At the end of the day yes Schultz was bout his business. I believe he gave enough of a F for Django to not just straight up doubt cross him for nothin. However though if it the next bounty slip had the silent Ds face on it and it came down to "give us Django we'll let you go" of course he would've done it.
It was SO Stupid of Schultz to do what he did, because he really fucked Django over when he did it, as well. they could have come back if they wanted too so badly. but he was Impulsive and i honestly felt like it was the worst part of the whole movie. its like it was just done to be "Shocking"
Am I the only one that got the impression that Candy wasn't going to let them leave alive regardless of whether or not they shook hands? That's what I assumed the whole interaction was about, and why it played out the way it did
$25 back then would be the equivalent to $900 or so dollars in today's money. edit: this isn't me justifying slavery i just get obsessed with details like currency conversion and stuff
Schultz's decision to shoot Candy reveals his romantic side. Up to then, he's the ultimate rationalist. But when confronted by pure evil, he realises that he can't allow it to live, regardless of the consequences to himself, Django or Django's wife.
The issue i take with your theory is you go out of your way to paint his actions in a bad light while seemingly painting none in a good light. Your theory feels less likely to be true because evidence supports it and seems more likely something you wanted to be true. Your usage of white savior seems to support this. And if you pick anything and focus 100% to seeing it in a bad light, you will succeed every time
Schultz was absolutely right. The hand shake was to reduce him down to nothing (Kicking a dog while its down) Candy got pleasure out of it and you would be out of your mind if you would think Candy would’ve let Schultz, Django & Broomhilda walk away without humiliating them even further. Candy didn’t like that he gave free papers to Django and he definitely didn’t like Alexandre Dumas story. The moment you have the Bill of sale it’s your property, but you threaten his property at gun point which is a crime.
Brother you need to watch it a 7th... Schultz gave basically all the tools to survive in this cruel world and about the pay you have to put it in context...even today an apprentice doesnt get h same pay for the same work...not sure whats you point here
Not entirely true. Candy wouldn't probably have let them leave even after Shultz concedes to a handshake. I think Shultz ultimately realizes this and chose the part to end Candy as well.
This is full of random neatpicking and really reaching, and also base on mostly todays era of morality, you don't really considered the time period of the place, and other thing that he did in the movie and really hammering this idea of him using Django for his own benefit. He also free those slaves in the opening telling them which way to go to the save place, he is also tries to stop Candyland people from killing that one guy which will screw this whole "personal reasoning" of him, and let's talk about this payment thing which is ridiculous, only 1/3? only? Again you clearly don't really care about the time period of the movie, Schultz is giving him one in a million opportunity, that is a literal heaven, he is teaching him not just how to read but also how to act as a better human, and not just mindless scared slave. 1/3 as an essentially a random intern that getting a free education, 24/7 protection, and being free from the violation of human right? proper food, proper clothes, proper job. Also Schultz is not really teaching Django to be a bounty hunter randomly, that is literally because of Django killed the first 2 of that brothers, he takes him as his student so Django can use his skill for a job and also being a bounty hunter can gives you a lot of benefit like people will not attack you randomly since you are the law and Django can't have another job btw, he is not considered to be human in that time. I can go on and on about this but one thing for sure is that your take is so bad.
This is absolutely ridiculous. Tarantino wrote the script with some ideas, then he probably did some changes while filming and editing, then actors added their interpretation and now this reviewer is making it all up as the characters exists in reality.
Bro you're overcomplicating things for one he's of Germanic descent for two It's called doing the right thing... Always gotta make it about race... What a Gen Z perspective unless you're using an AI to talk😂😂😂 If your word is worth anything you won't hide this comment or delete it...
There’s no way these are your genuine thoughts on his character and this isn’t just a rage bait to get more comments and a better RU-vid video. Say what you really think you don’t need a hot take.
