"The Hateful Eight"
is a fan of Quentin and likes almost all of his movies. Quentin's films have his own labels. They are not sophisticated, but they are not kitschy either. His dazzling inversions, his narration or soundtrack, and partial close-ups of big shots. Other directors can only imitate him, but they have It doesn't make much sense. No conscientious creator will follow the gourd, so Quentin has only one. Looking at the whole movie, it is more disappointment than appreciation. In the name of Quentin, the requirements must be high. As director Spielberg said, Quentin's "Pulp Fiction" turned out to be the result of his work. Unimaginable movies are great movies. This time in "The Hateful Eight", Quentin tried the creation of a long script, wrote a lot of dialogues between characters in a small claustrophobic space, and reduced the action scenes. The length of the film is 167 minutes. If you are not a Quentin fan, you will watch it. Inexplicable, nowhere to connect. But fortunately, the latter part pulled back a few cities, and the flashbacks of the story clarified the reasons for the characters, and vaguely saw the shadow of the early "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction". The story takes place a few years after the American Civil War, showing the style of Western movies, the scenes of bounty hunters killing poke, and finally, all dead, but the finishing touch is the issue of race, through a letter written by President Lincoln to black officers. The letter highlights the mainstream values ​​of the United States since the founding of the country. All estrangements and struggles need to be changed by these people step by step, not for profit, but for justice. When it comes to killing poke, it is Quentin's specialty, headshot, blood spurting, in one go. But this time, he has written a lot of dialogue, which is a breakthrough, but the long dialogue will never catch up with Woody Allen's nagging, lively and interesting.

    Quentin is really a storyteller. His stories are very detailed and his characters are full of vitality and personality. I just like his easy way to lay out the details and atmosphere! This film should not be translated into "Eight Hateful Men", but should be called "Eight People Who Hate Each Other" or "Eight People Who Hate Each Other"... The most interesting part of the film is that the first black and the white that hate each other are finally turned into At the turn of life, it can be regarded as an anti-western western.

    Does Quentin have any childhood shadows? Why do you like to explode other people's chickens and eggs so much?
