#76 | Django Unchained | 2013 | |
Set in the South two years before the Civil War,
Django Unchained stars Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave
whose brutal history with his former owners lands
him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr.
King Schultz (Christoph Waltz). Schultz is on the
trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only
Django can lead him to his bounty. Honing vital
hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal:
finding and rescuing Broomhilda (Kerry Washington),
the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago. Django
and Schultz's search ultimately leads them to Calvin
Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), the proprietor of
"Candyland," an infamous plantation. Exploring the
compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz
arouse the suspicion of Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson),
Candie's trusted house slave. -- (C) Weinstein. |
