Tarantino's best work so far - containing a good amount of shooting scenes and comedy.

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2018)

One of my favorite directors of all time, Quentin Tarantino, did his personal best in this movie. Everything lines up perfectly: the topic, the plot, the action scenes and the brutality (physical and mental). The comedic scenes are a great way to ease things up.
First of all, the topic of slavery in the US.
It's a sensitive topic for sure, but Tarantino's take on it is great. He displays the sheer brutality on the slaves, physical as well as mental brutality, but nonetheless he also not only displays freedom, he makes the viewer FEEL freedom. When Django finally escapes slavery once and for all, and he frees that horse, and rides that horse without a saddle or anything, I felt liberated too. Of course, the topic of revenge also plays a good role. Because Django not only frees himself from slavery, he gets his revenge full-on. He doesn't half-ass things. He gives the people exactly what they deserve. And you not only see these things happening, you feel these things. You feel with Django.
Action scenes are what make this feeling happening, in my opinion. Of course there's blood, a lot of it. Because obviously Quentin Tarantino doesn't miss one opportunity to create a bloody, brutal mess. And yes, things are probably exaggerated. It's not a hundred percent historically correct. There is no "Mandingo" in real life. But also, it could have been real, right? I wouldn't be shocked. So in a way, the movie displays history pretty good. Even though it's not all correct, you get a good idea of how it must've felt for black people to be slaves.
The comedic scenes were good, too. Especially the KKK scene was funny and also took some threat off the KKK.
Now let's talk about acting - Waltz, DiCaprio and Foxx in the same movie, directed by Tarantino, what could possibly go wrong? Not much. But Quentin directed it in a way that it became RIGHT. The actors were perfect for their characters, there's not much more to say to that.
All in all, I recommend this movie to everybody who isn't too sensitive on blood, shootings and brutality in general. To me, it's a Must-see, especially as a Tarantino-Fan.
