  DJANGO UNCHAINED 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY QUENTIN TARANTINO 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Django Unchained is a 2012 Western film directed by Quentin Tarantino. Set in the pre-Civil War South, it follows Django, a freed slave, who teams up with Dr. King Schultz, a German bounty hunter, to track down the notorious Brittle brothers. As they work together, Django seeks to rescue his wife, Broomhilda, from the brutal plantation owner, Calvin Candie. The film explores themes of slavery, revenge, and justice, with Tarantino’s signature blend of dark humor, stylized violence, and sharp dialogue. It offers a revisionist take on the Western genre, blending historical commentary with cinematic spectacle. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “During the filming of a dinner scene, Leonardo DiCaprio had to stop because he found it difficult to use so many racial slurs. Samuel L. Jackson pulled him aside and told him, "Motherfucker, this is just another Tuesday for us." 
    
  “Jamie Foxx used his own horse, Cheetah, in the movie, a horse he received as a birthday gift four years prior. 
    
  “Leonardo DiCaprio was uncomfortable playing such a racist character. However, Tarantino convinced him to portray the character in an even more menacing manner, assuring him that if he didn't take it to the extreme, people would hold it against him forever. 
    
  “According to critic Alex Ross, the alliance between Django (Jamie Foxx) and Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) is not as unrealistic as it may seem. In the 1840s, many German revolutionaries and progressives left Europe for the U.S., where they often became involved in the anti-slavery movement.

  Mapuche Empire - The Defenders...

  The origins of the Mapuche people trace back thousands of years, long before the arrival of Europeans in South America. They are one of the most resilient and enduring indigenous groups in the region, with a deep-rooted history in present-day Chile and Argentina. Archaeological evidence suggests that their ancestors inhabited these lands for at least 2,000 years, developing a distinct culture shaped by the diverse landscapes of the Andean foothills, valleys, and coastal regions. 
  The name "Mapuche" itself reflects their strong connection to the land, as it derives from "mapu" (earth) and "che" (people), meaning "people of the land." This bond influenced their way of life, from agriculture to spiritual beliefs. They cultivated maize, potatoes, quinoa, and beans while also engaging in hunting, fishing, and gathering. Unlike some of the great civilizations of South America, such as the Inca or the Maya, the Mapuche did not build massive stone cities. Instead, they lived in small, scattered settlements made up of rucas, traditional thatched-roof houses constructed from wood and straw, designed to withstand the varied climate of their territories. 
  Language played a crucial role in shaping the Mapuche identity. They spoke Mapudungun, a unique language that remains central to their culture today. Unlike the Quechua language of the Andes, which spread widely due to the influence of the Inca Empire, Mapudungun remained relatively isolated, preserving its distinct linguistic structure. Oral tradition was the primary means of passing down knowledge, with elders recounting stories, myths, and historical events that shaped the collective memory of the Mapuche people.
