The audience's first introduction to Candieland finds Dr. Schultz,
Django, Candie, Candie's lawyer, and a dozen-plus of Candie's slaves
happening upon a frightened runaway slave up in a tree as vicious dogs
haunt the tree's base, bark and wait to rip the slave limb from limb.
It's a pivotal, excruciating scene that finds Schultz disgusted by the
horrific display, while Django inhabits the utter darkness of his
role-playing in order to sell Candie on his background. Our hero is
complicit in the unspeakable brutality against his own people, and all
we can do is look on in horror.
