSU students and Baton Rouge residents alike, there was one of us on the screen.
Meet Anthony Ryan Auld, who earned his degree in textile merchandising in 2010 from the LSU School of Human Ecology. While he shocked Tim Gunn with his story — overcoming cancer and designing through colorblindness — his unique use of patterns and textures earned him a spot on the show.
In just two episodes he's made an impression on Heidi Klum, and the rest of America, as he competes for the coveted prize. In an interview with LSU, Auld discussed his experience on the show, his dreams for the future and how he came up with that birdseed dress.
What was the audition process like?
ARA: I actually tried out for Project Runway last year. I looked back at what I sent, and it was just thrown together. I knew I wanted to try out again, so I got everything I've made — hats, graphics, anything — and built an online portfolio. It was an open call, and then when they narrowed it down again, I submitted five new pieces before they narrowed it down again to what you saw on the show.
How would you describe your design aesthetic?
ARA: Right now, I love anything eclectic. I used to work with a lot of black and white, but I like to put local culture and colors from life into it. I love prints and natural fabrics like cotton, silk, hemp and bamboo. I also like things that are wearable but also have showmanship. I am dressing the everyday woman, that trendy girl who is fashion forward.
Who are some other Project Runway designers you've admired?
ARA: My overall favorite is Christian Siriano. I also like Mondo [Guerra] for having such courage. And from season three, I liked Jeffrey [Sebelia]. He did a lot of cool stuff and didn't care what anyone thought. On this season, I really got along with Anya [Chee] and Josh M. [McKinley]. Laura [Kathleen] reminded me of a girl from here with her pink, girly clothes and her spitfire attitude.
In the first episode, the challenge was to create a look using only your pajamas and a bed sheet. What went through your mind?
ARA: At first, I was just thankful I was wearing something I could work with, but then I was just like, 'let the games begin.' The bed sheet was a polyester blend, which doesn't dye well, so I wanted to work as much with what I was wearing. My shirt was neon yellow, and I wasn't about it, so I re-dyed the whole tank top and overlaid a trim to make it black. I also re-dyed the shorts.
The show has acknowledged how much you've overcome, between being colorblind and surviving testicular cancer. What else do you want people to know about you?
ARA: I don't want the colorblindness to be the one thing that people think about me. It's not that difficult to work with, I mean, I've dealt with it since I was a kid. I want people to know me for my fun design aesthetic. Seventy-five percent of America can't afford a Michael Kors outfit, but they can still be stylish and fashion forward. Here, people wear skinny jeans with cool jackets and accessories; that's where my minor in business comes in because I can cater to that market. Growing up, my parents struggled to get things we had, so we worked off hand-me-downs and clearance racks. I want to provide solid pieces that can be styled and incorporated into a wardrobe.
In terms of cancer, and going through chemo, you've said "it's something you overcome, but you're never the same." How has it changed you?

ARA: Overall, your view on life changes. I mean, it happened out of the blue. Something wasn't right, so I went to the doctor and found out I had to have surgery. They told me they were going to cut me from my neck down my torso for a lymph node reduction, which takes months to recover from. Then, I started chemo. You're just thankful for every day after that. A lot of bad things happen to great people, so it's just a mindset to pull back and look at the positive. I definitely don't play around anymore. I'm really focused, and I make it a point to spend time with my family and friends. You can only be thankful for every day that you have after something like that.
In episode 2, the challenge was to create a look using items in a pet store. How do you come up with such creative designs, especially under pressure?
ARA: You're constantly thinking, 'what's next?' It's also about what you've done before. The birdseed dress was similar to a dress I did for New Orleans Fashion Week that had a feathered neck. You're cut off from the world, away from influences, so it's just about knowing yourself and what you can do. You have to constantly think about the next challenge. There is no extra time — what is on TV is the amount of time we got, so you just have to be selling and moving.
You've entered and won fashion competitions before. How did the judging on Project Runway compare?
ARA: In the first two episodes, it was an adrenaline rush being in the top three. Being up there, I felt like I was going to faint, but once they said they liked my piece, I relaxed. You just never know what's going to happen. I've won local and regional competitions, but I was really looking for constructive criticism. I was really longing for ways I could make this better. Of course, no one wants to be on that stage for a bad reason, but these are people who've been in the industry two or three times longer than me, so it's great to get their feedback.
Was the show's experience different than you expected?
ARA: No, not too much. I wasn't prepared for how intense it was going to be. It took me awhile to get into the swing of things and get the timing right. Overall, it was how I thought it was going to be. I knew how I wanted to act — I didn't want to come across wrong and make me or the state look bad. Sometimes, I didn't agree with what the judges said about the designs, whether it was my work or someone else's, but fashion is so subjective.
