Analysis Of Opening Scenes: 'Django Unchained'

The first thing the viewer will notice is the 'old-school' type of writing which is perfect for the western genre as it reminds us of the old, pre 2000s westerns. This goes in line with the music, which is very western like. These two factors alone have made me really excited to see the rest of the movie as I find the western genre to be one of the best out there. We then get a shot of the slaves walking through the desert, in chains, with whip marks on their backs.
