Chained to the unchained - DJANGO.

"And this is my horse Fritz."

It is a movie about an apolling part of history, nontheless as Quentin Tarantino has managed before, the heavyness of the topic is reduced by using an unique sense of humour.

Demonstrated not only in the profund, fast, very well put together dialogues but also by the way of directing. The acting is sharp and on the spot, starring Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo di Caprio, Samuel Jackson, just in order to mention a few.  The music is carefully chosen for every scene. However cruel or intense the scene may be, it is the music and the camera angle that lifts the temper of the spectator.

Tarantino does not lift his fingers and sais "you see how horrible the world was, watch out that nothing like that occurs again" and leaves the audience with their mysery. He decorates the tremendousness with humaness and fulsomeness.

In one scene, in which blood, looking more like Ketchup spreads out of almost every body in shoals, the sister of Calvin Candie (Leonardo di Caprio) flies out of the room with such an unrealistic exaggerated speed after having been shot, that the spectators thought which initially was one of pitty turns to be a more mild and humorous one.

To the people who critzise that Tarantino does not handle the topic with enough respect I can just say: Fulsomeness brings clarification, as a very wise man once said.

The movie ends and you have not felt the last 2 hours and 45 minutes running by. The heart was touched by the friendship of these two very opposite but complementary men. By the immense love between Django and his wife Brunhilde, which drives Django to combat the impossible. It is touched by the horror in which black people lived during slavery in the United States.

The heart and head do leave untouched, as some critizisers of Tarantinos way of production might argue. Quite the opposite is the case; the pictures burn into your head.

A horse waggon with a tooth on his roof becomes smaller and smaller when heading southwards and the importance of not forgetting such a humiliating part of our history becomes bigger and bigger.
