| 520 | |a In this article, I show how the relationship between race, violence, and redemption is articulated and visualized through film. By juxtaposing DW Griffith's The Birth of a Nation and Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, I contend that the latter inverts the logic of the former.

As an immanent break within the rescue narrative, Tarantino's film works to rescue images and sounds of anguish from forgetful versions of history. | ||
