"Django Unchained" from the perspective of "Black lives matter"

Against the background of the intensifying anti-racism movement of blacks in the West recently, the Django revenge episode in "Django Unchained" undoubtedly caters to today's anti-racism black people's struggle psychology. However, history and reality are far more cruel than the situation of black people in film and television works. The United States, which has been abolished for more than 100 years, is still in the whirlpool of racial discrimination. The death of Freud has intensified not only With the historical contradiction between the non-white society of black people and the white society, although the anti-racism movement around the world has not been interrupted, even one wave after another, as long as the concept of racial discrimination still exists in the minds of some people, race Discrimination will not disappear completely.

I think "Django Unchained" is a very "politically correct" film that can stand the test of time. Django is like the incarnation of the anger of countless black people who have been discriminated against and oppressed, responding to countless black people with hearty killings The endless suffering of slaves. The fly in the ointment is that he only shows revenge, and he has not reached the level where he can unite black people to fight against discrimination and oppression, but I believe his "heroic deeds" are enough to inspire many black slaves to fight. Although it is a wave in the anti-black slavery movement, each wave can also form a powerful wave.

Django - a collection and incarnation of anger against black racism and oppression, I would like to call it the strongest free man in the history of the screen.

Django Unchained quotes

  • Amerigo Vessepi: [Franco Nero played the original Django] What's your name?

    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.
