Finally saw Inglorious N-word Django Unchained
Pretty much exactly the same reaction I had with Tarrantino's previous historical fiction revenge porn fantasy. Well put together movie and all, but in the end, so much of the emotional impact it's supposed to have relies on the, "F yeah! Those sons of bitches got what they deserved!" factor. And I can't help but be immediately crushed with the followon thought of, "Oh..wait...they totally DIDN'T get what they deserved. That's a bummer."
I'm sure for most people it's just a cathartic fantasy, and certainly I am on board with other impossible fantasies...but something about the historical certainty that, no, this did not happen just ruins it for me.
