Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx & Christoph Waltz did an excellent job in bringing their characters to life. Tatentino found a way to bring the horrors of slavery to us that was not too overbearing but was striking and kept us focused on the story. I was not too pleased with the acting of Kerry Washington; any other decent actress could have done that character justuce and maybe more. Don Johnson was funny and memorable as Big Daddy. The best movie I've seen in 2012 is Django (the D is silent)!
