Django Unchained (2012) Review

Or Tarantino Unleashed!

Me and Manface and Django Unchained (2012)

Watch the Trailer here.

So yes, the subject of the first post on my return was supposed to be Django Unchained (2012) so let's get right on that.

On Wednesday Manface and I went to the Odeon in Bath. That of course means two things;


1. Bath Odeon
Undoubtedly the most uncomfortable cinema I have ever had the displeasure of sitting in. Everything else is fine, don't get me wrong, but they do something to those seats to make you constantly wriggle. Maybe it's a new movement to combat passive viewing in the cinema? I don't know, but I go to the Odeon to watch generic blockbusters. If I want something special I'll go to the Little Theatre every time.

2. Orange Wednesdays
Now I'm not against Orange Wednesday in premise. It brings a lot more people into the cinema which I love. Cinema is communal. I think being forced to overhear and process the opinions of those you wouldn't usually share such insights with can bring about the best type of analysis. It is also for this reason why I will rarely read a review until after I have seen a film. I much prefer to have my own personal, internal (although despite the absence of the other party I often find it does get quite vocal!) debate with a critic than to have their opinions influence my own reading. I digress. The point is more bums on seats is fantastic, however you can always guarantee if there's a bunch of obnoxious cinema goers it will definitely be on a Wednesday.

So beyond that, woooo cinema!

Django Unchained follows slave Django (Jamie Foxx), now a 'Freeman' 'unchained' by his unlikely partner Dr Schultz (Christoph Waltz), a German bounty hunter. After Django shows promise in the profession Schultz takes him on as his protege while they save enough money over the Winter to rescue Django's wife from slavery.
