When Moguy, Candie's lawyer, comments that one could almost say he was raised to be Candie's lawyer, Djando sardonically suggests that he may as well have been brought up in captivity, not dissimilar to a slave, with subtext suggesting that he is calling into question Moguy's feelings of superiority based on skin colour. :D Inglorious Bastards is similar to Django Unchained in that both films re-imagine an era of historic tragedy. Cooper brought race into his first Leatherstocking novel, and set the stage for a war against the Western by the remainder of America's classic and great writers, and a few of its great film directors. while Schultz did genuinely despise Candie for his monstrous treatment of his slaves, it was. Marshal based at the town of Daughtrey. The film was released in 2012. It's possible that the plan would have gone off without a hitch had she not noticed or not chosen to joke about it. Stark difference. i see what you are saying that perhaps Tarantino crafted that scene as the moment needed to take us off the wild ride, to sober us so to speak, so we could step into future alongside Schultz and experience the depravity of Candie's nature and his dead world. With the help of a German bounty hunter, a freed slave sets out to rescue his wife from a brutal Mississippi plantation owner. Schultz needs Django’s passion and brawn, as much as Django needs Schultz’s intellect and wit, to meet their goals. Lara Lee is actually the one who first notices Hildy's tension with Django, and it's her lighthearted jest about it that draws Stephen's attention to them enough for him to work out the rest. as she and Django are about to leave Candieland. But, to avoid punishment, social rules and laws force you to consider other people’s needs and welfare, so that you have to turn your natural, pleasure-seeking desires into forms that are socially and morally acceptable, if you are to survive in a civilized world. It's like Tarantino wanted to tell us the story of how bad slavery was on people and what damage it did to people's minds, and where it could lead us to (unbounded violence). Fandom Apps Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. As a Character Sheet, spoilers will be below. According to Freud, your innate desire is to reap the greatest pleasure from living, by gaining an upper hand on people and circumstance. Django manages to talk his way out of his chains after being captured in Candyland by promising to help his captors claim a huge bounty - skills he got from watching Schultz earlier in the movie. For example, in Freud's theory of human motivation, Mother Teresa's desire to help needy and suffering people is more selfish than selfless. This is exactly why I love Tarantino, because there's a whole lot of instinctive, emotional experience going on in his films. Insists on Schultz shaking his hand after their deal is done, denying its validity unless he does so. he is addressing feelings, it seems to me he feels from the head It's when we let past ideas, learning and identifications drive seeing and action, the opposite of which is good faith, where we seize the power within us to CHOOSE out of full awareness the right action. Is it brawn as depicted in Mandingo fighting? Moreover, genetic makeup determines the ability to achieve a compromise to your advantage. Our soul does cheer when terrible, bad people committing heinous crimes get it in the end; when their status, power and money cannot protect evil people. Love the thread of comments. One interpretation of his killing Candie; he couldn't bring himself to shake Candie's hand because that would mean condoning the brutality of Candieland and the slave trade at large. Django's love for another human being transcended Schultz' drive for money and power. But, it's still aggression, no matter its context. Becomes this in the eventual assault on Candyland, although it's subverted: even the best gunman is only dangerous when he has bullets, and Django was eventually overwhelmed and backed into a corner. Cheers, you're great Deborah, I'm really looking forward to go through all of your posts. He shoots Calvin knowing he'll get shot back and die in order to not make Django be continued seen as a slave. You take good care. We get all caught up in the pretty visuals and the cleverness, we miss that the spirit is dry, it's human perspective less than full. and even says 'I couldn't resist'!