What was something you learned from the show?
Auld wowed the judges during Episode 2 with his high fashion dress made from birdseed. Lifetime Entertainment Services
ARA: Being on the show only reinforced what I do now. When people think about high fashion, they just think about what's on the runway instead of what's marketable and wearable. Everyone wants to make feather dresses, but no one does feathers better than 'The Queen' [Alexander McQueen].
I didn't think I would form friendships during the show. I went into it just wanting to focus on me, but I found a home working with Anya, just bouncing ideas off each other. I have an open mind about people, but this experience taught me not to be so defensive. I also appreciated all of the feedback. I wish the judges were sitting here in my living room. The experience was amazing, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. It's such a great platform for me and what I do. You know things have changed when you go to the local Hobby Lobby and someone is hanging out of their car saying, 'you rock!'
What have you taken from your education at LSU?
ARA: Everything I know about fashion design came from the school. Of course, I think every designer has to have an instinct, but as for the selling part of fashion, I learned that at LSU. [Assistant Professor] Lisa McRoberts is the greatest. She let me have a freedom with my ideas and just let me run wild. If I wanted to make a dress out of pennies, she would let me. Of course, there were boundaries, but she taught me everything about draping and synthesis. And then there is [instructor] Ms. Marquette-Leak, who is the best pattern maker. She is very technical and just spot-on. The information and the skills she taught with pattern making, I don't know if I would have gotten it anywhere else. One thing about LSU is, the classes were small and close-knit, so it was easy to ask questions, which was invaluable.
How do you think Project Runway brings light to the career of fashion design?
ARA: It's so hard to break into the fashion industry. Project Runway is like the American Idol of fashion because it gives us a platform to show everyone who you are. To be on the show and have to opportunity to show what I do, I couldn't get that anywhere else. I would do it again in a heartbeat — it's a dream come true.
No matter the outcome of the show, what do you dream of doing?
ARA: Every designer wants a line, a brand. I show collections because that's what I love to do. But to find investors to fund something bigger isn't really feasible right now. I really would like to work under someone well known so I can learn even more about design and keep it stored away. At the same time, I would love to open up a shop in New Orleans and just make clothes. Fashion is always changing so you always have to keep learning. I am always open to what can happen and where fashion can take me.
Fashion is often associated with bigger cities. What advice do you have for those in smaller cities, even fellow Baton Rouge residents, who have big dreams?
ARA: I do have big dreams, and I want to do big things. It's about determination. When I got into this, I knew if I could make a name for myself in a city not known for design, then I could make it anywhere. It's important not to let the small things hinder you. I'm living proof that you can do it. Take full advantage of what's around you; there is fashion everywhere and it's what you take from that. Get involved with all the boutiques here — there is a niche for fashion designers. New Orleans is a force to be reckoned with, and I'm all about it.

Django Chained: Tarantino and the American Slave
In just barely over a week since its Christmas release, Quentin Tarantino's eighth feature film, Django Unchained, has exhaustively become a source of public controversy for its setting amongst southern, pre-Civil War plantations where the height of the black man's plight in the United States was the accepted norm. Not the least of the film's detractors, the also ever-increasingly controversial auteur Spike Lee has openly refused to patronize his notorious rival's latest, fairly stating he cannot comment much further due to this position but adding that the piece appears to be a disgrace to his ancestors.
As talked to death as the subject already feels, my own leanings would leave me remiss not to weigh in after what feels like much more than seven days digesting and discussing the new work of one of my – and just about everyone else's – favorite filmmakers, and the decidedly preemptive reaction to it from, sure enough, another of my favorite filmmakers (whose own new narrative feature, the important Red Hook Summer, is one of my more cherished films this past year).
Reviews proper from all sides have naturally covered Django's technical successes and falterings plenty, and of both the film does indeed have plenty. Yes, Sally Menke's absence is greatly felt. No, the Tupac in the otherwise characteristically superb soundtrack doesn't quite fit. Maybe our progressively shameless filmmaker has finally tipped the scales toward fanboy regurgitation as opposed to the previously more elegant reframing of his worthily beloved grindhouse fare. To the film's credit it is never boring even in its less wieldy stretches, and like anything else in its creator's catalogue it easily invites reevaluation through revisitation. Through all this Django still feels as though it may be good – if not comparatively good for Tarantino – and I can see the entertainment value. Ethically, however, is where Django truly finds its fault.
So let's dig in.
