6. Why Employ Such An Unnecessarily Complicated Plan In Order To Rescue Broomhilda? - Django Unchained
The Plot Hole: Quentin Tarantino's absurdly violent and controversial tells the story of a former bounty hunter, Django, and his best friend, Dr. King Schultz, a German dentist, as they try to reclaim Django's wife, Broomhilda, who is being held captive on a plantation. Anybody who has both a brain and has seen
Django Unchained probably found themselves asking the same question when the movie finally decided to be over, though: why didn't Django and Dr. Schultz just approach Calvin Candie and tell him that they were looking for a slave that spoke German? It seems even more bizarre when we learn that Candie is totally up for sellin' Broomhilda anyway.
The "One Line" That Could've Solved It..."Of course, we could approach Monsieur Candie and try to buy Broomhilda outright, though if he denies our request, we'll have quickly eradicated our options." - Dr. King Schultz Yes, read that line in Christoph Waltz's voice and you'll realise that I've been the one writing his QT dialogue since the
Inglourious Basterds years. You don't need me to clarify that that's a lie, of course, but in case you do, I did not write Christoph Waltz's dialogue at any point, and I probably never will (aw). Anyway, had Tarantino added in a little dialogue cue of this sorts, it would have addressed the issue in enough detail as to make this plot hole of less value. If Schultz would have suggested it would have left them without options, we might've better understand the relatively insane nature of his scheme.
