Movie Review: Django Unchained is the most brutal film Quentin Tarantino has ever made. Unlike Kill Bill or Inglourious Basterds, where the violence was thrilling and carried a visceral kick, the carnage here is often ugly and difficult to watch. The movie is a western set in the antebellum South, but its central subject is slavery and the unspeakable abuse of blacks in the era, and Tarantino doesn’t shy from coming in close to show you the details. There are sequences in the film, such as a scene in which two men are forced to fight each other to the death using only their hands, that are horrifying - intentionally so. But the movie is also exciting and ironic and, at times, explosively funny: Even at his most serious, Tarantino can’t help but entertain and show you a good time, and his cast perfectly straddles the line between drama and comedy. Jamie Foxx stars as the eponymous hero, a slave purchased by Dr. King Schultz, a loquacious and immensely likable German bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz, as sublime here as he was in Basterds). King teaches Django to stop thinking like a slave and start behaving as a free man. Django agrees to help his rescuer track down wanted men, as long as they make their way to his wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), who is a slave at a plantation owned by the sadistic Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio).
