As a huge spaghetti western fan, the violence in Tarantino's Django Unchained wasn't too far over the top. The old spaghetti westerns (including and outside of Leone's masterpieces) were all pretty bloody and sometimes gratuitously violent. I am a Tarantino fan and have loved all his work because I am familiar with all his genre inspirations: spaghetti westerns, blaxploitation films, Kung-fu, grindhouse cinema and old horror from America, UK, Japan and Italy. If you're not totally familiar with all the influences then you're not only missing references and "Easter eggs" but also the influences that shaped his writing, cinematography and directing.
Tarantino is a dude that I "get" and to me it feels like he is making movies for me.
Also, Tarantino has featured pipe smoking three movies in a row now.
