As a loyal believer of Quentin, it was a pity that he could not go to the scene to watch the battle, so he found out the script to relieve his greed. After reading it in two days, I have a clearer understanding of Quentin's new project. At the beginning of the script, it was pointed out that the presentation format of the film would be 70mm wide screen, but I felt that it was not necessary. The narrow and confined space occupies a large amount of space in the whole script, and it is not strongly dependent on the wide-dimensional narrative perspective. In other words, the plot is the most fascinating part of this book. There are only two scenes in the whole story, the carriage in the snowstorm and the grocery store named "Minnie". Quentin's classic chapter-style narrative mode is back again. The script is divided into five chapters: the carriage to Hongyan Town, the son of the gun, Minnie Grocery Store, Four Passengers, Dark Night, White Hell, according to Quentin’s vision, Chapter 5 will be rewritten. In this chapter, all the characters are killed in the extremely Quentin’s random shots. The remaining cold wind howled.
The story of "The Hateful Eight" is not complicated, but Quentin is very clever to disassemble and rearrange the ins and outs of the story. Although it is not as superb as the "Pulp Fiction" of the year, it also has an unexpected dramatic effect, and it comes out. His black humor and well-conceived nasty dialogue are also necessary for Quentin’s works. The 146-page script tells the story: After several twists and turns, the bounty hunter Ruth finally caught the female gangster Daisy, and took her to Red Rock Town to receive the reward in a carriage. When she encountered a snowstorm on the road, she ran into a black lieutenant colonel and bounty hunter. Warren and Chris, the new sheriff of Hongyan Town, also went to Hongyan Town. They were trapped by a blizzard, hoping to take a ride. After some suspicion, Ruth agreed to get in the car. The snow is getting heavier, and the coachman OB drove the car to the famous grocery store and post-"Minnie Grocery Store", hoping to stay for a few days and wait until the snow has passed. Strangely, the owner, Sweet Dave and Minnie, were not there. A weird Frenchman, Bob, claimed to have taken over the place. There was also an Englishman Oswaldo, an old Smithers and a young cowboy Gage, Ruth and others stayed cautiously. Little did it know that this was a game where Daisy's brother, the Mexican gangster Jody, came to rescue his sister. As a result, a nervous, insidious, cunning, life and death game full of unknown dangers quietly kicked off among this group of desperadoes, waiting for them, only the fate of mutual destruction.
Quentin's cleverness is that he has given each character an extremely distinct personality and experience. This personality and experience not only enriches the character itself, but can also generate intense conflicts with other characters besides the main line. Like Warren and Smithers, they are played by Samuel Jackson and Bruce Dunn. The private grudge between these two characters is outside the main story, but it is the key plot of the entire third chapter "Minnie's Grocery Store". It is also the main point for Quentin to display his crazy and evil imagination. The confrontation between these two characters has little inevitable connection with the clue of Jody's rescue of his sister, but it makes the whole script more beautiful and more attractive. In addition, the fourth chapter "Four Passengers" is completely handed over to Flashback. The true identities of Oswaldo and Bob, who have troubled the audience for a long time, are also revealed here. It also shows the tacit cooperation between Jody and his accomplices. Following this is the next final chapter of the duel, the audience's hearts naturally followed their throats early, worrying about the fate of other characters. These roles are played by Tim Rose, Michael Madsen and others, and they will naturally be quite enjoyable when they are actually performed on the screen. Quentin did use a subtle plot layout to construct a sense of suspense like a grandma.
"The Hateful Eight" is still full of settings that can make Quentin's fans smile. For example, the classic "Red Apple" brand cigarettes reappear in the form of tobacco this time, and the attitude of treating racism is ambiguous and ambiguous. And the wonderful debate on the taste of coffee also constitutes the main part of the dialogue, the ending of random gun shooting is Quentin's favorite action scene. Take a look at the list of actors in the reading meeting that day. From Samuel Jackson’s queen hero to Zoe Bell’s queen stuntman, they are basically Quentin’s cronies. It’s strange why Christopher Waltz did not appear in the performance. The list of guests. In short, this is a very good Quentin script, which perfectly demonstrates Quentin's writing talent and his precise judgment and control as a film author. Quentin now has entered the mature stage of creation. The frivolousness of his youth has been compensated and improved by more sophistication. At this time, any of his actions will excite those who like him. Regardless of whether the filming of "The Hateful Eight" will be restarted, from this script alone, we have already smelled the eternally brilliant charm of ghosts.
