#10 Django Unchained

    Django Unchained is at the number ten spot in the list of my top ten favorite movies. Django Unchained is one of the best action films to date. Not only is it an action movie, but it is also a comedy. The movie resembles real life events in the past, such as slavery and bounty hunting. Django Unchained gets wild at any given moment. One moment there will be a conversation, and the next someone’s getting their head blown off. The suspense of the movie is what draws the audience in. The unexpected plot twists and sudden action makes the movie so phenomenal. 

 

    Django Unchained is about a slave who is accompanying a bounty hunter who is on a mission to capture men named the Brittle Brothers. Their mission to capture the Brittle Brothers was a success and the bounty hunter frees Django. After Django is freed, he and the bounty hunter, Schultz join each other and go on a hunt for the South’s most dangerous criminals. Django and Schultz go on a journey across the South and end up at a plantation. They end up on the infamous plantation of shady Calvin Candie, and there Django finds his long-lost wife is still alive. They then stay on the plantation and end up killing everyone in there and escaping, all but Schultz, the bounty hunter.

 

    My favorite scene of Django Unchained is when Django and Schultz kill the Brittle Brothers. The scene starts off with flashbacks of Django and his wife attempting to escape the plantation, but they end up failing and getting recaptured. After they were recaptured, they were punished, and they were whipped senseless by the Brittle Brothers. In the flashbacks, there was an ironic line said by one of the brothers, “I like the way you die, boy". This line would come back to hunt the Brittle Brother. Django walked up behind the first brother while he was whipping a slave, had him turn around, and shot him dead in the chest. The second brother saw the whole thing, and while he was fumbling to grab his gun, Django picked up a whip and beat him down to the ground, then shot him twice. Django had the opportunity to seek vengeance, and he did. After he shot the brother dead, he said “I like the way you die boy.” Schultz arrives at the scene with a rifle and shoots the third brother off his horse.
