Django Unchained, filmanalyse

Quentin Tarantino is one of those rare directors whose work is identifiable without his name attached. His work is special and sometimes even daring, it express itself in his latest film, Django Unchained. The film takes place in the 1858, two years before the Civil War. The main character, Jamie Foxx, known as Django in the film, is a slave whose freedom is purchased by a German Bounty hunter named Dr. King Schultz (Played by Christoph Waltz). Schultz is not as any other white person in the film; his attitude to the black people is not discriminating. He sees Django as an equal, though Schultz’s motivations are initially more mercenary since Django can identify Schultz’s next targets, the Speck brothers, who once owned Django and his wife, Broomhilda (Played by Kerry Washington).

Dr. Schultz teaches Django to use a gun, which he is a natural talent at. Dr. Schultz and Django become a team, and travel across many stats to earn cash by killing slave-owners. The last stop on their journey is on a big plantation in Mississippi, owned by a cold-blotted man called Calvin Candie (played by Leonardo DeCaprio) whose passion is watching slaves fight to the death. Dr. Schultz and Django pretend to be interested in his slaves, but their real business is to recue Broomhilda, who is one of Mr. Candies many slaves.
