TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
rs-91886 You leave the theater with the only possible conclusion you were supposed to get: white people are bad, and they need to pay for that fact. It was a tour de force of violence and the n-word, and although the story was generally good and believable, and the actors were solid, I just felt like I had been beaten over the head with pure negative propaganda by the time it was over. Too bad. I like most of his work, and Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill are among my favorite films.
atlasmb There is no doubt about Quentin Tarantino's ability as a storyteller. The narrative of "Django Unchained" is further evidence of that ability, but his film-making abilities sometimes get in the way of the telling.Though Django (Jamie Foxx) is the film's protagonist, he is an unlikely partner to Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) and they share the lead. Each is a unique character, but they come to align themselves in common goals and, eventually, a common quest. The slave Django finds himself outside the law and--thanks to Schultz-- possessing freedoms that challenge his moral compass. But this is a Tarantino film, so the compass never strays far from a monomaniacal drive to achieve the completion of the quest. Tarantino graces the story, which is set in the antebellum South, with inherent humor, mostly achieved through the subtlety of Christoph Waltz's acting. His German bounty hunter executes a matter-of-fact demeanor in extraordinarily stressful situations.The story unfolds gracefully, allowing the viewer to discover background stories and motivations without unnecessary voice-overs or dialogue that is merely explanatory. This is done economically and clearly.However, the story later suffers from uneven pacing. This is distracting and reduces the effectiveness of the film. Likewise, some artistic choices take the viewer out of the narrative, including some quick camera zooms, excessive gore that goes well beyond Sam Peckinpah's style, and the use of a Jim Croce song in one montage.Tarantino has created an intriguing world that is unique, then cluttered it with extraneous attention-grabbing elements. This may be attributed to self-indulgence, but the viewer's indulgence is earned through the director's creativity and his obvious love for his creation.
salmanalfarisi-81574 When it comes to the western movie, nothing can be forgotten from the most influential directors like Sergio Leone. His name became one of the several prominent directors for the genre. Now, this genre seems to have been dead for so long and people are very underestimating the genre because of the western genre always have a contemporary old and classic story.For Quentin Tarantino, he always presents a style with his own story, a genre that has the uniqueness of a fantasy world that he creates in his film, as well as the characters that I think nothing is ever neglected and always memorable in terms of storytelling and the scene.Inglourious Basterds is one of the movies that deflects a history and makes his own world and history to be a kind of fairy tale. I've known this movie for a long time because there's one scene from Leonardo DiCaprio that makes me understand so much when he improvises his character. In Django Unchained, the cast is all the top actors such as Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, Walton Goggins, Kerry Washington, and friends.As with other Quentin Tarantino movies, Django Unchained always runs away from the core of the story which means's not too astonished by the main story. We'll be introduced with a Quentin Tarantino background that impressed like a three-dimensional western world and also take the background of 2 years before the civil war.The story will not focus on the freedom of Django who succeeded to become a free man but the conflicts that its brought here always unpredictable, typical Quentin Tarantino movies in general. As with Inglourious Basterds setting out from the original history, Quentin Tarantino developed a bit of the frame and improved it to his version.Although the plot is racially sensitive to black slavery, it's not a dramatic or depressive film from Steve McQueen's 12 Years A Slave. The plot that is presented always signifying the conflict that varies from each other and like his own movie, it will not be complete with a punchline dialogue that he regularly shows. So, this isn't an action movie where there are explosions everywhere.Despite a bit of action but he made it into the ultra-violent version of Quentin Tarantino, I think it was enough to bring an explosion, gore, shot, a clamor that filled with his version of violence. In this movie, Quentin Tarantino more often shows zoom in immediately yet cool in each of the characters and this makes the introduction characters so impressed like comics whereas I like it.Similar to The Hateful Eight, he confers a strong atmosphere both of the character and the setting of the place. The use of the soundtrack in this movie also seems to carry everything and I don't think anything seems cramped. Both from the quiet scene to the commotion, it seems that he shows his western version to everyone.In addition to the unpredictable storytelling style to the various conflicts, Quentin Tarantino called many big casts especially Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, and Leonardo DiCaprio. I wonder why Leonardo is not nominated for an Oscar? In fact, I like his character in here who plays the coolest douchebag ever. One scene that supports his role was at the time in the table scene where he did improvisation character after hitting his hands on the table until bleeding.Christoph Waltz deserves to be an Oscar-worthy because he's the one who dominates more than any other. The first impression when seeing this character at the beginning has become evident that this movie will become an insane manifestation of adventure with full of intensity in almost 3 hours. His character at Inglourious Basterds is the best because he is the one who can show the calmest and most cunning antagonist ever. In this film, his character is more shown while supporting the main character who's experiencing his adventure.Although Jamie Foxx is the main actor, his role is always closed by other characters so as to impress as drowning. I know that he plays a character with a character that doesn't talk much so the dialogue that he needs only briefly but, it came back from the previous form. Don't forget that Quentin Tarantino is also featured as a cameo in this movie where you can see it clearly.The shootout scene at Calvin Candie's home was the best of all, combining Quentin Tarantino's dark humor, and this was the most full-action scene I've ever seen during I watch a western movie. One of the most memorable scenes other than that is the KKK scene and this scene is one scene that makes me laugh out loud. It's not too many spoilers, you've to watch it now.Django Unchained is an artificial western version of Quentin Tarantino with his own fantasy world. He mixes the deep elements of the cowboy thing and diverges slightly from the original history. The conflict that presented in here like Sergio Leone's "The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly" which always brings conflict not only one but various and it's variable the way the story.Memorable characters, combining Quentin Tarantino's dark humor, big talk with a punchline and big action, I suppose I don't feel there's a waste when watching this even though the duration is almost 3 hours.
Osmosis Iron Tarantino's love letter to blacksploitation and especially spaghetti westerns. An epic, violent, funny and sweet as candy tale of revenge in the wild west as only QT can tell it. Great characters and dialogue as expected and the cinematography is also great: snowy mountain tops, prairies and plantations look gorgeous, as does the bloody action! Very memorable performances all around, but especially from Waltz, DiCaprio and Jackson! Also a sweet soundtrack, but that goes without saying.. :)
