    Tarantino knows how to make things pretty, knows how to write a great scene, knows how to get 100% out of his actors

That's half the case for the movie, the other half being the setting.

Setting falls under making things pretty. If you're familiar with the work of Sergio Leone, you'll recognize that QT has cribbed his style at pretty much every opportunity, and nowhere is that more true than in Django, given that it's a Western. Picking the place is one thing, but not everyone can make a beautiful place look beautiful on film.

That and his frat-boy David Lynch aesthetic.
