Saw, it...Django Unchained
My first expressions where : SHIT (not in terms of quality, but the way slavery and the plantations have been depicted).
Movie is good, and definitely better than IB (Brad Pitt lost it after being Jolie-fied); and the characters acted well...! Stylish and a total-blood fest. Background score is complimenting to the theme and genre, and the draws (a make or break for Westerns) well edited and timed. I guess this is the final ode to the legendary Sergio Leone. The similarity (or salutation) is evident: Facial close ups, sudden out zooms, and extreme focus on gun hammers and barrels and grips ( and not to forget jangling spurs).
Jammie Fox: Does his part well, and his expressions in the first half are well fleshed, and his character development is progressive. His wife (Kerry Washington) is damn pretty and graceful. Loved her smile...!
Christoph Waltz: Plays his part with panache and has the best dialogue script.
Leonardo DiCaprio: I was amused to see myself liking his role and acting. I always hated him as an actor. But he did the role well, and ironic to see Tarantino unleash his caliber. Nice. He even gives us an anthropological crano-facial phenotype 1-0-1 soliloquy, near the end.
Samuel L. Jackson: Seemed to be overacting a bit, and his role was a tad too long, or you could say not needed as "much".
They all, probably used the N* words 1500 times (lol) in the movie. Tarantino makes you cringe or smile. There is no mid-way. His character ownage is hilarious.
For better insights Google "who was Jim Crow". Read up around this, the movie makes a lot more sense, or better you might get a better essence...!
8/10
