Django Unchained



The eagerly anticipated new Quinten Tarantino movie sees Jamie Foxx playing a freed slave on a quest to find his wife, with the help of Dentist/Bounty Hunter Christopher Waltz. Genred as a Spaghetti Western, Django Unchained is more meatballs than sauce, and  though Tarantino kept to his guns in a number of ways, one thing I sorely missed was his chapters. Therefore I will recreate them in the most Tarantion-esque way.

Chapter 3: Candyland
After learning of his wife Broomhildas (Kerry Washington) whereabouts, the Doctor and Django set up a ploy to buy her freedom, which involves getting acquainted with the Devishly Debonair Candy man, or more formally known as Calvin J. Candie (Leonardo Dicaprio)

Chapter 1: Unchained
Shackled to his fellow brethren of slaves Django (Jamie Foxx) is sought out by Dr King Schultz (Christopher Waltz) who is looking for a band of murderers  known as the Speck Brothers, their escapades known by many but their faces only viewed by a few. One of whom is Django. The slave traders drive a hard bargain, but after a brief negotiation and a receipt as proof of purchase Schultz "Buys" Django.

Chapter 4: Shit Hits the Fan
Like a carefully constructed arrangement of dominos, one gone shot sets everything off as all hell breaks loose and the sauce gets everywhere. No one is safe as the bullets get blasted, bombs get detonated and kneecaps are obliterated.

Chapter 2: Bounty Hunting
On the hunt for the Speck Brother and a cut in the bounty of the Speck Brothers, Django learns the trade. Once the chase is over, he decides to keep bounty hunting to save up and sharpen his skills before he attempts to find and rescue his wife Broomhilda with the help of Schultz who has grown attached to Django and his story.

Interlude: Stephen
No Tarantino Movie would be complete without Samuel L Jackson who has now appeared in five out of ten Tarantino directed movies. Though his screen time wasn't very high, Jackson made his time count and played a most rememerable role in Candie's long serving family slave and confidant Stephen.

Tarantino has created a new iconic master piece that will allow this generations film watches to no longer think of him as the old school filmmaker, but as someone whose fearsome talents has an unforgiving effect on the audience.