Considering ethics alone, I find myself compelled to place Django Unchained toward the bottom of the 2012 stack (in the cold company of John Carter, Mirror Mirror and 2016: Obama's America), and certainly that of Tarantino's career thus far, even if that may sound like a hyperbolic stretch based on the fact that the lowbrow material's sole aim is to but entertain. Therein, however, does lie one major issue, in that more than 2.5 hours of being bombarded with graphic brutality against the enslaved does not entertainment make. Okay, there is more to Django than just that but the barrage of visceral cruelty against those who were then considered 1/3rd of a person is so persistent that it demands to be addressed, and this introduces the more important issue: Django Unchained is ultimately not concerned with slavery despite its gratuitous focus on as much.
American slavery's gravest ills loom dark throughout, yet the film steers clear from directly addressing its own subject matter. Our ensemble cast may extensively verbalize for or against slavery so we will experience less doubt in their motives and rapidly align ourselves accordingly, but all this comes of use for is a means to more easily make heroes or villains of thinly wrought characters.
This is a revenge picture and nothing more – which would be perfectly acceptable; not every movie with slavery in it needs to be Amistad or Roots, or Lincoln for that matter – but at nearly every turn Django puts itself in a position where it becomes its obligation – nay, its responsibility – to address the viciously inhumane setting its characters are weaving through and in certain cases enforcing. It is calling out for our hero to become Tarantino's Nat Turner, though stubbornly it can't be budged beyond its selfish aim. This is a gross social disrespect that makes fools of we the audience and a fool of its otherwise impressive filmmaker.
Incidentally, this also makes it all the more troubling when the slave condition, of all things, is frequently played for laughs – something best exemplified when primary antagonist Calvin Candie (a terrifyingly against-type Leonardo DiCaprio) disgustingly ridicules a slave for not knowing a certain word's definition at a point where this same conditional ignorance has been previously implemented in whimsical efforts to make Django himself (Jamie Foxx) more endearing.
Tarantino's prior offering, the objectively similar and – despite the occasional stylistic misstep – vastly superior Inglourious Basterds not only brilliantly twists its deliberate contradictions regarding its amusing-turned-revolting descents in to screen violence back on its audience to make for an intriguing underlying commentary, it also gracefully avoids Django's detrimental issues that have me so hung up. Outside Hans Landa's (Christoph Waltz) descriptions of his profession, Basterds does not explicitly depict the evil of the Holocaust, wisely choosing to take such information as read. On top of that, through its well-drawn individual characters the story actually is about fighting the Nazis as opposed to a personal vendetta and we do get to see the ultimate goal achieved as a Jew cathartically blasts to pieces none other than Adolf Hitler himself.
Though he is never in a position to fictionally alter history by ending slavery altogether and this is not expected of him as of the film's onset, Tarantino's underdeveloped protagonist Django is in fact never concerned with anything more than the rescue of another underdeveloped individual (Broomhilda, played by Kerry Washington) with whom he shares a – you guessed it – underdeveloped relationship, and on several occasions intentionally ignores this bigger fight that is persistently thrust in his face. By design – perhaps due to a broad attempt to make the good and the bad foils of one another – the one fleeting act that could prove exception to these qualms is not even enacted by Django, its potential for catharsis neutered (much like many other examples of retaliatory violence found within) and its thematic resonance quickly swept under a rug.
By the climax Django is seeing through purely vengeance-tinted lenses to the point that he fails – not even trying – to recruit his enslaved brothers in the interest of a far superior final confrontation. Further still he shows no hint of sympathy for another slave whom he despises before even meeting him simply due to the man's circumstantial status on a plantation, compromising a potentially intriguing trajectory for Samuel L. Jackson's Stephen. When all is said and done the dubiously comical Stephen may not deserve mercy, but here we have yet another neglected facet of the potently present overarching conflict.
As for a sly twisting of contradictions a la Basterds, one might observe the aforementioned instances of black characters not knowing certain "five-dollar words" due to their oppression, noting that these instances' differences begin to tread down this road. I would agree, but it's a false start that leads nowhere.
Now, all this said, I do recognize that Django Unchained is still an exploitation movie. In fact, to go further in this appearance than its definitively exploitative title that marries Franco Nero to pepla, its narrative essentially provides the skeleton of classic blaxploitation. As such I do not presume it is some kind of major setback for blacks in contemporary society, and it is certainly not as backwards as something like 2011's stereotype-reinforcing, white savior fluff piece The Help. I ask us to remember, however, that the widespread enslavement of blacks in America is only a century and a half old, and of course the widespread oppression of blacks remained stubbornly prevalent after the passing of the 13th Amendment and well in to the 20th Century. To say it is no longer a sore spot despite what we may wish would be a sorry mistake. The conversation is not over.
