Movie #710 ........................."Dzango Unchained"

Movie #710 "Dzango Unchained" -- this will be short and not sweet --- I thought this movie would never end -------I've liked some of Tarantino's work in the past (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Inglorious Bastards)but this one is at the bottom, to me. Why? It lacks a moral compass --- I don't feel I learned anything watching this --- I didn't find it very humorous, I didn't find it entertaining (unless buckets of blood titillate you, you might not, either), the "n" word was said way beyond what I could stand, Kerry Washington's character was a hysterical, helpless woman, therefore a waste of a good actress (haven't we seen enough of that through the years?),and why do we need to see a film where whites enjoy killing blacks and blacks enjoy killing whites?(haven't we seen enough of that, too?) In fact, this movie seemed terribly appropriate to show at Christmas season, and in the wake of the shooting in Connecticut --- I ask: HAVEN'T WE SEEN ENOUGH BLOOD AND SHOOTINGS? I guess according to Tarantino, we haven't --- and for what reason is it all shown here? We know about man's inhumanity to man --- why do we need to see it from one scene to another to another. Nope, walked out of this one --- watched the end from the sidelines, but I thought it would never end. That being said, I am not the target audience here --- spaghetti westerns + horror genres are at work, and I find both unsettling for my eyes and stomach. I give it 2.5 out of 5 star Django Unchained 2012 R Accompanied by a German bounty hunter, a freed slave named Django travels across America to free his wife from a sadistic plantation owner. Quentin Tarantino directs this modern-day spaghetti Western. Cast:Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington, Samuel L. Jackson, Walton Goggins, Dennis Christopher, James Remar, Michael Parks, Don Johnson Genre:Drama
