Django Unchained

This movie is just so great. Watched for the first time just a month ago and here I am again. This near 3 hour long film breezes by to me like nothing, as the story just hooks you the second you put it on. Easily one of Leo’s best performances, one of the few times you’ll see him as a villain, and he’s phenomenal. This role is one of my reasonings for Leo’s goat status. Waltz delivers per usual with him, one of Hollywood’s most talented actors that just can’t seem to get good work outside of Tarantino. SLJ’s performance in this is also underrated, a side character that shows incredible intelligence yet you still question why he does what he does. Great performance. In terms of letterboxd genres, this is the best “Western” I’ve seen so far. So good. “Hey, little troublemaker.”
