Django Unchained
Stephen:” I count six shots, n**
*Django: “I count two guns, n*The first time that I watched Django Unchained I thought it was good but I didn’t really like it. Now that I am rewatching some Tarantino movies I finally gave it the respect it deserves because it’s definitely a banger💯
In the past time Western became kind of my favorite genre even tho I only watched The Good, The Bad and the ugly which is one my favorites and I am currently playing Red dead redemption. I am also a big fan of Quentin Tarantinos movies and he is of western movies. In many of his movies are western elements like the ending in Reservoir dogs or some scenes in Kill Bill. So this movie is his homage to western movies like he already did one forthe grindhouse cinema.
As I said I haven’t watched much western movies but I think this movie isn’t a typical western movie but more of an kind of slavery revenge movie. By rewatching this, already the first 15 minutes in the trees had me directly hooked (again) and I liked it way more than the first time. The rest of the story is pretty simple but its so well showed and everything.
While watching this I thought that they mentioned to much that Samuel L Jackson’s character name is Steven but then I thought that’s what is one of the strengths of Tarantino movies. In some modern movies I seem to not even know the names of the characters but here there are so many mentionable characters like Dr. King Schultz, Django… Btw Christoph Waltz might be one of my favourite actors even tho I haven’t watched much of him but he is so good🙏. Maybe it’s because he also speaks German. He just like me for real. The other performances just get better because you think you saw everything and then Leonardo Di Caprio the nice goodlooking guy of Hollywood and Samuel L. Jackson play absolute evil assholes which make the ending so satisfying.
Another important part of Tarantino movies is the music. I think he said that normally he listenes to pop songs and searches for something to use in movies. In this case he uses some kind of western songs? Idk how to call it but I hope you now what I mean like the Djaaaaaaangooooooo, Djangooo.
While rewatching I always thought of scenes that happen in 20 minutes and I hyped myself up to watch them. I spent the whole day always wanting to go home and watch Django Unchained. Definitely one of my favorites might be my new Inglorious Basterds so maybe you see me rewatching it another time in the future.
