If you insist

Write a film review for the first time, dedicated to the most meaningful movie I have seen this year.
Jiang Ge thinks that the dentist is not a good person, because the dentist asked him to kill his father in front of the child, even though he killed a damn villain. In that deceitful society, it is impossible to be a simple good person in the high-risk profession of a bounty hunter.
Judging from the first half of the film, this dentist from Germany is smart, cunning, and bold. In the face of dangerous situations time and time again, he can always calm down the dangers until his duel with Leonardo.
Lao Lai is a treacherous and cruel slave-owner businessman. He has been cruel and numb since he was a slave-owner. He adapts to the rules of the game in this environment and plays very well because he also has his own principles.
In this duel, Lao Lai won. The process was quite exciting, and Lao Lai's proficient acting skills even more slavishly portrayed the treacherousness of the slave owner and merchant.
At this point, both parties played according to the rules. Although there was a lot of money in his wallet, Lao Lai only took the 12K he deserved. What he enjoyed more was the victory. As a loser, the dentist also accepted the failure very frankly.
Then came the climax of this movie, which is also the most thought-provoking part of the whole movie. Lao Lai was complacent as a winner, and generously invited the dentist to eat cakes, and also let the musicians play the German musician Beethoven's To Alice, showing the winner's tolerance and respect for the opponent. Hearing this tune, the dentist fell into deep thought, and a picture of the gladiator named Daddario being torn apart by a vicious dog emerged in his mind. Both Beethoven and Alexandre Dumas are pioneers in advocating freedom and equality. How can To Alice be the ending theme of this dirty deal? ! And Daddario's name as a gladiator is simply an insult to Dumas.
A feeling of grief and anger arose in the dentist's psychology, and at the same time, this sense of disgust made him decide to draw a clear line with Lao Lai-I'm sorry, I am not the same type of person as you. So he stopped the musician from continuing to play, and angrily walked into the study. Lao Lai felt that the dentist was irritated because he lost the matchup. He walked into the study to comfort the dentist, so that he could enjoy the sense of accomplishment brought by the victory. But he was wrong. In his eyes, the dentist was just a loser who couldn't afford to lose, but in the eyes of the dentist, he was a despicable winner.
Lao Lai is angry. Everyone is playing this game according to the rules of the game. As a winner, Lao Tzu already respects you. Why can't you give me respect? So he insisted that the dentist shake hands to complete the transaction.
When the dentist stretched out his hand and walked to the steps, I thought he was going to give in. He knew the consequences of firing this shot. But for this question of principle, he still couldn't hold back.
If it were me, would I shoot this shot? I don't know, probably not. Admire him! Then there was a touch of sentimentality, for the bloody nature that was fading away.
The following plot is very clichéd, but it still can’t stop me from giving this movie five points

    The old "Ginger" Franco Niro talks with the new "Ginger" Jamie Fox. If you cut off Jiang's little brother, there would be no Xia Ford from "Black Street Detective".

    There are still some charms of the movie, especially the first half, but the whole movie does not seem to be particularly brilliant. Read it again after the Chinese character comes out. PS: There are a few soundtracks that are really unsatisfactory, and they are completely out of Quentin's standard.

Django Unchained quotes

  • Dr. King Schultz: On one hand, I despise slavery. On the other hand, I need your help. If you're not in a position to refuse, all the better. So, for the time being, I'm gonna make this slavery malarkey work to my benefit. Still, having said that, I feel guilty...

    [pause]

    Dr. King Schultz: So, I would like the two of us to enter into an agreement.

    [Schultz leans in on Django]

    Dr. King Schultz: I'm looking for the Brittle brothers.

    [Django stares at him]

    Dr. King Schultz: However, at this endeavor, I'm at a slight disadvantage insofar as I don't know what they look like.

    [pause]

    Dr. King Schultz: But you do. Don't ya?

    Django: [Django leans in on Schultz] Oh, I know what they look like, all right.

    Dr. King Schultz: Good. So here's my agreement: You travel with me until we find them...

    Django: [Django smiles] Where we goin'?

    Dr. King Schultz: I hear at least two of them are overseeing up in Gatlinburg, but I don't know where. That means we visit every plantation in Gatlinburg till we find 'em. And when we find them, you point them out, and I kill them.

    [Django smirks and nods]

    Dr. King Schultz: You do that, I agree to give you your freedom; $25 per Brittle brother.

  • Dr. King Schultz: Mister Candie, normally I would say "Auf wiedersehen," but since what "auf wiedersehen" actually means is "'till I see you again", and since I never wish to see you again, to you, sir, I say goodbye!

    [Dr. Schultz turns around to leave with Django and Broomhilda]

    Calvin Candie: [Candie sulks in his library chair for a brief moment as he watches Schultz walk out. He then raises his hand to stop the doctor] Hmm! One more moment, Doctor!

    Dr. King Schultz: [stops and faces Candie] What?

    Calvin Candie: [Candie raises out of his chair] It's a custom here in the South once a business deal is concluded that the two parties shake hands. It implies good faith...

    Dr. King Schultz: I'm not from the South...

    [Schultz turns again]

    Calvin Candie: But you are in my house, Doctor! So, I'm afraid I must insist...

    Dr. King Schultz: Insist? On what? That I shake your hand?

    [pause]

    Dr. King Schultz: Then I'm afraid I must insist in the opposite direction!

    Calvin Candie: [Calvin walks closer to the German doctor] You know what I think you are?

    Dr. King Schultz: What you think I am? No, I don't!

    Calvin Candie: I think you are a bad loser!

    Dr. King Schultz: And I think you're an abysmal winner!

    Calvin Candie: Never the less, here in Chickasaw County, a deal ain't done till the two parties have shook hands. Even after all that paper signin', don't mean shit you don't shake my hand.

    Dr. King Schultz: And if I don't shake your hand, you're gonna throw away $12,000? I don't think so!

    Calvin Candie: Mr. Pooch, if she tries to leave here before this nigger-loving German shakes my hand, you cut her ass down!

    [Butch turns around to Broomhilda and clicks his gun. Django stands in front of Broomhilda to protect her in case she gets shot; he looks at Schultz. Dr. Schultz glares back at Django with an angry look on his face]

    Dr. King Schultz: [Dr. Schultz turns back at Candie] You REALLY want me to shake your hand?

    Calvin Candie: [Candie holds out his hand and smirks] I insist!

    Dr. King Schultz: Oh, if you insist...

    [Schultz smiles and walks up to Candie, pretending to willfully shake his hand; he instead raises a tiny gun hidden under his sleeve and shoots Candie in the chest]
