About Django Unchained
- Released on December 25, 2012
Django Unchained is a 2012 American revisionist Western film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, and starring Jamie Foxx as Django Freeman, a freed slave who becomes a bounty hunter under the tutelage of Dr. King Schultz, played by Christoph Waltz. The film is a unique blend of spaghetti western and blaxploitation genres, and is set in the antebellum South, two years before the Civil War.
The movie follows the journey of Django and Dr. Schultz as they travel together, hunting down dangerous criminals. During their travels, Django tells Dr. Schultz about his wife, Broomhilda, who is being held captive by the ruthless plantation owner, Calvin Candie, played by Leonardo DiCaprio. Moved by Django's story, Dr. Schultz agrees to help him rescue Broomhilda, and the two hatch a plan to infiltrate Candie's plantation, Candyland, under the guise of wanting to purchase a Mandingo fighter.
The film is a powerful exploration of slavery, racism, and the struggle for freedom, all told through the lens of Tarantino's signature style of storytelling. The characters of Django and Dr. Schultz are complex and multi-dimensional, and their relationship is at the heart of the film. Jamie Foxx delivers a powerful performance as Django, a man who has been through unimaginable horrors but remains determined to reunite with his wife and live a free life. Christoph Waltz is equally impressive as Dr. Schultz, a man who initially sees Django as a means to an end but ultimately becomes his friend and ally. The film is a must-watch for fans of Tarantino's work and anyone interested in a unique and thought-provoking take on American history.
