StifledSilence 09/03/21 9:16:56 PM #382:	#2. Django Unchained 30 points Inviso 1 Johnbobb 1 Karo 1 Stifled 1 KBM 4 CoolCly 10 Pokewars 12 Very poor plot synopsis: A German man, a black man, and a redneck man walk into a bar Why it was included: It won Academy Awards. It won Golden Globes. It won BAFTA Awards. Christoph Waltz won all three! It was on a shitload of critic top ten lists for the year 2012, including the American Film Institute. It also made a shitload of other critics uncomfortable, proving its ability to make people have important conversations about racial inequality and violence, regardless of where they thought the movie stood on them. It paid homage to another movie on this list, down to using some of the music. Franco Nero even made a cameo! I dont think its a stretch to say Django Unchained is a modern masterpiece. What Stifled thinks: Forget westerns, Django Unchained is one of my favorite movies of any genre. It takes something awful like slavery and punches it right in its little bitch face with a pair of brass knuckles. It shows you just how awful it was with excellent and convincing performances as well as brutal violence from all of the various slave owner/lackey characters. It has equally as excellent performances from the sympathetic characters such as Doc Shultz and Brunhilda. And most importantly, Jamie Foxx provides an incredible performance of a man that began as a slave and transformed slowly over time into an ace bounty hunter. His progression is impressive to watch and feels accurately staggered over time instead of one montage teaching him everything. Doc trains him not only in combat, but also educationally. Django learns how to read, how to talk more clearly, and how to properly carry himself when playing a character. More importantly, Doc becomes a father figure to Django and their relationship is heartwarming. There is not a single thing I dislike about this movie. In fact, there is not a single thing about this movie that isnt exceptional. The soundtrack, the acting, the gunplay, the way the characters interact with each other, the emotional weight the story creates, EVERYTHING. 5/5, 10/10, 100/100, whatever metric you want me to grade this on, I give it a perfect score. --- Bear Bro The Empire of Silence <cite>StifledSilence posted [p:957715755] in Board 8 Ra...
