Typical Tarantino's

Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2013)

Quentin Tarantino never ceases to astonish us with his exceptional ability of making good movies that leave a rather unforgettable impression of his uniqueness.
The movie raises the issue of slavery in the Antebellum Era which is a bit spiky subject to bring around and shows how that the black people themselves were yielding and submissive to such degree that made their own masters' wondering why would not they rise against them, but in the course of the movie we see that this idea is proved wrong.
Aside from that Jamie Foxx was a brilliant choice for the main character, Django, a freed slave who happens to have a great skill in handling a gun also he has this proud bad-ass look that I liked.
Christoph Woltz is such a great actor who was fit for the role of Dr. Schultz, a sophisticated dentist from a German origin who also practices a successful career as a bounty hunter, and it's really interesting how the course of the movie brings him and Django together and how they become partners in pursuing wanted criminals to get the prizes on their heads, then Dr. Shultz decides to help Django to buy his wife's freedom.
The events gradually escalate to gather both of them with Monsiuer Candie, the Francophile slave owner of the Candyland plantation performed by Leo Di Capreo. For me, he was the intriguing element in the movie. I loved his role the most and loved how he took it so seriously especially in the scene when he confronts Dr. Shultz and Django about pulling their elaborate scam on him in order to rescue Django's wife, Broomhilda played by beautiful Kerry Washington, at the moment when he was supposed to slam his hand on the table, he accidentally slammed his hand into glass and had it cut and bled but he did not break character and got his job done perfectly in the most climatic scene in the movie.
Let us not forget about Samuel L. Jackson who played the role of the old servant of the Candie family, Stephen, who appears to be so faithful and obedient to his master and very harsh on his fellow black people, he also ignites the conflict between Dr. Shultz and Monsieur Candie which represents the climax of the story.
I also loved the fingerprint that Tarantino left, as in his other movies, represented by a bloodbath scene and a short cameo of himself which are just a typical trademark of his work.
I believe it is safe to say that this particular picture shows how Tarantino's works have evolved to give us such an incredible combo of both diversity in subjects and an outstanding performance by the cast.
