2. Django Unchained
Director: Quentin Tarantino
Stars: Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo Di Caprio, Samuel L. Jackson
Synopsis: With the help of a German bounty hunter, a freed slave sets out to rescue his wife from a brutal Mississippi plantation owner
For his eighth film, Tarantino tackled America’s dark past with slavery. Of course this is a Tarantino film so violence plays a part, but no where near as much as you'd think. Yes, there is one hell of a gun fight towards the end, but its almost like Tarantino saved it all up for one splendid showcase. The dialogue runs as freely and smoothly as any previous Tarantino flick. His knack for writing naturalistic dialogue still holds an heir of freshness to modern day motives, and is strong in this film and never seems out of place.
