Review of Django Unchained (2012) by Heather M — 10 Sep 2015

Django Unchained is the 7th Film of Quentin Tarantino. It would be counted in near future as one of the most important western films of our times. Tarantino mixes the themes of revenge, american slavery and not to forgot, the Blood sport action scenes. But most importantly, its the characters that you take away from this movie. Be it brutish Calvin Candie, the soft spoken Dr. Schultz or the quirky Django, every single character in the film is remarkably been portrayed. The background score gives an added thump to the story and takes you forward.

How often do we see that a bunch of Cowboys are riding in a grass field and a rap song starts playing in the background. It takes guts to make a scene look authentic and different at the same time and this is what the director and the cast has done. Di Caprio shines in this movie, but the real man is Christoph Waltz. He spears the film and sets the tone with his unusual charm and elegance being embedded in the character of Schultz. Jammie Foxx gives another good performance and suits the bill for Django.
