Great Film with a wonderful script !

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2013)

I honestly went to see the movie 3 times never deterred by the nearly three hour running time of the film. Jamie Foxx delivers his best performance and I credit him and Tarantino for a such a great role. I think such a conceptual film really brought out the amazing actor that Foxx really is. Even Kerry Washington's role was not a small one, because her purpose in the film with limited speaking roles really captured the viewer. Her role was so important to the character of Django that there has to be a great female actress to take on the real and she was perfect for it. The accents of comedy throughout the film in a sense relieved a small amount of the tension that was developed from the portrayal of blacks, whites, slaves, and masters in the early south. I think the grit and brutality of the film gave the film so much more life and Tarantino was definitely the guy to put that together and I commend him for it. Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel L. Jackson were great and very convincing in their roles making them either very unlikable or vice-versa. Personally, I feel that Samuel L. Jackson in front of the camera and Tarantino behind it is a combination of greatness because together they make great films. As a viewer you are generally drawn in to the journey that is embarked on and invested in the goal that Django is trying to achieve. Two Thumbs Up!
