..comical approach to a serious issue durin' a horrible era in american history

reminiscent of "boss nigga" starring fred williamson ('75)

the cast was pretty solid, but i felt like a few people were wasted (namely kerry washington and jonah hill).

leo played that role to the fullest (and looked like he had fun with it)
christoph waltz gave a solid turn
samuel l. jackson gave such a convincing performance, you'd think he really was a house ni##a

foxx

jamie foxx was surprisingly funny, without tryin' to be funny. i actually think that's what makes his brand of comedy work.

the score worked with the flow of each scene and tarantino actually toned it down a bit in regards to his usual brand of gratuitous violence in film.

the ending was a bit cheesy, but certainly true to form.
