Django Unchained Research Papers

“Kill white folks and they pay you for it? What’s not to like?” Django Unchained tells the story of a slave who desires to get revenge against the white southern people and to save his wife from one of the biggest plantations in the world. Slavery was a big part of American history, and the idea of a black cowboy being a hero in that era, challenges the stereotype of all cowboys usually being white westerners. This movie visits America’s lowest point in history, but it is worth the watch because in the end, the intelligent, boastfulness, loyal slave wins. In 2007, Tarantino had the brilliant idea of making a spaghetti western movie – A movie that is a broad subgenre (mixture of two genres fused together) of Western films. – He wanted to produce
An event that may have lead to get a clear message throughout the film would be the shooting of Trayvon Martin. In February of 2012, an African American 17 year old boy was walking home from a near by liquor store. A man by the name of George Zimmerman (neighborhood watchmen) was suspicious of the young black male. This portrays discrimination and racial profiling. The kid was simply carrying skittles and a beverage when he got into a confrontation with the watchman. Problems arose and lead to the unfortunate death of an innocent black teen. Sadly the murderer of second-degree murder was found not guilty in 2013 because of “self defense.” What is great about this is that Actor Jamie Foxx wore a Trayvon Martin shirt while walking down the red carpet at the MTV movie awards in 2013. He said to the public, “Know Justice, Know Peace.” He says this to tell the world we should all be in peace with one another and This is so wonderful because Django also depicts about the justice for slaves and he rebels against the whites to show that they can be overtaken too. Not only was this an event of racism, from there on we have had so many forms of modern
In a dark forest with a trail of slaves being walked by their owners, the Speck brothers; a very well thought out, well kept, intelligent German “dentist” by the name of Doctor King Shultz (who is actually is bounty hunter) appears in the woods with them. Tarantino has a great use of rhetoric if you are familiar with his films. He loves using extreme politeness. For example, in one of his other gory dark comedy movies, Inglorious Basterds, Christoph Waltz plays a polite, smart S.S killer and in this movie he plays a funny, two-faced, polite “dentist” and speaks with perfect English. Doctor Shultz wants to purchase one of the men and cares to make an agreement with one of the slaves, “Django,” because he is in search of two men. He says to the Speck brothers, “Among your company, I’m led to believe, there is a specimen I hope to acquire.” My first thought on how he spoke to the brothers as very formal, and you wouldn’t think doctor Shultz was a bounty hunter. He wants to speak with Django to see if he can help locate the men because he knows what they look like. He agrees to travel with Mr. Shultz to every plantation in Gatlinburg to collect the bounties. Django will point the criminals out and the doctor will kill them, along with this, he will get twenty-five dollars per kill and his freedom. After their first successful bounty, they travel the south in search of
