Review of The Hateful Eight (2015) by Andy S — 15 Feb 2018

I love how old school Tarantino is showing the credits at the beginning while filming something interesting. Also, really cool to see Ennio Moricone doing the music for the movie. J. Jason Leigh is brilliant in this film. So is Walton Goggins. He's a great actor.

The weather is brutal and grueling. I would hate to be in that weather. Really well scripted. I get this feeling that the way the conversations and characters acted in the Chapter at Minnie's place, is what it would be like in real life during that time. Jackson's character knew something was off or messed up once he entered the house. I can see Tim Roth's character is sort taking after Christoph Waltz's character in Django.

I love the relationship between John and Daisy. It's like a love hate relationship. You can definitely see what their relationship is really like when they sit own to eat. It's almost sweet. Seeing Jennifer J Leigh play that guitar and singing, just makes me like her even more. This movie's got a great charm about it and it's funny as hell at times.

It was very interesting to watch how the whole incident unfolded. All the tension build up that Tarantino is famous for, is well apparent in the scene. I can see influence of the movie The Exorcist in this movie. With Daisy as well as with the coffee incident.

Overall, real good movie. It's kind of like the Western version of Reservoir Dogs. It's a very cynical movie that is written and told in true Tarantino fashion: with style.