What Tarantino does not seem to comprehend here is the idea of "representing", that being a term I admit has lost some of its significance over the decades through overuse in popular culture (a note for those who have seen the film in question: it does not equate to a prancing pony). The blaxploitation films Tarantino reveres "represented" by exploiting the black experience to inspire and empower when no other films would, and through this they created positive symbols. Contrarily, while too caught in its meager efforts to pay all-too overt homage to the spaghetti western in the face of its chosen conflict, Django Unchained exploits the black experience to evoke hatred – hatred it is satisfied to leave dangling come the roll of the credits, rendering it a negative, shameful and, yes, disgraceful picture in a time when many non-white films are getting shafted in the mainstream. As Spike Lee might say, that's the truth, Ruth.
Finally, to take a cue from Django's superior forebears and put a bow on this editorial with a positive note, if one is interested in a worthy film sharing the vein of Django Unchained, I will recommend Paul Bogart's 1971 western Skin Game starring Louis Gossett Jr. and James Garner. It may not be particularly proficient in terms of technical execution, like Django, and in this direct comparison it certainly does not possess Django's abrupt force that has been winning over so many audiences, but its story is wholly captivating as it charts ahead-of-their-times black and white partners utilizing the racism around them to pull off lucrative cons before becoming involved in a more poignant scenario covering themes of African heritage and taking action when finding a cause bigger than yourself, and a resulting Robin Hood-esque battle against greater injustice.

"DJANGO UNCHAINED" is not a revenge tale, even if the story does end with the hero getting his revenge. Nor is it about ending slavery. His main goal is to attain his own freedom by helping the German bounty hunter, find his wife and free her any way possible. Most of the people who went to see this movie – regardless of their ethnic background – understood this. However, I wonder if the writer of this article did. "DJANGO UNCHAINED" did portray some very ugly aspects of slavery. But it did not portray the entire aspect of 19th century American slavery. And as a motion picture, there is no way it could have achieved this. Hell, a historical documentary is barely able to achieve this. Anyone with common sense would realize this.
Dear Tom,
As a film critic myself–and author of a long-planned book to be entitled "The Villains"–I took great pleasure in reading all of the foregoing critiques of "Django Unchained", especially the highly intelligent ones of Tom Stoup.
As I have not yet seen "Django Unchained", I can make only highly-limited comments upon it, but I know that those I have to make are quite correct.
First, Tom, as intelligent as your comments are, your claim that Django's desire for mere personal revenge, as opposed to a crusading fervor to end slavery is too limited a feeling for a man who has experienced the all of the brutality and ugliness of slavery is refuted by history itself, in the person of the Thracian slave-turned-gladiator-turned-slave-revolt leader, Spartacus. As the late George MacDonald Fraser, the author of the "Flashman" novels and a veteran screenwright himself, remarked of Spartacus in Fraser's own "The Hollywood History of The World"–and as any historian of the ancient gladiator's uprising will agree–it would be impossible to see the brave Thracian as a revolutionary of any kind, or even as a crusader against slavery, as there is no indication that he had any objective other than to lead only himself and those who followed him to freedom, and not to abolish the entire practice of human enslavement at all.
Also, to say that Django could never be a slaveowner himself is also most historically inaccurate, as many freed black slaves in America went on to own other black slaves themselves.
While I have mixed feelings about Django Unchained, there are good qualities – like cinematography and acting. But there are problems, like writing and editing and S. Jackson's character. As Tom mentions, Django and Broomhilda are underdeveloped characters, and several scenes, particularly the dinner scene, could use an edit. Tarantino's movie rewrites history as entertainment, and pits the black protagonist against a comedic stereotype. I wonder if the movie Lincoln would be elevated with numerous uses of the n-word.
While I'd hope to be less curt than tmk, I'm basically in agreement with his/her response.
I think that far from being reprehensible, "Django Unchained" is a long overdue and much needed attempt to redress the conspicuous dearth of depictions of slavery in American popular culture.
I'm not sure what you mean by your suggestion that "the film steers clear from directly addressing its own subject matter," but I profoundly disagree with the notion that "Django Unchained" uses slavery purely as a pretext for exploitative violence. Indeed, I think the opposite is true.
First, I think it's crucially important to draw a distinction between the manner in which the film depicts violence against white characters as against black characters. While, yes, the violence enacted against white characters is generally cartoonish, cathartic and very much intended to entertain, the violence enacted against slaves in "Django Unchained" is, in every instance, utterly repugnant by design.
