When I watched the Batman War, I felt that 1 hour of this broken movie was too long, but after watching this film quietly, I was a little happy and a little unfinished. Watching such a bloody and rude film late at night is also a good experience. (Monologue of a patient with a heavy taste).
The blizzard is approaching in the icy Wyoming Valley, and the only place to hide is the men's clothing store in Minney, where the story takes place. (It seems that the shop doesn't sell men's clothing, it's more like a hunter's jargon expression, guess it should be similar to a station)
The picture that appears at the beginning of the film seems to be very meaningful. In the vast white, the crucifix of Jesus and the fast approaching and leaving. The carriage, everyone carries the original sin from the beginning, waiting to be judged.
I have seen bounty hunters in American films. No matter what the reason is to engage in this dangerous business, in my eyes, they are a group of people with courage and wisdom, and of course, a bloody and cruel group of people.
In the past, the western United States was wild and vast, and the police department did not have enough manpower to hunt down fugitives. At this time, bounty hunters came on stage.
Bounty hunters only need a document identifying the prisoner to pursue a fugitive, and appear to be immune to zoning (in the US), which sounds like more power than the police.
Many bounty hunters themselves are also wanted for bounty. For example, this black bounty hunter, Major Marquis Warren, took three bounty corpses and boarded the carriage of John Ruth the "hanger". Black and white, the black man who chose to execute the prisoner to make it easier for himself, and the white man who chose to take a living person to Red Rock to watch her be hanged.
Daisy Domoko (Jennifer Jason Leigh), who is almost the only woman in the film, is a murderer with a reward of $10,000. Daisy, who has a panda eye from the very beginning, is killed by Johnny along the way. I don't know how many times I've played, but bloody scenes are not uncommon, and I feel pain when I see them.
But it still doesn't prevent her from being my favorite in the whole film. Her voice, lines, appearance, and every expression are all integrated with this character, a woman who was chained to the last moment by the yoke of male power.
The Hateful Eight, as you can tell from the title of the film, if you want to see positive energy, there is none here.
Just imagine what will happen when they meet, two hunters with guns who will do anything to catch fugitives, the incoming sheriff of Red Rock (actually I also think he is a liar in the end), the white general who has been defeated in the Civil War comes to find out. The child erected a monument and laid out a general plan to rescue the female bandit who was still hanged in the end, as well as a part of the four gangsters from Mexico. Bang! Bang! Bang! Flesh and blood, brains splattered.
Divided into several chapters to tell the whole story, the final scene is only the black hunter and the sheriff. I think these two should not be able to survive the snow and ice. I suddenly thought of the cross at the beginning of the film, as if to judge everyone.
It's a world full of conflict, with mutual hatred, jealousy, signs of the Civil War, and obvious irony.
Regarding the mutual dislike of the generals from the north and the south, the white rich second generation? For the contempt of black people, the stranglers are self-righteous and uphold justice...
Looking back on it, it seems that the whole story is nothing special, but I didn't find it in the process of watching, relying on the performances of the actors, the soundtrack, or the wooden house scene that is not bright enough, it always makes people feel Saw the end in one breath: black, white hell.
In any case, Quentin still has his own uniqueness. Some people say that the so-called ghost is probably the ghost who knows what he is thinking, and that's about it.
Bounty hunters are indeed a legendary and ancient profession, full of imaginative and malleable creations. Black hats, gloves, ties, vests, cloaks, and of course, a pistol that can kill without hesitation.
The quiet and restrained voice unconsciously held the audience, and the decisive and ruthless chill not only destroyed others, but also forced himself into a dead end.
In the end, I actually don’t know what I want to express. I always feel that in this era, to be a hero or a villain is not as good as it used to be, so I always need to rely on memories and creations to dig out some people and things in the past.
BGM chose pure music that runs through the whole film from the beginning, and the heavy tune is suppressed, giving people the feeling of moving forward. Good background music can really improve the film a lot.
Next time, I plan to change the style and write the bright and brisk "Brooklyn" in my heart.
