I hadn't noticed it before, had to read TV Tropes to realize it, but Candie here got offended by being called "mister" instead of "monsieur", and that's probably what prompted him to want to rub his victory over Schultz in - getting both of them killed
Not only does he say "Mister", but he switches from saying "Monsieur Con-de" with a French accent to "Mister Candy" in an obnoxiously American accent. It's a VERY intentional barb that clearly pissed Candie off royally.
Yes plus the AufWiedersehen as well obviously. Both were too stubborn and couldn’t “let it go”. Schultz stubbornly had to be a sore loser & obversely Candie had to be a sore winner.
Holy shit, idk how I missed "Mister Candie" in the 3 times I've seen it. That's a nice detail. Also that they both sewed the seeds of their demise almost simultaneously. Excellent writing.

This scene truly speaks to how important RESPECT is. Even after candy “won” got the money from the guys who tried to fool him, just the fact that dr.Shultz wouldnt give him the RESPECT to shake his hand (and rightfully so) that ate candy up, and threw it all away because he demanded unearned respect, that’s why I like the addition of him eating the cake “trying to have his cake and eat it too” got their money, scared them to death and still felt like you lost cause he wouldn’t shake your hand, cause he doesn’t view you as a person worthy of respect.
Less respect, more show of dominance. I mean I've heard from multiple people down in the south of the US that formality and pretence is heavily enforced there, culturally and socially. To the point where genuine respect and kindness take second place to the appearance of those values.
@@nepntzerZer yeah I just realized watching the scene ou youtube Candie probably just wanted to humiliate them before killing them anyway. Shultz probably guessed it when Butch pointed his gun at Brumilda so he punched first
Totally insane! Pride before the fall. Doc was skating on thin ice. He and Cal were both going to eat lead. And the shock it gave Stephen was too much. Jackson was phenomenal in this performance.
He probably did. At the same time, i think Steven knew his life was essentially over aswell if Calvin died. Steven had it good (well, as good as a slave could have, but you get the idea). He worked for the Candie family probably for the majority of his life, and got to climb the ranks. He also had the oppertunity to manipulate Calvin from a young age, making Calvin believe he really needed him. The second Calvin got shot, all of that vanished. While he was still spared from the most heavy duty, he was still a slave, and not a Free man. That means he’d probably be sold to another owner. Being old, and handicapped, chances are he wouldn’t survive long. So seeing Calvin getting shot, he probably knew that his (relatively) good life was over, since his lifes work just died. He probably cared for Calvin to some extent. But i think he realizes that with Calvin gone, he’s not a man in power anymore, just a slave in other peoples eyes.
Stephen served as a father figure to Calvin and despite of all the awful things that happened during that time, Stephen probably saw Calvin as his son.
They managed but it was very unlikely that he and Hildi would leave that house alive. Schultz basically condemned them both as well by shooting Calvin.
You had to have watched the build up to this point. Dr. Shultz spent every last energy dealing with candie and the handshake was the last straw. The gentleman Dr. Shultz was wouldn't allow him to "lose". He wouldn't be able to live with himself and was perfectly fine going out on top. After seeing that django was willing to die for her he knew there was no leaving alive. He even gave candie one last chance saying "you really want me to shake your hand?"
People wondering why he didn't shoot the man with the shotgun - I believe he was over all the violence and just accepted his fate. He had all those flashbacks prior about the slave being mauled to death and it deeply bothered him. What are your thoughts?
After reading the comments, I think it came down to everything. He was fed up he was disgusted He would refuse to be seen as inferior And part of him most likely saw the moment the gun was drawn, there was no way all three of them get out alive even if he did shake hands.
@@madmaxiemartialartsnerd485Exactly, i would have taken them all out soon as Django recognized his lady, no talk just action and taking the initiative first.
it is brutal world and Dr. Schultz was sick of it. I think he did not care to much for money from hunting bounties, he probably just wanted kill bad people, but eventually he got sick of it. Maybe also when he become friend with Django he realise black people are just people and that slavery world start to hunt him even more. Aslo his gun has two bullets I think in scene he used only one, he could kill or wound other guy if he wanted, but it seem he was just sick of this world.
Either the gun has only 1 or 2 at best rounds in the chamber ready to fire due to its tiny size for better concealment or that he realised he fucked up and there was no way out of this mess os he jsut accepted it his death knowing he did a good act and that he sticked to his morals.
I never understood why Schultz didn’t spin round and shoot that other dude holding the sawn off!?!? In the sherif bounty scene it clearly shows him fire that little hidden gun twice in a row
It could be that he knew he wouldn’t make it out of there alive after shooting Calvin (remember there were lots of other armed men there too), so he just accepted his fate.
