Journal Title: In Medias Res - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
What this exposure should shed light on the possibility of being used as a myth, is Tarantino’s incorporation of the German-Nordic myth called ‘’The ring of the Nibelung’’. The story of Siegfried and Brunhilde Tarantino incorporated in the film adaptation of historical western, whose plot is set up at the beginning of the American civil war in the south- west.“Primitive” societies, even in extremely harsh material conditions, are incomparably more humane than, according to Levi-Strauss, inhuman plutocracy. In fact, despite the exhausting fight for their lives, their members find the time and the strength to ask themselves: “Who are we?”, “what do we know?” and “Who created us?”. This is where the discrepancy between the “primitive” societies and representatives of the plutocracy, Tarantino radicalize in his movie Django Unchained, showing that mythical consciousness remains ineradicable element of man as a subject.
