'Django Unchained' is another
exceptional masterpiece by "Quentin Tarantino” that will constantly offer
you pleasure, excitement, and dark humor, and will definitely please Tarantino
fans and everybody else.
The
story takes place in 1858. 'Dr. King Schultz'(Christoph Waltz), a bounty
hunter, buys 'Django'(Jamie Foxx), a slave who got separated from his wife
'Broomhilda'(Kerry Washington), in order to help him search for the 'Speck'
Brothers, the owners of 'Django', and kill them. After completing his mission
'Dr. Shultz' makes 'Django' his bounty hunting partner and they decide to search
for 'Broomhilda', after Django' helps him kill all the people on his list. The
film includes also 'Calvin J. Candie'(Leonardo DiCaprio), 'Broomhilda''s owner,
'Stephen'(Samuel L. Jackson), 'Calvin''s trusted senior home slave,
'Stephen'(Walton Goggins), 'Calvin''s companion and protector, and 'Leonide
Moguy'(Dennis Christopher).
This 'Western movie' has become one of my best movies of this genre. I will
confess to not watching it until recently, due to my hesitation. But when I
watched it I was pleased. I was a little bit disappointed since I expected a
little bit more, after hearing all the positive reactions. However, this does not diminish the awesomeness of the film in any way. The movie has great pace, even though the time frame is a little
bit long (2 hours and 45 minutes). The style of this movie, from the font to
its theme, was really awesome. It has been a while since a good western movie
has come out, and I am pleased that 'Django Unchained' was the movie that
emerged.
"Quentin Tarantino" is truly a genius. Many criticize his work, but
his vision of each movie he makes and his application always amazes people.
With this movie, he did a good job incorporating the exact amount of
grittiness. The way they dealt with slavery was good, and many critics liked
this aspect of the movie. The story was really good and somehow original;
furthermore, the music they used was great especially the song 'Django' from
the 1966 movie 'Django'.
The
cast of this movie was really good and the level of acting was great.
"Jamie Foxx" really surprised me. I never thought he could pull this
off, but he proved everyone wrong. And the way he took this character and was
able to lead this movie was an exciting thing to watch. The star of this movie
is "Christoph Waltz", which is proven when he won the Oscar for 'Best
Actor in a Supporting Role'. He was definitely the best actor amongst this
amazing cast. The chemistry and relationship between both "Foxx"'s
and "Waltz"'s characters was fun and exciting to watch. "Leonardo
DiCaprio" is another actor who totally surprised me. I was skeptical of his
success but again I was proven wrong. He brought something to the character
that made everyone love his portrayal. "Kerry Washington" was
beautiful to watch. I think she is one of the most underrated actresses and to
see her being given a chance was satisfying. And it was totally believable her
character's love towards 'Django'. "Samuel L. Jackson" as usual was
great, no one can argue about that. The other supporting cast also did a
great job. It should be mentioned that “Franco Nero” star of the 1966 movie ‘Django’
makes a special appearance in this movie, as well as director "Quentin Tarantino".

The
opening scene was really good; it directly gets you into the movie and the way
it will continue. Liked the evolution of 'Django''s character, from the way he
started to the way he finished. During the middle, there were some scenes or
moments that could have been removed, but overall each scene was crucial for
the plot's development. One of my favorite scenes was when "Jonah
Hill" made an appearance in the scene where a bunch of men wanted to kill
'Shultz' and 'Django'. It was really funny and a good way to incorporate comedy
to the film.

Gritty, bold, western, and powerful are words that could describe 'Django
Unchained'. I do advice people who haven't watched it yet to hurry up and watch it. You won't regret it. Especially since it has become “Taratino”’s biggest box office hit movie. But
be aware there are a lot of blood and some violent scenes.
