So Tarantino finally does a spaghetti western. But with a touch of soul. I'm aware that a lot of people on the internet complain that Tarantino is unoriginal or overrated. In my opinion, Quentin makes some decent flicks. And I like listening to the dialogues between his characters.
I'm also aware that Django Unchained got a lot of heat for the over-use of the "N" word. Luckily, lead actor, Jamie Foxx came to Quentin's rescue. I do have to say that most of the characters who use the "N" word are very hateful characters. And they do get what they deserve.
So the movie is about Django, a slave during the 1800's. He is rescued by Dr. King Schultz, a bounty hunter disguised as a dentist. Schultz takes Django in as his assistant and they ride around killing white folks who are slave traders, collect their bounty and then sell the bodies to doctors. While going around and killing, Schultz is also trying to help Django look for his wife, who was sold by their previous owner. Dr. Schultz finds out that a plantation owner by the name of Calvin Candie, owns a slave that speaks German. They visit Candie and offer him to buy one of his slaves. When Candie's house slave, Stephen finds out the real reason why Dr. Schultz and Django are there, he tell's Candie and everything turns to a bloody mess.
I have to say that Tarantino has really made up for Death Proof (which was one of his weakest films). Christoph Waltz is just lovable. Bette than his "Jew Hunter" character in "Inglorious Basterds". Jamie Foxx is a bad arse. And Leonardo DiCaprio did an amazing job as Calvin Candie. And even though it was a small role (but effective), Samuel L. Jackson was fun to watch, too.
If you're familiar with Quentin Tarantino's films and enjoy his dialogues and violence, then you will love Django Unchained. The soundtrack was also great. I have to say that Tarantino has some good taste in music. And just because a movie says the "N" word like a hundred times, it doesn't mean the movie is racist.
