A Film as Red as its Title-Card.

Rating: 10/10 (24 September 2016)

Django Unchained is currently Quentin Tarantino's most financially successful film and one of his recent standout successes on the big screen. The film is very entertaining, very violent and confronting with its subject matter and how Quentin goes about it. What's even more interesting is that Django feels more linear than his other movies, though it still has all his trademarks like film-homages, use of preexisting music he likes, and dialogue that reflects the characters in very obvious yet subtle ways.
Django Unchained is a historical Western that has the twist of a very talented director writing and directing the story, and then giving it a twisted take on it all, like Sergio Leone's The Man With No Name Trilogy. This makes Django's violence satirical in comparison to the classic American Westerns of old, and goes that extra mile in making it about an African-American slave's desire for revenge: something unheard of for the genre.
The whole experience is amazing, the scenery is great, and the screenplay very well thought-out from start-to-finish. I highly recommend especially if you like Mr. Tarantino's films.
