At the beginning of the film, Dr. Schultz and Jiang Ge were in the tavern talking about the profession of a bounty hunter. We can learn that this profession is a reward from the government, and then Dr. Schultz will chase and kill these bad guys. remuneration. Between the lines of the doctor's words, it also revealed that he very much despised slavery in his heart. In the West, dentistry is a very profitable industry, and there is no risk at all. So what was the motivation for Dr. Schultz to switch from a dentist to a bounty hunter? The answer is definitely not Money. Dr. Schultz is a person who hates evil. The profession of a bounty hunter just provides a legal channel for his sense of justice. It can hunt bad people without breaking the law. For Dr. Schultz, it really is. It couldn't be more appropriate.
In the middle of the film, when Dr. Schultz and Jiang Ge discussed how to rescue his wife Hilda, the doctor used the analogy of a farm and a horse. When Jiang Ge proposed a plan to rescue Hilda forcibly, the doctor stopped him, on the grounds that if Hilda was rescued forcibly, then they would become horse thieves and it would be illegal. We can see that all the actions of doctors so far are within the scope of the law. Although the doctor despised slavery, he could not do much for legal reasons. So many times I can only stand by and watch. (For example, when Calvin let the dog kill the slave, the doctor was very entangled, because in the U.S. Constitution at the time, the slave was the property of the slave owner, and the slave owner could do anything, including the life of the slave, so the doctor only I can see it with my own eyes on the carriage)
Speaking of the doctor’s death, there are actually many details in the film. Let's discuss it in detail. In fact, there are two bullets in the doctor's pistol, as we have seen in the story of the tavern. After he killed Calvin, he had time to go back and kill the gunman with the gun. (The gunman was scared after seeing Calvin dead and stood in a daze. According to the doctor's shooting method and hand speed, kill him completely. No problem), but the doctor just opened his hands and said I just couldn't help it. In fact, what the doctor said was not only about shaking hands with Calvin, but also about the trajectory of his entire life. Before, he always abide by the rules and the law, and be a person who enforces fairness and justice within the scope of the law. But after losing in the game with Calvin, he discovered that the law sometimes fails to allow these bad guys to get their due end. Instead, the good guys are tortured and the bad guys dominate. So he took out his sleeve gun and killed Calvin. But the doctor also knew that after this, he also became a lawbreaker, a criminal, and broke the routine of his life, so after shooting Calvin, he did not have the hope of continuing to live, but Let others end their lives. To some extent, the doctor's death was suicide.
After the doctor died, we discovered that Jiang Ge had a deeper change. Becomes sharper, more witty, and Dr. Schultz's breath is also revealed in his speech. But unlike Dr. Schultz, Jiang Ge is bolder and more unruly. He is not afraid of legal constraints. He can shoot bullets at anyone he hates. To some extent, the death of Dr. Schultz truly "liberated" Jiang Ge.
Dr. Schultz is a legend and a leader, allowing Jiang Ge to go to freedom from the dark. Jiang Ge is also a legend. He was favored by Dr. Schultz and surpassed Dr. Schultz to become the enforcer of justice. At the same time, he liberated others. At the end of the film, the three black slaves rescued by Jiang Ge looked at the back of Jiang Ge galloping away, and their eyes were full of admiration and enthusiasm for freedom. One day, they will be like Jiang Ge and Dr. Schultz, leading the northern army to liberate more free hearts entangled in shackles!
