* On that note, the Marshal with whom Django and Shultz spend the winter deserves a mention. He'd have to be blind to not notice Django is black (and he obviously isn't) but, like every other white man in the film barring Schultz, does he so much as bat an eye at Django riding a horse, carrying a gun, or killing white folk? [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Nope.]] When he and Schultz return with some fresh bounties, all he does in greet them both warmly and invite them in for some hot coffee and some leftover birthday cake (which he himself calls 'pretty good').

* Right at the end, Django has a flashback to Schultz telling him that he's going to be "the fastest gun in the south". This is heartwarming for two reasons; one, it shows just how much respect and hope Schultz has for Django, since he's basically admitted (without any rancour at at all,) that Django is better than him. Two, it means that [[spoiler: the last image we have of Schultz is the fatherly mentor, rather than the pathetic, huddled corpse that had just been tossed aside in a shed with its face turned to the wall]].

He politely thanks one for raising the lantern to help him write, treats them as credible witnesses in a time where the word of a black man would count for nothing, and frees them when he leaves with Django. Just to show not every white man in that movie was a racist bastard.

*** A nice touch in this scene is that he has dressed down for her arrival to fool the other Candielanders into thinking that she's there for his pleasure, but the second they're alone, he begins re-dressing, even apologising that he's misplaced his tie, just to make sure she's aware he doesn't want...that.

* When Schultz speaks to Broomhilda in his room, she is clearly on edge, no doubt assuming she is about to be raped. However, throughout the entire scene, Schultz treats her very kindly, pouring her a drink, and chatting amicably with her in German. He then reveals that he's there to help her escape and seems genuinely happy at the prospect of reuniting her and Django. For someone who has no real reason to care, it's clear Schultz is invested in seeing his friend rescue his wife.

** "It's me, baby." That look of utter joy and relief on her face is a welcome sight considering all the horrors the two lovers have faced so far.



*** And the whole time Schultz is telling the story, Django is sitting by his feet listening and asking questions like an eager little kid, adding to the father-son relationship. Awww...
** After taking Django to the saloon, Schultz pours him a beer and immediately makes it clear to Django that he ''hates'' slavery, cementing their relationship early on as one of partners and equals.



* We see Django stick an empty bottle into a pile of snow in order to practice his quick-draw skills. We see him shoot it dead on. The camera pulls into a wideshot. We discover that Django had inserted the bottle into a snowman. ''Django and Schultz built a snowman together.''

** An unusual one but when Schultz is aiming at Big Daddy, he notices Django watching him eagerly. He turns to him and hands him the rifle for him to use. It feels a lot like a father letting his son shoot. A highly irregular father-son relationship but a heartwarming one regardless.
