Django – Black Götterdämmerung

Quentin Tarrantion master of B-movies gone A, resucitates another classic in its on league, Django, in order to give it a bizarre brush up. He is not shy of even integrating ancient German mythology in his plot, set in the antebellum KKK belt.

The slave Django is freed by a German dentist gone bounty hunter Dr. Schulz and helps him to identify three bail breakers in order to collect the bounty placed on their heads.  They grow fond of each other in the process and decide to team up to free Djangos lost love “Broomhilde“, of Afro-German origin, named after a heroine of the Nibelung Myth. Fact, which is interesting for the name Django derives from the Afro-Cuban God of Thunder Changó. Tarrantion in his eternal quest for bizarreness, thereby, involuntarily or not, creates a mythological couple, comparable only if you teamed up, say, Venus with Spiderman.

In a turmoil of blodshed, gunfire and artful maneuvers, Dr. Schultz and basically everybody except Django and his sweetheart die, who live happily ever after.

This movie is a must for all Tarrantino fans, and especially lovers of his weakness for bizarre dialogs. In one sequence a lynch mob party is arguing  for five minutes if they should use hoods or not, on the grounds of breath and visual impediment almost forgetting their original objective.
