@deanduncan63Starting a Westerns class tonight. Saw #DjangoUnchained. Not a big spaghetti fan. Def. not a big QT fan. Surprise! Crass glibness turns …
… into a grave kind of facility. Showing off of yore here registers as operatic heightening. Violence? For 2 hrs I’m with him …
… The leads are on a quasi, nearly-Quijotic quest! It’s not too long, but it’s properly picaresque. Incident alternates w’ reflection …
… and tender conversation. (The leads!) Physical contests have a Homeric, Virgilian quality to them. Terrible, excessive …
… as is the heroic world view generally. Too bad about the last 40 minutes, then. From there cancel previous praises …
… Back to the status quo: dubious Death Wish homage & crypto-fascist excess. ah, well.
#DjangoUnchained. Australian bit is funny. Joke’s on him, of course. And to his credit. Not horrible to women, either.
