What Is Django Unchained

Django Unchained Django unchained is a about a freed slave, turned bounty hunter named Django, looking for his enslaved wife. According to the Internet Movie Database, the movie is set in 1858-1859 in the lower and mid south.

There are some parts of the movie that are very disturbing but a lot of those things really happened to the slaves. The movie opens “somewhere in Texas”. You see a group of slaves, with scars on their backs like the slide of the man we saw in class, chained together walking a very long distance night and day. Two men accompany them on horses.

Schultz tells Django about what his real job is, a bounty hunter. He wants to work with Django and offers him a portion of the reward money that he receives for the wanted men. While in the town, Dr. Schultz kills the wanted sheriff and collects the bounty of 200 dollars. Camping out that night, Dr. Schultz asked Django what he is going to do with his reward money.
