The latest movie from Quentin Tarantino starts with beautiful music,
just the kind of music you hear in western movies, but wait a second, it itself
is a western movie!
At least the kind of western movie one would expect Tarantino to make.
The movie is set in that era of American history which is not much
talked about, an era of slavery, an era where it was common as well as legal to
have slaves and to treat them in any way the master considered fit. However this
movie is neither melodramatic nor an issue based movie. It’s just a Tarantino movie
where cars have been replaced by horses, mafia & bad guys replaced by rich
people trading in slaves, and bombs & machineguns replaced by old fashioned
cowboys guns, but believe me the fun remains the same, its classic Tarantino
stuff.
The movie catches you from the very first scene, unpredictable characters, erratic situations, amusing dialogues makes you glue on the seat. When any scene starts you won’t be in a position to deduce, how it will end. There are some sequences which may make you laugh so much that you may start feeling your guts in your mouth, my favorite being when dozens of men go out on horses wearing masks to kill Djano and his friend.
In the main cast Christoph Waltz delivers another amazing
performance, he is a gifted actor, ditto for Samuel L Jackson for a fantastic performance,
although Jamie Foxx
plays the lead, and Leonardo DiCaprio is the main villain, they don’t
come near the characterization or performance of above mentioned actors.
Action scenes are beautifully shot; there is one time in the movie when
you may think the film will end without the kind of climax Tarantino is known
for, and you start feeling cheated, when suddenly the scene changes and bullets
start firing from everywhere. The director makes a cameo appearance again like
many of his preceding movies.
All in all a must watch for any Tarantion fan.
Rating ****.
