Iconic Movie Scenes
Context of the scene : During the intense scene in which Calvin Candie explained the debunked science of phrenology, DiCaprio slammed his hand down on a table containing several glasses, shattering one and slicing his hand in the process. Refusing to break character despite the heinous injury, DiCaprio continued the take while picking actual pieces of broken glass from the wound. Django Unchained was one of DiCaprio's best movies not only because of the overall quality of the picture itself, but because he was so committed to the part that he literally bled for it. Tarantino movies often had a reputation for being bloody, but the blood was all real during Candie's monologue.
