Nonsense, chance encounter, and bad taste

Like "Falling Dog", "The Hateful Eight" is also a collection of weird people, close to 3 hours in length. The first two hours I listened to the strangers talking nonsense, and the rest of the time was watching the strangers run away. Torn. "The Hateful Eight" gives me the feeling that making a movie is too easy for Quentin, chatting is a movie, and a movie is the art of chatting, but I am afraid he is the only one who can make a good chat by just chatting.
"Eight of the Evil" is a western story following "Jiang Ge". The historical propositions such as freedom and race are no longer important, but constitute part of the clues to the dialogue and explain the background of the characters. A conspiracy in a blizzard day, a pure Quentinian story, lost a lot of connotation baggage, so I personally think it looks better than "Jing Ge", at least it is suspenseful and interesting.

Nonsense and
suspense are reflected in the gossip between wicked people. Conversation is a way to establish the relationship between characters, and Quentin uses it to confuse the audience and obscure this relationship. In addition, there are no primary and secondary roles in Quentin’s movies. It is difficult to sort out the contradictions between the characters and the development of the story is unpredictable. .
The villain of unknown origin, with weapons on his body, squeezed into a space, unable to distinguish between the interests of the enemy and the friend, and mutual suspicion and jealousy. It's hard to guess when and why they will suddenly run away or die suddenly. This is Quentin’s usual tactic, and it is precisely because he understands Quentin’s consistent style that when Warren, the sheriff, the hangman, and Daisy squeeze into the same carriage, and the eight evildoers appear at the Minnie men’s store at the same time , The movie has a kind of "innate" tension. I feel that any of these people may be blown away by the other person at any time, because most of their conversations are very unstable. The previous second seemed to be familiar with each other. The next second seemed to be destroying it again, it was difficult to figure out, so it was also very interesting.




Encounter
Accidentally appearing on the old general bystander besides the evil eight. It is the end of nonsense and the starting point of bad taste.
Before Warren entered the Minnie men's clothing store, the hangman temporarily controlled the situation. The unexpected encounter between Warren and the old general changed the relationship and primary status of the roles. The hangman spurted out of the field and Warren began to control the situation. The relationship between the remaining people is still unclear, and there is the possibility of accidents and reversals at any time.
The whole movie is like a multiplayer fighting landlord undressing, peeling layer by layer, it feels like whoever is stripped first will be finished first.




The evil taste of
Quentin's movies is concentrated in the sudden death and the sudden burst of plasma.
After the "arrogant" Warren was blown up, the role's primary and secondary status changed again, and then the biggest suspense of the movie, the secret of Golea was revealed.
However, it was shocking after being unlocked.
Haha, it turned out to be a story of robbery, killing and saving people.
That's right, I didn't say that it was not a story about robbing, killing and saving people.
This ending is too light, I'm afraid I can't hold it down.
What kind of ring structure, what flashback recap, in fact, it is just to make you go around, and finally burst some blood when necessary, to scare you.
Isn't it fun to scare you?
This is the essence of bad taste.

Putting aside the violence, Quentin is the master of the tuberculosis film. The characters in his films are all so good that they can talk from the Renaissance to science. Technology, talk back to the high-powered style of the inner uterus from outer space. The nonsense between the characters has always been the glamorous movement in his movies. You may be able to make a movie like talking to Woody and be liked or annoyed by God, but it is difficult for you to imitate Mei Kun, he is that kind The director who can get things done by pulling and pulling, he always can't stop pulling, and it's always so funny.

Chatting with Quentin, maybe going to bed with a goddess, is the same dreamy thing, especially for those shit whose lines are written like shit.

    Talking, bloody, sudden death, and a little play structure are still Quentin. However, compared with Quentin at its peak, it is less interesting and chic.

    Mouth, you can eat stew, you can eat JJ; gun, you can headshot, you can also burst DD.
