When people ask me about my favorite foreign films one of the movies at the top ( Probably number one after recently re watching) is called Suzuki: Western Django. Directed by Takashi Miike , starring Hideaki Itô, Kôichi Satô and Quentin Tarantino. If you don't know who they are watch more movies.
I won't go into detail about it, but its a stylized western about a lone wanderer who settles a timeless dispute between two warring gangs: The Whites who favor traditional martial arts and the Reds who focus more on combat from the old west. It's one of those movies that's full of buckets and buckets of all that traditional Japanese symbolism we all love about the passage of time and modernization, mixed with all your favorite kung-fu and gun fights. It's a great movie.
Thus my most anticipated film of 2012 is ...
DJANGO UNCHAINED
And if you wanna know why...
Starring Jamie Foxx in the title role as Django, Django Unchained follows this freed slave as he seeks to reunite with his slave wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington) on a journey that will see him team up with Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz), a German bounty hunter, to take down Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), an evil plantation owner.
Along with the names I've already mentioned, the cast also includes Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, M.C. Gainey, Don Johnson, Anthony LaPaglia, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, RZA, James Remar and Sacha Baron Cohen.
Becuase that's why!
