Will was right and this is what many of us said in the "Spike goes in on Django" Thread. Django WAS NOT the lead in the movie, Waltz was. This is why Waltz got all the awards and nominations cause QT wrote the movie really about him. The needed to call it "Dr King Schultz Unchined". Jamie was nothing but a sidekick the whole damn movie. And don't give me the last 15 minutes, that was a weak attempt to make Jamie the hero. The fact is the movie died when Candy died and guess who killed Candy? Of course the White Savior. QT didn't want to have Django be the real hero of the movie.
Like I said in my review. Django was average at best and Black People who went at Spike should be ashamed. I'm glad Will didn't take it. As for Will taking more challenging roles. I thought "7 Pounds" was different for him. "Bagger Vance" and "Wild, Wild, West" were his worst roles to me. "6 Degrees" he was young and trying to get in. "Hancock" had issues but the fact is it was a Black Super Hero film with no back story or orgin and he grossed more than major Super Hero Blockbusters.
Will understands success and not doing Django didn't hurt his career. You think they would of given Will an Oscar for Django? LMAO, How many Black people won anything for Django? Oh that's right, NONE outside of the NAACP. Will made the right choice. "MIB 3" did what it did. "After Earth" will be huge this summer and we got "Bad Boys 3" on deck. Then he can do a drama after that. Jamie took the role cause he was desperate. He's had flop after flop. Will is in a different box. Will can't afford to Flop so he chooses his role carefully. If Will flops it's huge news, if Jamie flops nobody cares. I acutally think Django would of been even more successful if Will was the lead cause it would of done even better worldwide. I also glad Will turned down The Matrix. Neo isn't a charismatic character. Keanu was born for that role. Will might of been a little too goofy, lol.

You and I might interpret the scene in different ways. I think the scene occurred the way it did to show that Schultz (spelled right?) and Django were truly friends. Schultz had nothing to lose by just shaking DiCaprio's hand and leaving but he felt a deep sense of disdain for Candy. What might have started off as a convenient business relationship between Schultz and Django (as Schultz admits in the beginning) turns in to a real friendship in a time when blacks were regarded as inferior. Schultz was offended on Django's behalf and knew whoever killed Candy would also get killed so he sacrificed his life so Django and his chick could live. At least that's how I interpreted the scene
