Django Unchained is a 2012 film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino (his seventh film overall). While it's in the style of a Spaghetti Western (paying particular homage to the 1966 film Django) and has the thematic drive associated with the "revisionist" side of the genre, Tarantino calls it a "Southern" because it is set in the Deep South rather than The Wild West.The film tells the story of Django (Jamie Foxx), a slave who is freed by German bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) with the promise that, in return for Django's assistance in a few bounty recoveries, he will aid Django in finding and rescuing his wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington) from the sadistic plantation owner Calvin J. Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio). However, Calvin's head house slave and second-in-command Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson) has other plans.In 2014, a sequel was announced — a comic Crossover with Zorro, written by Tarantino and Matt Wagner, and "produced" by Reginald Hudlin. It is now officially being made into a film.

Self-Plagiarism
 Django Unchained / int_116f6f1c
comment
Self-Plagiarism: To Kill Bill: Stephen uses the phrase, "That will be the story of you," when detailing Django's ignominious end as a mining slave. This exchange is lifted from the scene where Bill warns the Bride against showing cheek to Pai Mei A morally-ambiguous protagonist kills a Retired Monster in front of their child, though here, the protagonist is extremely reluctant. In this film, near the climax, the protagonist severely wounds the lieutenant to the Big Bad, crippling them, announcing that everyone else can leave except that individual. The same thing happens when The Bride hacks up Sofie Fatale, lieutenant to Yakuza kingpin O-Ren Ishii. Stephen is last seen severely injured but alive and screaming abuse at Django, same as Elle after her fight with the Bride. They're both also left in very precarious situations and we don't see their bodies after the fight. While it's possible that Elle could have left the trailer without getting bitten by her own black mamba, it's highly unlikely 79-year-old Stephen could survive a load of dynamite exploding over his head. Both of them are Evil Counterparts of the protagonists: the Bride and Django (both on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge over a loved one and tutored by white-haired masters) fight more or less fairly, while Stephen and Elle (both very cozy with the enemy and using others to do their fighting) are incredibly Manipulative Bastards.

Fauxshadowing: Early in the film, when Django and Schultz ride into the first town they visit, the foreground of one shot conspicuously incorporates a noose through which Django's head cleanly passes, strongly suggesting that he will be hanged. In a way, he does end up hanging, but not quite that way.

Red Herring Twist
 Django Unchained / int_119e320e
comment
Red Herring Twist: In the scene where Candie is really, really insisting Schultz 'shakes his hand', his recently wounded and still-bandaged other hand is clearly in view, and it seems probable that Schultz is going to shake that hand. Hard. Schultz kills Candie instead. This might not be a deliberate Red Herring though, since that hand wound wasn't in the script, and Leonardo DiCaprio really cut his hand by accident during shooting — they just decided the scene worked better with the cut hand.

Cool Old Guy: Dr. King Schultz, a graying but undoubtedly badass German bounty hunter who, unlike just about every other white person in the film, sees black people as people and abhors slavery and racism. He frees Django from slavery, trains him in the ways of bounty hunting, and aids him in his journey to save his wife Broomhilda from Candieland.

 Django Unchained / int_18baa751

Historical Villain Downgrade: The film goes out of its way to portray pro-slave Southerners largely as incompetent idiots. One example is the scene with the proto-KKK Bag Heads, who spend more onscreen time arguing over their masks than attacking the heroes. This could be an homage to Blazing Saddles, where the racist villains were portrayed as morons instead of evil.

You Are Already Dead: Invoked with John Brittle and Mr. Candie due to their significance to the plot; despite other characters flat out exploding from gunshots, they both bleed mildly from a heart shot, and take a second to realize before keeling over and dying. Justified in that most of the gun kills in this movie come from revolvers and shotguns. Candie, Bill Sharp, and John Brittle are killed with the little hideaway derringer.

The Cameo
 Django Unchained / int_1b65dfad
comment
The Cameo: The original Django, Franco Nero, has a small role as Amerigo Vassepi, the owner of a slave engaged in mandingo fighting with Candie's slave. Jonah Hill is Bag Head Guy #2. Among Mr. Stonesipher's trackers, one may notice Tom Savini, Michael Bowen, Robert Carradine, Ted Neeley and Tarantino's favorite stuntwoman Zoë Bell (she's the one with the bandanna covering her mouth and chin, itself possibly another reference to the original Django). Russ and Amber Tamblyn appear briefly as a father and daughter who watch Django come into town riding a horse near the beginning of the film. They're appropriately billed as Son of a Gunfighter, and Daughter of a Son of a Gunfighter. Quentin Tarantino, as in all his films, plays one of the LeQuint Dickey Mining Company employees, and as Robert, one of the bag heads. Bruce Dern as a sadistic slave owner. Australians will get a kick out of seeing John Jarratt as a slave trader.

Villain Ball: Candie insisting that Schultz shake his hand just to rub his victory in. The decision to have Django enslaved once more and sent off to work at a mine, as opposed to just plain killing him. Every antagonist in the movie basically walks into Schultz and Django's guns for some reason. Maybe it's a homage to badly choreographed 70s Western flicks, or maybe not.

Hero's Journey: Django fights and kills to rescue an innocent loved one (his wife) from a harsh, unjust place. Even taking into account his necessary moments of brutality, this is the closest a Tarantino protagonist has ever come to a moral, old-fashioned hero. Schultz even lampshades this by drawing a parallel between Django and mythical hero Siegfried before undertaking their mission.

Cruel and Unusual Death: Almost all of them, actually. D'Artagnan, the slave ripped apart by dogs, probably takes the cake. At one point, the entire Candie estate are embroiled in a great debate about the most gruesome way they could kill Django; Stephen considers all of their suggestions unadventurous and dimwitted, though even he didn't mention Knee-capping.

Good Is Not Nice: Both Django and Schultz. Years of growing up on plantations have hardened Django to the point where he does not bat an eyelash at the inhumanities that the slaves suffer. Schultz, on the other hand, having grown up in Germany, is more emotional, since he lacks any experience in this aspect. That still doesn't deter him from taking out criminals in a coldblooded manner.

Chekhov's Gun: Schultz insists that Django keep the handbill for his first bounty since it's "good luck". Django later uses it to bargain for his escape, post-climax, with slave traders about to transport him to a Fate Worse than Death. The big bouncy tooth on top of Schultz's wagon is used to store dynamite, which is then used to blow up the proto-KKK members hunting down Schultz and Django.

As the Good Book Says...: "Big John" Brittle has torn pages from the Bible stitched to his clothing, including one resting over his heart (which Django shoots clean through). Brittle recites passages while preparing to whip one of Big Daddy's slaves over a matter of some broken eggs.

