Outstanding! Will see it again!

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2013)

I waited with anticipation after I first saw the announcement for this movie many months ago. Mt girlfriend and I went to see it last weekend, and haven't been able to stop talking about it. Fantastic movie! Jamie, you owned that role! Samuel Jackson, dayum!!! I thought Chuck Conners in Roots was the most vile, racist character every. Sir, you just took the cake! As far as the N-word is concerned, I grew up in the south in the 60's and heard it all the time. It was not overused in my opinion. It's bloody. Some scenes my girlfriend had to hide her eyes. But we want to see it again. Do not let the negative views of film critics, other directors, etc. prevent you from seeing an excellent production. I listened to an interview of Quentin Tarantino by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. (look for the podcast on The Root) where he discussed the who, what, where, when, and why behind Django. Through his vision, and the great acting from the cast, a very enjoyable movie.
