The cinematic originality of Django’s symbolic act flickers and is gone, and with it, I imagine, would fade Baldwin’s enjoyment.The master position shows its totalizing reach during a conversation around the campfire, when Django tells Schultz his wife’s German name: Broomhilda. Addressing the 1968 assembly of the World Council of Churches, Baldwin faced the theological root of racism and the tragic possibility of its dissolution head-on: “The destruction of the Christian church as it is presently constituted,” Baldwin proclaimed, “may not only be desirable, but necessary.”As we place Tarantino’s script alongside this one, we notice some glaring and all-important differences: Baldwin’s world makes no room for Dr. Schultz, no room for the man in gray. “And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth,” he quotes aloud, as the whip’s crack resounds in the pause between words. In the violent moment where Candie threatens to bash Hilda's skull with a hammer, Schultz agrees to the raised price in a breath. “The Slave is not a laborer, but an Anti-Human,” he argues, “over and against which ‘Humanity’ establishes, and continually renews its coherence.” In short, “No slave, no world.” Take away forced labor, and the slave position remains.Baldwin’s film does not begin in the garden before slavery. The quest to save Broomhilda takes Schultz and Django into Calvin Candie’s Candieland, the most ruthless of all slave owners, who uses his land as a playpen for violence against black bodies. A more compelling version of Dr. Schultz would have bent more toward Tarantino’s American hero (and, in fact, one of Baldwin’s American heroes): John Brown. Proud of Django's skill, and reluctant to let him risk his life by attempting to rescue Once winter is finally over, Schultz accompanies Django to Mississippi, where the auction in which the latter and his wife had been sold and separated took place. And earlier that day, his commitment to staying in character as part of the scheme resulted in the execution of another black slave, by way of a pair of vicious dogs.
It is the vengeful Baldwin without the tragic Baldwin. Tarantino probably decided from the beginning that Schultz would have to die so that Django can take over the heroics for the final part of the film. Upon meeting Calvin Candie, he watched stoically as a Mandingo fighter was given a hammer and was forced to end another black slave’s life. Schultz captures Django inside a white/European/masculine hero myth. So, Schultz comes up with an idea that Schultz and Django would pretend to be slavers, Schultz being interested in getting into Mandingo fighting and Django being the Mandingo trainer. What looks like Schultz beginning to see Django is actually Schultz recognizing himself in the place of Django’s body. Consider the wide view of Django’s story: Schultz began as Django’s benevolent master. Henry Louis Gates Jr. “Tarantino ‘Unchained,’ Part 3: White Saviors,” 23. Emerging from the black night is a white man, wearing a gray three-piece suit and winter coat: Dr. King Schultz. Like a giant edifice, Brittle’s power crumbles as he falls to ground. He witnesses against cheap visions of post-racial societies and projects of assimilation that hide antagonisms and histories. Django is the hero; he needs to be the one to get revenge despite all odds. King Schultz came from a wealthy family in Germany (presumably Düsseldorf, Rhine Province, Kingdom of Prussia) and is highly cultured as well as very intelligent. . In Django Unchained, how come Dr Schultz didn't just say "Hey Calvin, I heard you have a slave that can speak German, I'll buy her for $5,000"? Schultz was born in a very wealthy family in Germany. Knowing that Candie’s men will immediately exact revenge, Schultz turns to Django as if to say, “Goodbye,” before the blast of a shotgun sends him flying into the bookshelf. With a Napoleonic air, Calvin Candie’s power manifests itself most gruesomely in the purchase of Mandingo fighters: black slaves who are forced to fight other black slaves to the death, all for white peoples’ enjoyment.After Schultz’s theatrical scheme to free Broomhilda fails, he sits in the parlor listening to a harpist play Beethoven while the images of sacrificed black bodies fill his mind. More triumphant than Django’s revenge is the totalizing temptation of mastery. She was the daughter of Wotan, the god of all gods.” After she disobeys, the mythic Broomhilda’s father places her on the top of a mountain, surrounded by a circle of hellfire and protected by a fire-breathing dragon. The man known as the “smiling preacher” earns … Tarantino then pushes the religious symbolism to absurdity: Big John literally wears the Bible on his own body. . Baldwin’s struggle to articulate freedom from the world’s underbelly turns us toward the “disreputable Hebrew criminal, crucified between two thieves.”7. Django would have had no problem walking away broke and outsmarted. She will stay there, Dr. Schultz says, “until a hero arises, brave enough to save her.”“Does a fella arise?” Django asks, whose life, from the perspective of Dr. Schultz, is being narrated back to him.“Yes, Django, as a matter of fact he does.