Over analyzing this at its finest...lets not forget it is a movie and it had to have a dramatic ending instead of them just shaking hands and walking out the door. But i guess to justify Shultz"s actions (which is hard to do because it was basically suicide) he had already lost $12000 which was a years profit. He had NO intentions of spending that type of money which probably left him rock bottom. So that...and with the torture of seeing a man ripped to shreads was too much..and the cherry on the sundae is to shake hands afterwards proved to be too much.
Schultz’s death is nothing more than Contrived writing. His actions had a very high likelihood of causing the death of Django and Hildi. At best they both end up in slavery again, which almost happened. King had and ego and he is morally ambiguous at times. But, after all the selfless “fathering” of Django, saying he was responsible for him because he gave him his freedom. Plus, the extreme lengths he went to in the plan to save Hildi and the significance this has for a German. Moreover, he dropped $12k without hesitation to save her, and themselves. It was a disgraceful end to his character. That doesn’t make any sense. It would have been better if candy one him over and he turns on Django, I’m not saying better that would suck too, but less bad than what actually happened. But it still gets worse. The hidden sleeve derringer king shoots candy with was all ready established to have two shots in the movie, but he just takes the shotgun blast leaving Django to be hopelessly out numbered. Then Django, who’s shown to have quick fucking hands, just lets the henchmen unload on king. The movie needed Django to be the hero so is CONTRIVED a way to get king out of the way for the true Star to shine. And this scene is terrible, I don’t mind the rest but this scene pisses me off every time I watch it. And I saw this movie in theatres at 15. It’s so F*cking stupid it’s unbelievable. Quinton is a great writer and but he really wrote himself into a corner. And given he hasn’t addressed it publicly, he knows what he did.
this whole video is just overthinking. shultz killed candy bc it was so easy and such a good win for him and i dont think shultz was just "using django" he's just in awe of his situation and has such an eye for showmanship he wants to see the ultimate hero win (german fairytale with broomhilda)
@@socketzrapz5039 overthinking is an understatement...let's not forget..it is a movie and had to have a dramatic ending..who in their right mind would shoot candy in a suicide mission. In real life Schulz would have swallowed his pride shook hands and got the hell on
I think one of the reasons i like the writeing for Shultz character is explicitly because how human hes portrayed, people are contradictive, people dont always hold ideas that seem compatible, people might spontaneously do something totally aganst their charicter for no reason other than it felt right at that moment. Haveing him written inconsistantly makes him more realistic as a character
Watch it a 7th time, being given 1/3 of the bounty collections, when you don't have to take any of the risk to get he info, plan, get resources, have no connections to find people or use their resources, being given not only knowledge, but power over how to use it is not enslaving him again...but a lot of people who don't create or lead their own trade don't understand that.
Implying that Shultz doesn't care for Django is wild. He literally risks his life to go save Brumhilde. He also tries to save D'Artagnan before Django stops him and is plagued with visions of his death immediately before he kills Candy. Shultz isn't a perfect person, but he clearly detests cruelty and values the lives of innocent people.
