DJANGO GETS REVENGE ON THE BRITTLE BROTHERS - DJANGO UNCHAINED

Published 2022-09-11
From the Academy-Award winning film, Django Unchained.

In 1858 Texas, brothers Ace and Dicky Speck drive a group of shackled black slaves on foot. Among them is Django, sold off and separated from his wife Broomhilda von Shaft, a house slave who speaks German and English. They are stopped by Dr. King Schultz, a German dentist-turned-bounty hunter seeking to buy Django for his knowledge of the three outlaw Brittle brothers, overseers at the plantation of Django's previous owner and for whom Schultz has a warrant. When Ace refuses to sell Django to Schultz and levels his gun at him, Schultz kills him and shoots Dicky's horse in order to pin him to the ground. Schultz insists on paying a fair price for Django before leaving the other slaves to kill Dicky. Schultz offers Django his freedom and $75 in exchange for help tracking down the Brittles.

While Big Daddy Bennett and Dr. Schultz discuss terms, Django is given a tour of the plantation by a house slave. During the tour, he asks the slave if three brothers by the name of Brittle are employed at the plantation. The slave is confused but says that three brothers named Schaffer were recently employed. Django spies one of the brothers overseeing the field slaves and another brother who is about to whip a slave for breaking eggs. Django has flashbacks to when the Brittles whipped Broomhilda while Django pleaded with them to not do it

After his ruse is discovered and Dr. Schultz is killed, Django is sent to be work in a limestone quarry for the rest of his life, but he escapes and returns to Candieland to avenge Dr. Schultz and D'Artangan. He ambushes the slave trackers.

Tarantino uses the plot device of actors doing something in rhythm like the ticking of a clock. The crack of the whip. This foreshadows that their time is running out and that bloodshed will ensue.

  • I'm always grateful that Will Smith rejected this role. Jamie f//king killed it!

    Django is a good student of language. Five seconds after learning a new word, he uses it perfectly.
  • That goofy fumbling with that gun knowing Django is going to kill him if he doesn't kill him first, gets me every time. 😂😂😂
  • @SchrodingerMil
    I will never get over the fact that Schultz doesn't assume they're the Brittle Brothers. He shows up, Django killed two people and he just goes "Who were they?"
  • @ScottDLR
    The blood sprayed on the white cotton is a brilliant touch
  • @lainwakura
    "I'm positive he dead."

    Best line in the whole movie.
  • @silvagto
    “I like the way you die, boy.”

    One of my favorite lines 😂😂😂
  • @gojeta1982
    I have never felt more satisfaction in watching a character get his revenge than this. It's absolutely epic. And the music playing at 4.13 is perfect.
  • @Paulxj-
    "you mean you wanna dress like that?" Cracks me up every time. The writing in this film is great.
  • @waifuking6608
    Love the zero hesitation to take the shot on the last brother when he got confirmation. Excellent scene.
  • @steph6498
    The way django is trying to reason with the brittle brothers is incredible acting! You can hear the desperation and whole “you know me long time now” and talking about how the boss won’t approve of a house slave having scars over her body it’s horrible because you know whatever he says makes no blind bit of difference. Seriously an amazing script.
  • @genuinesaucy
    "I'm positive he dead" is such a great post-mortem one-liner, not just because it's badass, but because it tells you something about Django as a character. He's uneducated, he doesn't know what "positive" means, but he's still incredibly smart; as soon as he learns a new word, he finds a way to make a snappy joke with it. Wonderful little moment.
  • @chrissycuz
    I love how Foxx delivers “I like the way you die boy”… just perfect. Tarantino also a master of the use of music to enhance scenes
  • @Katdancing
    The flashbacks in this movie are so awesome. They give the audience immediate sympathy to Django and we want him to get his revenge
  • The way he gets extremely intense once he finds out Little Jody is getting whipped always gets me. Django is a wonderfully drawn western-revenge archetype.
  • @ghoraxe9000
    That whip scene was done too dam well... Made me tear up..I can't believe our people survived this level of oppression.. it's a miracle.
  • This film perfectly captured the formula of an old school western. Creating a hero with a motivation you can sympathize with who satisfyingly wins in the end.
  • @Worlock1993
    Christoph Waltz's acting talent is amazing, notice how Schultz is kinda indifferent to the killing of the first two brothers but at the thought of Ellis getting away and him losing part of the bounty makes his voice crack. Its the little details that give character meaning
  • @ianl.4470
    There are very few movie scenes that can make my blood boil with rage, eyes tear up with sadness and vengence, and then satisfyingly resolve those emotions within 6 minutes. A real masterpiece - thank you Tarantino. This movie, along with others like Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan.... will be part of my kid's education on the depths of human depravity.

    The dolly shot of Django standing triumphantly after calling out to John Brittle as the frame goes from full a body hero pose to a classic cowboy shot cut off above the knees. With the horns blaring out, is just such a great representation of the character coming into power. The slave turned apprentice, now finally becoming the hero of his own story. About to avenge the pain of his loved one. So much emotional subtext.
