People who think Jiang Ge is a positive person actually didn't understand this movie!

The only positive role in this movie is the dentist. As for the protagonist, Jiang Ge, although he is cooler than the dentist, if you can't see the director's praise and criticism of this role, it would be really careless. If what the doctor did was to pursue equality and freedom, then the person he rescued was only pursuing hatred of the white man. Let's take a look at what Jiang Ge did after entering Xiaolizi Manor.
1. Xiao Lizi’s lawyer was very polite to him as soon as he met, but he came up with a sentence that you are his slave and provoked the other party and was rounded up by the doctor. Later, they did not mind and offered him a drink, and he never showed any disrespect to him. , The final fate was shot dead by him for no reason.
2. Repeatedly, because of one or two words of others (not directed at him, but he is not used to it), he was ready to draw a gun and kill someone. When someone made a joke, it not only interrupted people's arms, but also stared at someone called Niang Pao. .
3. Only his wife is a human, and the other blacks are not humans. Prevent doctors from saving people and watching others being eaten by dogs. When the black slaves take a second glance, they will speak harshly.
4. In fact, after the doctor killed Xiaolizi, he didn't even want to kill again, because Xiaolizi did not commit a crime even though he violated his bottom line. As a bounty hunter, after killing an innocent doctor, he definitely wanted to pay for his life, otherwise, how could he wait for death with his skill. After the gunman killed the doctor, he didn't necessarily intend to embarrass Jiang Ge again, otherwise Jiang Ge would still have his life. But Jiang Ge somehow killed the defenseless lawyer first.
5. The plot to kill the three overseers by tricks is also very disgraceful. Quentin said as soon as he came up that we were not bandits, indicating that these three were good people. And anyone who understands Western culture knows that Western Cowboys have the most important promise. They can kill people at will and they will not promise at will. As long as the transaction is concluded, they will never go back. So after hearing Jiang Ge's promise, the three people happily fulfilled their promises, and they died even more happily.
6. In the last shot, Sister Xiao Lizi, who had no black spots in the whole film, showed Jiang Ge's indiscriminateness. My sister even asked the slave girl to pour a cup of coffee when she was in a bad mood after attending the funeral. I can imagine where it can go bad. Some people say that my sister is the worst because she sold Jiang Ge to the mine to do coolies, but doing coolies was originally the daily work of most black slaves! Could it be more cruel than cutting off the egg? She didn't even describe Jiang Ge's dangerous background to the buyer! To a black man who has killed so many people in his family, is it kind to be kind if she has to give Jiang Ge a polite gift? Can you do it yourself?
Finally, let's talk about the old housekeeper who was considered willing to be a running dog. Quentin actually didn't regard him as a harlequin at all. Please note that he bowed his knees to Xiao Li and only acted in front of the guests. When he was in the study, his majestic manner and words and deeds were completely on the same level as Xiao Li, and he even used a commanding tone to Xiao Li! This shows that Quentin's portrayal of characters is not as simple as you think!

    Django: Django.

    Amerigo Vessepi: Can you spell it?

    Django: D-J-A-N-G-O. The D is silent.

    Amerigo Vessepi: I know.

  • Django: [as Schultz prepares to pour the beer] What kind of dentist are you?

    Dr. King Schultz: [smiles] Ha!

    [Schultz fills the beer glasses from the tap]

    Dr. King Schultz: Despite that cart, I haven't practiced dentistry in five years. But these days, I practice a new profession...

    [Schultz grabs the glasses filled with beer and gives a drink to Django]

    Dr. King Schultz: Bounty hunter.

    [Schultz sits down with his own glass]

    Dr. King Schultz: Do you know what a bounty hunter is?

    Django: No.

    Dr. King Schultz: Well, the way the slave trade deals in human lives for cash, a bounty hunter deals in corpses.

    [Schultz clinks his beer glass to Django's]

    Dr. King Schultz: Prost!

    [pause]

    Dr. King Schultz: The state places a bounty on a man's head. I track that man, I find that man, I kill that man.

    [pause]

    Dr. King Schultz: After I've killed him, I transport that man's corpse back to the authorities. Sometimes that's easier said than done. I show that corpse to the authorities, proving yes, indeed, I truly have killed him, at which point the authorities pay me the bounty. So, like slavery, it's a flesh for cash business.