I sense a very deliberate intent by Tarantino to represent the full extent of the dehumanizing cruelty perpetrated against African Americans under slavery, and to do so in a manner that is neither sadistic nor titillating, as his representations of violence so often are.
The Mandingo fight in Candie's club, for example, is absolutely gut-wrenching, and the scene is cut in a manner – via insert shots of the blithe reactions of Sheba and Butch – that specifically draws attention to the way that southern gentility was a veneer for cruelty and barbarism.
The other instances of anti-slave violence – d'Artagnan torn apart by dogs, Hildy in the hot box, Django's near castration – are equally stomach turning, and, I think, a fairly clear attempt to present an inventory of the utter moral degradation slavery represented.
So, contrary to your assertion that Tarantino is using slavery merely to delineate good characters from bad, I think what he's actually doing is asking contemporary audiences to confront slavery's horrors head-on. And while you quite correctly note that Tarantino shied away from depicting some of the worst atrocities of the Holocaust in "Basterds," the simple fact is that, in terms of representations in popular culture, the horrors of the Holocaust are far more familiar than those of slavery.
While contemporary audiences probably abhor slavery implicitly, "Django Unchained" exposes viewers to the shocking reality of slavery in all its gory details. (Frankly, unlike Spike Lee, I think it would have been disrespectful to my ancestors had it not done so.) Furthermore, I think that in taking his depictions of slavery to such graphic extremes, Tarantino is providing viewers of with a sense of just how profoundly pernicious slavery was, and why we still continue to live under its legacy of hatred.
I also think the Stephen character is crucial to Tarantino's endeavour here, and that you give him short shrift. The fact that Tarantino makes the film's arch villain a cunning race traitor is a masterstroke, and a powerful representation of how profoundly the racism entailed by slavery became internalized in the American psyche. Stephen is arguably the film's most intelligent character (he's certainly sharper than Candie, and any other white character in the film, bar perhaps Shultz), but even he is compelled to betray Django because he's under the influence of a pervasively poisonous ideology. And when he tells Django that Django will "never leave Candyland" (or something to that effect, I've seen the film twice, but can't remember the precise phrasing), I think Tarantino is making none-too-subtle reference to the fact that racism in America is still very much a virulent force.
To address some of your other points more briefly:
I don't know how anyone is under the impression that Tarantino plays the ill-education of any slave characters for laughs – again, I think his intent is precisely the opposite. Yes, Tarantino does use Django's quick grasp of the word "positive" to provide a punchline for the felling of the final Brittle brother, but at no point does Tarantino intend to poke fun at a slave for being ill-educated, and anyone who laughed at Django's limited vocabulary in the early scenes is revealing something ugly (or, to be charitable, immature) about themselves.
As to your referencing Candie ridiculing a slave – again, I take the precise opposite view of this moment. Tarantino intends Candie to be the object of ridicule here. Candie is foppish, Francophile who doesn't speak French, who doesn't know that "prost" is a German toast, and who doesn't know that Alexandre Dumas was black. For all his pretentious toward sophisticated European enlightenment, he is a smug, hypocritical dullard. When he pokes fun at a slave, he further reinforces his own lack of moral stature.
You state that "Basterds" wasn't about a personal vendetta, but if Shosanna Dreyfus recording a message and proclaiming her own face "the face of Jewish vengeance" isn't personal, I don't know what is. In the same way, Django's personal mission comes to stand in for something larger — to represent the fact that African Americans were often agents of their own emancipation in the way that a film like Lincoln (good as it is) ignores. You also seem to take exception with the fact that Django merely frees the slaves in the wagon at the end of the film, rather than enlisting them to join his personal quest. Would his asking them to risk their lives for his cause really have been a more honorable option? Is it really not gratifying enough that they are merely free to make good an escape?
I do grant you that Tarantino could have offered us a few ancillary black characters who were less passive, but Django's stature as a lone avenger is clearly partly a reflection of the film's Spaghetti Western influences, and I'm willing to grant Tarantino some creatively liberty here. Would "Django Unchained" have been a more profoundly redemptive experience if it had portrayed a broader range of rebellious black characters? Probably. But was that Tarantino's obligation? Certainly not.
The Blaxploitation cinema of the 70s was well and good, but as empowering as those films were, they were also niche items, reaching a relatively small audience. Tarantino, on the other hand, has made a film that is no less empowering, but that is also entertaining and high-profile enough to appeal mass audiences. More importantly still, he's done so in a way that refuses to diminish or elide the brutal reality – something that Hollywood has been guilty of for far too long.
I'm a fan of Django Unchained. I liked the film a lot, so we are at odds here, but I do highly respect your opinion, especially since it breaks the trend of universal blind acclaim.
