Djanogo Unchained review

Django Unchained


Quentin Tarintino has an impressive resume of movies, like Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Resover Dogs and his recent and my opinion his best inglorious Basterds. When I heard he was going to make a spaghetti western Dgango unchained I knew he would do it justice. Quentin Tarintino hasn't really let me down they are only a couple movies I didn't really like, Kill bill Vol 2 didn't live up to the first one and Death Proof in which suffered from long dialogue scenes that didn't go anywhere. But with his last 2 films has really had risen to one of my favorite directors.
Like usual Quentin Tarintino resembled a great cast for Ddjano with the likes of Jaimie fox, Christoper waltz, Samuel Jackson and Leonardo Dicaprio. Right at the beginning of the film you are introducing to Dgango who is played brilliantly by Jamie fox. I like it when an actor can tell the audience so much without a lot of dialogue and Jamie fox does this brilliantly you can tell just from his face what he's thinking. Christopher waltz plays a bounty hunter that that frees Dgango is because he has information on someone he's looking for. The first half of the movie plays like a buddy movie the chemistry between the Waltz and fox is what gets the audience engaged in the movie.
What I like what Tarintino did in Dgango is it has a straight forward narrative. Unlike pulp fiction Kill bill and inglorious Basterds which jump all over the place with its storytelling. I think this is one of Tarantinos best written films because he mixes humor and violence so well, it didn't feel so jarring when the tone of the film switches from being laugh out loud to terrifying violence.
My favorite thing about this movie is Leonardo Dicaperio who plays a plantation owner Mr candy. Every scene he is in he steals the show. I wish Leonardo Dicaprio got Oscar recognition for his great acting in this film. And I can't forget about Samuel Jackson who like always graces the film with his exceptional acting. What Tarintino did is he made Dicaprio and Samuel Jackson are the bad version of Jaimie Fox and Christopher Waltz characters. The way they play off each other is amazing.
The movie is not for everyone. The movie deals with slavery and doesn't take it easy. The N word is used a lot and when I say a lot maybe too much. The way some people die is very violent and is shown in great detail. The movie is long running almost 3 hours long. Some scenes do go on too long Tarintino loves long dialogue scenes.
I highly recommend this movie. It's one of the best films of 2012 in my opinion and Tarrintino second best movie. I still put inglorious Basterds 1st. i give this movie  4.5/5.