Only Calvin deserved to be shot like that, even that was a stretch in terms of law and morality. Django acted in self defense after that. Well he kinda shot Mr. pooch pre-emptively after a legitimate self defense shooting but still
That little gun is a Derringer. I have one in 9mm and it literally hurts to shoot, plus it's single action. Still seems like he had enough time to cock the lever and fire at the guy with a shotgun. Derringers are also wildly inaccurate cuz of how short the barrels are
Oh for sure. Big Daddy let them do their business and walk away, but then went after them with a whole group of masked men. Candy would have done something similar. There’s no way someone like Candy would let some German and Black Man fool him like that and get away with it.
Schultz probably realized that money means nothing to Candie when he was willing to forgo $12000 to get his handshake. Candie's ego isn't going to let them get out alive, so he might as well kill Candie while he had the opportunity and give Django a chance, however slim, to fight his way out of there
@@safs3098 Hell nah. Calvin was a man child being manipulated by Stephen. He was worried that he would lose the power he had since Calvin died and was unsure if he could manipulate the latter's sister.
@@safs3098Back in those days, the most trusted slaves loved the slave masters and valued them even more than they did themselves because the slave masters made them feel important and superior to all the other slaves. When we are first introduced to Stephen, it’s clear how close they are because Calvin allows him to address and speak to him in ways no other slave would even think of, even almost as a family member until Stephen forgets his place. Stephen truly did love Calvin, but it’s also a product of the times. There’s a reason the closest slaves would rat out the others who wanted to flee
@StraightEdgeSieghart idk man, raising a child since he was a baby would most likely cause emotional attachment even if the child grows up to become a master. Stockholm syndrome is a thing, and imo Stephen had that, even tho he was legally Calvins slave but they had a pseudo father son relationship especially with the library scene because he had no reason to alert Calvin of their Ruse yet he still decided to rat out a fellow slave and rob her of her freedom rather because they were tricking someone he saw as his son. If all he wanted was power then he had no reason to prevent Calvin getting tricked, it wasn't his money or his slave
Rather shoot the evil piece of shit and die. Take him with me. Looking him dead in the eye as I put the bullet in his chest. Schultz knew Django was strong, and I think he had faith in him.
Some models of derringer style pistols fire both barrels simultaneously but as someone already pointed out there was an earlier scene in which he fired it twice so yeah he could've still shot the other dude...however the range on those are extremely small
It's at this point you realize Stephen and Candie are actually great friends. He doesn't need Candie to survive, he's too smart. But he loves him and respects him as does Candie.
What pisses me off about this scene: From the time he shots Calvin to when "Mr. Pooch" shoot Schultz is a LONG TIME. 20 seconds at LEAST. PLENTY of time for Shultz to use his derringer, which has been shown to be a TWO SHOT on Pooch, the only other armed person in the room. Why on Earth didn't he shoot Pooch? Or why at least didn't Tarantino have Schultz shoot Calvin twice? He HAD that second bullet, but didn't use it… because reasons. Grinds my gears.
Honestly that double tap would have made this scene way more amazing. That would have really hammered home how much he hated this racist bastard. He had two bullets and instead of using the other to save his life it was more worth to make sure Calvin dies for sure.
While I agree, it's unrealistic and frustrating (Shultz is a seasoned gunslinger), it is a part of his thematic resonance. I'll explain- it's mainly the name Calvin Candie. Candy. Shultz is a dentist, he says he "doesn't go for sweets". By shooting Calvin, he indulges, he breaks his tradition because he "couldn't resist". So he accepts his fate, spends his last moments apologizing, and receives his punishment. By the looks of it he dies instantly, where Calvin had to endure what probably felt like a lifetime of humiliation in a few seconds when a bullet pierced his heart. Shultz looks like he died the second he got hit, dead by impact and ballistic force. Sure, he could've put a cap in Mr. Pooch but a big part of the second and third act is Shultz becoming increasingly guilty and discomforted by what he has to see of the slave trade, much of it being far worse than he'd assumed. That's why D'artagnan's death sticks with him, he's sickened and not used to it. I think it breaks him, in a way, where, instead of swallowing his pride and leaving with his life intact, he chooses to course-correct his previous tolerance for slave owners and indulge in a series of pissing contests with Candie, endangering everyone including Django and Hilde, until he can't take it anymore and he digs in. He intentionally humiliates Calvin and essentially calls him out as fake to a room of people with just some clever knowledge, not caring about the consequences.
To everyone wondering why Schultz didn't shoot Mr. Pooch, too, since a Derringer can hold 2 rounds at most Keep in mind that a Derringer is wildly inaccurate and uses 9mm, which is why he's been using it at nothing but close range for the entire movie. He probably thought that he'd probably miss his shot at the range he was at, and even if it did hit, it wouldn't kill unless it was a direct shot to the head, which was unlikely. Though he could have at least tried, he probably knew that he was as good as dead anyway if that Derringer was all he had on his person. He'd rather go out following his morals and with his pride intact.
