Movie ; DJANGO UNCHAINED


Quentin Tarantino ( This dude is awesome )

Some of the best movies in our list belongs to Tarantino.Django is one of them.

The killer dialogue of our choice of this movie is ;; '' My name is Django , D is silent ''

Directed by Quentin Tarantino , this movie stars Jamie Foxx, Christopher Walt'z, Leonardo DiCaprio. This movie is also said to be a tribute to the 1966 italian movie Django.

This movie is one of Tarantino's most successful ones. Earned him the most and got him most awards as well. Tarantino's previous highly praised and cult follower movies are -  Kill Bill , Pulp Fiction , Inglorious Bastards.

PLOT ; In Texas 1858, the Speck brothers, Ace and Dicky, drive a group of black slaves on foot. Among the shackled slaves is Django, sold off and separated from his wife, Broomhilda von Shaft. The Speck brothers are stopped by Dr. King Schultz, a German dentist-turned-bounty hunter from Düsseldorf, Prussia, who asks to buy one of the slaves. When he questions Django about his knowledge of the Brittle brothers, a group of outlaws for whom Schultz is carrying a warrant, Ace becomes irritated and aims his shotgun at Schultz in threat. Schultz, a superior gunslinger, immediately kills Ace in return and leaves an injured Dicky at the mercy of the newly freed slaves, who kill him and follow the North Star to freedom.
As Django can identify the Brittle brothers, Schultz offers Django his freedom in exchange for help tracking them down. After hunting down the Brittles, the liberated Django (who adopted the surname "Freeman") partners with Schultz through the winter and becomes his apprentice, and Schultz discovers that Django has a natural talent of being an incredible crack shot. Schultz tells Django that Broomhilda is named after Brunhilda, who was rescued from a prison of dragon hellfire by Siegfried, from the Germanic mythology. Schultz explains that he feels responsible for Django since Django is the first person he has ever freed, and felt more obliged to help Django (whom he described as a "real-life Siegfried") reunite with Broomhilda. Django, now fully trained, collects his first bounty, keeping the handbill for good luck.
In the Spring of 1859, Django and Schultz travel to Mississippi, where they learn the identity of Broomhilda's owner: Calvin J. Candie, the charming but cruel owner of the Candyland plantation, where slaves are forced to fight to the death in brutal wrestling matches called "Mandingo fights". Schultz, expecting Candie will not sell Broomhilda if they ask for her directly, feigns interest in purchasing one of Candie's prized fighters for far more than the normal price. Schultz and Django meet Candie at his gentleman's club in Greenville and submit their offer. Intrigued, Candie invites them to his ranch at Candyland. After secretly briefing Broomhilda, Schultz claims to be charmed by the German-speaking Broomhilda and offers to buy her.
During dinner, Candie's staunchly loyal house slave, Stephen, becomes suspicious of Schultz and Django's motives. Deducing that Django and Broomhilda know each other previously and that the sale of the Mandingo fighter is a ruse, Stephen alerts Candie and admonishes him for his greed. Candie is angered at being fooled and having his time wasted, but contains his anger long enough to theatrically display his knowledge of phrenology, which he uses to theorize why the slaves have failed to kill their oppressors, despite ample opportunity.
Candie's bodyguard, Butch Pooch, bursts into the room with his shotgun trained on the two bounty hunters, and Candie explodes in anger, threatening to kill Broomhilda. He offers an alteration of the original deal, with Broomhilda taking the Mandingo fighter's place at the same price, and threatens her death should the deal be rejected. After business appears concluded, Candie insists that the deal be sealed through a handshake, which Schultz initially refuses but eventually appears to concede. However, Schultz snaps and kills Candie with a concealed derringer. Butch shoots dead Schultz and Django kills him in turn, and an extensive gunfight in the mansion between Django and Candie's henchmen ensues. Django guns down a great number of his opponents, but surrenders when Broomhilda is taken hostage.
The next morning, Stephen tells Django that he will be sold to a mine and worked to death. En route to the mine, Django proves to his dim-witted Australian escorts that he is a bounty hunter by showing them the handbill from his first kill. He convinces them that there is a large bounty for criminals hiding at Candyland, and promises that they would receive the majority of the money. The escorts release him and give him a pistol, and he kills them before stealing a horse and returning to Candyland with a bag of dynamite.
Returning to the plantation, Django kills more of Candie's henchmen, takes Broomhilda's freedom papers from the dead Schultz's pocket, bids goodbye to his late friend and frees Broomhilda from a nearby cabin. When Candie's mourners return from his burial, Django kills the remaining henchmen and Candie's sister Lara Lee Candie-Fitzwilly, releases the two remaining house slaves, and kneecaps Stephen. Django then ignites the dynamite that he has planted throughout the mansion, and he and Broomhilda watch from a distance as the mansion explodes with the incapacitated Stephen inside, before riding off together.

Yeah this movie got some dark comedy as well as features the time when Black people were seen as slaves. ( Thank God that time has gone ).
Most interesting thing about this film is that a farm slave becomes the fastest hand in texas. ( okay his trainer was a real pro but still ). 

Some of the scenes that we will always remember from this movie :
1. The music , we loved the music. Background or the song. It supported the movies really good. Here by music we also mean sound and audio quality. 
2. The Saloon Part. Now that was some scene. We all know where the inspiration comes from. Remember the movie Desperado !! That Saloon scenes is also one that goes down in the history of film making. 
                                            In Django the officer incharge was straight away shot to his death which was really something. And also the Doctor asked to call the sheriff. That Character has got some balls.
3. All time best scene is where the actor of the 1966 Django movie come to the Django ( Jamie Foxx ) and asks his name. And then to spell it. Then comes the dialogue from Jamie Foxx that the 'D' is Silent !! Awesome ..
4. Not to mention the slave upon which dogs where let loose. Really CREEPY.!!
5. Cutting the Skull .
6. Handshake of the millennium. Just say how you would feel when someone offers a handshake ( no matter that person might be a enemy ) and you put a bullet through their heart. Such Irony. Handshake of death. 
7. The gun fight. Django taking out everyone and anything. So did his rivals tried. That bloodshed was something. The imagination required for this. That inspiration to survive. Definitely something.
8. The blast with happy ending. !!

Honorary mention : Samuel L Jackson a real good performance by him.
Well the deserved ones got numerous awards for their performance and contribution.
What we didn't like here is the death of the character of Mr. Walt'z , such sharp character went down such way. We expected his faith end in a much better fashion. But that's what we felt. Anyways Enjoy this one its really good.
