With Quentin I knew what would happen, still the decision to kill Candy by Schultz seemed stretched and illogical to me.

(4,945 posts)it showed that even a man as cool and collected as Schultz has a breaking point. In his case, it was Beethoven in the hands of savage slaveowners.
Also, Schultz had to die so that Django could act through his own agency.

(38,187 posts)There was nothing stretched nor illogical by Schultz killing Candy. He despised what he stood for and has watched him killing two men, then defend his racist position over and over again. Forced to shake the hand of a mass-murderer, Tarantino made this his masterpiece by 'I'm sorry, I had no choice.'
He had no choice. He had to kill the mass-murderer. I don't see what's illogical here unless you want to defend the character of 'Candy.'

(10,575 posts)without problems. But he made this rushed decision, it just seemed forced.
He could have walked away and killed him later without endangering himself, if he wanted to.
I guess the movie was too long anyway. Quentin had some problems with the end, but I don't know what they were.

(38,187 posts)just the 'Pa? Pa!' line. So there was actually no 'men in front of their children.' I'm not sure who's the one exaggerating right now, you or Tarantino.
The ending of the movie was about Django, not Schultz, and probably of blowing up the Southern mansion or not.
I still don't get why you think it was forced. I totally get it. He had to do it, and this was his chance to do it. He'd go down, too, but it was worth it. The fact of Candy reaching out his slimy hand left him no choice at this point.

(10,575 posts)That would have been a good time to kill Candie, if not for the guns in their backs.
Schultz just stays there with all the time in the world and says: "Sorry, I couldn't resist", after he shoots Candie.
He could've walked away, but Candie insisted to shake his hand, so he killed him. And now he is standing there as a target and just waiting for the guy a couple of feet away from him, to draw his weapon and kill him.

(18,497 posts)Just for the sheer delight. That ba--da--da--doing tooth.
And for giving me a reason to hate Leonardo DiCaprio other than his being obscenely beautiful....which isn't rational.

(38,187 posts)If you ask me, a masterpiece, and he had the guts to go where no one has gone before.
That's where 'Roots,' had it gone that way, would have be cancelled ... Your history, right here.
