When they are awake, their minds never stop thinking

Quentin's 2015 masterpiece "The Hateful Eight", as described by many fans, still failed to escape from Quentin's style. Samus, the queen's leading actor, is equally exaggerated and bizarre, with repeated suspense and the same plasma-exploding violent aesthetics. , and the "red apple" cigarettes proposed by many are here again. Although the ending was a bit of a surprise, it still made people feel sweaty. Samuel's penetrating eyes, eloquent words, and impeccable reasoning, it must be said that Quentin's wisdom and humor have been brought into full play.
What makes me feel differently is that when the black horse and the white horse run side by side in slow motion not long at the beginning of the film, I think whether it is a metaphor for the harmonious coexistence of whites and blacks, although the film shows racism in a very American style (I think this It is a plot that is still very ingrained in today's white American crowd, although it has been greatly improved from earlier), standard American movies, and many people will use Quentin's movies as a reference. Looking at Quentin's films, in fact, many times it also represents a very American point of view. I am afraid that there are many dark humorous links, and only real Americans will smile and feel the same. This needs to be verified by looking at some books on American history and humanistic perspectives.
From the first time I saw an evaluation and commentary on Chinese and foreign movies on Li Yinhe's Weibo, I mentioned that Wang Xiaobo's favorite "Pulp Fiction" began to chase Quentin's movies to "Kill Bill". The mournful episode "BANGBANG", a song application that echoes the theme, is a great feature of Quentin's film. The growing interest in movies is inseparable from the appreciation of these acclaimed masterpieces. Just watching this superficially not only entertains my spare time but also improves my aesthetic taste.
Thanks for the movie, thanks to Quentin.

The Hateful Eight quotes

  • Oswaldo Mobray: [lecturing Daisy] John Ruth wants to take you back to Red Rock to stand trial for murder. And, if... you're found guilty, the people of Red Rock will hang you in the town square. And as the hangman, I will perform the execution. And if all those things end up taking place, that's what civilized society calls "justice". However, if the relatives and the loved ones of the person you murdered were outside that door right now. And after busting down that door, they drug you out in the snow and hung you up by the neck, that, we would be frontier justice. Now the good part about frontier justice, is it's very thirst quenching. The bad part is it's apt to wrong as right!

    John 'The Hangman' Ruth: [chiming in] Not in your case. In your case, you'd probably have it comin'. But other people, maybe not so much!

    Oswaldo Mobray: But ultimately what's the real difference between the two? The real difference is me, the hangman. To me, it doesn't matter what you did. When I hang you, I will get no satisfaction from your death, it's my job! I hang you in Red Rock, I move on to the next town, I hang someone else there. The man who pulls the lever that breaks your neck will be a dispassionate man. And that dispassion is the very essence of justice. For justice delivered without dispassion is always in danger of not being justice.

    John 'The Hangman' Ruth: Amen!

  • Oswaldo Mobray: [interrupting an escalating argument] Gentlemen, Gentlemen, I know Americans aren't apt to let a little thing like an unconditional surrender get in the way of a good war. But I strongly suggest we don't re-stage The Battle of Baton Rouge during a blizzard in Minnie's Haberdashery...
