Django Unchained

Going into Django Unchained, I really didn't know what to expect.  

I knew that it was a Quentin Tarantino movie, so I expected there to be a lot of unnecessary amounts of blood spurts when someone was shot and I had been told that it was a fairly long movie (almost three hours long). Other than that, I really had no expectations. 

To me, Django Unchained was the Inglorious Bastards for slaves, and who wouldn't want to watch that? The movie brought you through so many emotions that you were left feeling tiredly triumphant at the end. I really don't want to give away too many details for those of you who haven't seen it...but I will say that it has a "happy" ending - Quentin Tarantino style. 

Being a white girl from Mississippi, the one thing about the movie that made me feel so ashamed I almost wanted to hide my face in the theater and publicly apologize for something I had no control over, was how the movie highlighted Mississippi in the worst possible way. *Hooray for Mississippi being where the worst slave plantations were*

Don't worry though, Candyland gets what it deserves. 

Overall, I feel like Django was an amazing movie. Yes, it did play on some touchy subjects, but I feel like it sent out a solid message with it. You can always change your future; there is always hope. Django was that "hope" to hold on to in this movie.
