A True Classic !

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2014)

Django Unchained (2012) directed by Quentin Tarantino is a true classic. The film is set during the 1850's right before the Civil War. The film follows the freed slave Django and his pursuit with Dr. King Schultz to save his wife Broomhilda from bondage. The characters in the film are presented so well, their motivations and back story fleshed out nicely. You never have to guess who the bad guys are from the good. The action is fast, and bloody. The language is coarse, and funny at times. The soundtrack has a nice blend of western sounds and modern songs. The movie is an homage to spaghetti westerns from the past, and is overall very enjoyable. The camera cuts are nice and remind me of Kill Bill, Tarantino's earlier work. The camera at times zooms in on the character's faces as they are about to enter a showdown, or a pivotal moment. The movie does an excellent job at telling its story, and making you feel for Django. It has an excellent sense of intensity and triumph that is unmatched in many films today. After seeing this film, I was truly mesmerized, and had to watch it again. Overall, I give Django Unchained (2012) by Quentin Tarantino a 10 out of 10. Definitely one of Tarantino's best.
