One of the best westerns "of all time" without a doubt! When will we see the sequel?

Rating: 10/10 (21 November 2013)

Wow! You just can't beat watching a good Western, Action, Comedy, Thriller all wrapped up in to one great film for the history books. Then to top it all off why not have it directed by Quentin Tarantino and have your lead actor played by Jamie Foxx dressed to the nines in his nice blue velvet suit and frilly white scarf that reminds us of the renowned painting "The Blue Boy" by the English painter/artist Thomas Gainsborough. Django Unchained will certainly go down in the history books of cinema as a true classic work of cinema art.
The film was only nominated for five Academy Awards and ended up winning only two for Best Writing,Original Screenplay (Quentin Tarantino) and for Best Supporting Actor (Christopher Waltz). Personally I felt this film should have received several more nominations and won at least a few more Oscars. It is "that good a movie" that I have added it to my library of Classic Films of all time.
To those viewers who felt Tarantino went over the top, I say to you that Quentin is still relatively a young man and you have not seen anything yet. Tarantino plays a small role in this film and how he writes his own character out of the film is just pure genius and sure to be talked about for centuries by those avid film goers and masters of the creative arts.
There is a very strong supporting cast with names such as Kerry Washington, Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L Jackson (he was better in Django Unchained than he was in Pulp Fiction if that is possible), James Remar, Walton Goggins, Don Johnson, M. C. Gainey, Michael Parks, and Ato Essandoh to name just a few of this brilliant cast of characters. I felt that all the actors put their heart and soul in to this film and it certainly was reflected on the big screen.
One of my favorite scenes (and I had many favorite scenes) occurs relatively early in the film when the slave Django (played by none other than Jamie Foxx) accompanies a bounty hunter named Dr. King Schultz (played by Christopher Waltz) in to a towns local saloon to sit down and have a pint of cold beer. The slave Django is well aware and truly frightened to be sitting in a white mans saloon but at the coaxing of his rescuer Dr. King Schultz who promises Django an explanation shortly Django accepts the cold and refreshing beer while his curiosity about Dr. Schultz is getting the better of Django. What happens next is so bizarre that I would be spoiling the film for new viewers, but I will say it was simply a brilliant piece of screen writing.
If you are a fan of Director Sergio Leone's and actor Clint Eastwood's 1960 spaghetti westerns trilogy than we the fans must demand that Quentin Tarantino and Jamie Foxx agree to sign on for two more sequels to Django Unchained and complete their own classic western trilogy as epic as A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, The Bad and the Ugly were to the 1960's. With Django Unchained they have a great start for a box office trilogy bonanza!