Anachronism Stew
 Django Unchained / int_259d5879

Anachronism Stew: Quite a lot for a story set in pre-Civil War America, but most of them are deliberate. And it's not as though proper spaghetti Westerns (or Westerns in general) are famous for their historical accuracy, anyway. While straws are a very old invention, the high-quality, plastic kind that Candie uses had not yet come into being. Sunglasses of the sort that Jamie Foxx and Bruce Dern's characters wear were not really produced until the late 1920s. Even then, they weren't fashion accessories. As is often the case in Westerns, many of the firearms and weapons used in the film did not yet exist during the movie's timeframe. Several of the lever-action rifles used by assorted people are Henry 1860s, which, you guessed it, were first made in 1860, right before the Civil War started. The Sharps 1874 Buffalo shotgun was not invented until... you guessed it: 1874! The Spencer 1860 Saddle Ring Carbide was not invented until shortly before the Civil War started. While the Cobra Big Bore derringer that Django and Schultz use didn't enter production until the 1980s, it's clearly a stand-in for a visually similar but much older Remington derringer that's a staple of the Western genre. But since that gun is the Remington Model 1866, that doesn't make it any less of an anachronism. A lot of Remington New Army revolvers seem to be in circulation despite only prototypes and pre-production samples existing in 1858 (full-scale production didn't start until 1861). And one of them even has a brass frame, a configuration that never existed until the late 20th-century Italian reproductions hit the market. Dynamite wasn't invented until 1867. The scantily-clad slave woman Sheba wears something that looks like it was made at least in the 1930s. Candie's harpist plays "Für Elise", but the piece wasn't published until 1867. Upon finding and identifying Django at the beginning of the film, Schultz exclaims "Sold American!" in celebration (complete in auctioneer tone), even though the phrase wasn't introduced (or at least made popular) until the 1930s, when it was used as a jingle/catchphrase for Lucky Strike cigarette ads. "Mandingo" didn't come into common usage until the novel Mandingo in 1957, and the movie that followed in 1975. The emblem of the Cleopatra Club where Django and King meet Candie for the first time is the famous Nefertiti Bust, and a reproduction is seen in the hallway. It was actually discovered in 1912. Both Schultz and everyone else refer to his home as "Germany", even though, at in the 1850s, Germany did not exist as one country yet. At one point he mentions Düsseldorf (it's part of a fake identity, but the hometown might be accurate), which would make him a Prussian national. However, as an academic and an expatriate, he might simply associate more with a pan-German identity than any particular statenote there was an attempt at such back then; see the YMMV page, or just be simplifying things for the sake of others. If he is Prussian, that might explain his relaxed attitude to violence and dislike of slavery: Prussia had already abolished the near-equivalent serfdom earlier that century, and later signed an international treaty to suppress the slave trade. It's also possible Schultz is a "Forty-Eighter", one of the many Germans who emigrated to the United States after the Revolutions of 1848 failed — mostly because they were supporters of the revolution and German unification who did not want to end up on the business end of the post-revolutionary purge. The Forty-Eighters were also known for anti-slavery views, and once naturalized were a major constituency for the radical wing of the Republican Party. Many fought in the American Civil War on the Union side. "Motherfucker" makes an appearance (naturally, from Samuel L. Jackson) about 31 years before its first recorded usage. "Show your ass" (in the sense of "being rude and disrespectful") is an idiom from the 2000s, not the 1850s. The type of metal-framed kerosene lamp (technically a tubular hot-blast lantern) liberally seen in the beginning of the film wasn't invented until 1867, patented in 1868, and their wicks are incorrectly set far too high in the movie. Perhaps that was to squeeze every last lumen out of them for filming. The later cold-blast lantern (1900) made twice the light. The area now known as Lubbock, Texas wasn't settled until 1890, and wasn't incorporated as an official town until 1909. There was a Lubbock County, Texas before the town of Lubbock existed, but even the county wasn't established until 1876.

Unfolding Plan Montage: Played with in the "raid" scene. At first, we first see a massive horde of Klan members pouring down the hill and circling around the cart to get Django. Cut back to the planning stage, where they complain about the plan and how they can't see through the eyeholes in the bags over their heads. Then cut back to the main scene, where the raid continues as planned.

Mythology Gag
 Django Unchained / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: There are a few nods to the original Django: The credits/theme song sequence in the original played while the main character was wearily dragging a coffin. In here, it plays over the main character wearily dragging himself along as a part of a slave procession. The mask-wearing racist southerners complaining about not seeing a thing are very similar to a group of villains in the original who wore bright red hoods over their faces. While they didn't complain, they certainly looked like they couldn't see much out of them. Both are deliberately evocative of the KKK, despite being set in a time before its existence, however. And of course, Franco Nero making a cameo in the Mandingo fight scene.

Funny Background Event: When Bettina asks Big Daddy if she should treat Django like a white man, Big Daddy gives her a serious Little "No". Beside him, however, Schultz gives her a big smiling nod and then scowls at Big Daddy's reply. When Schultz is putting a bullet in the Daughtrey sheriff's head, look behind him and you will see a) one woman on a single crutch desperately hobbling away as fast as she can, while b) another woman just faints on the spot. Look carefully at the crowd behind Marshal Tatum in the very next scene, pointing rifles at the tavern — even the townswomen are in on it. As Django is just about to start killing the Brittle Brothers, a tall, dusty, framed mirror to the right of the tree where Lil' Jodie is tied that happens to catch his reflection. It's quite reminiscent of the famous painting The Blue Boy by Thomas Gainsborough. Again, right before Django shoots his first Brittle brother, while he's walking toward his target, you can see a slave in the background joyously swinging on a swing like a carefree schoolgirl.

Spiritual Successor: It has often been said to be so to Quentin Tarantino and Christoph Waltz's earlier film Inglorious Basterds. It could be seen as one to Blazing Saddles in a way as well. Both are satirical Anvilicious movies which show racists as being morons. Where Blazing Saddles was an allegory to the Civil Rights movement at that time, Django could be seen as a stark reminder of the horrible culture so many are trying to preserve as “Heritage. Not Hate.�

Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil: Mentioned when Django is talking about posing as a black slaver in the pre-Civil War South. He mentions a black slaver being considered "lower than the head house nigger, and that's pretty fuckin' low!" amongst the slave population. And Django should know: he executes Calvin Candie's smarmy head house slave without remorse.

Break the Haughty: A rare heroic example; Schultz carries himself with utterly self-assured superiority over the thugs and cutthroats he deals with, and while he finds slavery and its practitioners morally abhorrent, he reacts to it with mostly jokes and arrogance. It's not until he sees the horrors committed on Calvin Candie's estate, combined with Calvin's victory over him, that his wall of ironic distance is broken down.

