Quentin Tarantino is known for both labored dialogue and
extreme, sudden violence. Those two
elements have always been his main calling cards. One thing that he has never been associated
with is nonstop action. Though his
movies contain their fair share of bloodletting, they aren’t particularly fast
moving. His characters often spend way
more time talking to each other than they do shooting at each other. Nevertheless, the international trailer for Django Unchained shows both the title
character and his white liberator to be very trigger happy.
However, I do love the way the film seems to revel in Django
gunning down his enemies. I also like
the superhero iconography that is used to depict him. There’s something superheroic in the way he
throws off that ratty shroud after being rescued. Though it’s highly unlikely that Django Unchained will be an action
packed romp, this trailer hints at it being just that. Still, I suspect that the fireworks will come
mostly by way of the dialogue. If
Quentin has finally found a happy medium between action and dialogue, Django Unchained will truly be a wonder
to wonder to behold.
