Django Unchained
The movie Django Unchained is a good movie that is set back in 1858. It involves a slave by the name of Django that was sold away from his wife. I think this movie gives a clear picture of how people and times where back in the 1800’s and displays a very good message.

The movie is very good by the standards that it shows very clear of how slaves were sold and treated, also the ways people acted back in time. This movie captioned how slaves often were treated less than any other human and called nigger frequently. In these times slaves were often treated differently depending on their owner and in Django’s case the bounty hunter that came along treated him like a human being equal to himself and trained him in his profession in order to get his job done. The film clearly prefers a more definitive, spectacular, comprehensive, and ultimately simplistic portrait of revolution-via-revenge. Even though this movie has been labeled a spaghetti western the morality overrides the fiction shown in the movie. Even though a lot of the events are not exactly chronologically correct Quinton Tarantino brought true insight to the demoralization to the African American culture. Through out history there have been many slaves of different races but not here in America. This is history that we can not change and even though this movie may come across very offensive to some, if you are able to push past the degrading name calling, the abuse and violence it does a great job of depiction during this time.
Now on the other hand many people find this movie very disrespectful do to the language and violence. For one this is not a movie for children or the ones who care not to relive the past. This movie picks apart how slaves were constantly abused, disrespected, and subjected to all kinds of mistreatment. History shows that parts of this movie are pure fiction. For instance the Ku Klux Klan was formed around one hundred years after this movie timeline was set. This move shows graphic scenes of fighting which the plantation owner Calivin Candie was hosting fights called Mandingo fighting. There is no actual proof that slaves of the 1800’s were exposed to any kind of treatment like this. This movie shows very unethical ways to treat people even though we can not deny the historical fact that slavery did exist in this country.
This movie should have had more real facts if a producer this powerful was going to release such a controversial movie. With a movie and message this strong he has shaped some peoples ways of thinking and especially people with ancestry tied back to these days.
In the end I think that this movie even though it was not exact or one hundred percent factual the message of how slavery days were depicted was great. Even though we are in the times of the free and equal opportunity it was not always like this. We have fought long and hard from all races to get the rights and freedom that we have today and this movie just goes to show you how far we really came and that anything is possible if you look at it in the right perspective. So if you can push past the blood, violence, and language this is a great movie to watch for an inside scoop on how it was to be African American.
