The Name is Django. The D is Silent

Rating: 9/10 (13 January 2013)

Quentin Tarantino returns to the theater with his newest film, Django Unchained. And let me tell you, it does not disappoint. After the success of Inglorious Bastards, Django Unchained has a lot to live up too-and it pulls it off. In fact, it may be even better than Inglorious Bastards- but I'll let you be the judge of that.
Jamie Foxx plays Django, a slave sold to two brothers who is inevitably "saved" by Dr. King Schultz (Waltz) by offering him a job as a bounty hunter. Schultz is also a bounty hunter, and is after a family of three brothers, and knows that Django has seen them before and knows who they are, therefore the best person to help him out. In exchange for those lives, Schultz promises to find where Django's wife was sold and rescue her.
They discover his wife Broomhilda (Washington) was sold to a plantation owned by the famous Calvin Candle (DiCaprio). There, they buy their way into his life in order to be able to buy the freedom of Broomhilda...and then, like every Tarantino movie...things go horribly wrong. Does Django free his wife? Does Schultz survive? Is there a huge epic blood bath at the end?
If you've seen Tarantino's movies...you could probably say yes to two out of three of those things. Django Unchained was a fabulous edition to Tarantino's list of unforgettable films. All though there is a lot of controversy surrounding it, because the N word is said over 110 times, keep in mind that Tarantino obviously did not mean for this to be a historical representation of the 1800s. Sure, it's got slavery and western aspects of the 1800s, but he did not intend for it to be historically accurate, nor did he want to be an exact representation of the slave trade. It's Tarantino. You can pretty much assume that everything will be exaggerated, and that there will be blood...and it will be awesome. Also, Christoph Waltz should definitely win for Best Supporting Actor for his performance.
