The film may never truly leave its comical mood, but I still feel related to these characters every time I watch it.

I've actually hesitated between Django Unchained and Inglourious Basterds as my second favorite Tarantino film for a long time, but ultimately I think the latter is Tarantino's best recently made film.

The most important ones are Margo Channing (brilliantly played by Bette Davis), an aging star of the theater, Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter), a seemingly innocent girl who starts working her way up into the business, and last but not least, one of my personal favorite film characters of all time, Geor...

The Coens wrote this film while suffering writer's block during the writing of Miller's Crossing (which is also one of their very best films, in my opinion) and that's very apparent in this film's plot.

The film features a rich amount of interesting characters, Altman's directing is exceptionally great (there are a couple of really cool jokes, using some well timed cuts) and all the different plotlines are just very enjoyable and interesting to observe.

The very last shot with that ending song is one of my favorite cynical final film moments of all time.

Still, as you can see, it was no reason for me to not enjoy the overall film immensely and add Django Unchained to my all time favorite films.

The film has the atmosphere of a film noir and everyone talks like they're in a film noir, but in essence this really is a deliciously cynical dark comedy (in the most subtle sense of the word).

The characters are interesting, the script can be funny, tensive and haunting, the directing is Altman at his best, the film has a warm, heartfelt core and the story is very interesting and entertaining to follow.

This film's "universe" and visual atmosphere reminded me of Gilliam's Brazil (which is one of my favorite films of all time), Lynch's Eraserhead and also a little bit of Hitchcock's Rear Window.