Ambiguously Jewish: Dr. King Schultz is a German immigrant in the mid-19th century, when the first Jews came to America from Germany, with the stereotypically Jewish profession of dentist. He clearly has a strong German identity due to his fascination with German folklore, but Jews were much more assimilated in Germany than any other European country (prior to Hitler, of course), and most Jews viewed themselves as wholly German at the time. The surname Schultz, like many German names, is common among Ashkenazi Jews.

Southern Gentleman: Being set during the Antebellum South, the film features two particularly vicious deconstructions: Spencer "Big Daddy" Bennett and Calvin J. Candie. Both are plantation owners and slavers, and Deliberate Values Dissonance is in full effect with their monstrously brutal treatment of slaves. Big Daddy is seen having young girls whipped for accidentally breaking eggs, and heads a gang of proto-Klansmen. Candie manages to be even worse: his hobbies include the study of the racist pseudo-science phrenology and forcing his slaves to fight each other to the death in “mandingo� fights for his amusement. We also see him having slaves unwilling to fight torn apart by hungry dogs.

It Will Never Catch On: The Regulators who decide to teach Schultz and Django a lesson are a disorganized mob who happen to get the idea to wear white hoods with eyeholes cut out. It's roundly considered that while it was a decent idea, they hadn't really thought it through... but there's a throwaway line that next time they do this, they'll put some effort into getting the hoods right and go "full regalia".

Even Evil Has Standards

comment
Even Evil Has Standards: Schultz is morally gray at worst, so "evil" is severely pushing it here, but he's quite frank that he earns his living by murdering people, often quite ruthlessly, and more or less forces Django to shoot a man in front of the man's young son. However, when he meets Candie and is forced to witness D'Artagnan being torn apart by dogs, even he is sickened. Lara harshly reproaches Calvin when he excitedly shows off Broomhilda's scars at dinnertime. Whether this is because she disapproves of the barbarity of it or simply finds it aesthetically disgusting is left ambiguous for the viewer. The proto-Klansman who leaves the group because he can't stand the others ragging on his wife's inability to cut proper eyeholes in their masks. It's subtle, but when we get close-up shots on character reactions to the 'Mandingo fight' in the Cleopatra club, Candie's henchman Butch Pooch looks rather unamused and even a little sad. Certainly he's not whooping and hollering like Candie and Moguy.

Hollywood Law

Hollywood Law: This film seems to operate on the notion that local judges could write warrants that gave bounty hunters like Schultz nationwide jurisdiction to track down criminals anywhere and murder them on sight. Even back in the 1850s, this was not the case. Openly holding fights to the death between slaves would also have been illegal. Enslaved people were not legally citizens, nor were they considered equal to white people, but even in the pre-war South, it was illegal to force them to kill each other, or outright murder them. That's certainly not to say that black people weren't frequently abused and murdered, just that it was, technically, illegal. Whether their abusers were ever caught or punished is a separate issue.

Overdrawn at the Blood Bank: The Candieland massacre is one of the bloodiest gunfights you'll ever find on screen, as upwards of 20 people are killed in the foyer and the adjoining rooms of the plantation. By the end, not only is the floor littered with bullet-riddled corpses, but during the gunfight, we have people who get shot many times past the point of death who survive, and the walls look like someone splashed a big bucket of blood all over them.

Trailers Always Lie: The commercials make it out to be a Western with almost nonstop action, with a heavy emphasis on bounty hunting, and set up Candie to be some sort of mastermind (as well as implying, by juxtaposition, that he's one of the Brittle brothers, when they're only Starter Villains). In the film, the action is only in a few parts (as is common with Tarantino's films), Candie isn't introduced until just over halfway through the film and isn't especially intelligentnote he doesn't figure out Schultz and Django's plan until his butler tells him, and the duo are only shown taking down a couple of relevant bounty targets — the majority of their work is done off-screen.

Batman Gambit
 Django Unchained / int_38d02d44
comment
Batman Gambit: Schultz repeatedly gains access to slavers' estates by taking advantage of their Southern hospitality once he dangles a lucrative slave-purchasing deal in front of them, knowing they'll treat him as a guest once he's a potential business partner. Schultz relies on the US marshal in Daugherty being level-headed enough to hear out his claim at being a legal bounty hunter and not simply gun him down the moment he sticks his head out of the saloon. He takes the time to make sure that the marshal will give them a "trial" and not just shoot them. Schultz takes Django into a saloon, knowing full well the innkeeper will run out screaming for help at the sight of Django in a place where blacks are not tolerated. Schultz then calls after him, telling him to specifically bring the sheriff, not the marshal. Schultz and Django carry out a very clever one against Candie. Knowing that if they directly buy Broomhilda from Candie he'll charge them an enormous amount, they trick him by offering $12,000 (which comes out to about $315,000 in today's money) for a third-tier slave fighter (Eskimo Joe) in order to get to Candie's plantation and meet Broomhilda, buy her for a few hundred dollars, and leave, under the pretense of returning with the promised money, a doctor, and a lawyer, never to be seen again. Although, at least according to Word of God, this was an entirely unnecessary gambit based on incomplete information and Complexity Addiction. Candie didn't give enough of a damn about Broomhilda to care who bought her and why, and would've let her go for a reasonable sum, making this a subversion.

Don Johnson's Big Daddy wears all-white, a reference to his Miami Vice character's trademark white Armani suit. David Steen plays Mr. Stonesipher, Candie's dog handler. The last time Steen worked with Quentin Tarantino, in Reservoir Dogs, he played a dog-handling cop. Calvin's sister at one point asks Schultz if he can tell her a story from "the circus". Christoph Waltz previously played a mental circus director in Water for Elephants. This isn't the first time Jamie Foxx and Kerry Washington played a married couple. When Dr. King makes a reference to Alexandre Dumas, Calvin's actor, Leonardo DiCaprio's double role as Philippe Bourbon/King Louis XIV comes to minds.

Face Death with Dignity
 Django Unchained / int_396e1c2a
comment
Face Death with Dignity: Stephen is clearly prepared to be an archetypal case of this; he dramatically drops his walking stick and strolls calmly and proudly towards Django as he waits to be shot. Fortunately, Django has no intention of letting him die that way, and ensures that he actually dies kneecapped and screaming semi-coherent curses. Schultz does this after shooting Calvin, posing dramatically and even throwing out a Post-Mortem One-Liner before getting shot.

Damsel in Distress
 Django Unchained / int_4160410d

Damsel in Distress: Oddly for a Tarantino film, this trope is played completely straight in the form of Broomhilda. She exists entirely as a plot device, receiving very little characterization aside from being Django's wife, having a tendency to attempt to escape, and being able to speak German. (Kerry Washington says she took the role specifically because African-American actresses are rarely offered this type of part — after all, in Hollywood, when the plot is driven by a woman being in danger, it's usually a pretty white woman or young girl.)

