"Django Unchained"—Would Have Appealed Profoundly To The Late Adam Lanza

From my movie review [1] in Taki's Magazine:

Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained is, among much else during its leisurely 165-minute running time, an adolescent male revenge fantasy about an omnipotent mass shooter wreaking carnage upon dozens of victims. I suspect the film would have appealed profoundly to the late Adam Lanza.

You might think that this wouldn’t be the best time for a quasi-comic daydream/bloodbath about a deadeye gunman who always fires first and is immune to the thousands of bullets shot at him. But the recent unpleasantness in Sandy Hook has gone almost unmentioned in the critical hosannas [2]greeting Django…because, you see, the invulnerable hero is a black gunman shooting bad (i.e., Southern) white people.It’s not much more complicated than that.
