      Great film and exactly who I thought of. The way where he watches Solomon in that lynching scene until he can come in at the last second and swoop dramatically to cut him free is perfect liberal.

      SOLOMON: Master Ford is a decent man.

      ELIZA: He is a slaver.

      SOLOMON: Under the circumstances--

      ELIZA: Under the circumstances he is a slaver! Christian only in his proclamations. Separated me from my precious babies for lack of a few dollars. But you truckle at his boot -- you luxuriate in his favor.

      SOLOMON: I survive! I will not fall into despair. I will offer up my talents to Master Ford. I will keep myself hearty until freedom is opportune.

      ELIZA: Ford is your opportunity. Do you think he does not know that you are more than you suggest? But he does nothing for you. Nothing. You are no better than prized livestock. Call for him. Call, tell him of your previous circumstances and see what it earns you... Solomon.

      The best parts of Django Unchained involved pillorying the trope shortly before the movie pilloried the characters.
