Django Unchained (2012)

Django Unchained is a redemption story about a free slave who will do anything he needs to to get his wife back from the people who bought her. 
This is one of my favorite films because of the effort put into it by director Quentin Tarantino and all of the actors onscreen. The plot of the movie is clear (even if it become a bit confusing sometimes), the acting is very good, and the directing in it is fantastic. I also enjoy the tones and themes in the movie of revenge, love, and loss and how the main character tries to overcome all of the obstacles in his way for the purpose of reuniting himself with his wife and to avenge his friend's death. 
The movie is directed like a spaghetti western because it contains many of the key plot elements and themes that are included with it. Many of the shots in the film are wide shots that show the main actin of the scene but also show off the setting. The movie used a good technique of strong, heavy build up, to a satisfying release. The structure of the film resembles many other revenge stories but still comes off fresh. 

I think that Django is a great addition to the western genre because it breathes new life into a dying series. This movie did a good job of balancing the action with the dialogue and the setting was new and fresh and I think that it is a strong film overall. I would recommend Django to anybody who loves western films or action films.
