Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2014)

Django Unchained a Western film that takes place in America's pre-Civil War South when slavery still existed.It stars Jamie Foxx and Leonardo DiCaprio together with Kerry Washington,Christoph Waltz and Samuel L. Jackson.It was written and directed by Quentin Tarantino.
The story is about a partnership between an African-American slave named Django and a German-born bounty hunter,Dr. Schultz,who is on disguise as a dentist.They are on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers and finding Django's long lost wife,Broomhilda from her cruel plantation owner named Calvin Candie.Initially,Schultz bought his partner as a slave from outlaws.But he promised him freedom and split the bounties with him if he assists him in hunting down other outlaws throughout the winter.Django agreed as long on the condition that they must also find Broomhilda.Added to story is Django's training as a bounty hunter.All ends well when Django takes Broomhilda from her cell,bids farewell to his fallen mentor and ignites the dynamite he has planted throughout the mansion at the end.
This is a 165-minute long film.But in spite of its length,it is definitely not a waste of time as the viewer gets to witness the horrors of slavery in the past in addition to getting another great Spaghetti Western movie in the tradition of The Good,The Bad And The Ugly.It was definitely wildly extravagant,violent,funny and outrageously entertaining yet it also dealt well with the themes of racism and slavery.We are also treated to a exciting performances by the cast especially from DiCaprio who definitely nailed the portrayal of a plantation owner.Finally,we are treated to a clever screenplay and amazing direction from Tarantino that there is no doubt that this adds to his list of great films.
