The Ultimate Sacrifice
Tarantino’s amazing talent for directing is on display once again through the unspoken actions of Dr. Schultz in Django Unchained. Dr. Schultz, played by Christoph Waltz, is a dentist turned bounty hunter who freed Django and helped rescue his wife, Broomhilda. In his death scene, many viewers may think that Dr. Schultz was taken by surprise. In reality, that is far from the truth.
Dr. Schultz always keeps his important papers in his front pocket throughout the whole movie. However, he can be seen moving Broomhilda’s freedom papers to his back pocket before he shoots Candie and dies as a result. Because of this, we know that Dr. Schultz knew the risk he was taking and was willing to die for his friend Django.
