Commentary on the movie "Django"

"Django" is a movie cast in the southern US around 1858 - before the civil war.  It's an interesting mix of brutality, humanity, stupidity, brilliance and kindness.  In my view, the hero was the German - he made a lasting difference in the life story of the main character Django (played brilliantly by Jamie Fox).  In the end, the bad guys got what they deserved and the good guys rode off in good spirits.  The hallmark moment in the movie, in my opinion, was when the German refused to shake the hand of the brutal bad guy - and then killed him knowing this would mean a certain death.   It was an act of "character"; doing what he felt was right in the face of a certain death because it was unconscionable to do otherwise.  When enough of this type of person exists in a society, evil ways do not prevail.  Good men stand against evil.
