Blogging "Django Unchained" (Heading to Candyland) - Fort Worth Weekly  /this is good.. am int in wh he is ldg to, w Stephen:  Stephen rises up out of his chair and comes out to greet the master. His eyes widen at the sight of Django riding in on a horse, then narrow with anger. I really should have had this character pegged from the start, but more on that later.   ..   Calvin greets Stephen, and the latter responds, “Yeah, yeah. Hello, my ass.” I could always feel audience bracing themselves for a typically Samuel L. Jackson loud and brash performance at this line, and I was bracing for one, too, when I first saw this, but this is something else, as we’ll see.   >>> what?  *

 This is where Calvin’s relatively enlightened nature makes him more dangerous. A racist fool like Big Daddy wouldn’t even perceive the double-dealing here, but Calvin does because he has no problem with the idea that a black man has temporarily outsmarted him, or with another black man pointing that out.

He accepts that an African-American can be intelligent, but does that bring him around to the idea that slavery is wrong? Of course not! He’s like Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds, a bad guy who realizes that the people he’s stepping on are no worse than himself, a realization that only allows him to trample those people more efficiently. Calvin knows that the system is unfair, but because that unfairness benefits him, he doesn’t care. How many people do we see around us who fit this description? It’s funny; you wouldn’t think of turning to Tarantino’s movies for a critique of capitalism, but Django Unchained offers up a pretty good one anyway. (And how different would this movie have looked if Mitt Romney had won the 2012 presidential election the month before it came out? I can’t imagine, and I’m glad I didn’t have to find out.)
