![Django Unchained [Blu-ray]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81j8C3mKuGL.jpg)

Django is a freed slave, who, under the tutelage of a German bounty hunter, becomes a bad-ass bounty hunter himself. After taking down some bad guys for profit, they track down Django's slave wife and liberate her from an evil plantation owner. Review: Classic Tarantino - Excellent movie, very classic Quentin Tarantino (almost theatrical violence, witty and long winded dialogue, star studded, etc.) I am convinced that man’s entire career is an opportunity for him to see how many times he can write the N word into a script (or show extended shots of ladies feet) without compromising artistic quality Review: It's a good watch. - I enjoyed the movie for the action and the humor.

Excellent movie, very classic Quentin Tarantino (almost theatrical violence, witty and long winded dialogue, star studded, etc.) I am convinced that man’s entire career is an opportunity for him to see how many times he can write the N word into a script (or show extended shots of ladies feet) without compromising artistic quality

An awesome movie
Django Unchained is a movie you will know within the first few minutes whether you will love or hate. It is set shortly before the Civil War. Christoph Waltz plays Dr. King Schultz, a former doctor turned bounty hunter seeking to buy a slave named Django (played by Jamie Foxx) to get his help in tracking three outlaw brothers who were overseers at a plantation on which Django was enslaved. In return, Schultz offers Django his freedom and agrees to help him find his wife Hildi, played by Kerry Washington who was sold away from Django as punishment. The movie is definitely inspired by the Spaghetti Westerns of the past infused with Quentin Tarantino's over-the-top brand of violence and humor. It has a strong supporting cast including Samuel L. Jackson and Leonardo DiCaprio whom both shine in their roles, as do Waltz, Foxx, and Washington. For those who get the Blu-Ray, the movie looks and sounds great in the HD format. There is a little over half an hour worth of making-of featurettes and the trailers. Unfortunately, there is no commentary track on the movie, which would have been nice to have. But, what was included was great. Overall, the movie is wonderful. It is well-written and very well-acted. Yes, it does include the n-word a lot, shows slaves being beaten, and everything. But, keep in mind, that the is set in the south during the 1800s and does not at all sugarcoat what life, and the people were like. It is not telling a "Gone WIth the Wind" type love story between members of the ruling class, the perspective from which the story is told is much different, and includes all the gory details. If that makes you uncomfortable, that may be a good thing. Certainly, Quentin Tarantino's movies are not for everyone, and this is no exception. But, if you are generally a fan of his work, this is definitely worth watching.

Exactly what you'd expect from Tarantino
It seems that somewhere between Pulp Fiction and now, Tarantino has learned how to make a movie with some amount of depth and even occasional subtlety. I admit I don't know when that occurred, because the soulless Pulp Fiction thoroughly put me off his work for a while. At some point QT got into elaborate revenge flicks, and having covered women and Jewish people already he's now turned to African-Americans. When I watched Django I was more interested in the controversy than the movie, but I actually found the latter quite engaging and not as uncomfortable as I expected it to be. The media informs us that Tarantino movies glorify over-the-top violence, but at least with Django the reality is a bit more nuanced. Importantly, violence against slaves is ONLY meant to be thoroughly disturbing. The way such scenes are shot reinforces this through focusing on other characters' faces as they look pained or saddened, and toning down the gore to realistic levels for the situation. Violence towards criminals and slave owners is over-the-top to the point of cartoonish, freeing one from the obligation to empathize with said bad people. The excess in these scenes is more to do with ludicrous blood splatters than sadistic punishment, with most people just dying in gunfights. Conversely, if you turn on network TV, you may see someone flayed and several people burned to death by "good guys", so I'm coming to the conclusion that QT is unfairly scapegoated for the violence in our media. Moral quibbles aside, Django is a good movie with great acting. It's also free of the famous "Tarantino conversations", which I find distracting though I understand they represent realistic patterns of speech. No other part of the movie is heavily concerned with realism. History and ballistics are reinterpreted through the lens of what looks coolest at the moment. Though this led to me rolling my eyes a couple of times, it's a stylistic choice and thus not a big deal. Django Unchained isn't perfect, but I'm giving it five stars for being the best at what it is: a revenge epic turned up-to-eleven that fearlessly depicts a sore spot in our history. Show me another movie that can pull that off with any class.

