Review of The Hateful Eight (2015) by Nedryerson1 — 13 Feb 2016
The Hateful Eight is accepted as payment of the debt that Tarantino made with Django Unchained. The old reliable search for vengeance is more hidden than in other of his movies, but certainly droves the plot through developing and to the outcome.
As the title suggest, we have here 8 protagonist, although Major Marquis Warren definitely stole the screen, the classic quick-thinking, charisma and irony from all Tarantino’s protagonist is back and ready for action with him.
A new thing can be notice in this movie, which is that the archetype created by Tarantino, which stays primary with Marquis, also jumps through the other seven characters; we have the stubbornness in The Hangman, manipulation in Daisy Domergue, determination in The Sheriff, mystery in Joe Gage, playfulness in Oswaldo, strategic distraction in Señor Bob and old fashion behavior in General Sanford.
Despite its lazy beginning, the movie moves forward actively. The timeless and fragmented reality is addressed with the classic nonlinear narrative style and chapters. The screenplay is really enjoyable, made for the fans obviously.
The cinematography in 65mm is original and interesting. In performances we see full range, Samuel L. Jackson perfect as always; Tim Roth is definitely portraying Christoph Waltz as himself; Russell, Leigh, Madsen and Dern are up to the film; however Channing Tatum is awful, an insult to all Tarantino’s characters.
Anyway, Tarantino is absolutely back.
