The Django Under Discipline And Punishment

Django Unchained, written and directed by Tarantino Quentin, hit the screen in North America in 2012. It is an American Spaghetti style film whose theme is about black slaves. Dr. King Schultz, a bounty hunter from German, buys and frees Django, a black slave, from the slaver, and trains him to be an excellent bounty hunter, helping Django save his wife. Django Unchained, nominated for many prizes, has won the Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor Award in the 85 th Oscar Academy Award.Combined with the slavery history of black people in America before the Civil War, this thesis intends to analyze the awakening of free consciousness of black slaves from the perspective of discipline and punishment. The first chapter analyses the discipline and punishment reflected among the black people in Django Unchained. It is the discipline and punishment that make black slaves obey their master. The plantation here is transformed into a prison. The second chapter is about the help and liberation from Dr. King Schultz, a bounty hunter from German. But the liberation Schultz gives to Django does not free him totally. Born to be a slave, Django has no courage and consciousness to free himself, which is due to the discipline and punishment inflicted on black slaves. Chapter three explains the resistance of the black slaves reflected in the film, explores black slaves’ free consciousness and indicates for black slaves a road to freedom but through the awakening of their free consciousness and struggle of them.
