First, some people say that as a white dentist, why does he not discriminate against blacks? Some people even say that he is a German and that he should support slavery. Well, I want to say that because he is a German, he would not approve of slavery. Hitler will be born more than twenty years later, okay? Not all Germans are Nazis, okay? Prussia had abolished slavery as early as 1807. Even Britain passed laws prohibiting the slave trade as early as 1833. France became the first country in Europe to abolish slavery after the Great Revolution. Otherwise, Dumas won't even think about writing novels. Although he was only a mixed race, according to the United States' One Drop of Blood Law, Dumas was a black slave when he arrived in the United States. Therefore, although all white Americans in the film are staunch supporters of slavery, a dentist as a German should not and cannot support slavery.
Second, why should the dentist help Jiang Ge? Is the dentist Gay? In love with Jiang Ge? Please, let's not talk about this. As mentioned earlier, dentists do not approve of slavery at all. So he treats Jiang Ge more as a partner and a friend. The director gave an explanation in the film that Jiang Ge’s wife’s name coincides with German mythology, and as a German, he is obliged to help the protagonist in the myth. Of course this is the doctor's explanation to Jiang Ge. In fact, letting Jiang Ge save his wife alone is tantamount to letting him go to death. And as a friend, as a white person to help, can reduce the risk of this matter a lot. It's not a terrible thing for him to come out and buy a black slave as a white man. The doctor never thought about going to death. As for why not just spend twelve thousand on hildi? Let’s put it this way, if you receive a call and someone says they’ve taken a fancy to the old TV you bought at the thrift market last year for 500 yuan, and they say they’d like to buy it for 1W2. You must immediately scold the dead liar to your mother and hang up the phone.
Third, after Xiao Lizi exposed their lies, why didn't he just kill them to get the money? But to do business with them? Please, Xiao Lizi is a manor, not a robber. Yes, the American West was quite chaotic at the time, but there were still laws. Didn't you see the bounty hunters running around? If you break the law, you will still be wanted. Not only can Xiao Lizi not kill the doctor, he can't even kill Jiang Ge. Because even a nigger, he is the property of others, and you have no right to intervene. Asking Butch to point a gun at them is for them not to act rashly, not for them to take out the money. It was his nigger that Xiao Lizi wanted to kill with the hammer. He had the right to do so, which was granted by the law at the time. Therefore, selling Hildi 1W2 to a doctor is a reasonable and legal transaction, not a strong buying or selling.
Fourth, why did the dentist refuse to shake hands with Xiao Lizi and shoot him? For this, I want to say that it is only out of two words, dignity. Why does Xiao Li arrogantly have to shake hands with the dentist? It is entirely for the purpose of trampling on the dignity of the opponent. Not only do you have to take out the money obediently, but you also have no choice in the trivial matter of not shaking hands. Are you angry and want to leave? I want you to shake hands with me. I want to take your last line of defense and completely defeat the last bit of dignity. Therefore, in the face of dignity, 1W2 is a trivial matter, and whether or not to shake hands is a major matter. Moreover, the director also described the mental state of the dentist. He kept reminiscing about the scene where D'Artagnan was torn apart, which was a great shock to his spirit. That's why I couldn't bear it at the end and fired that shot. In his own words, he just couldn't hold back.
Finally, I want to say, why is Christopher Waltz a supporting role? Who said that there can only be one actor in a film? Obviously should be the best actor. Give the best supporting actor to Little Plum or Samuel Jackson. Daniel Day Lewis? Okay, your "Blood is Coming" is a good performance, but Lincoln is still close to taking the Golden Man.
