Liberation or Rescue

When I started, I didn't think highly of this film. After three hours, I was exhausted. I didn't feel much touched, just tired.

The next day, I found something was wrong. I often thought about the scenes, lines, and characters in the film, and began to ponder some details. So I realized that this film still has its charm. Then I reflected on my own reasons and realized that it was actually me. Watching this film is not well-prepared, so you shouldn't go to the theater when you're already tired after walking around all day.

So one afternoon, because I didn't go out, I reviewed it again, but only reviewed it for about an hour, maybe because the hotel network was not good, it stopped broadcasting after an hour, and I changed several URLs, but I couldn't go fast After an hour, I couldn't start from the beginning, so I gave up.

This film once had a dramatic scene, and it is said that in addition to a certain shot, it is the problem of the name.

From the perspective of Django itself, of course, it is rescue, but if we look at the greater meaning from Django, of course, it is liberation.

Needless to say, Dr. Schultz's acting skills, the best actor, can't accept it, that demeanor, that scheming and scheming look, he is full of drama inside and out, but after I watched "Inglourious Basterds" , I think, in fact, the role of Hans Landa is better played. Principles are too important for doctors, so you can die but not shake hands. This is called dignity. People like us who would rather humiliate their lives can only understand that it is difficult to do. I personally think that this may be one of the reasons why the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has banned the performance. If everyone is like a dentist, then what? Isn't that really liberating?

Xiao Li's edge was not covered. As a slave owner on a southern plantation, Xiao Li showed his domineering and the unique temperament of a rich second-generation criminal. Butler Hei is really a character that makes people hate it, I want to kick him both off the screen.

As the protagonist, Django himself is quite cool, but he has no acting skills, he has no expression, and he has been acting cool until after the death of the dentist, his sense of humor seems to be alive in him.

The flaws in the plot and the absurdity of the characters are irrelevant, and people do not want to pursue it. After all, this is Quentin. For a director who does not play according to common sense, what is unexpected? Logic no longer matters.

I still like the role of Django's wife. She is a bit like Cosette in "The Tragic World". Although she has also witnessed the unpleasantness of the world, they exist to give people hope and to give people hope. Go through the blood and ugliness, save them and give them a better life.

So since this film makes people think again and again, I still rate it as "recommended".

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.
