There's Nothing Like It...Except

Rating: 9/10 (17 April 2013)

The only thing that you can compare this Movie to is another Tarantino. That is what makes his releases so anticipated. Love them or hate them they are singular. He is his own contemporary. It might be noticed that many of the criticisms for this one are..."it is just more of that Tarantino stuff...haven't you done this before".
Well, of course he has. He likes it. So do Audiences and Critics. So why not? He is still young and will most likely do more, extend himself, and try new ways. But why now when he is having so much success at entertaining himself as well as many others.
Once again, there isn't anything remotely like Django Unchained, except maybe his own Inglorious Basterds (2009). It has its "roots" in the Spaghetti Western, somewhat in Blaxploitation, but mostly its a satire on the modern mindset, still in existence, of the inferiority of lesser Races with genetic deficiencies. Because that's the way God intended. The most telling of all the anti-White scenes is at the Candyland table and the "Scientific" explanation of why the Slaves don't unchain themselves and fight back against their oppressors (it's in their physiology).
This is a feverish foray into that fight back Fantasyland for shackled people everywhere. A wish fulfillment of revenge without remorse and hatred for those who hated and abused. It is a sometimes funny and a slightly poetic display of modern Pulp Fiction with excessive violence. But for those commenting about the ultra-violent and bloody display, they might think about how ultra-violent and bloody it must have been to really be under the yoke of what is being riffed here.
