Tarantino Does It Again

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2013)

Quentin Tarantino brings forth a hero that you can't help but root for in Django Unchained. This film is full of dark humor, which is a staple in any Tarantino film. I was extremely proud of Jamie Foxx's portrayal of the lead character. Django is a man with a purpose. He has something to live for and something he's even willing to die for if necessary. That is what a hero is about. Rounding out a tremendously talented cast are also Kerry Washington, who portrays a damsel in distress, if you will, which is very different from other characters that we have seen her portray. An obvious favorite of Tarantino's, Samuel L. Jackson is cast to play a very controversial character and Leonardo DiCaprio is the necessary evil to Django's hero. If you're a fan of Quentin Tarantino, you will love the cleverly, well written ideologue, action and thought provoking imagery in Django that has become expected of a Tarantino movie. No one makes death on film as poetic as Tarantino does.
