Django Unchained is written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. The movie is set in the Antebellum South of The US. It starts in the year 1858. The people of the South at that time had slaves and were staunch racists. The movie stars Jamie Foxx in the titular role of Django who is on a path of vengeance since being by a bounty hunter Dr. Schultz ( Christoph Waltz). Django's wife; Broomhilda von Shaft (Kerry Washington) is a slave under Calvin Candie ( Leonardo Di Caprio) and Django wants to free her. The conflict in the movie is slavery, revenge, oppression and the power of love.
Django when freed by Schultz, tells him the story of how he married Broomhilda even when it wasn't allowed and how they were punised. Then they were sold to differ is taught by Shultz bounty hunting and is trained by him in all sort of combat and weapons. Django for the first winter spends time with Schultz bounty hunting and then Schultz and Django go to free Broomhilda. They enter into Calvin Candie's acquaintance as wrestling enthusiasts who want to buy "Mandingo" fighters, Calvin forces his slaves to wrestle. Calvin invites them to his farm to look at the "wrestlers". In Calvin's house, the head slave Stephen (Samuel Jackson) realises Django's plan and tells Calvin. In the climax, in a chaotic sequence, we see Calvin blackmailing Django and Schultz to buy Broomhilda at the price they were offering for the wrestler or he'll kill her. They accept the offer but even on insisting Schultz doesn't shake Calvin's hand which enrages Calvin. Schultz goes on to kill Calvin because he can't tolerate such a racist and vile person. Shortly after Schultz is killed by Butch. A big fight starts off, its total Tarantinoesque in nature, aestheticizing violence and blood. Django is again captured but he's able get free again and he goes to frees Broomhilda. He blows up the mansion of the dead Calvin Candie and frees Broomhilda. This movie was very controversial in its time but the ending gives us the views of Tarantino on the barbaric and racist regime before the Emancipation.
