Django Unchained

Tweet

Set in the late times of slavery in the US, a white man who makes his living hunting people down who are wanted dead or alive by the state, finds a black slave who can recognize a group of men who have high bounties on their heads. The hunter has found himself the perfect partner in Django (the "D" is silent), and Django becomes the first man who can stand up against the repressive slave owners, in this new Quentin Tarantino movie. I love Quentin's movies. He is a favorite director of mine, so I was really anticipating this new one. I was not disappointed. In fact, I'd even go as far as to say that it is so great, that it stands up with his classics like Pulp Fiction. One of the biggest pieces he has, is showing how disgusting the direction of slavery in the US was. I always knew it was terrible, but this movie made me feel so horrible about what my ancestors were pulling off with so many great people. The fact it can pull those kinds of emotions out so well, shows just how powerful this movie is. But that's not all! The action scenes are so extremely intense, they'll easily put you to the edge of your seat. The comedy is so unexpected and so out there, that you'll be laughing like crazy. The romance is so powerful that your eyes will start to tear up when you see the couple find eachother. It really hits all the levels of emotion you could get from a movie, and will really pull you in. If you're planning on going to see it though, I do give a warning. The violence in the movie is pretty extreme, and the language is, too. Up here in Canada, it shockingly got a 14a rating, but I'd say it really deserves more of an 18a or even an R. If you're faint to extreme violence or the N word, then you might want to stay away, but if you can take it, then I highly, highly, highly, recommend seeing this movie.
