Django Unchained *Read in Tarantino Style
Django Unchained is off the hook! Okay, that was corny and so was the very last minute of the movie. What do you expect from a "spaghetti southern" genre? It is a genre. Tarantino invented it. And I appreciate it. For you well read literary types that loved Midnight in Paris, Tarantino references the works of Alexander Dumas and German folklore. Don't worry you don't need to read up on any of the works prior, because he introduces the two very well and effectively. So, yes, historical fiction, with an emphasis on the noun. If you want historically accurate account of slavery watch, Lincoln. But this movie is as accurate as Inglourious Bastards was to Nazi history. But no one watches Tarantino movies for accuracy, you watch it because it is a smart, fun, and can bring the likes of almost-forgettable actors, such as Tom Wopat's, career back to life. (Is it?)
