I just watched this for the first time tonight and was blown away! Just incredible. I had read that, possibly, Django was named after Django Reinhardt who was known for being an amazing guitarist despite only having full use of two fingers on his left hand. This is interesting given the mutilation that Django endures in the movie. I think there are some undiscussed aspects to spaghetti westerns involving disabilities such as this film, the mute in The Great Silence, and Mannaja overcoming blindness. Maybe it's just because of my own disabilities but I think this is an important theme; overcoming one's physical problems to prevail in the end.
