Django Unchained

It’s a Quentin Tarantino movie so it’s obviously bloody, has lots of dialog, cursing, and great! OK well maybe not every movie is great but most of his movies are very entertaining even with what seems like pages of dialog thrown out at you within seconds. This movie follows a slave that has been freed by a bounty hunter. The bounty hunter ends up training him and as long as Django helps him then at the end of the job he would be set free. The story is great. It takes place during the point in American history of slavery and Plantation owners. There are more than enough big named actors in this movie.


Visually it looks like the old American days. The camera work easily points to that of Tarantino as well. As soon as the blood begins to not just sprinkle out after a gunshot but waterfalls out you can again tell its a Tarantino movie. If the room or wall behind the person that has been shot does not had pure red behind him then it means he didn't use enough.


The bad rap on this movie came from the use of the terrible “N” word. That word was used in that point in time and if you are making a period piece like this is and dealing with that subject matter then it’d be disingenuous to not use it. It doesn't take you out of the movie or ruin it. You don't even realize it was said most of the time. This movie won lots of awards so for me to review it is almost a worthless thing to do but nonetheless it is a movie well worth watching.


Entertainment - 9/10
Visuals - 8/10
Story - 9/10
