A Totally Taratino Treat

Rating: 9/10 (2 March 2013)

Django Unchained is one of those movies, like Pulp Fiction, that it's hard to say you loved; how can one love all the gore and violence? But that doesn't mean it's not a superb film. Pulp Fiction is my favorite movie of all time, a 10. Django Unchained comes close with a 9. What is so great of these films is the highest quality writing, dialogue and acting - outstanding. I was so glad to see Quintin Tarantino win best screen play for Django. I also thought the cinematography was excellent; he understands light and works so well with it. One of the best scenes of all time: when Leonardo DeCaprio pulls up to his plantation with Django on a horse and Samual L Jackson goes off on him. The back and forth they have will be a classic. Also, so very glad the the Dentist won best supporting actor. Totally deserved it, and that was in a field of some great competition. I remained amazed at the number of people who still criticize this film but have not seen it. Yeah, I closed my eyes in a couple of scenes, but that's OK. I accept that about myself but won't miss an outstanding film because of it. And the racism criticisms - ridiculous. Don't you even say that until you have watched this film. And watch it you should. Anytime you can get a glimpse into a genius's mind, take it.
