Django Unchained Review

This extremely violent and incredibly entertaining film directed by Quentin Tarantino never backs down from an opportunity to create a disturbing, harrowing scene. Quentin Taratino loves to make movies with lots of blood and guts and this movie is no exception.

A man beats another man to death with a hammer, a pack of dogs chew apart a runaway slave, and throughout the movie, there is blood practically exploding from people’s chests whenever they are shot.

Set two years before the Civil War, “Django Unchained,” follows the journey of the freed black man Django, played by Jamie Foxx, and bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz, played by Christoph Waltz, as they connect with all sorts of interesting Southern characters.

Dr. Schultz pairs up with Django because Django can lead Dr. Schultz to his next bounty. After this successful bounty, Django is given his freedom and can choose to leave Dr. Schultz if he so pleases. However, Django decides to stay with Dr. Schultz, hoping that Dr. Schultz can help him find his wife, Broomhilda, which he is forcefully separated from.

Django and Dr. Schultz create a great bounty hunting team and their two very different characters help them be successful. Django is a man who is unafraid. He talks back to white males, which is unheard of at that time and has “the quickest shot in the South.” Dr. Schultz is an experienced bounty hunter, who finds a way to sneak out of almost every seemingly deadly situation. He is a relaxed character who does most of the talking for the duo.

After the duo successfully kills and collects bounties throughout the winter, they decide to try and find Broomhilda. Their search leads them to “Candyland,” one of the largest plantations in Mississippi, owned by Calvin Candie, played brilliantly by Leonardo DiCaprio. While Django and Dr. Schultz are on the plantation under false identities Candie’s right-hand man Stephen, played by Samuel L. Jackson, catches on to their plan and Django is forced to violently improvise in an attempt to save the love of his life.
