[13.3.2013] Django Unchained

Got a chance to catch Django Unchained yesterday night and I feel that I should write this up quickly to thank the people at Nuffnang for the special invite to catch this movie.

Anyhow.. to those who dont know, this movie is written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Who is this guy you ask? Well hes the guy who made all the cult favourites like Pulp Fiction , Resevoir Dogs, Kill Bill and the Inglorious Basterds. So now he has made a new movie called Django Unchained. Check out the trailer

So the movie is set in the 1850's and around the wild west prior to the civil war. This bounty  hunter Dr.Schultz (played by Christoph Waltz  previously as Col. Hans Landa from Inglorious Basterds) buys and frees this slave called Django (played by Jamie Foxx) and trains him to be a badass bounty hunter to assist him to get this bounty that he has been chasing and also with a promise to help free his wife.

So from the above, it might sound like any typical movie right? But with Tarantino's magic, he manages to twist the movie into a whole lotta blood and gore and cheesy tacky music and witty satirically funny lines.

Expect performances from Leonardo Dicaprio and Samuel L. Jackson too in this movie who brings forth other wonderful performances. 

So what do I rate this movie? I think i'll give it an 8.5 out of 10.. Its extremely bloody and loud and tacky and sometimes draggy that I dont know if I want to watch again and I really dont recommend this movie for the squemish.. but overall, I think this movie played out really well and was the darkhorse of movies compared to Argo and Zero Dark Thirty when it came to the oscars. Do go and catch this movie if you are a fan of action and bloody scenes and profanity (N*gger was said more than 100 times throughout the whole movie) and just a fan of Tarantino's work. Till then!
