And They Survived Happily Ever After.

There are germany factors that qualifies an actor to be in the running for Best Actor in the Academy Awards. One of which that Russovoir strongly suggests is the biggest factor is the lingering impact of the performance; the delivery, the passion, the energy that seem unstable, but are contained within the corners of the camera because who would want precious talent wasted and misplaced. That being said, what trouble and expense incurred in the making of an Oscar statuette were for a righteous cause; Christoph Waltz is the righteous effect.

Defiant and devious, Waltz's role was insatiable. Tarantino couldn't have picked a better actor for a character whose ulterior, manipulative approach was masked by the veneer of diplomacy. He had this idiosyncrasy (or possibly an acting instruction) from which we get ourselves lost from the many or few, regardless, words he must say, as a revelatory bounty hunter, in Django Unchained. Adorably measured and imposing in delivery of them fancy words, both in aforementioned film and Inglourious Basterds (2009), Waltz has always been in good hands by top dog director, Quentin Tarantino.

Two (2) Oscar awards for two (2) Tarantino films - coincidence? Nein.

"You silver tongue devil, you."

In another universe, at another bizarre academy award show, Django Unchained wins, unquestionably, Best Pictorture. It was almost hard to take in all the bloodshed, brutality, and suffering. Not that Russovoir doesn't appeal to the sort. In fact, it's one of Russovoir's favorite sorts (provided the storyline is bloody interesting). It's just that films that elaborate and/or innovate the idea of slavery - black slavery - has its repercussions. Although while the film favors the blacks with a happy ending, and the maltreatment that which evokes sympathy, the notoriously prevalent racism of the past (from such medium) irks the suppressed racism of the present; however slightly, it's felt. Russovoir won't go telling you how so; he leaves it up to you. Had none was even seen (so subtle) from the film, discretion saves the humiliation of paranoia (not that it already hasn't begun).

Overall, Tarantino is a fearless man - hold up! - you didn't just pass over Leonardo DiCaprio, did you? What is this, the Oscars? Shame.

DiCaprio was like any other character he played that always seems dismissed by the Academy: immersed. It was even more compelling with the knowledge (thank you 9gag) that at such climactic scene, what appeared to be an 'accident' was already an improvised production value. It was remarkably almost deceiving to witness such spontaneity. Such spontaneity too was agonizingly palpable from Kerry Washington's obsequiousness. All of which mentioned left little to Jamie Foxx. Poor guy, overshadowed - not by the role - but by performance recall.

"You had my curiosity. But now you have my attention."

Overall, Tarantino is a fearless man. Django Unchained stirred up controversies left and right from the conservative black few, and still managed to be the highest-grossing film of his career (so far). Frankly what we love about Tarantino is how he has a signature and one would "have to stand on a chair to kiss [my] ass." to dissuade him.
