Awesome piece of art

Rating: 9/10 (8 April 2015)

Django unchained by Quentin Tarantino is by all standards Quentin's most innovative movie till date. The western setting and the theme of slavery gave Quentin all the opportunity he could wish for to enact another neo-realistic piece of art with no holds barred. First of all, the concept of the black slave who becomes a hero in a setting that many could only have imagined would hold nothing but despair and battery for a black man in that era was totally unexpected. The depictions of the innate desires of the slave masters was well established with no attempt whatsoever to ton down their excesses for the sake of cinema. This leaves the viewer awe-struck and unsure of what to expect next. Though violent, Quentin in his signature neo-realistic representation managed to keep the viewer secretly yearning for more violence in every new scene; with the image of the preceding scene still fresh in the viewer's mind because of the unexpected twist that always brings about the demise of the characters represented. And of course, the western touch always gives room for dramatic gun battles that viewers can never get tired of - reminiscent of old classics from way back such as For a few dollars more and The good, the bad and the ugly.
