Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained, much like the director himself, has faced plenty of criticism. Some have focused on Tarantino’s brief on-screen appearance, while others have questioned the film’s frequent use of racial slurs – a choice that even prompted filmmaker Spike Lee to voice his concerns, stating Tarantino seemed overly fascinated with the word. However, despite – or perhaps because of – this controversy, Django Unchained has become a cult favorite, currently holding an 87% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film follows Django (Jamie Foxx), a slave who teams up with German bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) to capture the dangerous Brittle brothers. Schultz frees Django, and together they hunt criminals across the South. Their pursuit eventually leads them to the plantation of Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), where they hope to find Django’s enslaved wife.
