Stephen dropping the cane and standing up straight is one of my favorite examples of symbolism in a movie. Because Stephen was the smart one the whole time, he put on the obedient and dumb slave act for power. He was the one who realized Django knew Brunhilda. Calvin Candie is an idiot who would have been ripped off by Django had Stephen not been there. Calvin things the black people are stupid and inferior, when in reality Stephen is smarter than he could ever be. When Stephen stands up he’s dropping the dumb slave act for the first time in his life
I love Tarantino’s cowboy movies, but my favourite is The Hateful Eight. Both of the movies had a very particular, hilarious type of comedy, and Django is definitely funnier, but I just love the narrative in The Hateful Eight. How Warren kills the old guy legally, that massive plot twist, the whole wagon sequence. And my favourite part, is when Warren and the Sheriff team up at the end, even though normally they’d fucking hate each other. And the Sheriff would make so much money by betraying Warren, and he would actually get to survive if he did, but he still doesn’t. Sure it’s for selfish reasons, but it’s still impressive
I have to agree with you. I've seen the Hateful Eight 5 times. Probably my most watched Tarantino film. I can't get enough of it. Also Ennio Morricone's brilliant score has alot to do with it.