Cold-Blooded Torture: Aside from the whippings both Django and Broomhilda suffer, Broomhilda is first introduced for real by having been put in the "hot box", a metal enclosure in the ground exposed to the humid Southern heat, naked, as punishment for trying to escape Candieland. There's also what Billy Crash tries to do to Django's privates after he is forced to give himself up to save Broomhilda following the first Candieland shootout.

During the Candieland massacre, one of the thugs entering through the main door is hurt in his eye by splinters of the nearby wall that's been shot at by Django.

comment
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: When their plan to rescue Broomhilda... well, goes south, Candie pretty much tells Django and Schultz that if they had just been honest in the first place, he probably would have given her to them for practically nothing. Sure, Candie and Stephen would still be kicking and Candieland would still be in operation, but at least Django and Broomhilda would be together again and Schultz would still be alive. Sadly, Schultz had to come up with a needlessly complicated plan that ends up getting him killed and Django nearly sold back into slavery.

Gory Discretion Shot: Despite the above, some female deaths contain a surprising lack of gore, despite this being a Tarantino flick. Whilst some characters instead get Blown Across the Room, Big Daddy surprisingly gets this, in that you only see his horse being splattered with blood before he falls instead of chunky salsa. When Candie has a slave ripped to shreds by dogs, we only see him thrashing around from a distance before it cuts to a Reaction Shot of the shocked Dr. Schultz.

Shortly after, when Django massacres the trackers, one of the trackers gets out of the bath, only to have his genitals shot off.

comment
Working on the Chain Gang: After Django is captured following Schultz killing Calvin and dying himself, Stephen explains to Django that for the past several hours, all the white people on the plantation have been thinking up various torturous ways to kill him (normally involving castration). Throughout the process, Stephen kept saying that each method of execution was far too quick and painless for what Django deserved, mentioning that the slaves they sold to the LeQuint Dickey Mining Company suffered much harsher fates. Eventually, Calvin's sister got the message, and decided "as if out of nowhere" to sell him to LeQuint Dickey, where he would spend the rest of his days breaking down rocks with no rest until his body gave out, after which they would finally kill him.

Place Worse Than Death: Stephen sends Django to be imprisoned at the LeQuint Dickey Mining Company, a place where all slaves are given a number and a sledgehammer and told to "break big rocks into small rocks" until their backs give out, at which point their heads are bashed in with a hammer and their body is thrown into a hole with other slave corpses. If they object or otherwise give the overseers "sass", they cut out their tongue, in such a way that they don't bleed out. Django escapes before he gets anywhere near a mine, though.

After he approaches and shoots him, Django says, "I like the way you die, boy." Schultz asks Django if he is positive that he can identify Ellis Brittle, explaining that "positive" means "sure"; Django answers in the affirmative. After Schultz shoots Ellis, Django says, "I'm positive he dead!"

Book Dumb: Justified, given the time period. Django starts off the film as well-educated as you'd expect the typical 19th-century slave to be; illiterate, with a limited lexical range of understanding which makes him appear daft when he needs things repeated a few times before he fully grasps them because he's unfamiliar with the terms used. Under Schultz' influence and tutelage, though, he manages to master not only reading, but bounty hunting and expert marksmanship in less than a year, which allows him to develop himself into a ruthlessly competent and cunning gunslinging phenom.

Artistic License – History
 Django Unchained / int_56515a39
comment
Artistic License – History: People in the antebellum South likely would not have been surprised to see a black man on a horse, as slaves were often ordered to exercise their masters' horses and the sight of them riding around the area would not have been unusual. The opening of the movie states: "1858: Two years before the Civil War". In reality, the American Civil War started in 1861. Or, since the movie probably exists in the same world as Inglorious Basterds, it might be a case of Alternate History. The price for slaves goes all across the board. The average price for a slave in 1860 was $800. Calvin bought D'Artagnan for almost half of this, at $500, while he is prepared to sell Eskimo Joe for $12,000 (although this is explicitly stated to be a ridiculous price). While slaves did fight other slaves for their masters (the history of the Battle Royal in boxing in particular is enlightening reading), there are no recorded instances of slaves fighting to the death in "mandingo" fashion. (Nor would they be likely to, as slaves were such an expensive luxury commodity that these fights would be the economic equivalent of crashing two Ferraris together for fun — the average price of a slave in 1860, as mentioned above, was $800, which would be the equivalent of $25-26 thousand today.). Despite what the movie shows, you were most certainly not allowed to immediately assassinate people wanted by the law in the Old West, except for the absolute most dangerous, lethal criminals, i.e. the kind of outlaw who massacred an entire town and defiled the church with the victims' entrails. Even then, MAYBE you could instantly gun him down without being arrested yourself. Every bounty killing shown in this movie, of men who were despicable bastards but not an immediate threat to anyone, would have certainly resulted in a murder charge and not a cent of reward. Not to mention, for a "dead or alive" bounty, the dead reward was usually a fraction of the prize: they wanted the criminals alive to stand trial. As clever and resourceful as Schultz is shown to be, certainly he would find a way to take them down non-lethally. However, this wouldn't be keeping with the Blaxploitation aspects of the movie.

Beautiful Slave Girl: Several appear throughout the movie; Candie owns at least three. Sheba is made to wear alluring attire, and is apparently something of a consort to Candie. She seems pretty happy with her role, at least outwardly. Broomhilda, on the other hand, is openly made available to Candie's visitors to show his "hospitality", and is traumatized by it. He also owns a slave who's forced to wear a French Maid Outfit.

Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Prior to the events of the film, Django and Broomhilda unsuccessfully attempted to run away from their owner together. While Broomhilda was being prepared for "stripping" (whipping), Django frantically pleaded with overseer Big John, trying to convince him to spare Broomhilda because she was a house slave. Big John had no intention of letting Broomhilda go, but he smilingly watched Django fall to his knees anyway.

Spanner in the Works: While the main reason the entire plan falls apart is Stephen, his attention was drawn to the situation by a completely innocent jest by Lara, who didn't realise the significance of what she had noticed. It's possible that had she not made the joke, everything would have gone off without a hitch.

 Django Unchained / int_605eab47
comment
The Villain Must Be Punished: Calvin Candie is apparently willing to sell Broomhilda to Schultz and Django... except that he insists that Schultz, who is utterly disgusted by his brutality and racism, shake his hand on the deal. Schultz shoots him dead, leading to Django and Broomhilda nearly getting killed and the eventual mass murder by Django of all Candie's surviving relatives and employees, plus Stephen. According to Word of God, Calvin genuinely wasn't planning any further treachery, and would have allowed Django, Schultz, and Brunhilde to leave peacefully.

