Django Unchained Review

Image
Over the course of an all but faultless career, Quentin Tarantino has dealt with a range of topics that are controversial to say the least. From his take on 1970's blaxplotation films in Jackie Brown, an horrific rape scene in Kill Bill, Nazi's in Inglorious Basterds and now pre-civil war slavery in Django Unchained, Tarantino has always pulled it off with an incredible lack if community reaction. Sure, parents associations complain about violence and Spike Lee complains about the overt use of the "N" word, but generally his films are labelled "controversial" before being widely accepted by audiences. It seems to be Tarantino's honesty that allows this to happen. Honesty and the completely in-your-face, over the top way that he approaches these topics. He makes them larger than life, puts a spotlight on the elephant in the room, demystifies it and takes away its power.

Not many films generate as much buzz as a Tarantino film does. Since last year we here at Geek HQ have had people asking if we've heard more about Django, when are we reviewing Django and how do you pronounce Django? Well, the campaign trail is heating up and it's only weeks away now. Check out the latest clip titled, "You Scaring Me" which just reinforces my continuous claim that Tarantino is the greatest dialogue writer in cinema today. Check out the all new clip after the jump and remember, the D is silent!
