'With the help of a German bounty hunter, a freed slave sets out to rescue his wife from a brutal Mississippi plantation owner.'
This was my first Tarantino film and it did not disappoint one single bit! Quentin Tarantino is a terrific storyteller with the camera. His trademarks are great. Examples are his quick zoom-ins and his god's eye point of view. His actions with the camera remind me of Martin Scorsese and Orson Welles, they never believed in the 'invisible camera.' Tarantino's camera-work cannot be ignored and plays a big part in the tone of the film. His only flaw was his cameo. He accent was terrible to be honest. He should stick to what happens behind the lens.
The acting in this film was stunning. All the actors were great, from the leading roles to the supporting to the extras. But the Supporting actors came out as the big winners. Christoph Waltz was brilliant. His accent is an aspect you can't avoid. As I listened and watched him speak, it was poetry to my ears. He made Tarantino's great writing that much better! He brings great humor to such a brutal setting. Worthy of his Supporting Actor nomination. Leonardo DiCaprio amazed me in this film. He surprised me with his diversity in cinema. Nobody would expect he would put in the performance he did. He brings enough humor and over-the-top violence to make the film enjoyable but still light, especially when dealing with the topic of slavery in America. Confused that the Academy snubbed him with a nomination. Lastly, Samuel L Jackson was awesome! He portrayed a character nobody was expecting. To everyone, Calvin Candie ran 'Candie Land' but the audience sees it's true nature and notices that Jackson's character is the backbone of the whole operation. Great performance.
The Score in this picture is one the best I've ever heard. It resembles the film perfectly! At times, it's as humorous as the writing then at times it brings great emotion to such a controversial topic. Excellent on all levels.
I enjoyed every second of this film. Quentin Tarantino is certainly a master of his craft. He is the best Director the modern era has brought us yet. My vote for the best film of the year and one of the best I've ever seen.