C'è ben poco da fare, Tarantino gira come pochi al mondo. Gustare una delle sue opere e come salire su un ottovolante che poi impazzisce, tra omaggi e citazioni, improvvise esplosioni di violenza grafica e dialoghi fiume che rasentano il genio assoluto (e ti chiedi "Ma come diavolo fara?") Più che il western all'italiana (si, c'è, per carità, e non solo per gli straordinari omaggi musicali micalizzibacaloviani), sembra che Quentin abbia voluto rifare una specie di Radici in salsa pulp e gonfiandolo con prelibatezze ultrasplatter (le sparatorie sono veri e propri geyser di sangue, straordinarie , fulminanti, qualcosa che azzera tutto quello fatto fin'ora-e meno grottesco del massacro alla katana di Kill Bill-. Altro che mexican-stand-off, da mandare in pensione John Woo e company), momenti pulp-comedy (il discorso degli incappucciati, capitanati da un Don Johnson con voce da idiota, non ha rivali. Quintessenza del genio tarantiniano, dove schernisce un gruppo di razzisti-e il razzismo in generale- imbecilli col cervello di un poppante. Forse la migliore sequenza antirazzista mai girata, dove Quentin la riassume in poche battute, ma assolutamente geniali. Le taglie che risolvono a Weltz e Foxx situazioni a dir poco precarie), momenti assoluti di gran cinema (l'arrivo a Candyland, poi, e un pezzo di cinema inarrivabile), dimore vittoriane che diventano veri e propri mattatoi, flahback girati come se fosse un horror grindhouse (la marchiatura e la fustigazione di Brumhilda), lampi feroci che omaggiano I Guerrieri della palude silenziosa (per me già di culto un Tom Savini in versione zozzo redneck-quasi irriconoscibile-che tiene al guinzaglio due cagnacci lerci-e non può venire in mente il John Steiner di Mannaja-che sbraneranno lo schiavo Dartagnan, finito su un albero stile Ciccio Igrassia in Amarcord, e nella fetida combriccola pure Zoe Bell con look stile ninja che rimanda a Kill Bill), un incipt che meriterebbe di saperlo a memoria (l'arrivo di Waltz su un carro da dentista con il molare che dondola, la fulminante sparatoria che prende in pieno il cavallo di James Russo facendolo a pezzi, la vendetta degli schiavi neri, in mezzo a un bosco da horror-gotico), la tortura inflitta a Django/Foxx a testa in giù, con coltello arroventato sugli zebedei mi ha messo addosso più di un brivido A volte mi pareva che Quentin, furbescamente e come solo lui sa fare, avesse preso come pretesto l'western italiano, per fare una specie di remake di Mandingo (i due mandingo che lottano fino alla morte nel salone di Di Caprio ne sono un fenomenale omaggio), ma Quentin e un diavolo, inventa, omaggia, mischia, ti spiazza, ti destabilizza, come il gioco delle matrioske Tutti i dialoghi sono di una forza dirompente (straordinari quelli di Di Caprio a tavola col teschio, delirante teoria sul servilismo dei negri, e assolutamente geniale la battuta sul nomignolo di uno degli schiavi "Eschimo Joe"), che sembra di vivere in prima persona , lì, su quella tavolata da profondo sud Tarantino che rifà se stesso? Ma non scherziamo, Tarantino e Tarantino, più unico che raro. Sembra un film di Robert Rodriguez? Ma non diciamo fesserie, pur amando "mucho gusto", non si avvicina manco al genio esposivio di Quentin (e la splatter/sparatoria e qualcosa di immaginifico mai visto prima, altrochè) Quentin, poi, tocca le corde della spietatezza (per il sottoscritto, una delle scene più dure e insostenibili, e l'umiliazione che Di Caprio, sempre a tavola, fa subire a Brumhilda facendole scoprire la schiena con i segni delle frustate davanti agli ospiti-e mi veniva in mente Salò-o la sequenza del pozzo, pugno allo stomaco che sì, pure a me a ricordato la straziante e poetica sequenza fulciana/bolkiana di Non si sevizia un paperino) Il sangue sgorga, impazza, imbratta, liquami che sprizzano a mo di fontana che manco Street Trash, corpi che volano (letteralmente) da una stanza all'altra (gran lavoro dell'immenso Greg Nicotero), sangue di schiavista che sporca fiori immacolati, Tarantino (ingrassato parecchio) che esplode su dinamite leoniana come fosse un cartoon di Tex Avery. La tortura delle Iene, momenti che toccano il cuore come in Jackie Brown e Kill Bill vol 2, omaggi infino a Ingmar Bergman e la sua "lanterna magica" (tra i tanti), hi-pop (e ci stà), la bellissima canzone morriconiana cantata da Elisa, Waltz che parla di Dumas con Di Caprio, insomma, ogni momento rasenta il cult assoluto Attorialmente, una spanna sopra tutti, c'è Di Caprio, quintessenza del personaggio tarantiniano tout-court. Gustoso il cameo di Bruce Dern nel flashback, mentre non ho riconosciuto-ahimè- James Remar e Don Stroud. Se proprio devo muovere delle critiche a Quentin sono: L'inutile cameo di Franco Nero (che mi pareva anche un pò spaesato), in una citazione un pò forzata La chiusa finale un pò troppo pagliaccesca, con Django/Foxx che fa danzare il suo cavallo davanti ad una divertita Brumhilda sotto un cielo spielberghianamente stellato Il resto e puro, assoluto cinema Grazie Quentin.. Inutile soffermarsi sulla qualità del dvd Sony, semplicemente eccezzionale!

Two reasons to watch this movie. One is Tarantino himself, who has the mastery of portraying violence in artistic form. You won't find violence offensive but rather appreciate how Tarantino presents it. Second is Christopher Waltz, who is an actor to watch. He essays his role with such an ease and charm that I guarantee this film would not have been half its worth.
