In the 90s when Hollywood movies fell into formulaic, Quentin's sudden appearance made him a spoiler. The large number of lines full of humor, violence and pornography and the circular narrative structure of time and space are two of his most conspicuous marks. Quentin's movies are always supported by nagging, which is something everyone knows. And this time, he took this most handy flower work to a new level. In the three-hour movie of "The Hateful Eight" with only two scenes, this kind of endless chattering is undoubtedly The driving force behind the development of the story.
Quentin’s gag is not just to make the movie more interesting, and the characters more vivid, so that the babbling language has a variety of unique functions. In the limited indoor space with a strong stage sense of "The Hateful Eight", it can not only achieve The narrative function can also dominate scene scheduling, and even replace action scenes, delay the triggering of violence, and greatly expand the expressive function of lines. This is why Quentin's movies are worth watching and pondering over and over more than once, because those endless nagging dialogues have a deeper meaning.
Quentin is also a director who is good at choosing and controlling actors. This time it is not only Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Roth, and
Kurt Russell who are picking up the lead. (Kurt Russell) Such an old partner and old face-certainly can not forget Zoe Bell (Zoe Bell), who has been playing more and more roles-in addition to Walton, who has been gradually reused by Quentin in the past two years · Walton Goggins (Walton Goggins) He has gotten small roles over the years. He is good at portraying cowardly, cunning but tragic small characters. He played the leading role for the first time in "The Hateful Eight" and performed well.
It’s also worth mentioning that the soundtrack master Morricone, who was once violent during the filming of "The Liberation of Jiang Ge", finally released his suspicion with Quentin this time, making "The Hateful Eight" the first time that Quentin has a new creative film. Movie with soundtrack. The prolific Morricone has never stopped his footsteps. The rich and varied emotions in his music are a rare existence in any movie, and for westerns, he is simply the Leon of music. Inside.
Eight villains who have no goodwill and no moral bottom line for the world in which they live—as the eighth film in the director’s career, as the second western film after “Liberated Jiang Ge”, “The Evil Eight” has Some new things that are out of the ordinary may be deep sarcasm of racism, perhaps extended thinking about violence, but even Quentin himself cannot—to be precise, disdain—to tell you this plainly. What's new, because he doesn't care if he tells a complete story, and he never explains for his movies. What he cares more about is the shaping of characters and conflicts, creating a style, a symbol, and even a film genre.
As he said himself: "It's true that my movie style is really fucking strong, but this is Tarantino's movie. When you go to a Metallica concert, you don't always ask them to turn down the volume. "
