My review before was about Lincoln, a film about a president of U.S.A. who fought against slavery of black people. Now, I am reviewing a film with similar theme, slavery of black people, that is Django Unchained. Same theme, maybe., but absolutely different taste.
Two white people go through a forest riding their each horse. Behind them, some chained black people walk in one line. Django is one of them. He has terrible scars on his back, because of whip. Suddenly a horse-cart comes from opposite direction. That is a German gentleman who rides it. He then stops by. The German man looks for a slave who ever met Brittle Brothers then he asks every slaves there. Finally he is sure that Django is the one he looks for. He wants to buy Django but Django's master refuses to sell. Then in the blink of eyes the German man shoots Django's master. One of the two dies. So then the German man picks Django , and lets the other slaves free.

Lincoln has power on its main character,he is the title itself, Lincoln, the 16th president of U.S. of America. A charismatic leader,who's been a big part of U.S.A.'s history. He was the president who fighted against the discrimination to coloured people in U.S.A. then. At that time, even in liberal country like U.S.A. , coloured people were still in slavery. There were an act about coloured people that stated coloured people is no more than a property that may be sold for money. Since became a president ,Lincoln already made many efforts to end the slavery of coloured people. But, that took the bad consequence. Rebellion arised in south region because of rejection about the equality between white people and coloured people. Lincoln had the solution. He made the amendment 13 that abolish the act about slavery in U.S.A.. And the film focusing on the story how hard Lincoln's effort to make the amendment 13 accepted by the parlemen.
