I am a hypocrite. In my Top 5 films ever!

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2013)

Before I went to watch Django Unchained earlier I read a few reviews, to which I found many 10/10 ratings. For those who don't know I am very critical of films and my pet-hate is reviewers who give 10/10's too often. However I have to eat my own words and jump on the bandwagon because this film is an absolute masterpiece! Tarantino rarely fails to impress and this is not one of those rare occasions. The characters are written beautifully and each one develops nicely as the plot progresses. Christoph Waltz has to be the stand out character, his dialogue and actions are written to perfection and matches the superb acting seen in Inglorious Basterds. Di Caprio takes on the challenge of portraying a villain which is something we haven't seen much of, however, much like previous roles Leo seems the perfect fit for his character (In this case Calvin Candie). I should also mention Jamie Foxx and I believe it is very lucky for the film that Will Smith declined the role, Foxx is a much better match. Take a bow Tarantino, you've done it again! 10 out of 10 The story isn't for the light hearted. It contains some extremely gory scenes along with frequent use of "The N word" which is needed to emphasise the black and white relationship in the 1800's. Its to be said Django Unchained is an emotional roller-coaster full of blood sweat and tears, one which will go down in history.
