Just Plain Offensive!

Rating: 3/10 (28 January 2013)

When Tarantino launched Django Unchained one got the impression it was a remake of a cult Spagetti Western movie in which the hero (played by Franco Nero) moves around dragging a coffin and killing some bad guys! When it came out in the 60s many felt it was very violent for that time but thats it! The new Django is in name only and has nothing to do with the 60s film! This is a movie which talks about slavery in 19th century America and how Black people were illtreated by white people! Almost the entire movie is made to offend with frequent use of the 'N' word against blacks and almost every white character in this movie is shown to be racist. Most shocking is Leonardo Di caprio's character who is just plain offensive to say the least and this movie has potential to destroy his career in long run! I am shocked an actor of his status and calibre agreed to star in this flick! And why oh why did they have that skull speech scene where Leo's character explains the reasons for black people being submissive towards white people (at that time that is)! Then there are scenes designed to just offend you such as the black dude being mauled by dogs or the mandingo fight scene where the winner earned himself a cold beer!