The scene is an analog to the "I want your apology" scene in The Irishman. Although there is a deal already made (or there is an intenion for the deal to be made in The Irishman), one side still demands a symbolic gesture which the other can't give, and it ruins the deal. In this case though, Dr. Schulz put Django's and Hildy's lives in grave danger. It was their pure luck Mr. Butch turned his shotgun to Dr. Schulz instead of shooting instinctively from both barrels, perhaps killing both of them
Everybody commenting about, ‘why didn’t he shoot dude with the sawed off’ is missing the real question. That being, did Schultz even think about the impact to Django and Hildy following his choice to shoot candie? Or did he not think it thru as he was consumed w hatred for candie? Regardless, in a realistic world, Schultz was effectively signing their death warrants.. and probably grisly deaths at that. The two of them are left just standing there unarmed surrounded by several armed slavers, with many more outside, whose master just got gunned down.
I think, even though Candy was a piece of shit, that Schultz provoked him by telling him about not wanting to see his face again. You can see in Candy's eyes his pride was hurt, even with all that money. All Schultz had to do was just leave. Candy was conceited and prideful, but Schultz death may have been prevented. Well, just my opinion. That stunt could have costed Django and Broomhilda's life wich beats all the purpose of the journey.
Shults was smart and intelligent. I think he knew that they wouldn't stay alive anyway. Candy would bot let them to leave. All that paper stuff was acting.
My question is had Dr Shultz just shook his hand? Would they have been able to leave. I’m guessing Leo’s character would find another way to be an abysmal winner after. Still guess we’ll never know!
@Fluffy Bunny I Never saw that movie but I assume you’re being sarcastic. Nevertheless, I found the reference. The above link served as the inspiration for the scene. FYI.
He had a gun that swung into his hand when he extended it for a handshake and Candy was both demanding a handshake and needed to be shot. What else could he have done.
Maybe not Calvin, but Steven, would have been able to get sceptical. A man with a free black man showing up to buy a random black maid? Nah, he would have known this is a rescue mission.
I watched Django last night and gotta say I’ve never hated someone’s character more like I hated Samuel L Jackson. Bro straight up snitched on his own race.
Then you'd be really upset to know that most African slaves were first sold to the westerners by their own people.. warring chiefdoms and border disputes resulted in a lot of captives, that they would sell to the Europeans for guns... hence why there were likely millions of slaves around during that time... a gutwrenching fact tbh..
If i summed up correctly : Calvin with a handshake, wanna prove he won, but dr Schultz, by refusing implicitly tell him to f*ck off and protect his honor... Am i right ?
idk, I think you have Calvin right. I think Schultz just thought Calvin was just the worst smug piece of racist shit, with an air of faux intellectualism and worldliness (wanting to be called Mon·sieur, naming the slave D'Artagnan yet not even knowing the author was black, playing Beethoven, acting as if he actually represented high society). A fraud, who didn't deserve to live and just had to die. Fuck Calvin Candie
Have you seen the film? Right before this scene, Schultz has a realisation that the so-called “superior” race is far more barbarous and cruel than he could have possibly imagined. He saw Calvin kill his slave with hunting dogs, and although let it pass as to not blow his cover, it stuck with him. Since the cover was blown, and Django’s relation to Broomhilda was unveiled, Schultz couldn’t control his hatred for Calvin and decided to kill him out of spite. He usually only kills for bounty, but this time, it was pure vengeance.
Like I get, he couldn’t resist but that was selfish of him, him doing that really could of gone horribly wrong for django and brehmhilda he really put him django in a terrible position having to one man army the whole farm
The thing is, if he had just thought it through a little more, he could have easily shot Calvin and then turned and killed the shotgun guy before he knew what was happening. He and Django both could have gotten out alive.
In this scene we see the most explicit characterization of Doctor Schultz as the disingenuous white savior complex acting out of pride. He tells Django from the beginning that he will help him out of his own pride, molds him in his own image by teaching him to be a killer and at the final moment when he has to choose between helping Django complete his life’s dream and personal pride he consciously chooses that.
True, he also puts Django and Broomhildas lives in jeopardy because of his own pride and that's all he ever cared about. Killing slavers and people in charge was more of an entertainment to him rather than being driven by a moral compass.
To be fair, he was traumatized by watching D'artagnan getting ripped to shreds, he feels that he has been outsmarted by this man that the absolutely despises, and has been made to pay a small fortune for Hildi. The handshake thing was the last straw. But yes, he should have considered Django and Hildi's lives.
SOoooooooo ORIGIN CLASS is GOOD 2022 it's also funny because it's like you see anything CRAPPY in USA xoxo YOU REALLY LOVE that TRAILER PARK I know xoxo 💋 Kolovani
Yeah I agree I’d be pissed too if I had to pay $12,000 when I could have only paid $300 but I really don’t get why he got so pissed he was trying to scam candy but thanks to Steven candy got him instead. Yeah it’s sucks but don’t hustle if you can’t handle being hustled. Still love dr Schultz and Django !!!!
It's JUST WOOD .. EVERYONE PASSES out because they say INDIANS look like WOOD I say not ones as mixed as me xoxo and TARANTINO we don't have that brown color anymore xoxo 💋 Kolovani
