Django Unchained: The Brittle Brothers
“Django Unchained” both entertains and emotionally unnerves you. The movie takes place in a pre-civil war setting. Django is a young black man that is forced into slavery, after purposely separating him and his wife “Matilda” by slave auctioneers. On the way to a new home for the purchased slaves, “Dr. King Schultz” an unorthodox German bounty hunter, finds him and is asked to accompany him on a mission to kill Django’s previous owners, “The Brittle Brothers”. Their mission is a success and Schultz frees Django, and together they hunt the South’s most-wanted. Their travels end up taking them to a shady plantation, where Django find his wife, and it turns very ugly when their plan don’t go their way.
This movie is one of my many favorites,
like many Quentin Tarantino’s films they are beautifully shot and each actors had a unique way on putting a show on and it really made me more into each character. Leonardo DiCaprio is playing the “Shady Plantation Owner”, named Calvin Candie. Having DiCaprio playing this character really changed the mood of the scenes several times. Even though he was a last scene character I felt like he was an important role in the movie and I believe no one could have acted better than DiCaprio.
Many of the scenes had a lot of blood and noise effects that made me want to look away a lot of the times. The most interesting thing I thought about the movie was the language. During this period is when 2 years before the Civil War. Slavery was at its peek, so you can imagine what some people would’ve said back then. He did an amazing job on putting his film in a way it didn’t make audience feel uncomfortable. The abomination of slavery in the United States and the psychopathy of slave owners is what will forever stick with me about the movie, and I'm strangely grateful for it. I’m grateful to have been reminded of the realistic truth of the lives of African Americans faced. Treating them in the film like livestock to be abused, in whatever way they felt.
The memory of slavery can never, and should never be forgotten, but for the 3 hours of the film I didn’t feel like were just observing the history. I felt angry and wanted revenge against the people who put a bad name in our country
