“Django Unchained” does for African-Americans what “Inglourious Basterds” did for Jews.

Quentin Tarantino’s latest film is a deliciously entertaining revenge fantasy set in the American South just a couple years before the Civil War. Jamie Foxx stars as the title character, a slave whose freedom is bought by a German bounty hunter. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) needs Django to ID some criminals whose day job is disciplining slaves. He’s a natural, so good with a gun Schultz offers him a partnership.
