Landa would never spill blood himself, but Schultz takes pride in being an expert gunslinger. Both characters are so detailed and have completely different characteristics, even if there is a fan theory that they are literally the same character.
By Stephen Barker Published May 12, Share Share Tweet Email 0. Schultz is really a bounty hunter who wants Django's help in tracking down two bandits turned plantation overseers. In return, the affable Schultz proposes to school Django in his murderous trade. Cue the shamelessly anachronistic line: "Kill white folks and they pay you for it? What's not to like? Typically for Tarantino, Django is less an organic narrative than a series of routines, yoked together by a spurious mythic spin.
Django's determination to free his beloved Broomhilda Kerry Washington leads Schultz to compare him to the Germanic hero Siegfried has Tarantino been listening to Wagner, or just reading Hollywood's favorite dog-eared myth manual, The Hero With a Thousand Faces? The routines pile up, variously thrilling, beautifully executed and downright larky.
Proto-KKK thugs complain that they can't see through their hoods. A nerve-racking sequence focuses on a horrific slave-on-slave fight laid on to amuse poisonous fop Calvin Candie Leonardo DiCaprio, silkily odious. And Robert Richardson photographs some magnificent scenery, from a rocky red desert to a wintry elk-filled prairie. What really stops the show is Samuel L Jackson's outrageous turn as Stephen, Candie's ancient butler.

Adult Written by Pro Guy 2 June 13, Written by Anonymous June 5, Exploitive slavery-era western Django Unchained features outrageously violent action scenes and strong performances from its cast.
Despite a very long duration, the film still manages to keep your attention. My main criticism is that the plot makes many excuses just for the sake of adding absurd violence That while is fine in the genre of the film, it still requires the characters to derail their own developed personality to happen. So I was hopeful and interested when I learned that Quentin Tarantino was to tackle the subject of slavery in his movie Django Unchained. At nearly three hours long, Django Unchained is as much about slavery as a spaghetti Western is about the realities of the American West.
The notion of a black man Jamie Foxx as Django willing to risk all to regain the wife Kerry Washington as Broomhilda who was taken from him when she was sold like chattel is a powerfully compelling narrative, one that is ripe with historical accuracy, drama and pain.
There are, however, aspects of the film that successfully illuminate the dark corner of the enslavement of African Americans. Tarantino captures the manner in which violence was an everpresent aspect of slave life that helped to maintain and protect the institution of slavery.
