The Hateful Eight and the Eight Justices

I originally planned to write a film review, but when I sat down and thought about how to write it, I couldn't find a suitable explanation. Although the story is simple, it looks like eating candy and then biting into a watermelon. It is a ideological innovation in film aesthetics. Maybe the director just wanted to show it to you. As for what you think, it has nothing to do with me.
As one of the representatives of violent aesthetics, Quentin always has the smell of gun iron and blood in the film. The background of the story is that after the Civil War, the bounty hunter John took Daisy to Red Rock Town to collect the reward, but unexpectedly was blocked by a heavy snowstorm, and met the second lieutenant of the former Confederate Knights and was about to go to Red Rock Town on the way. Chris, John watch out for the two. In Minnie's grocery store to save Daisy, Daisy's brother killed the owner of the cabin and waited for John. The people who were nailed to the cross at the beginning of the film were drowned by heavy snow, and Jesus was nailed to the cross to bring justice to mankind. At this moment, Jesus who brought justice to mankind is buried in the snow. Is it a metaphor or? John shouted justice and took Daisy to Red Rock Town to be executed and hanged. The black second lieutenant took Lincoln's letter to become a bounty hunter, and John respected Lincoln and believed in black people. Until the end, it was not known whether Lincoln's letter was sent to the second lieutenant by Lincoln. The black second lieutenant met the old general who was looking for his son, and learned that the general gave up the cavalry regiment in the Civil War to protect himself. It is unknown whether the second lieutenant killed the son in the film, but the second lieutenant's anger killed the general. And Chris, who had been close to the general's suit, didn't care, and pulled off the general's coat. And the driver, who said he would never go out again, moved the general's body outside. Here, although there is no excessive description of how dark human nature is, how much human beings can know about themselves. In Quentin's view, these things were taken for granted. Afterwards, the fuse of the violent outbreak in the film, the poison. Although the discussion of blacks and whites was also discussed before, it was only taken away. John shouted justice and drank poison. Before he died, he told Chris that there was poison in his coffee. After drinking the poison, John killed Daisy. No matter what reason he didn't kill Daisy before, he knew at this moment that he was going to die, subconsciously. I want to kill Daisy, because he himself has nothing to do with this world right now, so whoever kills him, what justice, has nothing to do with me at this moment. Regarding John's explanation, the film mentions only the leader of the story. Before the climactic scene, bob from the log cabin calls himself Mowbray from the blocker, Joe the Cowboy Gage. Each of them talked to John about human suspicion and suspicion, and every word represented the essence of these people. Every word they say is every word they say with a pistol to their forehead. At this time, all the dark sides of human beings are revealed unintentionally. Kill the innocent grocery store owner casually, in order to save my sister. In the end, things got to the point of being irreversible, and it was not known whether the lie that the sister had made up and there were hundreds of people outside was true or false. But Chris's father ended in the Civil War, and only a few hundred people followed his father, but it stirred Chris's ignition. The timid Chris was not moved before, and in the end, only Daisy, the black Chris, was left in the house. When Daisy lost the ability to resist, the two decided to execute Daisy righteously. It's ridiculous, justice can change, when a person faces seven people, each of the eight people seems to have a sense of justice, and the human essence contained in each character represents several people, digging into the darkness of human beings is greater than My expectations for the film.
Although the story of the film is boring, it is still interesting to watch it without knowing the violence and black reasoning. Who is the villain? In fact, we are all evil, and we are all righteous.

    The @Arcadia Melzo 70mm film version, while once again proving Quentin's ability to dismantle and reconstruct stories and use form and verbal tension to turn decay into magic, is still not good enough. The first half of the preparation was too long and I almost lost patience. Fortunately, after the intermission, I exerted a lot of strength, and the hidden lines that had been buried were exposed one by one, and every minute was as gorgeous as the explosion of fireworks. Nostalgia and old school I can't help but buy it...

The Hateful Eight quotes

  • Sheriff Chris Mannix: [to Warren] I ain't dead yet, ya black bastard!

  • [last lines]

    Sheriff Chris Mannix: Hey. Can I see that Lincoln letter?

    [Warren reaches in his pocket and takes out a bloodied piece of paper; he hands it over to Mannix]

    Sheriff Chris Mannix: "Dear Marquis, I hope this letter finds you in good health and stead. I'm doing fine, although I wish there were more hours in the day. It's just so much to do. Time is changing slowly but surely and it's men like you will make a difference. Your military success is a credit not only to you but to your race as well. I'm very proud every time I hear news of you. We still have a long way to go but hand in hand, I know we'll get there. I just want to let you know you're in my thoughts. Hopefully our paths will cross in the future. Until then I remain your friend. 'Ole Mary Todd is calling, so I guess it must be time for bed. Respectfully, Abraham Lincoln..."

    [long pause]

    Sheriff Chris Mannix: "'Ole Mary Todd..."

    [smiles weakly]

    Sheriff Chris Mannix: That's a nice touch.

    Major Marquis Warren: [chuckles] Thanks.

    [Mannix takes the letter and crumples it up; he tosses it on the floor nearby]
