A murderous demon with the warmth of humanity?

The reason for scoring five points: a director who has been seen through the line can make so many wonderful movies under the same routine, which is really admirable. All five points gave Quentin an unchanging style.

But for the film alone, I will score four points. There are a few areas where I personally feel that I can improve it:

1. Soundtrack: where four passersby, a mint cowboy goes out to kill a black migrant worker. Quentin who likes to use the soundtrack, the soundtrack inserted here is a bit abrupt. After such a fierce scene, the music turned out to be in the style of American country folk...I was really surprised by the suitability.

2. Characterization of female liars: smiles happily when you see your elder brother, a liar demon who likes to play the guitar? Since the four people were killing her, wouldn't it be reasonable to explain that she was the head of a man. The fact is that she in the movie will only deliberately say something annoying, spit and deceive others. The description of her evil in the movie is pitiful.

3. Four passers-by killed the Minnie family in order to save their sister, and the chief executive who slaughtered the black people was excited to draw his guns for his son. It is reasonable to use black and white explanations for all of this, and it is also in line with the theme of the film. But this is a gangster melee movie that does not delve into the subject. Compared with Kubrick, I feel that Quentin has less control over the subject.

The above little confusion does not affect my liking for Quentin, and many lenses are also not good. Just make a small comment, just for discussion. I also read some negative comments, and I feel that everyone is too demanding of the master. It is not easy to create a particularly excellent film in a lifetime, so please be merciful.

The Hateful Eight quotes

  • Jody: [to Minnie] Judy said something about the best coffee in the world?

    Oswaldo Mobray: [smiles] Yes, I do believe Judy did say something about the best coffee in the world!

    Minnie Mink: [laughs] Well, I don't know 'bout all that. But I'll tell ya what it is: it's hot and it's strong and it's good! And in this snow it sure enough warms your ass up!

  • Major Marquis Warren: Beggin' for his life, your boy told me his whole Life Story. And YOU, was in that story General. And when I knew me I had the son, of the Bloody Nigger Killer of Baton Rouge, I knew me I was gonna have some fun! It was COLD the day I killed your boy. And I don't mean snowy mountain in Wyoming cold... Colder than that. And on that cold day, with your boy at the business end of my gun barrel... I made him STRIP. Right down to his bare ass. Then I told him to start walkin'. I walked his naked ass for two hours... 'fore the cold collapsed him. Then he commits to beggin' again. But this time, he wasn't beggin' to go home. He knew he'd never see his home again. And he wasn't beggin' for his life neither, 'cause he knew that was long gone. All he wanted, was a BLANKET. Now don't judge your boy too harshly, General. You ain't never been cold as your boy was that day. You'd be surprised; what a man that cold, would-do-for-a-blanket. You wanna know what your boy did? I pulled my BIG, BLACK, PECKER outta my pants. And I made him crawl in the snow on all fours over to it. Then I grabbed a handful of that black hair at the back of his head... And I stuck my Big Black Johnson right down his goddamn throat! And it was fulla' blood... so it was warm. Oh, you bet your sweet ass it was warm. And Charles Chester Smithers sucked on that warm black dingus for as loong as he could. Hahahaahaha! Startin' to see pictures, ain't ya?
