But this violence goes up to 11

Rating: 4/10 (18 April 2013)

Django Unchained consists largely of white men saying racist, inhumane things to the hero.
The writing and story are over the top in terms of the downright cruelness of the bad guys. Tarantino also wanted to see how many times he could write in the "n" word...like a 3rd grader trying to see how many times he could goof off in class without getting a time out. Both became tedious after a while, losing their effectiveness and significance.
*Too much blood, for the sake of having blood. The effect was lost after the 30th corpse exploded in front of the camera in slow motion.
*Too much use of the 'n' word, just because he could. That's not a reason to add it to every sentence of every bad guy. Use it when it's going to be effective.
*The acting is top-notch. Jamie, Christoph, Leonardo, Kerry, Samuel - all were wonderful. +3 points
*The scene with the hoods and eye holes, hilarious...best scene in the film. +1 point.
*Here is a breakdown of the film, written in (overly) simplified terms ...
Tarantino decide make homage to spaghetti western
Saint-like good guy, super evil bad guys. Give them guns, shoot lots of times. Bang! Bang! Have lots of bloods for big effect. Say 'n' word lots of times. Make audience uneasy. Haha, now we have audience attention. Say 'n' word again many time! Hero not like. Give justification to kill all bad guys. And he win.
Tabloids say movie controversial. Many curious, buy lots of tickets. Movie make lots of moneys. Chubby Tarantino accept Oscar. Make self-indulgent speech. And he "win".
4/10
