The movie I did was Django Unchained and the plot of the movie was Django was a African American slave that has been split up with his significant other who was also a slave by their owner because he sold them to two different places. Dr.king Schultz a German man comes along and frees the slaves but asks Django if he knows a man he is trying to kill. Dr. king Schultz is a bounty hunter and Django said he knew the man and during their adventure he teaches Django his tricks of killing and Dr. King Schultz said he’d lead Django to his wife if Django agreed to be his partner in bounty hunting. Once they reach the man their trying to kill they’ll act nice with him to try and get into his house and then they’ll try to take Django’s wife and somehow get out safely. Christopher Waltz who played Dr. Schultz was great in this movie. He played sarcastically funny perfect and serious at times during the movie. Christopher was awarded with his talented performance by winning Best performance by an actor in a supporting role at the academy awards. For a Man who hasn’t won an Oscar Leonardo Decaprio played a great role in this movie. Decaprio played one of the rich slave owners whose house they tried to get into because Decaprio owned Django’s wife. Decaprio was good because he would be so kind and happy and a nice guy then if something went wrong he’d blow up and be mad and I think it’d be hard to do both of those so well in a short time span. Just an example of how good Decaprio is was there was a scene in the movie towards the end Candie (decaprio) caught on to Schultz and Djangos plan and smashed his hand against the table and he actually cut himself and he was bleeding his own blood but he kept the character role going and finished the take and that ended up being the take they used for the movie. The New Yorker said this is Tarantino’s best piece and I’d have to agree because his movies aren’t the best but this one was amazing. the New Yorker also pointed out how Tarantino went back to a revenge plot because in the end Django is just going out for blood for what the whites have done to slaves which Django took seriously. I agree with that because Tarantino does revenge movies a lot. I would also say Revenge is the theme of the movie because during the whole movie Django is furious whenever a slave gets abused or treated wrong and Schultz tells Django to calm down and that he’ll have his chance to get them back. Another theme would be don’t give up on love. Django seemed like he lost his significant other for good but somehow and almost impossibly he found her and Django never gave up even if he had to die. Overall opinion for this movie as an A plus ten out of ten for me. I really loved it when I watched it I mean it had a lot of humor, a great cast, a lot of action, and it was a movie that always kept you watching and wanting to know what is about to happen. The movie itself did pretty good in the academy awards too so that says enough but I highly recommend this movie.