I enjoyed reading everything you had to say about the film. I disagree with many aspects that you criticized such as playing slavery for laughs and the need for a larger uprising towards the end. I can understand the want for Django to fight back as a group with other men in his situation, but it is a bit of an individual story. It is a fairy tale of sorts.
I also second Trevor's opinion that with the added scenes it would be possible for some of your problems with the film to be less of an issue. Some of the things that were completely taken out of the film are three or four scenes involving Stephen and Django explaining their relationship and why they hate each other, and Broomhilda's backstory. The backstory alone would have added around 15 minutes to the film and completely fleshed out her character, and as someone who felt her character was thin this would have been good for me. After reading the script it became very evident that what is on the page and what ended up on the screen are two very different things. The ending is even different. QT changed a lot from script to screen and I would love to know your thoughts on the script if you ever get around to reading it. Right now it is available on the weinstein's website
Hey Tom.
"Django Unchained" is my favourite film of 2012 that I've thus far watched, so naturally the above article and I do not see eye-for-eye. But as usual, you express your opinions elegantly and I enjoy reading your analyses on film.
I still had minor issues with the film, myself. There were some backstory scenes in the screenplay removed from the film that I felt could have enriched it further, and perhaps have provided the character development you felt was lacking.
Secondly, Tarantino has not improved as an actor since "Pulp Fiction" and that part should have been played by somebody else – anybody else. It was a little distracting.
Tom, I'm sure we would love to share our interpretations but its extremely clear through your over written piece that all you would do is over write a response with your bias well intact. You used so many 5 dollar words in your piece to try to sound intelligent but it was actually quite incoherent and laughable.
I would assume that you over analyze any and everything around you too much to appreciate actual entertainment, so, carry on. I came across your piece on accident and became so enthralled with the ignorance I was reading that I just had to finish it. Sounds kind of like certain crappy, shameful, and yes, negative movies that make millions of dollars.
I have to agree that, perhaps, you didn't "get" the film. While I agree that Django's relationship with Broomhilda and Broomhilda herself were underdeveloped (I would have killed for another fifteen minutes to properly develop that), I found Foxx's performance to be the best of the bunch. It was subtle yet explosive (the dogs for subtlety and the whipping for explosive) and gave a visual explanation for his agony. There are also two drawn out scenes (mandingo and dogs) which serve not to entertain with their violence, but to force the viewer into an incredibly uncomfortable position by confronting them with the brutality of slavery as well as adding to Django's development by showing his walk through hell. Also, every white character in the film is morally compromised. While we are meant to like Schultz, he starts off by "using slavery to his advantage" and then feels paternalistic of the man he just set free. Schultz is by no means angelic and he is also a hot head which leads to his eventual demise. This leaves Django as the only truly heroic figure in the film.
Finally, I think that saying that all films taking place in the antebellum south having to be structured in the specific way that you mentioned (one freed slave rising up a revolution with his oppressed brothers and sisters) is very limiting. This revenge fantasy was not about Django's revenge against the slave owners, and there's an argument to be made that it should have been. While I respect that, as a character study, having Django's true test be overcoming Stephen's character (who represents apologism for slavery rather than slavery itself) was incredibly interesting. Yes it was a revenge fantasy and yes it could have been more of a slavery overcoming oppression film than it was. But the character of Django having to overcome something that he could be (an apologist slave) rather than something he could never truly be a part of (slave owners) makes his transformation all the more poignant. Its not just a revenge film, but a film about overcoming an incredible personal struggle.
So yes, I feel that you did miss something. But the post is very interesting and raises many fair points none the less.
You did not get this movie at all.

"He probably thought he fell on the stage when he was born," says Kent Stowell of his eldest son. That was 1966; Kent was a dancer with the New York City Ballet, working under Balanchine, the most revered American ballet master and choreographer of all time. Kent's wife and Christopher's mother, Francia Russell, a former company member, was the ballet mistress. (Balanchine, naturally, was one of the first people to make a congratulatory visit to the Stowells' West 69th Street apartment after Christopher's birth. Seeing the 5-pound, 14-ounce infant, he is said to have remarked, "Not as bad as I expected.")
When Stowell turned 4, his parents moved to Germany to dance with the Bavarian State Ballet in Munich, then went on to become the artistic directors of the Frankfurt Ballet. Stowell went to a German kindergarten dressed in lederhosen; evenings and weekends, he accompanied his parents to the theater. When the family returned to the States in 1977 so that Kent and Francia could take the helm of the then-flailing five-year-old Pacific Northwest Ballet in Seattle, their 11-year-old son, a Tchaikovsky and Mozart fan who had never seen a Dairy Queen, found it difficult to make friends with the neighborhood children in the Bellevue suburbs. But in the classes he took at his parents' ballet school, he found a familiar environment and a ready-made social life. And at age 14, he decided he'd also found a professional and artistic calling.
