Facing the Odds...

Django Unchained by far is one of the best Quinton Tarantino movies. Everyone knows how great the man is as he has brought us such movie favorites like Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction, and Gran Torino. His movies are always filled with the best of the best (Actors). This one stars, Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DeCarprio, and Samuel Jackson, not to forget other notable characters. The great aspect of the film is that Tarantino stuck true to old western films but added a modern flavor.  Django Unchained is about a slave and his journey to be with his wife. We find him crossing a winter forest along with four other slaves and three white slave drivers. As luck would have it another white man posing as a dentist stops them and asks for Django specifically. He goes on to explain that the plantation where Django just came from, the slave drivers there were criminals and since he didn't know what they looked like he asks Django for his help to point them out to him. This doesn't sit right with the slave drivers and they demand the dentist leave immediately! As the man is actually a bounty hunter, he wastes no time and shoots two divers and wounds the other rendering him no threat. Django accepts his offer and thus begins the journey to find the criminals. Django and the Bounty Hunter make such a great team that not only do they go after a couple criminals but they put away 50 to 100 in just one winter. The bounty hunter helps Django understand the art of the gun and killing, this gains the trust of Django and he asks the Bounty Hunter to help him find his wife and free her. Eventually the two find out that his wife is located at one of the biggest plantation owners and at the same time, one of the ruthless too. What can be learned from this story, is that no matter the odds, we must fight for what is dearest to us. Django, being a slave had to overcome not only physical blocks but mental too. Its something great to see and puts a fire under your heart giving you the strength and power to overcome great obstacles as well. Go see Django Unchained and don't hesitate to fight the greatest of battles.
