Anyone else see it? Thoughts?
I thought it was excellent. It was one of the most brutal, gut wrenching, and graphically violent films I can recall (Tarantino at his most extreme). It was also a bit too long. However, it did a great job of demonstrating the horrors of slavery and racism in a fairly realistic manner. The production values were outstanding, and the performances were brilliant. Christoph Walts is an amazing actor, and does a wonderful job as the most decent person (for a shoot first bounty hunter) in the film. Jamie Foxx is splendid and a true badass. Leonardo DiCaprio proves he can personify evil with the best of them. He was incredible. Samuel L. Jackson plays a very despicable and complex character, and as usual, does a remarkable job. All in all, a great movie. However, it is not for everyone.
