First, the character setting
1. Identity

Following the dentist on the path of a bounty hunter, Django learned Schultz's fast marksmanship and his sense of self was awakened and released.
Positive values: freedom, equality, bravery
Negative values: oppression, enslavement, killing
Two, ten sequences
1. Opening events
On a cold winter night, a pair of white brothers rode a few unclothed black men on horseback. At this time, the dentist Schultz slowly appeared in a carriage, facing the unkind white brother, Schultz calmly spoke his humorous language, and after confirming who Django was, the electric flint shot the white brother and injured the white brother.
While taking Django away, Schultz gives the remaining blacks a chance of their own choice—and unsurprisingly, the white brother is shot and killed by the blacks without hesitation.
A very good opening, on the one hand, makes the character of Schultz very distinct, on the other hand, shows the audience the low status of black people in the context of that era, and the almost irreconcilable conflict with white people.
2. Pavement events
Schultz and Django ride to a small town, where Schultz deliberately causes trouble to lure the mayor in, and then shoots each other – it turns out that Schultz is a dentist on the surface, but in fact a bounty hunter, and the mayor who was shot is a wanted criminal.
They then went to a manor where three wanted men who had abused Django and his wife worked as hired workers. After arriving at the location, Django recognized them, and this time Django became the perpetrator, and with a leather whip and a gun, he killed 3 white people in the white manor.
I have to say that it is very deflating and enjoyable, although the killing is not right, but the screenwriter gives Django enough motivation to let the audience support him in doing so - when the three wanted criminals are found, they are abusing and beating the black slaves. This large segment further deepens Schultz's unconventional style of playing cards, and the look in the eyes of the white man when he looks at Django on the horse in the movie also shows the contradiction between the black and white races all the time.
An almost exaggerated blue suit
3. Encouraging Incidents
During the day, the owner of the manor intends to sneak up on the protagonists at night, but is countered by the witty Schultz, blowing the other party into the wilderness and fleeing. After this incident, Schultz threw an olive branch to Django and asked him if he wanted to be a bounty hunter with him, and Django had a share of the bounty. Crucially, Schultz promises to help Django find his wife and rescue her from the whites.
The character of Schultz is particularly special, he seems to have jumped out of the whole era at that time, he respected Django, and there was no racial discrimination at all. Django was in particular, even if he was mired in the mire, even though he was despised by black, but still coldly rode on his horse to flaunt the white crowd, and he picked out for himself an almost pompous blue suit, like a prince ready to rescue his wife. The conflict escalates, and the charm of the characters begins to appear.
4. Progress events
With the efforts of Django and Schultz, django's wife was finally found, but at this time she was in the manor of the fourth richest man in the local area, Candy (little plum, yes, Titanic's little plum), and for such a profligate person, buying a small business of ordinary black slaves was not enough to arouse his interest.
So they disguised themselves as black traders who were proficient in fighting, and successfully met Candy for a high price of 12,000.
The appearance of Xiao Lizi not only puts a lot of pressure on the protagonist, but also makes the audience start to fear such an absurd and tyrannical rich man. The lavish hall, the fine wine, the women, the followers, and the two black men who fought to the death like beasts all teased the nerves of the audience, and they all stirred the anger in Django's heart at all times.
5. Turning events
Candy takes Schultz and Django to dinner at his farm's estate and signs them off for a sky-high contract. But on the way, they encounter a black slave who has been captured because of a failed escape, and in front of Django, Candy has the dog bite him alive.
It was not only the whites who harbored malice toward the negroes, but also the negroes themselves, and the black slaves looked at django on horseback with no less anger and jealousy in their eyes than the whites. At this point in the story, the factors that hinder the protagonist begin to change, from money to Candy himself.
6. Re-turn the event
Upon arriving at the manor, Schultz asks Candy to arrange for someone to take her to his room on the grounds that he has an interest in Django's wife (Schulz is German and Django's wife is one of the few Black Slaves who speak German. At this point, Django finally met his wife.
Everything seems to be moving in a good direction, and the protagonist is only one step away from success.
7. Crisis events
Candy's manor housed not only his sister, but also an elderly and unusually cunning black butler. It was this butler who, at dinner, saw that there must be a connection between Django's wife and Django! So he tells Kandy all this, and Candy is so angry that he forces Schultz to buy Django's wife for 10,000 taels and forces Schultz to shake hands with him.
After enduring for a long time, Schultz refused to shake hands and instead killed the invincible Candy with a pistol! The whole manor was in disarray, and Schultz was shot and killed in the chaotic battle...
Finally, in the midst of the chaos, the black butler uses Django's wife as a threat and successfully captures Django.
Schultz's shooting surprised everyone and pushed the event into an uncontrollable chaos, with the protagonist's biggest crisis coming. Schultz is still so unconventional to play cards, shaking hands can be said to be peaceful, but shaking hands himself will lose, and the reason why he chooses to shoot is more that he does not recognize Kandy from the bottom of his heart, and everything Candy does to black people is seriously beyond Schultz's bottom line.
8. Import events
Django is unsurprisingly tortured after being captured, but Candy's sister does not want him to die so easily and decides to sell him to another rich man's mine, because it is a purgatory on earth. On the way to being trafficked, Django managed to escape.
Schultz was killed, his wife captured, and he himself became a prisoner of the order, and the night of the soul came. But at this time, Django is no longer the black slave at the beginning, he can play the white people around, and he can shoot them in an instant. Unlike the godless black slaves in the cage, this body has an independent soul in its shell.
9. Climactic events
Django returns to the farm estate, and when Candy's sister, the black butler and others return from the funeral, Django comes out of the shadows, 6 bullets solve 6 people, and after killing the black butler, Django blows up the manor.
This paragraph is really cool, whether it is dialogue or action, all clean and neat. The director also understands the psychology of the audience, the most hated black butler, not understood by Django's shot, but slightly tortured. It is impossible to imagine that his whole life has stepped on the bones of many compatriots to get to where he is today.
10. Ending event
Django and his wife left the manor and lived happily together.
The ending is just a giveaway to the audience's emotions, there is nothing to say.
