Calvin's just a follower of phrenology which is essentially an out-dated and discredited 'science' of analyzing bumps on people's heads to determine the attributes of the brain within. The idea being that the different parts of the brain have various specialized jobs. So a lump in an area associated with laziness means that person is lazy because their ...

Zoe Bell, who starred for Tarantino in "Death Proof," played another
character that was seemingly cut down -- one of the plantation
enforcers who wears a bandana over her face and earns a third-act
close-up.
"Yeah, you don’t really get anything from her character,” Goggins
said. “But she’s lethal. And you know, I should probably just stick to

I believe it is to be interpreted as "getting the last laugh", "getting one up", or "getting the better" of the other person. A game of wits in which the two are playing mind games with each other to see who can get the last laugh.
Throughout the scenes leading up to this moment, after Candie forces Schultz to pay 12,000 for Broomhilda, Candie repeatedly ...

You have slightly muddled the occurrence of events. Schultz has a flashback of the dog-mauling scene not right after Candie ups Broomhilda's(Django's wife) price, but later when the deal is being put to paper. In the violent moment where Candie threatens to bash Hilda's skull with a hammer, Schultz agrees to the raised price in a breath.
Later, when Dr. ...

In fact my answer is very similar to KeyBrd Basher's but I'm still going to post my views:
I for myself wouldn't say that with this flashback he realized Candie was going to kill them all (which I'm not even sure was the case). I would rather say that this flashback just raised his anger over Candie's cruelty and increased his moral aversion against him, ...

Short answer: No
The most obvious explanation of that scene is that the shells were casings from his own bullets or spare ammunition he hadn't been able to load before Stephen (the black estate manager) captured Broomhilda and threatened to shoot her. His action preceding that scene involved sheltering from hostile fire, which he wouldn't need to do if he ...

First of all, she is indeed spelled Broomhilda (with an "M") both in the credits and throughout the movie. I think it's only Schultz who calls her Brunhilda due to his habits. I just understood that as a parody of the original name, emphasizing her status as a slave, since she's supposed to carry a broom when cleaning up behind her masters, something along ...

There were certainly plenty of witnesses to the event. The household help who were allowed to escape still continue to be slaves of the Candies. IMO, both the housekeeper and Candie's mistress, Sheba (?), would, perhaps with a little persuasion, be happy to cooperate with any investigators.
And investigation there will be, considering the nature of the ...
