Django Unchained is killer fun. It's an embellished, original tale of devoted retribution set place in the seldom shown slavery stricken South, with an all too uncommon hero, Django, a freed black slave, who vies against a rarely represented adversary, Calvin Candie, a white southern plantation owner, allowing for a really altogether unconventional flick.
Django Unchained is awesome, in one word, in two words, it's Quentin Tarantino. Quentin has done it again with Django. It has radical storytelling and is good-humored with slick action. Tarantino is a visionary with his camera-work. His writing and characters are genius.
Django is acted greatly by star, Jamie Foxx. It's nice to see Foxx again put his talents to good use within the Django character as he brings out the best in himself. Waltz is ideal to play Dr. King Schultz, to spew Tarantino's clever speech. Christoph Waltz and Quentin Tarantino are a match made in heaven. Leonardo DiCaprio is truly awesome as Calvin Candie. Leo again proves that, if he hadn't already, that he is amongst the true elite of actors, the dozen or so best actors/actresses to ever act. Calvin Candie is one of the most loathed, or loved, villains of all-time. DiCaprio further strengthens his career. "Now, WHERE IS MY BEAUTIFUL SISTER!" Kerry Washington is great as Broomhilde even though she doesn't get to show off much. Samuel L. Jackson subsequently owns the show as Stephen. Stephen is the real villain of Django, and Calvin's just the candy.
Django Unchained consists all of these A-1 film basics, these masterful movie elements, but they come in only small bursts. The film has a hard edit that is loose at the ends. It's not sharp enough as it shows as an incomplete editing job, missing more refinement. Django Unchained's primary storyline needed a healthier streaming singular focal point while at the same time it needed better supporting story structure as well. The main plot is too secondary unto the greater plot line of slavery, and thus, the film's a little unflattering. The best points of Django Unchained don't have enough proper framework. The splattering kill effects are very good for the movie, but I didn't get enough of it, up until the end when at which point it comes on too heavy. Django Unchained connects to the audience by self-referencing its viewing, and I enjoy it but it's instituted a tad untidily, and it became a little silly when Quentin himself showed up to say hello. The movie could have used more enhancing sound. The whole movie needed detailed polish. Pretty damn good though, with greatness like Quentin, you start at perfect and work your way down, opposed to vice versa.
I'm careful not to over blow this in mind of Django Unchained's sensitive setting, but Django Unchained is really so funny. Those two jokers, Django and Dr. Schultz, have numerous humorous moments. Calvin Candie has handfuls of laughable lines. The completely comedic sequences with the KKK and the bags, is very amusing. Don Johnson plays a great Big Daddy and he's hilarious. I really crack up at Big Daddy in all his parts. "You want I should treat him like white folks? No, that's not what I said." Jonah Hill is terrible during that scene. Jonah plays stupid really stupid-like.
Django Unchained has incredible horse riding scenery, and a great kudos to the horses whom all did stellar jobs acting, not fully realizing that they were acting on film, all around strong performances.
Django Unchained has a running time of 165 minutes, and it seems to fly by crazy fast. Chalk it up to drawn out, deeply captivating scene after scene, whereas, not one single second of Django is a bore. There is a scene I feel is considerably worse than any other in the movie. At a very crucial juncture, the oriental ode whilst setting the dinner table, with Hilde walking up the stairs to meet and greet King in his chambers, it was missing something, unless I missed something. I estimate Tarantino was going for an unconventional character presentation, nevertheless, it was ill-placed. In Django, Tarantino uses his credentials to taunt and tease the viewer as to what could possibly be next. The biggest gripe about Django Unchained, is this, the movie has its suave, elegant style for the first 2 and more hours that is leading up to one extraordinary ending, but it all gets scrapped, and the movie flips itself into a mindless, shoot-em-up action flick. That was really unappreciated, and is a major reason the movie didn't score higher.
Django Unchained is awfully awesome. Just like Django is 1 in 10,000 exceptional, so is Quentin Tarantino. With the completion and release of Django Unchained, the question is beginning to beg to Tarantino. When, now, are you gonna stop playing around and make again that one serious movie, that Pulp Fiction serious movie?