I love some takes on the idea: >the doctor shoot him because he is tired of all the shit of Calvin (thinking about the dogs since the begin of the scene), also because Calvin is also mad with the doctor being more smart than him >Dentist versus Candy >He gets the "i couldnt resist" and never tries to shot any goon because he break the rule of "old stories" when the guy gives you shelter is like sacred following you know all this norse/german stories like Brunhildr (in fact the doctor with that bear is kinda Odin type of wizard god lmaooo you get the idea) >Other guy say is because Tarantino wanted a third act about gore kills "sorry i couldnt resist"
Points i wanna say because we talk about a Quentin Tarantino Movie here, a Movie by a Man that is keen for details: 1: Schulz doesn't enslave Django, he is just playing with the thought of enslaving him in a debtful way, to ''use'' him to find the Brittle Brothers (Schulz hates Slavery, Django was free from the start) which he has problems to find, he's exploiting Django in a way 2: Schulz keeping 2/3 of the Bounties has it's reasons: we are set in the South of America, many stores doesn't allow black people to even enter their property -> he pays for almost everything for Django i assume -> Clothes, Food, Weapons and Ammo etc. 3: And then the Killing of Candie, you need to see the Picture of the WHOLE Candyland Chapter to understand why Schulz killed Candy during the ''Contract signing scene'', - after they went to Greenville, Django developed a bit of an negative attitude because Broomhilda is getting nearer and nearer, he's getting careless -> he gets cocky alot that goes on Schulz's nerves (the scene when he scolds Django for antagonizing Candie and the Slaves too much shows it) - Schulz scheme of being the ''Mandingo Fighter'' interested SLAVER goes hard against his nature but its the only way to even get INTO Candyland get's on his nerves, - the constant triggerhappy Guards/Bodyguard with the Sawn-off Shotgun, Candies Lawyer Mr. Moguy and his bootlicking attitude for Candie, Steven's hardcore racism and Candies sister as the brainless Yes-Woman she is are going on his nerves, - seeing the slaves beating eachother to death in the Parlor for entertainment and especially seeing D'Artagnan being ripped apart by Candie's Dogs went HARD on his nerves, - and first and foremost: Candie as a Person! -> has a french-kink -> doesn't know a word in french, doesn't know ANYTHING about french culture in general -> Slaver, Rassist, sees black people as way lesser and inferior ''Creatures'' (letting D'Artagnan be killed by Dogs, Mandingo Fighting in general, constant use of the N-Word, Black Folks are ''Goods'' not Humans, the Skull scene with the ''Three Dimples Theory''), -> the constant threats by Candie, first through a mean undertone during fights, later being held at Gunpoint and being forced to a really bad deal for Broomhilda, -> Candie as the hardcore know-it-all that he is but he is actually an unedjucated idiot --- all of that accumulates until the White-Cake scene in the Library: the constant repeat of the same tune of the harp that is played, the constant mocking by Candie, the Laughter of Steven and Candies Goons, the praising of Candie by Mr. Moguy, it leads to Schulz becoming careless himself when he started to begin his ''mocking'' of Candie with his ''Normally i would say ''Auf Wiedersehen'''' speech and before that the mocking of Candie's missing knowledge about the Author of the ''Three Musketeers'' Alexandre Dumas (who's Characters Name ''D'Artagnan'' Candie uses for his price fighting slave) being black by pointing out ''What Dumas would make of all this'' hit against candie, the ''insisting on the Handshake'' and threataning of Django and Broomhilda by Candie was the icing ontop that ultimately sealed Schulz's unfortunate fate BUT every man has his limits, even a professional like King Schulz
I understand where your coming from, but at the same time i feel if even shultz did accept the handshake, theres really nothing stopping candy from killing him, taking his money and enslaving django and his wife. He would had no repercussions if he really screwed them all over for murdering Schultz. Candy was pissed he was getting screwed over and ready to kill djangos wife over this deal and you see candy is very self centered and wanna be the smart man in the room. Bested by a dentist and a slave....nah he really could have done an evil power move by accepting the hand shake, getting him to his level, having his morals rejected and killing shultz, enslaved the two and end the story there.
If his intentions and heart were truly in support of Django and his wife he would’ve turned a blind eye to candy and gritted his teeth until they made it out. By being rash he almost got all 3 of them killed.
I love that you’ve come to this conclusion. It’s so clear that Shultz suffers from the white savior complex trope. To think otherwise is to be surface level and disingenuous.
I think you misunderstand Shultz because you misunderstand bounty hunting. Also django was the one who really wanted his wife back, why the hell would shultz help him at all and not just be done with him after he killed the brittle brothers. Him giving django 33% is extremely generous, considering all Django had to do was learn to use a gun. Shultz had all the licenses and documentation to hunt bounties. Thats a GREAT damn deal when you’re just a gun AND you get assistance saving a loved one from slavery. Say what you will, i think he killed candie because he couldn’t bear the fact that he had just legally purchased a slave. He felt the handshake made it more legitimate, he was offended, so he killed him. At least thats my theory.
