Lots of violence and blood though, but you would expect that from Tarantino. Set in the Southern part of States in 1858 - in the times of slavery - tells a story of a slave Django who gets freed by a bounty hunter (dr King Shultz) and gets trained as one himself. Having earned a lot of money as bounty hunters over the winter, they embark on a quest to free Django's wife (Broomhilda) from a cruel plantation owner Mr Candie. On the way, they see a lot of brutal treatment that slaves are subjected to. It is very sad to think that those acts of cruelty and exploitation of human beings were actually a norm in those times. While watching it, I was almost shaking with anger - as you do when you see such injustice. Yet, the story was made to look like and feel like an old fashioned Western movie. The main character is a hero, kills all the bad people and gets the girl.
I realise the film would not be everyone's cup of tea, but I will see it again some time in the future.
