The Hateful Eight is out in United Kingdom cinemas on January 8. But there’s also a lot more that it does better than his most recent works and some new ideas that make it more than just another hit; it’s one of his best movies.
As he did for Tarantino’s KILL BILL, DEATH PROOF, INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, and DJANGO UNCHAINED, legendary composer Ennio Morricone scored the film, adding another connection to the classic Westerns that Tarantino grew up loving.
Later in his segment on Jimmy Fallon, Channing Tatum recounted how nervous he was to begin the rehearsal and filming process for The Hateful Eight. With an obsessive attention to detail, the film is lovely from start to finish, even when the blindingly bright snow gives way to blood red stains.
Now, just days away from the theatrical release of the movie, Tarantino discussed backlash to his controversial comments and the damage it might do to his film’s awards campaign and box office success.
The Hateful Eight is a bit of an odd beast in its structure. Part Agatha Christie mystery, part post-Civil War explosion, “The Hateful Eight” is about an ex-Union soldier and bounty hunter (Samuel L. Jackson) holed up during a blizzard with an assortment of suspicious characters and a handful of proud Confederates (Walton Goggins, Bruce Dern). This may also be his most overtly political feature, particularly given how it shines a light on the past to highlight issues affecting our culture at large today with little of the revenge angle that permeated his previous two meditations in this area.
But I’m more likely to do impressions of pretty much every character than to recommend this meandering tale of frontier justice, whose deceptions are neither shocking nor meaningful and whose stylized violence drifts into gratuitous brutality. Just show me what goddamn happens next, Quentin.
Take a listen to the full talk below – it’s a great one.
That being said, he’s not adverse to taking pre-existing material and making it cinematic.
