Django Unchained (2012)

A German bounty hunter befriends a slave searching for his wife but the odds are by far against them.

While a lot of Westerns manage the drama on the gore alone or at least the male posturing, this one manages to travel on a bed of comedy as well as the heavy subject matter which doesn’t get left ignored. The better humour come naturally to the situation, like how one guy gets repeatedly shot in the crossfire but never killed.

There is never going to be a way that it’d all end with out favourite characters surviving, if not because it’s a Western then because it’s a Tarantino film. Broaching a historical aspect with so much bloodshed implies inimicably that there will be a body count as well as enough loss conveyed to the audience that they’ll feel along with our protagonists.

Even though some parts of the narrative were farcicle, all the roles were played with deadly seriousness and the humour wouldn’t have occurred without this; in fact it’d have been somewhat offensive if the leads hadn’t treated it as a clear drama. There was still also enough action and cinematography to make the Western relevant again.

So few women were present in the story that one may almost forget that some slaves were women to begin with aside from the love interest who only had the role of damsell. There was also a lot of reliance on Django being a freed slave who could shoot naturally, foregrounding the point that minorities have to be exceptional to be considered human, or at least worthy of notice, which isn’t the case; people are people in their own right and that can’t even be the bar.

7/10 -Well above average, but no masterpiece-

-DiCaprio suffered a genuine hand injury while cutting open the skull but acted through it and in later scenes can be seen wearing a bandage.

-One of Calvin’s slaves is named “Samson”, after a human who was give enhanced strength by the gods, similar to the search for a “black Hercules”, Hercules was a demi-god know for super-human strength.

-Schultz was designed to reflect Doc Holiday, a dentist turned gunfighter.

204/?: Django Unchained (2012) - watched 11/18/23

I have seen this before, and although it still has the problems I remember, they didn’t seem as glaring as they did in memory. I think the biggest problem with it is that Tarantino had too many ideas for what he wanted to do with this character and still tried to stuff them into one movie. This movie could lose 20 minutes and be only the better for it. Still, the basic meat of the story is great, and the performances are also outstanding. Some of the stylized violence is way too much for the tone of the movie, but Tarantino just can’t help himself.

Academy Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role:

Well frankly, I've never given anybody their freedom before. And that I have, I feel vaguely responsible for you. Plus, when a German meets a real life Sigfried, that's kind of a big deal. As a German, I'm obliged to help you on your quest to rescue your beloved Broomhilda.
