Django why not shake hand

Answer: Schultz finds Candie to be a vile human being and being forced to shake his hand to seal the deal is just too much for him to accept. Candie never had any idea that Schultz would shoot him so he's not really risking anything in his mind. Candie is simply gloating over his opponent. Question : Django sneaks back into Candyland at the end of the movie, but the only residents that show back up are Candie's closest people from the funeral.

Did that mansion not just have a bunch of dudes capture Django in the shootout in the few scenes prior? Where are they now, or were those the men that Django killed in that cabin?

Answer: There were indeed a lot of people there for the shoot-out, and Django did kill many of them, but it's safe to assume that whoever was left alive was told to clear out of the mansion after the funeral, so that Candie's sister and close family could grieve in private. Question : What kind of pool table let alone pool game was Candie's bodyguard playing? It was smaller. Also, why was Sheba treated differently compared to Rocco and Coco? Answer: Sheba was sleeping with Calvin Candie.

She was his mistress. Question : How did Schultz know Big Daddy was coming after them? Why kill them instead of just hiding in the trees where they already were? Answer: Django and Schultz killed some of Big Daddy 's farmhands, and he wasn't going to let a freed slave kill some of his workers.

Schultz knew Big Daddy would come after them for what they did. Plus Django would never let go of a chance to kill a slave owner who was trying to kill him. Question : Here's something I'm confused about, and I've only seen this movie twice now; Why didn't Dr. Schultz shake Candie's hand to seal the deal? Also, why was Stephen , and Django himself, so disrespectful to their own kind?

I know Stephen was "raised" by white folk but Django? His comment to the doctor doesn't make much sense. I hope I explained these enough; I'm just a little confused about all this.

Answer: Dr. Schultz's pride coupled with his disdain for Candie wouldn't allow him to shake his hand. Get Known if you don't have an account. Why did Schultz decide to shoot Candie? They were in the clear. They had more or less won. He could have avoided the ordeal easily enough simply by shaking his hand and completing the deal, ensuring that Brunhilda and Django walked out of the house as free people.

His actions ended up putting them in grave danger. He acted on impulse, out of rising anger, and he didn't have self control at the time. Remember, he literally says he couldn't control his actions, right after he kills Candie. Shultz is a man of great restraint, having throughout the film showed consistent patience and cool calculation in his actions. Even when he was killing people, he never seemed to loose his cool or his temper, and always seemed methodical and calm in his actions.

Never did we see emotion take hold and drive him to kill, nor did we see him exhibit anger or malice toward the people he killed at the time of the encounters. Except with Candie. With Candie, Shultz was shaking and sweating and having flashbacks to seeing a slave torn apart by vicious dogs.

Shultz was at the end of his patience, he was barely containing his emotions, and finally they began to bubble forth as he went on his rant about Candie and expressed his disgust with the man.

And here is the crucial point -- Candie knew Shultz was losing his self control, and Candie intentionally pushed Shultz and sought to further antagonize him. Candie's sense of self-entitlement and domination made him feel certain he could demand subservience from Shultz and that the other man would meekly oblige. It never occurred to Candie that he was playing with fire, because he never thought he lacked control of the situation and of the people involved.

So he made a dreadful mistake of antagonizing a killer who was on the verge of being unable to restrain his deadly rage and impulses. Shultz was not, I feel, going to murder Candie until the very moment when he walked toward Candie and stuck out his hand. It was a choice made in the instant, without thought and with complete blind rage.

But -- and here is the telling part -- Shultz, just like Candie, was so certain of himself and consumed by a sudden sense of control over life and death that he was no longer even considering the safety of the situation or the consequences of his outcome. He, too, pushed another killer toward a deadly reaction. Once he committed the heat-of-the-moment murder, his fate was sealed, because he had that little single shot pistol up his sleeve, but he was cornered and facing an enemy with a shotgun.

But maybe that was the point -- maybe that's how upset Candie made him. ShaneFinneran not so much reckless as vengeful. Immediately prior to this he was contemplating via flashback the scene of dogs attacking and killing the runaway. His moral sense that Candie deserved to be punished may have neutralised his risk aversion and allowed vengeance to dominate.

That explanation makes sense, Matt - thanks. Although I took the flashback to the dogs as Schultz thinking "he's going to kill us anyway, so I might as well take him out.

ShaneFinneran I'm not so sure Candie was really going to kill them. In fact I wondered why he didn't and waited for something sinister to happen, but in the end I'm not that sure he was really going to kill them, but who knows. Christian now that you mention it, I might ask a second question about what Candie had in mind Show 1 more comment.

Tamar Tamar 41 1 1 bronze badge. I would guess the "grabbing it in a certain spot" is a reaction to Candie's grabbing it "full fisted. Interesting theory! But I think ShaneFinneran's theory makes more sense.

He didnt posion him. And no Candie wasnt going to kill them all anyways.
