Django Unchained
Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained” (2012) is a revisionist Western that follows Django Freeman (Jamie Foxx), a freed slave on a mission to rescue his wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington) from brutal Mississippi plantation owner Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio). With the aid of German bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz), Django becomes a skilled bounty hunter himself, leading them on a violent quest through the South.
Filled with sharp dialogue, intricate characters, and an unflinching portrayal of racism and slavery in the antebellum South, Quentin’s signature style is evident. The film explores complex, morally ambiguous characters and addresses vital themes such as racism, slavery, and revenge in a thought-provoking manner.