We Have Reserves: In the Candieland massacre scene, the white plantation henchmen seem to have no compunctions about blasting bullets through their own men (or the house staff, for that matter) trying to shoot at Django. Also when Django kills at least two dozen of them, even more arrive which leads to his surrender.

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Candie towards his sister Lara Lee. Maybe a little too much... One of the bounty targets is a man who gets shot right in front of his son. One of the proto-KKK members is quite upset when his gang criticizes the masks that his wife made, and he rides off in a huff. Stephen seems to love Calvin like a son, which between any other two people would be heartwarming. His distraught reaction to Calvin's death is almost sympathetic.

Cool, but Impractical: Spencer Bennett's and his posse's Klan-esque white hoods. Sure, they're meant to look scary, but Willard's wife did such a terrible job cutting out the eyeholes, it obscures everyone's vision. That makes them more easily taken out by Schultz and Django: they are unable to notice that the "bodies" they're trying to kill are actually bedrolls until "Auf wiedersehn".

Overcrank: Really overused in the Candieland massacre shootout. After Candie is shot, we see Stephen scream "NOOOOO!! CALVIN!" and hurry to Candie's side, with the slo-mo making it obvious he's probably bolting past Schultz. Butch Pooch turning around is also done in slo-mo, and when he shoots Schultz with his shotgun and Schultz is blasted into the bookcase, we are in super slo-mo, and then we suddenly ramp back up to real time as, within merely three real-time seconds of Schultz getting shot, Django grabs Butch's revolver and shoots him. Various points in the foyer part of the gunfight are overcranked up to eleven.

Meaningful Echo: When saying farewell to Candie, Schultz refuses to use the traditional German farewell of "auf Wiedersehen", because it implies they will meet again. Instead, he says "goodbye", as he does not want to meet Candie ever again. After escaping a slave convoy and returning to Candieland, Django pays his last respects to Schultz's body with "auf Wiedersehen", and tells the maids to say "goodbye" to Lara.

Casting Gag: Franco Nero, who plays the mandingo fighter owner Amerigo Vassepi in the film, also played the title character in the 1966 spaghetti Western Django, from which Tarantino adapted the title of this film. Russ Tamblyn, who starred in Son of a Gunfighter in 1965 and plays one of the locals of Daughtrey who reacts in shock to the sight of a black man on a horse, is credited as Son of a Gunfighter. And Amber Tamblyn, his daughter, is credited as Daughter of a Son of a Gunfighter.

If You're So Evil, Eat This Kitten!
 Django Unchained / int_74b85afd
comment
If You're So Evil, Eat This Kitten!: A morally gray example, early in the film. Django and Schultz's target is a (possibly former) stagecoach robber... and a family man. Schultz wants Django to kill him while he's plowing the field with his son, and Django hesitates. Schultz chides Django, who was completely willing to kill people up until now (quoting his iconic 'kill white folk' line at him back), and reminds him that bounty hunting requires a clear head and a gray conscience. Django takes the shot with guilt. Candie is distrustful of Django's story as a callous slaver and mandingo expert, and so has a runaway slave torn apart by dogs so that Candie can watch him closely and see if he betrays any sympathy.

N-Word Privileges: In spades, from both black and white characters, as would be realistic for the time period. The only character who seems even a little bit squeamish about the word is Schultz, until he starts acting the part of a slave trader, and primarily uses it to ingratiate himself with slave traders and plantation owners. A couple of other slurs of the period, such as "jimmie", "garboon", and "pickaninny", also get used. Leonardo DiCaprio actually stopped during a scene because he was having "a difficult time" using so many racial slurs. Samuel L. Jackson then pulled him aside and told him, "Motherfucker, this is just another Tuesday for us."

Handshake Refusal: Just when everything seems to be wrapped up, bloodlessly if not ideally, Schultz's inability to bring himself to shake Candie's hand ruins everything.

Boomerang Bigot: Stephen is as racist as his white entourage, if not more so. He especially hates free black people like Django. Especially when it's heavily implied Stephen is the real power in charge of Candieland, content in manipulating Candie's riches for his own gain, which makes Stephen calling Django uppity in the end quite ironic. This is also Django's cover ID for infiltrating the Candie estate: he's a black slaver.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Candie gives what he thinks is a scientific one to Django when he finds out he's there to save Broomhilda, using phrenology to 'prove' that European people are more creative and independent than Africans, whom he says are more close-minded and submissive. Schultz, in turn, gives one to Candie, calling out the shallowness of Candie's faux-Francophilia, and his hypocrisy, by pointing out that Alexandre Dumas was black, something a real Francophile would have already known.

Politically Correct History
 Django Unchained / int_7e74d66f
comment
Politically Correct History: Averted to the point that it verges on parody. The 'nigger on a horse' gag as Django and Schultz ride into Daughtrey is clearly an homage to the 'welcoming the sheriff' scene in Blazing Saddles — right down to the porch-front reaction-shots.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!
 Django Unchained / int_7fbb2a3
comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Candie's all set to release Broomhilda; they're nearly home free. However, Schultz must first shake Candie's hand, due to something of a legal technicality (in truth, it's bullshit; contracts have never required handshakes — although Calvin could probably find a nearby judge with a sympathetic ear). If he doesn't, Calvin would be well within his rights to call the deal cancelled (again, not really, but what Candie probably means is that, if Schultz didn't shake his hand, he'd just kill him and Django) and to have Broomhilda shot. As easy as it would have been to pull off, Schultz hates Candie enough that he just can't bring himself to do it, and shoots Candie in the heart.

Reality Is Unrealistic
 Django Unchained / int_85557b38
comment
Reality Is Unrealistic: A lot of people complained that the movie used the N-word too much. However, the N-word was one of the only words used to refer to black people in the 1850s; even they commonly used it to refer to themselves. People also complained about the way the slaves were tortured. According to Quentin Tarantino, most of the torture in the movie is based on real things that were done to slaves. The obscene amount of gore in most kills can be seen as over-the-top compared to most films where gunshots leave little more than a trickle. This is justified in that the film takes place in the 1800s, where guns were nowhere near as powerful or accurate as they are today. Back then, the best way to ensure a target was hit was to maximize the spray, and a slower-moving bullet is far more likely to hit a bone and push it out the back of a person's body than to simply go through the bone.

