Django Unchained
Another incredible revenge story by Tarantino. I think I saw this when I was younger but I only remembered certain scenes. Now I have it fresh in my mind to review. There are definitely a bunch of scenes here that are hard to watch, but the overall product delivers. Jamie Foxx fucking rules as Django. Everything about his character works so well. It’s funny to have Christoph Waltz in here as the good guy because he was one of Tarantino’s most vile villains(rivaled mostly by Leo’s performance here) as Hans Landa in Tarantino’s previous film. He is the opposite here. It’s so fun watching him talk his way out of trouble. Leonardo DiCaprio is evil and disgusting as Calvin Candy, and it works. He is repulsive in this movie, and it serves as a great motivator for what happens. The action is great in this one. Especially the showdown at Candyland near the end. That showdown rivals the fight against the crazy 88 in Kill Bill for best action scene Tarantino ever gave us. The ending is also a great sendoff for this masterpiece.
