Race representation in films

There are many films that have been made that have represented races in different ways, both positive  and negative. In this film, Django Unchained, there is a negative representation of white people in 1858. The way that both races have been represented in the movie is negative, with the white people being very derogatory to their slaves; beating them, making them fight for their entertainment and making them work tirelessly on cotton fields. 

Also the black people in the film are represented in a negative way too as they're shown to be very loathsome towards white people in the film, even when they're being offered help. They're also represented as hostile with everything, which is understandable but generally its not a very good representation of them. 

I identified this when I watched the film myself. I felt a need to identify this and talk about it in this blog because, I think that the representation of both races in this film was correct for that time period, but we can say in todays society we've moved on from that. The film shows a very deep hatred between black and white people, but its not strictly true as we can see in the picture there Calvin Candie and his slave Stephen have a strong bond. Also the main character Django is very close to the bounty hunter who bought his freedom, Dr King Schultz. 

I think that Columbia Picture's values would be to deliver box office movies with hard-hitting plots. I think that this is exactly what they did in Django Unchained, I think that they could've done better with the race representation though.