Black-and-Gray Morality
 Django Unchained / int_8767b1f3
comment
Black-and-Gray Morality: As is typical for Quentin Tarantino's films. The villains are racists and murderers, but the heroes are murdering bounty hunters willing to make a number of morally ambiguous decisions for their own ends. Django himself doesn't really seem too concerned about the plight of other slaves; he is only interested in saving Brunhilda, and, despite his reluctance, is even willing to play the role of a slave trader, though it's thankfully just an act. Even Dr. Schultz, the most heroic and moral character in the film, has no problem killing people for money, and later coerces a conflicted Django into shooting a father in front of his own son.

Category Traitor: Django while pretending to be a black slaver. He discusses the trope with Schultz, saying that a black slaver is the lowest of the low, and Schultz suggests that if that's the characterisation that works, that's how he should play it — though he later gets concerned that Django may be taking the act too far. Stephen is the brains behind Candie's slave empire. He also takes an instant disliking to Django for being "uppity" and works to sabotage his attempt to reconnect with his wife purely out of spite. Samuel L. Jackson is on record as saying he wanted to play Stephen as "the most hated negro in the history of film".

The original script and the comic adaptation have Schultz describe the market as "a scene out of Dante", to which Django, who has had first-hand experience with such markets, says, "You should see it from the other side."

Rule of Symbolism: White people, white cotton, a white horse, white cake, and a white plantation mansion being coated red with blood. Hildi's introduction in the main story; she's pulled out of the ground, in a fetal position, soaked with sweat, and when water is dumped on her, she starts screaming. Pretty much looks like she's being born. This is also a nod to the Germanic legend of her namesake, Brunhilde, who was trapped inside a ring of fire until Siegfried rescued her; the "ring of fire" in this case being the hot box.

Faux Affably Evil
 Django Unchained / int_95b7c400
comment
Faux Affably Evil: Calvin Candie plays a jolly, genial sadist who treats the slaves who are currently in his favor with politeness (if you ignore the inherent cruelty of slave ownership, and the fact that he's introduced watching slaves fight each other to the death, encouraging them to kill and maim their opponents) and is nowhere as disgusting as previous bounty targets, but when finally provoked, the jolly and genial part goes right out the window in a hurry. Just to remind us that he's the villain, he casually lets a slave who attempted to run away get torn apart by dogs. Stephen play-acts as a curmudgeonly but affable house slave, but as soon as he's in private, he turns into a calculating Bond villain. Big Daddy is initially rude to Schultz...until he hears that money is up for grabs, at which point he is indulgent, welcoming, and a generous host. Similarly, perhaps because he is in a good mood due to the probability of imminent financial gain, he is, if not respectful, then at least pleasant with Betina when he gives her instructions about how to treat Django...but then we learn that he ordered a slave whipped for breaking eggs. And then when the Brittle Brothers are killed, he tries to have Django and Schultz killed by his band of proto-KKK Regulators.

Aristocrats Are Evil
 Django Unchained / int_96144372
comment
Aristocrats Are Evil: Played with. Wealthy Southern slaveholders like Big Daddy and Calvin Candie like to think of themselves as sophisticated and intellectual aristocrats and style themselves after what they presume to be their European counterparts. However, they are, in reality, nothing more than barbaric thugs who engage in violence, slavery (including sex slavery), bloodsports, and now-discredited pseudo-sciences (although at the time, phrenology really was viewed as valid by many, but not by actual scientists). Actual aristocratic Enlightenment figures they superficially admire such as Alexandre Dumasnote Dumas in particular was quarter-Black through his Haitian slave grandmother, and was notoriously anti-slavery and anti-racist and Ludwig van Beethovennote once thought to have African heritage, though it is disputed by scholars; in any case, given that he sympathised with the values of the French Revolution and liberté, égalité, fraternité, it's unlikely he approved of slavery would abhor them on principle.

Evil Counterpart
 Django Unchained / int_9b54d536
comment
Stephen is last seen severely injured but alive and screaming abuse at Django, same as Elle after her fight with the Bride. They're both also left in very precarious situations and we don't see their bodies after the fight. While it's possible that Elle could have left the trailer without getting bitten by her own black mamba, it's highly unlikely 79-year-old Stephen could survive a load of dynamite exploding over his head. Both of them are Evil Counterparts of the protagonists: the Bride and Django (both on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge over a loved one and tutored by white-haired masters) fight more or less fairly, while Stephen and Elle (both very cozy with the enemy and using others to do their fighting) are incredibly Manipulative Bastards.

Foreshadowing: Schultz complaining to Django that he doesn't want to die in a redneck part of America. Also, his preceding speech becomes a lot more meaningful when he thoroughly disregards his own advice: Schultz explaining to Candie that "auf wiedersehen" means that they'll meet again, and "goodbye" means he never wants to see him again. Schultz describing the legend of Siegfried in terms of three challenges that must be overcome to claim Broomhilda. Siegfried climbed a mountain (Django infiltrates Candieland), then slew The Dragon (Django kills Crash and slaughters Candie's posse), and finally walked through hellfire (Django ambles through the burning rubble of the estate) Django telling Schultz that a black slaver is the lowest kind of black person there is. The second-lowest? The head house slave. Schultz compares their plan, offering to buy a fighting slave to get Broomhilda in the bargain, to getting a horse from a farmer by "buying the farm." Schultz later, as the saying goes, "buys the farm." Stephen complains about having to burn everything in Django's room when he leaves. He gets his wish.

Badass in a Nice Suit: Django and Dr. Schultz. Although it takes a while for Django to step his suit game up, as his initial choice is an incredibly goofy and out-of-place frilly thing that even the uneducated slaves think is terrible. The powder blue costume was made by the costume designer as a reference to the famous Blue Boy painting by Gainsborough — the symbol of everything Little Lord Fauntleroy (i. e. an innocent poor boy benevolently uplifted to high society), and also approximately 80 years in the past for characters in the film. It was so impractical that the costume designer had to take out/in various parts of it for different motions, such as riding a horse or running.

The proto-KKK raiding party assaulting Schultz and Django get hung up for way too long on how bad their masks are, and most of Candie's trackers and the phony sheriff are mush-mouthed scum-of-the-earth.

Eye Scream
 Django Unchained / int_a2b38d3b
comment
Eye Scream: The winner of the Mandingo fight gouges out the loser's eyes. Complete with squishy sounds and screaming. Then kills him by striking him with the blunt part of a hammer. During the Candieland massacre, one of the thugs entering through the main door is hurt in his eye by splinters of the nearby wall that's been shot at by Django. Downplayed, especially compared to the Mandingo fight, as the harm is neither direct nor entirely deliberate, and we don't see too much of the wound.

Nice to the Waiter: Schultz to pretty much every slave he comes across. One such occurrence, when he first encounters Django, serves as his Establishing Character Moment. Candie coddles the slaves who serve him well, such as Stephen, the winning mandingo fighters, and his fetishized female slaves. It serves to highlight his ruthlessness when a slave falls into his disfavor.

