I like the way you die, boy.

This weekend, I finally got to see the movie Django Unchained. You see, I went to the theater to see it a while ago, with my good friend. However, she happened to be a little sixteenyearold, so she couldn't see it, and being the good friend I am, I didn't abandon her and see it alone. 

But I got to see it this weekend, so all's good. 

And it was pretty good! I liked it well enough anyway. 

This movie centers around Django (the "D" is silent), a slave. Well, he was a slave in the first five or ten minutes of the movie. Then he's set free, and he joins a bounty hunter (white dude) as a term of his freedom. They do cool stuff for a while, killing people and all, and then Django goes to rescue his wife, from whom he was separated years ago. His bounty hunter friend tags along to help out. They have a fantastic adventure, involving Leonardo DiCaprio (omghe'ssohotandtotallynotold -Macy) as a slave owner. There're trials and tribulations and nothing goes quite right. But it was a good story and all. 

But of course, I have some complaints. Not really though. They're mostly observations that made me remark that the movie was "interesting" instead of just "good."

The first is the amount of fake blood they used. Oh. My. Goodness. It was like the Great Flood came again. I was looking for Noah and his ark the whole time. As there were a lot of deaths, you would expect a lot of blood. But the amount of blood per capita was ridiculous. Like a simple pistol shot would create a fountain. And don't even get me started on the shotgun shots. One of the scenes was in a house, and many people died. The amount of blood left on the walls was just absurd. I'm not sure if they meant to make it so outlandish, or what, but it was crazy. 

Then was the soundtrack. Each song on it's own, out of context, was good. Really cool sounding, you know. But it was weird selections. One song would be western-y, seeming to fit the situation. Then the next minute, you would hear rap selections. Quite interesting choices. 

It was overall a kind of silly movie. It had it's serious parts, but it also had a good amount of humor and lightheartedness put in in, which is always good in a movie, especially when it's about a subject such as this one. So in conclusion, I would encourage you to see Django Unchained. That is, if you're old enough. Good kids do not sneak into R rated movies.
