Django Unchained Question

[Thai Domi]

Why didn't Schultz just offer to buy Broomhilda outright instead of the whole mandigo scam? He could've just said he wanted to buy a German speaking girl and probably got her for a good price, since she was scarred up.

I agree. She was slave. Sure Leo would have charged him double or triple her worth if he knew he wanted HER. But he wouldn't have got no 12k for her.

Calvin Candie wouldn't have given him the time of day to buy a useless slave

He offered a lot of money for his prize slave fighters to get Calvin interested and invite him to the ranch and that's where he would make the offer for her as a throw in slave.

because there was still like an hour or longer left in the movie when he got to Leos house.

Django could have been such a great film if they just wrapped it up after Waltz and Candie fiasco

Instead they extended it longer which was pointless imo Jamie could not carry the film on his own

The money wasnt enough

Stephen literally says this verbatim by the fireplace. “You wouldn’t have paid no mind to that but that 12 thousand made you real friendly didn’t it?” “Yes…yes, it did.”

It’s a pretty ridiculous plot device just to add a third act but they did explain it at least.

There was a really good 90 minute movie somewhere in that near 3 hour mess.

Exactly. It’s almost as if there was a scene in which this was completely explained in the movie. Maybe a scene where Christopph Waltz explains to Django this very thing.
