Django Unchained (2012) - I still think it's overrated.Not only I feel that it just drags towards the end but I think that the characters are extremely weak,especially comparing to Inglorious Basterds.
Calvin Candie as the greatest villain?What makes him so great?He's stupid and he gets killed because of his stupidity.Now Stephen(Samuel L Jackson) may be likeable but personally,he was just annoying for me.I also feel that Christoph Waltz didn't deserve his oscar.I preferred him as a ruthless nazi.I didn't care for his death even.
Another thing which bothers me is bit forced QT style and that's especially visible in the KKK and hand shaking scenes.It feel like Tarantino tries to do Tarantino and just overdos it.
I think the may reason why this movie is loved by a wider audience is the theme and the romance involved in the story.I love the flashback scene where "Freedom" plays,both times it made me cry,I'm not even sure why.Also,I find the movie inspiring in some way,both from racial and "goal-seeking" perspectives.
Just a minor detail but I feel that the rap music doesn't fit at all.
Anyway,I just wanted to say that I still don't get what's the fuss about this movie. :/
