An American Western film written by Tarantino about a slave who becomes a bounty hunter.

Rating: 9/10 (28 June 2013)

The newest movie created by Tarantino. In this most recent piece, Tarantino focuses on slavery, and uses many of the common culture induced stereotypes to produce (while not entirely accurately) a story surrounding the theme of black slavery.
When I first turned on this movie, I had absolutely no idea what kind of movie I would be watching because I have never even heard of this movie, I stumbled unto its name at IMDb, and since I had a copy, I would throw it on without any idea what I was about to watch.
It wasn't long before the surprise hit me that this was a Tarantino movie, and after watching Waltz's performance as Dr. Schultz, who as portrayed as just a common dentist, turns to surprise is very quickly by killing two slave owners and freeing the slaves that are bound to them with the attention of free Django.
Not too long after this initial scene does he follow to surprise us more by insulting a nearby village by treating Django more like a welcomed citizen rather than his slave. Not after long, his behaviour gains attention from the law, and a conflict begins between Dr. Schultz and the town Sheriff, which results in the Sheriff being shot point blank.
It is only after the deputy appears does Dr. Schultz's true identity and intentions are revealed. As it turns out, he is actually a bounty hunter, and the Sheriff was actually a wanted man.
These surprising turn of events actually becomes the premise of the film.
Waltz, who portrays Doc Schultz might not seem familiar to you at first, but he's more well known as Hans Landa from Inglorious Basterds. Being an unfamiliar face in modern cinema, he is clearly no stranger in modern Tarantino films.
Jamie Foxx stars as the notorious Django, who now got a new leash on life (pun intended). As a bounty hunter, and partner of Schultz, he gets to take revenge on the white man on a journey to save his wife who was sold to a wealthy man named Candie (portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio).
After a clever plan to gain Candie's trust by pretending to be a black slave owner, Django and his bounty hunter partner/mentor are invited to Candie's home where the true antagonist of the film is revealed.
A racist senior house slave named Stephen (portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson). When this character first appears on the screen, he surprises audiences in an uncomfortable unsettling but mildly humorous manner. Stephen, being such a loyal slave to his master has been so determined and pervasive that he doesn't even seem to realize that he himself is black, it is apparent through his notable racism against the blacks.
His role as the antagonist greatly improve as the story unfolds, and eventually, a slave/slave confrontation slowly forms and leads to an explosive confrontation.
Though mildly "cult" in nature, which most Tarantino movies tend to be, it certainly deserves recognition as a fun and clever film that any Tarantino fan and movie fan should certainly take consideration in watching.
