Quinton Tarantino unfathomable finesse indubitably hits screens once again as he has teamed up with an ensemble cast to rekindle the western genre. Tarantino has been candid of his admiration for Sergio Leone and this work will make his precursor proud. Tarantino has woven action, laughs, thrills and adventure into to the story of a slave who is emancipated by a bounty hunter in search of outlaws. Rather than proving to manifest perils and atrocious reflections of a liberated slave the movie delves into an entertaining spectacle. The movies cult status was affirmed by performances of Di Caprio and Christopher Waltz. Waltz performance as Dr Schultz of German origin never betrayed the German pedigree thoroughly deserved his Oscar. Di Caprio has proven why he is the best in business by portraying Calvin a barbaric, tyrannical and imperious master. The presence of Jamie Foxx draws parallel with Clint Eastwood from the Dollars Trilogy where his guns do the talk. What distinguishes this movie is it its cinematography backed up with stellar action sequences. The opening scene builds an intriguing conversation be Waltz pulling the trigger. The pub scene highlights Tarantino, s skill to keep audience on the hook by compelling storytelling.The movie is inundated with quintessential western shootouts. It has got everything guns, men, blood and the heroism. The torture scenes rather than being gruesome have had conversations which keeps the movie exciting rather than disturbing. The movie features customary Tarantino,s penchant for great theme music with visually stunning Cinematography. In Django Unchained Tarantino has unleashed an iconic western character with all its virile and ethos. It is an amazing prospect for a western aficionado to see the revival of a dying Genre by a torchbearer of 21st century film making. It is a must watch for every western lover, a Tarantino zealot and every film lover. This film might not serve appetite of every movie enthusiast but has certainly been a regalement for me. This will go as one of the finest films in the 21st century and has shattered fetters of a Genre which was the heartthrob of the 60, s. This might not be Tarantino, s magnus opus but a sensation of a western Genre.
Well, It is indeed a Tarantino Movie through and through. From first frame till the last, you can feel tarantino all the way. So if you are the fan of brutality and unexpected situation getting more unexpectedly worse, a true tarantino style. This is truly a gem for you.Even if you are not familiar with tarantino, go for it. Acting was great, Cinematography was beautiful. Just go for it.Multiple times watchable.
Beautiful soundtrack, amazing acting, and outlanding writing! One of the best movies I've seen in a long time
Tarantino's love letter to blacksploitation and especially spaghetti westerns. An epic, violent, funny and sweet as candy tale of revenge in the wild west as only QT can tell it. Great characters and dialogue as expected and the cinematography is also great: snowy mountain tops, prairies and plantations look gorgeous, as does the bloody action! Very memorable performances all around, but especially from Waltz, DiCaprio and Jackson! Also a sweet soundtrack, but that goes without saying.. :)
