Django Unchained

An appalling Free Fall

With an Oscar, Golden Globe and a BAFTA for original Screenplay tucked under its belt, its is only natural to go with soaring expectations. Have the standards for the revered awards become so pathetic?  Watching the movie is a horrifying free fall that takes you to undiscovered abyss in movie making.

Jamie returning to rescue his wife in the climax has all the smacking of 'B'  Grade Tamil movie, especially after he walks out of out of the house after blowing it seems straight out of a Vijay or Vijaykanth  film.  Sando Chinilnappa Devar would have been happy to have seen the horse dancing at the end in Tarentino movie. Curiously Jamie Fox also does well to imitate Thalaivar Rajini's shtyle of cooling glasses.

Will Smith seems to have been the initial choice for Jamie Fox, and he seems to have turned it down. Smart Will. The characterization and the writing for a protagonist could have never been more inept.

Caprio, Jackson and Christoph have definite meat in their roles. Christoph Waltz verbal chatter had some resemblance with the more clever and intense Hans Landa in the Basterds. Caprio is in his inimitable style and carries himself with his usual charisma. However I thought Samuel Jackson's character was brilliant. 

Yes, there were some special Tarentinesque moments like the one involving the Ku Klux Klan and a Gladiator like sequence packed.

A long ultra violent movie raking in 413 million dollars at box office and bestowed with all possible honorary awards, Where is this dear
