I'm glad I saw the movie before I read this today. Like Inglourious Basterds and unlike Pulp Fiction, this screenplay actually reads the way screenplays normally do. It's great, but isn't complete until it reaches the screen. Pulp Fiction, though an almost absurdly great movie, doesn't ever really rise above its screenplay, and its screenplay is, in itself, a near-perfect piece of writing. Django Unchained is a motherfucker of a movie, and just like Inglourious Basterds it is so intrinsically, necessarily cinematic that reading the screenplay is inevitably a lesser experience than watching it on screen. And that's not a bad thing.

Tarantino's personality oozes from this script. It marks the first time I've read a script before seeing the film. Curious to see how it all translates to the screen.