His parents discouraged him: Like his father, Christopher had stiff hips, a severe handicap in achieving "turnout," the outward rotation of the hips that is essential to ballet's physical aesthetic. He was also short—and unlikely, at 5-foot-6, to be cast in the danseur noble roles of heroes and princes. "We felt it was a hard profession," his father recalls. "He had a difficult body—it was not a supple body; it had to be shaped."
But Stowell overcame his physical shortcomings, traveling to New York during his high school summers to study at the School of American Ballet, the professional academy of the company where his parents had worked 20 years earlier. The fall after graduating from high school, he joined the school full time, and the following spring (despite having been sidelined from class and rehearsals due to a broken foot), he performed starring roles in the school's annual show. Although the New York City Ballet (NYCB) didn't offer him a contract—a grave but short-lived disappointment—the incoming artistic director for the San Francisco Ballet (SFB), Helgi Tomasson, did. He hired Stowell, sans audition, based on word of mouth and excellent reviews.
Founded in 1933, the San Francisco Ballet is the country's oldest ballet company. But it took Tomasson, a former NYCB dancer, to make it a force of national stature—using Stowell as one of his prime instruments. In Stowell, Tomasson saw a dancer who was quick to learn, articulate in his movements, and charismatic. Naturally, given his artistic lineage, Stowell executed Balanchine ballets with flair, displaying the proper cleanness of line and quick-footed musicality. But Stowell's more traditional roles also were memorable (he pulled off the role of Mercutio in Tomasson's own Romeo and Juliet with rare "skill and maturity," Tomasson recalls), and before long, eminent contemporary choreographers were creating roles for Stowell in new works commissioned by SFB. Moreover, Stowell was the beneficiary as Tomasson plucked dancers and instructors from around the globe whose broad range of dance backgrounds enhanced Stowell's early, Balanchine-influenced training.
By the time he retired from dancing after spending 16 years with SFB, Stowell was a virtuoso dancer. Owing to his intelligence and curiosity, he was also an advanced trainee in the art of ballet directing. He spent the next two years roaming the country (he also detoured through Japan), choreographing and working as an assistant director for regional ballet and opera companies. Then he got a call informing him that Oregon Ballet Theatre was searching for a new artistic director. During the summer of 2002 he crafted a point-by-point, three-year plan for the company, and was invited to begin work on July 1 of the following year.

April Spotlight: Center for Small Towns
1) Describe the work of your office
The University of Minnesota, Morris Center for Small Towns (CST) is a community outreach program that serves as a point-of-entry to the resources of the University of Minnesota. Small towns, local units of government, k-12 schools, nonprofit organizations, and other University units are able to utilize the Center's resources as they work on rural issues or make contributions to rural society. Their mission is to focus the University's attention and marshal its resources toward assisting Minnesota's small towns with locally identified issues by creating applied learning opportunities for faculty and students. CST provides assistance on community and economic development projects--often involving more research or expertise than small towns can afford or provide for themselves. At the same time, CST works to involve University of Minnesota, Morris faculty and students in the challenges and issues facing rural communities, which provides students with rich opportunities for applied learning.
The Center for Small Towns exists on four main cornerstones to assist small towns in brokering and collaboration; convening activities; community support; and research, information, data analysis, and reporting services for small towns. At the center in this web of methodologies is University of Minnesota, Morris students. While CST does have a large range of goals, one of the unique things about the organization is that there is not specific programming, but rather the ability to adapt services to the current needs of rural communities. CST would not be able to offer its unique and expansive range of initiatives and projects without the hard work and dedication of the students that work in the office. Students take the forefront in connecting small towns with resources, bringing members of communities and organizations together, building and working on community centered projects, as well as creating, analyzing and organizing complex sets of data for communities.
CST doesn't only focus on specific projects, but aims to broaden its reach, interact, and connect with more communities throughout the state, through the Small Town Harvesting initiative. CST sends two staffers out on the road regularly to meet with and hear from individuals and organizations within small towns all over the state. The goal is to be on the road once or twice a month, and to record and detail the visits to paint a better picture of rural communities in Minnesota, as well as better understand where the Center's place as an outreach center is in that system.
2) What is a current engagement project your unit is working?
