the very opening scene, where schultz frees django, he blasts slave trader #1 then hands the rifle and the key over to the other slaves and encourages them to blast slave trader #2. which they do. and pretty much every slave owner they come across throughout the film gets it likewise, right down to calvin candie's sweet southern belle sister. no, the confederate flag gets it immediately and consistently throughout this film. like i said before, there is no redemption for the slave-owning south here, no hint of the begrudging respect or pity found in most films of this subject matter. only an incredibly refreshing moral clarity. they are villains, all of them, and in true hollywood style they get what's coming to them.
