Abstract
The latest movie in the saga that is the demented genius of Quentin Tarentino, Django Unchained is an amazing movie. Though racked and steaming in controversy and an overabundance of the N-word, the story and the acting pulled it through. The trio of Jamie Foxx, Kerry Washington ad Quentin Tarentino sang in such good harmony as they made it through the script, the Academy awarded it an award for the script. God move and great times.

Tarantino Unleashed Django Unchained: Real Life Fake Story
Well with a name like Quentin, you have to do something exceptional, or you got to be able to fight really good to make in the real world of Hollywood. With Django Unchained he seems to have done both. And it is an exceptional fight that he has won. Django is the movie one needs to watched at least twice-despite controversial use of the disgustingly mind numbing N-word-is a story of every slave’s fantasy, getting to kill the “massah” and either getting paid for it or just because of who they were. Despite all of the controversy and all of the early leaks of the scripts and the movie, Django told the story and told it in a manner that made you feel as the movie’s director/writer wanted to feel. Django Set in the slave trade era of the Deep South with a flair for the Old West, the film follows a freed slave, played by Jamie Fox who begins travelling across the United States with a bounty hunter played by Christoph Waltz. Though Django is working for the good Dr. Schultz, he is really on a mission to rescue his wife played by Kerry Washington from a ruthless and vicious plantation owner played by Leonardo Dicaprio. It is a story that could have been told in a different manner had anyone else had taken up the mantel of command but Tarantino hits his mark. This is a movie that tends to scale many

    The most surprising thing about this film was the sheer brutality directed at the Native Americans in both real life and in film. In Reel Injun, I saw so many different times where the Natives were ostracized, beaten, and even killed. People started bringing the films to life and pushing stereotypes onto these people. When they fought back, we labeled them as wild and savage and ignored them as we took over their lands and homes. The clips in the film where we see glimpses of movies portraying them as the ones attacking us for no reason only further lead to violence and hatred. It was scary to see the image change from noble to savage so quickly.…

The film takes place just before the Civil War, in America’s southern region. The two create an unusual alliance; the bounty hunter will assist Django in finding his wife while Django helps Dr. Schultz track America’s most wanted. Although a portion of this film portrays slavery in a lighthearted manner, some aspects of it are shocking. The harsh, cruel treatment of African American slaves, forcing slave women into prostitution and unlikely relationship between a white man and black man were features that stood out to me the most.…

    There was one aspect of the movie I quickly agreed with at the ending. “We cant keep doing what were doing.” What needs to be focus on is how we can prevent crime, specifically drug crime. This means an overall of the Criminal Justice system. Julie Stewart advocates for 'Families Against Mandatory Minimums' and I agree with the moment shes trying to pass. Were filling our jail and prisons with low level offenders. As a result were perpetuating the cycle as kids see their parents go off to jail, and these youths thinking they too at some point in their future wind up behind bars. A man at the begining of the film said his role models were thugs and gang bangers, that it was the only way to make decent money. Another important thing that stood out to me is when an inmate said, once we get out we still have to check off the prison felony box on resumes. It's like these offenders cant escape even after they have done their time, as as I result I too feel the entirely of the criminal justice system needs to be reworked if we want to get…

    Django a was African-American slave who experienced many things that Andrew Beckett did. He was discriminated against, he was beaten and broken down physically and mentally. Beckett ends up winning his court case towards the end of Philadelphia and receives a settlement for the discrimination he faced. Similar to Django, who gets his revenge in a different way, killing dozens of white men and women. Both films are about men who are considered undesirable by the public and face many challenges because of inequality. Over all the goal of both movies is to bring awareness to topics of discrimination dealing with race (in the case of Django) and sexuality (in the case of…