-haha, that's genius"! There's nothing like the in depth training to really deepen our understanding of human motivation. I appreciate their concerns but have to disagree, respectfully, with their points of view. Schultz and Candie are men who like to think they have control of people and the situation. I love the crossover you speak to. Thank you for stimulating my thinking on the subject matter. My class meets this Friday night in Berkeley to have dinner together, watch Django, and discuss it. Django Unchained. This is what makes you fit to survive. This display of petty arrogance gets both him and Schultz killed when Schultz shoots Candie out of wounded pride. His distaste is so entrenched that he never hesitates to get slaves into trouble (even though punishments are brutal, and often fatal). In Django, King and Django carry on this tradition but with a twist. There is, indeed, that emotionally sterile feel to his films. Thanks everyone, I really liked your blog. I love what you say, "Cheering for the intentional death of a horrible person." I hope I understand well what you are saying here. My hunch is that if he were alive today (I guess he'd be about 170 years old), he would agree with your critique. After Django shoots him in the kneecaps, Stephen gets. would rather shoot Candie, getting himself killed and putting Django and Brunhilde through more hell than simply shake Candie's hand and leave safely with their main objective achieved after Candie gets the better of him. He understood that race was inextricably bound to the chaotic story of America's emerging society and culture, and that the story of individualism was best presented on the frontier. Of course, this is exactly what I like about film analyses--the power to transform us. Cagey and not to be underestimated, Stephen will do anything to protect his monstrous master. But, I will let you decide what you think about this. Your English is excellent. this is partially what lead to the failure of his plan, and his death. Django shoots Stonesipher's genitals off. Permissions beyond the scope of this license may be available from thestaff@tvtropes.org. The great personality theorist Sigmund Freud is also relevant here, as his theory of personality stems from Darwin’s theory. This after being shot, beaten, nearly castrated, and sold back into slavery. Is there nothing more to us than a survival of the fittest mentality? The most damaging character is Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson), who is the ultimate loyal slave to Candie and attempts to sabotage any hope Django has in retrieving his wife. It was just too intense. Candyland is a plantation in Chickasaw County, Mississippi run by Calvin J. Candie and his head house slave, Stephen. And to do so, to catch our attentions and to get us to stick to our seats and really pay attention to what is going on, he added all the other popstickle-grade "violent-and-funny" cottillon artifacts he stuffed the screenplay with. So guess where Django makes a point of putting a bullet during the final showdown. from Dr. Deborah: Get Hardy Psychology Today, Django, and Genres, Unchained: Review of Tarantino's Latest, Gone with the Wind and Xica: Two Myths of Slavery, The Kidnapped Girls in Nigeria, Modern Slavery, and You. Schultz ends up dying because he let his emotions get the best of him, not to inspire Django. Stephen's life ends with him cursing at Django before he gets blown up. I think in their journey together to meet each other's needs - Schultz' defenses were slowly being challenged by the horrific abuse of slaves and also Django's instinctive, passionate nature. If you have an ounce of moral, psychological, and spiritual awareness and sensitivity, you will leave the film “morally queasy,” like CNN blogger Gene Seymour did. I can see what you are saying. Hi, Deborah. I mean, you have a broad audience that you know doesn't think too much about anything and just wants to be entertained. TVTropes is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. Mulvey’s theory can be applied to Django Unchained as the female characters do not have demanding roles or are depicted as damsels in distress. Because we are too busy fighting each other over things that we don't even own to realize that the real oppressors are never the target of our violence. The compromise between the two is the best of what you can expect of life. She and Stephen came up with the idea of sending a captured Django to a mine, where he'll be worked to death, stripped of his name, possibly have his tongue removed, and never be reunited with Broomhilda. The sadistic and charismatic owner of Candyland. Django and Schultz are not actually trying to buy a Black fighter and are instead there to save Broomhilda. Or, is it ingenuity and intellect, like Dr. Schultz, that helps us to survive? Or, you are one of the 70 million readers of the sadomasochistic best-seller Fifty Shades of Grey. You need a device that would get their eyes really open, and have their ears properly ready, and then: "boom! What I meant was, that in the fantasy of the movie, a tale based in that time and place, it seemed pretty 'right' that someone got killed by getting shot. During their final confrontation, Candie expects Schultz to acknowledge his defeat and somehow recognize him as a. Freud suggests here that selfless action is more masochistic than it is emotionally developed or spiritual because the manifest behavior is the complete opposite of the true desire. Truthfully, he pretty much runs the show. All except one, that's right in the middle, that has little to non graphical on-screen blood-and-gore violence, and to me was the actual message-conveying part of the movie, the one the makers *wanted* everyone to watch, to have everybody in the cinema to just sit there and not miss a single second of it, because it was the most important part of the movie. While not very bright, he is very ruthless. And thank you for taking the time to comment. Django bounty hunts with Schultz for six months, in return for which Schultz will help Django to free his wife from slavery. Thank you so much for visiting me today. What should we do with slavers who have a wooden box out in the field to lock people in just for their own amusement? And something like this always tends to happen with Tarantino movies, like Pulp Fiction, or Inglorious Basterds. When he returns to Candyland, especially. Stephen is a house slave that has completely bought into the racist ideology that justified slavery in the American south. However, Candie is willing to let Schultz and Django leave with Broomhilda at the cost of her selling price and Schultz's pride by way of sealing the deal with a handshake. But, let's stick to the psychological analysis again. Darwin and Freud understood the most basic drives of human beings but didn't theorize well as to humankind's drive for deeper psychological and spiritual meaning and purpose. Hello Dan, I will always appreciate my post doc psychoanalytic training. I think you really know what you talk about and have felt "identified" with the things you say, like the conclusion I came to, when Shcultz "can't resist" killing Candie. A house slave that serves as Candie's mistress/companion. His insistence on this terminology leads to his death. One of Candie's most trusted hands. Dr. Schultz's evolution of character informs us as to where Tarantino falls on this matter. It's really great exchanging ideas with you, who have studies and have a degree, which I don't. Stephen brought to tears when Schultz kills Candie. A loving relationship can be an oasis in uncertain times, but nurturing it requires attention, honesty, openness, vulnerability, and gratitude. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/DjangoUnchained. Django Unchained: A Film Analysis Django Unchained puts America's horrible past with slavery up front and center. Hence, you have to negotiate desire with other people’s needs and social norms, to avoid punishment, social rejection, and disgrace. See our top-ranked characters and read their profiles. he can't quite believe that a slave he never gave a second thought to hunted him down and put a bullet in his dark heart, as a stupid and unpleasant character who dies horribly, sold Django to them instead of killing him directly, like the ones that would be used in the Civil War, Django is comparable to Siegfried, the hero of. Best regards to you Pablo, insisted that Stephen was not intended as a reference. I don't know if you have seen an argentine movie called "Wild Tales (Relatos Salvajes)". A plantation owner and slaver and the current employer of the Brittle Brothers. Is in fact the man Schultz is in town to collect the bounty on. gets an easy opportunity to shoot and kill Schultz...and does. In fact, the film’s silliness provides a sharp contrast to its depiction of the dehumanizing treatment of slaves, and in this, actually highlights the horrors of slavery more than the film’s humor. In fact, there’s a very disturbing scene in which the cruel plantation owner Calvin Candie proclaims that blacks are inherently submissive, because of three depressed marks that characterize the structure of their brainstem. There I just couldn't resist (*myself*) holding my head by the sides and scream a little, cheering for the intentional death of a horrible person. Very nice dialoguing with you about your ideas. Was Tarantino trying to ask us: would you be ok with shooting a guy that's so ugly and terrible as Candie? The connection between race, the American Western, and a culture of paradox are interwoven from our first Western--James Fenimore Cooper's The Pioneers, through the genre up to and including film and television westerns [from police stories to space westerns]. It sounds like you have a deep appreciation of how race is inextricably bound to Americas culture and al though I hinted at this only, I agree wholeheartedly with your deep insights. You cannot live healthily or happily by living solely to satisfy your own needs. The film’s use of humor isn’t designed to cover the horrifying abuse of black slaves. I can't recall ever learning anything enlightening from them, and they do allow me to escape my artsy fartsy emo side. Sadism seems to be an ongoing feature of human nature. The oldest Brittle brother, and seemingly their leader. I'm late to the thread, but I thought I would write that most of us who dislike Django Unchained understood reasonably well what Tarantino was trying to do.
