"The Hateful Eight" lasted three full hours, but it was rare for me to watch it with gusto. Compared to domestic films that use all kinds of empty shots to make up the plot of the movie, "The Hateful Eight" can be regarded as not wasting a minute. The movie uses chapters and the story environment is set on a snowy night. The harsh environment and background gave different people a legitimate reason to get together and gather in a temporary grocery store. Struggle and anti-struggle, humanity and anti-humanity, it was logical to start a closed massacre. trip.
Quentin’s films have always focused on the portrayal of human nature, whether it is an enemy or a friend, not only is the plot reversed, but human nature is multiple reversed, depending on where you are and where you stand. In control of the overall situation is the black bounty hunter. He has extraordinary brains and killing skills. He is the best controller in the entire grocery store with force. The black man who was despised in the upper class, hiding in a small town with little people, holding a letter from President Lincoln in his hand, has a detached voice in the grocery store. I thought he would be the core character of the story, but never thought that this black man was a real passerby.
Of course, the beginning of all the killings came from the kidnapped female killer. She should be grateful that she met the "hangman" for this opportunity to implement this seemingly perfect plan. She is wild, she is irritable, she yearns for freedom but is always bound, whether it is from the body or the soul. The only release that belonged to her was probably the song she sang with the guitar, but the broken guitar and the dead brother caused her to collapse at the last moment and lose all her sanity. Want to live, but drag a group of people to die, this is probably the most common ending.
Almost no one in the story is a good person (except for the innocent grocery store father and daughter, of course), so the killing each other seems so natural. You will not cry and be sad for any one person, just as you know that good and evil are balanced after all. No matter how you do evil, you will have to pay your own price in the end. The absurd thing is that in the end, the film is dependent on each other. It is not people of the same class or a gang who are waiting to die together. Instead, they are the two most opposed to each other, the white leader and the black civilians. The two people who were the least able to join hands came together for the same life or death, without hesitation. Of course, there is no word "alive" waiting for them.
The wind stopped and the snow stopped. No matter what happened, everything would return to calm, just as Baixue would cover up all the killings and sins, and then the next person walking on the road would appear.
Simply complain about the translation of the Hong Kong version: Does it have anything to do with "The 7 Fairies of Happy Land"?