"Facing the Bullets" One-Liner: Having lost all his dignity and money surrendering to Candie, Dr. Schultz is requested to shake Candie's hand like a partner lest the deal be cancelled. Schultz instead opts to kill Candie, and uses his last moments to shrug and comment, "I'm sorry, I couldn't resist."

Blown Across the Room
 Django Unchained / int_a4916876
comment
Blown Across the Room: Mostly averted, but played straight in a couple instances, such as when Butch Pooch shoots Schultz with a sawed-off shotgun and Schultz's body is thrown backwards into a bookshelf. A very weird example happens with the "Bye, Miss Lara!" scene, when Django shoots Lara and she is thrown backwards at a completely different angle than she was shot from, resulting in her getting yanked into the next room Paranormal Activity-style (so it'd be more like "Blown Out of the Room".) That, of course, is a reference to the Spaghetti Western genre of old, on which this movie is based. Deaths of women were usually less gory or not entirely shown.

Happiness in Slavery

Happiness in Slavery: Stephen, Candie's head house slave, is fiercely devoted to serving him. This is partly due to loyalty, and partly because Stephen is in a very high position of power in Candie's service. Sheba also seems perfectly happy with essentially being a sex slave. So does Cora, though it's mostly out of fear.

Alternate History

Alternate History: On top of the Anachronism Stew listed below, Django's stunt towards the end where he kills dozens of an aristocrat Southern slave owner's men and blows up his plantation would definitely have warranted a mention in history books and had a huge historical impact. That's a similar (white) death toll to Nat Turner's rebellion (which definitely did send shocks), except mostly by one man. The opening of the film alludes to this by implying the American Civil War started a year early in this universe.

Sub-Par Supremacist: The Regulators are a proto-KKK of breathtaking incompetence, trying to ride horses in masks with eyeholes that don't fit, arguing whether or not to wear the masks, and ending up blundering straight into a trap set by the heroes. Calvin Candie is a slave owner with delusions of culture, such as naming his slaves after characters in The Three Musketeers, but is incapable of speaking French and unaware that the author was black (by the standards of the time, as Alexandre Dumas' grandmother was black). It's made very clear that the real brains of the outfit is Stephen, the head house slave.

Chekhov's Skill: Early in the film, Broomhilda is revealed to be able to speak German. Schultz uses this as a plausible excuse to buy her from Candie, stating that he would like to have a fellow person to converse with in his native language. He also tells Broomhilda about his and Django's plan to free her in German, since nobody in the Candie mansion would be able to understand German. This also also overlaps with Hiding Behind the Language Barrier; see below.

Fate Worse than Death: Technically, "Fate Worse than Getting Your Balls Chopped Off and Then Death": Stephen explains Django's punishment in this way. Instead of just castrating him and then torturing him to death (as many of the others want to do to him), Stephen suggests that they sell him to the LeQuint Dickey Mining Company, where he will do backbreaking mining work until his back gives out — at which point they'll bludgeon him with a sledgehammer and throw his body down the "nigger hole".

Too Dumb to Live
 Django Unchained / int_b58b4e3c
comment
Too Dumb to Live: Late in the movie, Candie discovers the true identities and intentions of Django and Schultz, but gives them a chance to walk away with Django's wife, essentially giving them everything they want. Rather then take advantage of this golden opportunity, Schultz completely blows it by shooting Candie, starting a shootout that gets himself killed and nearly gets Django killed as well. Even if Schultz really wanted to kill Candie, this still makes no sense. He could have simply walked away and then returned later to kill him at a more opportune time when he wasn't in the middle of Candie's mansion surrounded by armed guards. It seems he just couldn't hold in his anger at Candie any longer. The LeQuint-Dickey Mining Company slave transporters are easily taken in by Django's story about a bounty. Then they untie him, a man who has just sold them on his skill at killing people, and just hand him a revolver. [Bang, bang, boom!] Also, Miss Lara. You'd think she might have used the opportunity while Django was carrying out his bloody revenge on Billy Crash to run away. Although it's quite likely that Django would still have an opportunity to shoot her anyway, she makes no attempt at all to ensure her own safety, though she was likely petrified just seeing what Django had already done to the remaining plantation henchmen.

Smash Cut: When Schultz and Django enter the Daughtrey saloon, the saloonkeeper looks at Django and says "What the hell do you think you're doing boy? Get that nigger out of here!" The scene cuts to Pete careening out of his establishment, screaming for help. Schultz follows him out and says "Innkeeper! Remember, get the sheriff, not the marshal!" Just what Schultz did to make sure this happened is never made clear. When the proto-KKK ride down the hill a la Birth of a Nation, they appear set on a direct immediate ambush on the wagon... only for it to cut to them standing around and discussing the pragmatics of their hoods and a speech about the pragmatics of killing.

Improbable Aiming Skills: Django, oh so very much. He can hit exactly what he intends to hit, at any range, with great precision. If he wants you kneecapped, your knees will be gone before you know what hit you. Lampshaded:

Incest Subtext: A bit between Calvin and his sister. He gushes on and on about her beauty, and often kisses her on the cheeknote which, given his Francophilia, isn't all that remarkable whenever he can (even on the lips at one point). A man of Calvin's age and social status at the time and period would usually be long married by this point, making it even more suspicious. Throughout his on-screen time, out of anyone, he shows the most affection to her by far.

 Django Unchained / int_beb9a361
comment
Anti-Hero: Schultz is by far the nicest character in the movie. Although his Germanic origins mean that he already doesn't share the same attitudes towards black people and slavery as the denizens of the South, it's still telling how far he's willing to go to help Django rescue his wife. However, when it comes to bounty hunting, Schultz is willing to grievously injure and kill every last one of his marks rather than capture them alive. He has no qualms against shooting a man in cold blood, even in front of his own son. In fact, he coerces Django into shooting the kid's father in the first place.The bounties are "dead or alive", but the payout's the same either way, and a corpse is a lot easier to bring in (can't try to run away and doesn't have to be fed). Django is sympathetic, but some of his feelings and actions are not nice. Being a former slave, his vengeful attitude towards white Southerners is perfectly understandable and generally justified by their despicable actions. Although Django's desire to reunite with his wife is admirable, the way he goes about fulfilling his goal is very morally questionable: he lets another slave die when saving the poor soul would have compromised his attempts at rescuing his wife, though it's clear he's disgusted with having to do so and later murders the slavers who were present while shouting the name of the slave he had to let die. Furthermore, while Schultz sees his profession as a profitable but necessary evil, Django uses it as an outlet for revenge. However, even then, he feels morally uncomfortable murdering a "wanted" white man in front of his young son, and has to be heavily persuaded by Schultz in order to do so.

Shout-Out
 Django Unchained / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Plenty, given that it's a Tarantino movie. For instance, Schultz lies about having a lawyer by the name of "Tuttle", which is the name of Hawkeye's similarly fictional associate in M*A*S*H. Schultz's former career as a travelling dentist is likely a reference to Edgar "Painless" Parker, a real-life travelling dentist/sideshow act who travelled in a similar wagon. An especially pointed one to The Birth of a Nation. The scene in which the proto-KKK riders charge in to the music from Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" is lifted directly from the former movie, where it's the Klan's Big Damn Heroes moment. Given that Django Unchained immediately goes on to savagely mock the Klansmen with five minutes of Seinfeldian Conversation followed by most of them dying in Schultz's trap, it's pretty clearly intended as a Take That!. The Stinger has one of the (former) Candieland slaves ask "who was that nigger?" in reference to Django. This phrase is very possibly a subtle reference to The Lone Ranger, another vigilante hero widely known for his supreme marksmanship and fighting skills.

What the Hell, Hero?: Schultz arranges a private meeting with Django to criticize him for going too far with his "brutal Negro slaver" act. Django replies that he's doing what he has to do to get his wife back by playing the part as convincingly as he can. During the same meeting, Django himself calls out Schultz on the hypocrisy of him admonishing Django for potentially going too far by reminding him that, earlier in the film, he had him shoot a bounty while he was spending time with his young son despite Django's spoken reluctance.

The only thing that can inspire more contempt along the same lines is being a black slaver.

"Snowy McSnow" (the marshal the two men meet during their wintertime hunt) is, unlike the Daughtrey sheriff, rather accepting of a black freedman.

Just Following Orders: Once Schultz finalizes the sale of Django to him, he suggests to the other slaves that they can either head north towards freedom, or go to a nearby town to get help for the trapped slaver and continue a life in bondage. As Schultz and Django leave, one of the slaves cocks the shotgun Schultz gave them, and the slaver tries to reason with them, saying that all he's done to them and the other people he helped keep in slavery was because he was just doing his job, and even tries to cut a deal with them. It doesn't work.

Schultz does this after shooting Calvin, posing dramatically and even throwing out a Post-Mortem One-Liner before getting shot.

Ambiguously Gay: Billy Crash, who is disappointed that he does not get to cut off Django's testicles, runs a finger down Django's nutsack, and walks in a somewhat feminine way.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign: Hildi's name is obviously intended to be Brünnhilde (or Brynhildr, Brunhild, or Brynhild), given that the mistress who named her was German. The only times we see it written down, however, it is spelled Broomhilda.

To the Pain
 Django Unchained / int_e482cfa7
comment
To the Pain: Lara Candie and the ranchers devise a smorgasbord of possible deaths for Django in the wake of Calvin's death, including cutting off his testicles and letting him bleed out. Stephen casually remarks to each suggestion that the LeQuint Dickey Mining Company slaves have it way worse than any of that. What they do is they make you break big rocks into little rocks until the day you die. They take away your name, give you a number and a sledgehammer, and say "Get to work!" No back-talk is allowed, because if you try, they cut out your tongue (and you won't bleed out, because they're really good at it). You are worked until your back gives out, at which point they'll strike you over the head with a sledgehammer, and throw your body down the "nigger hole". And that will be the story of you.

Composite Character
 Django Unchained / int_e4965307
comment
Composite Character: In the original script, Candie had two main henchmen - the dim Billy Crash and the sadistic Ace Woody. Because Tarantino never stops tinkering with his scripts, even while filming, Ace Woody's part became smaller and smaller until Kurt Russell left the project. The characters were then combined to create a dimwitted but vile Billy Crash.

Gorn: This is definitely one of Tarantino's gorier films, right up there alongside Inglourious Basterds. The opening scene with the slaves executing their owner shows flesh being flung up to the height of the men and blood forcefully spraying out to twice their height, and the final shootout has entire walls covered in blood.

Groin Attack
 Django Unchained / int_eaf5a1ac
comment
Groin Attack: A running theme. Django nearly gets castrated when he's captured at Candieland. Discussed and deconstructed when Stephen mentions most of the whites' uncreative ideas to torture Django "had t' do with fuckin' with your foreign parts"; he secretly hated the concept because, although it may seem exceptionally cruel on paper, cutting off his testicles would cause him to bleed out in seven minutes or so, and Stephen knows a lifetime of grueling labor would be infinitely worse punishment. Django kills two of Candie's remaining enforcers by shooting them in the 'nads. This also may be the only movie in history to feature a groin attack on a snowman.

Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Schultz takes this up to eleven, as several occasions have him use more eloquent English than Americans he's talking to, who get confused and request he talk properly. Hilariously lampshaded in his introductory sequence. Having used a non-colloquial word ("parley"), he is ordered to "speak English," prompting him to laugh and apologize, "please forgive me, it is a second language." Even Candie and the Bag Heads occasionally break this out a little (comparatively speaking) in their Seinfeldian Conversation.

Would Hit a Girl: Several of the slave owners pull this on their female slaves. Django pulls this off twice in the climax. The first one was ambiguous; he shoots a woman who has her face covered up with a bandana. The other one is clearly female (Lara Lee, an unarmed bystander), and he doesn't really have a problem with it — even joking while doing it.

Complexity Addiction: Dr. Schultz, which proves to be his biggest flaw. He repeatedly risks life and limb unnecessarily, starting in the sequence at the start where he kills the sheriff for a bounty by tricking him into coming to him rather than having to lift a finger himself. In fact, the entire plan to trick Candie into selling Broomhilda by pretending to be interested in Mandingo fighting stems from this: Word of God has it that Candie didn't care that much about Broomhilda and would have parted with her anyway without needing to be tricked into it.

The Dog Bites Back: Pretty much the entire premise of the film. Django (a slave) gets recruited by Schultz to take down a group of criminals in exchange for a chance to rescue his wife and gain his freedom. It's also worth mentioning that those criminals once oversaw the plantation that Django was at and that they whipped his wife for trying to escape. The group of slaves Schultz frees (at the beginning of the film) in the course of recruiting Django take some well-deserved and very justified vengeance upon their slave master before their departure.

Evil Is Hammy: Leonardo DiCaprio continues the grand tradition of over-the-top Tarantino villains, being probably the most despicable one yet. Samuel L. Jackson's portrayal of Stephen is also over the top, bordering on caricature. However, this is a case of Obfuscating Stupidity: Stephen is much more sinister and calculating than even Candie himself. He's the person really in charge of the goings-on at Candieland.