The Center for Small Towns has a multitude of diverse and ambitious projects being actively worked on and waiting on deck to be put into progress when resources are available. Because of CST's four main methodologies it's hard to look at just one project that the unit is working on because everything CST does is collaboration, and falls under different aspects of the Center's cornerstones. Currently there are four different projects that all together exemplify the broad range of CST's skill set and talents.
Currently CST is working to collect and analyze data for Lac qui Parle (LqP) County's "Computer Commuter" initiative which focuses on bringing comprehensive technology education to the county as a whole, and making that information accessible. The LqP Computer Commuter consists of a small reconstituted bus now filled with active mobile technology workstations. Community members board the vehicle and then can receive one on one training and attention from staff members on the bus. Two CST students are currently gathering statistical and qualitative information on the success and reach of the initiative, and plan to present a report and summary of what they've found out regarding the initiative.
The Center for Small Towns is also actively working with community support in the Starbuck community just outside of Morris. One student employee, also a native of Starbuck, is working to help update the local Chamber of Commerce's website with local businesses. He is also serving businesses directly by providing other internet services as well, including setting up their facebook, and making them searchable on Google Maps. By directly interacting with communities and their needs CST hopes to help improve the commerce and availability of businesses in the area.
In the area of brokering and collaboration CST is working in conjunction with the 4-Township area and the University's own faculty at the Data Services Center. CST worked closely with both student and faculty in creating a survey about the economic profile for the 4-Township area which exists just below the Boundary Waters in Northern Minnesota. After the release of the survey Engin Sungur, a Statistics Professor at the University of Minnesota, Morris, and also a key contact at the Data Services Center, will be working closely with CST to draw up both a statistical analysis as well as report on the findings.
Currently CST is engaged in creating and running a summit intended to convene rural leaders, the rural development industry, and artists all together at the University of Minnesota, Morris on June 5 and 6. The Rural Arts and Culture Summit is a joint venture between the Center for Small Towns and Springboard for the Arts and will engage rural minded individuals from throughout Minnesota and its surrounding states to stimulate new ideas for small towns to continue to not only survive, but thrive. The Summit has a specific focus on uniting rural economic developers with rural artists to create change that can work with and encompass every aspect of rural communities.
3) What neighborhoods/communities/counties/etc. is this project partnering with?
The Center for Small towns reaches a large and diverse number of communities throughout Minnesota, but also beyond state borders when engaging in projects like the Rural Arts and Culture Summit. The Center has reached communities extending up by the boundary waters, as well as communities practically on the Center's doorstep. The communities CST works with are many, and diverse. The only requirement for a community to work with the Center is that its population is at or below 5,000 residents.
4) What impact is this project having/expect to have?
The Center for Small Towns hopes to create a positive impact on both the Morris campus community as well as the overall well-being of rural communities throughout the state. By reaching out to as many communities as possible (in the Small Town Harvest for example) the Center hopes that it can continue to diversify and broaden its outreach to communities throughout the state. The Center for Small Towns also offers opportunities for University students to learn and explore their talents as well as work closely and develop a relationship with small towns. The impact of the Center for Small Towns extends beyond any individual project, but instead seeks to positively impact both the campus community members as well as the members of small towns.

Normal banking operations were hit on Wednesday as employees of public sector banks went on a two-day strike in response to a call given by central trade unions to press for wage hike in the backdrop of rising inflation.
There are 26 public sector banks with employees strength of around 10 lakh.
Apprehending disruption in their normal banking operations, many banks had already informed their customers about the proposed strike.
Sources said banks have already taken steps to ensure that the public did not face problems at least on the cash front during the strike period. They have fed additional cash in ATMs to meet the needs of their customers.
The nation-wide strike call has been given by United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU), consisting of nine national level unions, including AIBEA, NCBE, BEFI, INBEF, NOBW and AIBOC.
The bank strike is part of a general strike call given by 11 central trade unions including Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC), All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC), Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS), Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) and All India United Trade Union Centre.
Bank unions are pressing for early wage revision of employees, which they said is due from November 2012. They are also opposing banking sector reforms and any plan for merger of banks.
In December 2012 also, four bank unions went on strike opposing amendments carried out in Banking Regulation Act and Banking Companies Act, enabling foreign equity in public sector banks.

Whats wrong with these "officials"....I bet if it was one of the council's homes or one of their friends or families, this would have been fixed immediately and they would have been compensated for their losses. Sure doesn't say much for Goodrich.
this sounds like a problem which needs to be corrected immediately, certainly not years as suggested by the process described in this article. Someone in local government had to issue permits for the house to be built......it certainly isn't the homeowners fault and they shouldn't have had to deal with this disaster at all, let alone be financially responsible for it. The township and county should make this house livable again and fix the drain problem to prevent it from happening again.
