Javier Martinez

It's the style of the director, Quentin Tarantino and was to show the evils of the south at the time. My impression of the movie was more influenced by the director and his previous works than the trailer. I expected an epic journey of a slave fighting to be reunited with his wife. Didn't know much more than that about the movie.

If you enjoy spagetti westerns or Quentin Tarantino films then i think you might like the film. -Spoilers- I have seen the movie and was wondering if any one else found the clash between King Schultz and Mister Candie to be extremly satisfying and entertaining. I view King Schultz to be very intelligent and moral though he did murder for the state, it was always people that propagated and enforced the instutiton of slavery or great offenders of property rights and life. He was extremely moved by abuse and torment of the black people as made obvious all through out the movie. In particular the mandigo fighting scene and the dog/fighter scene as they headed into candie land. These scences were so graphic and extreme they had both Schultz and the audience squirming in their seats. I view Mister candie as strongest representation of the southern white culture. He is the largest single owner of slaves working the largest plantation in south and owns many slaves who are forced to particpate in mandigo fighting of black slaves to the death. He makes refrences to southern way of living, southern hospitality and the laws of the county that all dictate and reinforce the very evil Schultz dispises. The clash between the two characters was so deep and it could only be made known to me after seeing one of Stefans more recent videos on youtube. It was something along the lines of, the most immoral is the person who does evil with knowledge of morality or sense of civilty and who believe that their actions are correct or logically consistant. I thought that person to be embodied role of Mister Candie. The false sense of civility when the whole place was a hell is bothered Schultz so much near the end. He asked the harp player to stop playing Beethoven, he refused to sit quietly with the rest of the guest and tried to retreat into the library but couldn't escape the horrors of the day. It was the very reason why Schultz felt he had to shoot Candie and could not shake his hand as equals, something that he shared with Django when they first agreed to work together. Well thats my two silver pieces. i do love the movie and if you haven't seen it then please do.
