Part 26 | And That's Why Calvin Candie Is Crazy! (3/5) | Django Unchained (2012)

"Django Unchained" is Quentin Tarantino's bold and stylized Western masterpiece set in the pre-Civil War South. The film follows Django, a freed slave, who teams up with a German bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz. Together, they embark on a dangerous mission to rescue Django's wife from a sadistic plantation owner. The narrative unfolds as they navigate the brutal landscape of the slave trade, seeking justice and revenge against those who perpetrate cruelty and oppression.

the curious thing is that Leo was explaining all of this before the cameras started rolling

[apfelstrudelleckerya]

Why they don't kill us ?
Django : 💀

[thatguybehindtheglass]

This is easily my favorite scene.
"...and it wouldn't've taken me no 50 years to do it neither."
Love his delivery.

The algorithms request I watch Django three times a week.

Its called "learned helplesness" today and it explains the psychology behind this scene. Beyond that, maybe some kind of power hierarchy for being above the other slaves to explain why he felt above them.

That’s nice Leo, but your line was “Please pass the salt”

[ChadKakashi]

Leo: “Lemme prove how racist I am with this pseudo-science demonstration”

Love it 😂

[virtualmedusa]

The same man who played an autistic boy in Gilbert Grape plays a cruel slave owner in Django Unchained. DiCaprio is really a great actor, playing such a convincing sadistic mean crackpot, it's easy to see why the Doctor lost it and shot him rather than shake his hand.

I think what Calvin misunderstood here is that old Ben valued his life more than the death of his “masters”

[yeojlekanzo]

“Why don’t they kill us?”
Old Ben: “💀”

[megaquand]

What’s real funny is this theory was debunked like 10 years before this movie takes place

[TheSaphireKatana]

"Bro nice argument, can you back it up with a source?"

[ricky]

Great improv from Leo they didn’t actually have any scripts for this scene

[simonnixon]

Leo played this role so well
Along with the rest of the cast this film was sure to be successful

There was an experiment where dogs were put in an enclosure with a short wall and one side was electrified. The dogs always stayed on the safe side. When both sides were electrified the dogs eventually became helpless and wouldn't even try to leave the cage. This idea of learned helplessness is explained later in the movie by Candie and shown by the 'hotbox'. The concept of learned helplessness was also used by the CIA in getting approval for torture programs (or "enhanced interrogation procedures").

[MrAirblown]

The acting level in this entire movie is top notch for everybody's part in it. Quentin Tarantino captured their best from everybody in this flick .

[collinaills]

I love that they try and make a science so they could make a excuse for slavery

[donaldreed]

Sometimes, an actor/actress will hit it just right. I got King Joffre Lanister vibes
