The Hateful Eight

"Disgusting eight" — it is a nickname that I would have received among critics. Due to the fact that not all people are buying my attempts on sarcasm, to some it may seem that I'm just messing with their movies — because the word "disgusting". And "eight" — it is my creative whims. According to statistics from my account Kinopoisk rating in eight points awarded to the greater part of viewed material.

In fact, this film has its share of drama. First, in the Network merged the script and so crippled the Tarantino that he decided to abandon the project. But then he took himself in hand, and returned, the pre-rewriting the script. Then for several days before premiere of the result of a pirate attack promocode tape has also been leaked in the Internet downloaded more than half a million times, that, probably, explains the situation with charges (with a budget of 44 million collected in the world 156). And as in fact, "Eight" combines the genres of westerns and detective such incidents — this is a strong blow to the creators.

It is not known that this film took the basis — the detective of Agatha Christie's "Ten little Indians" or same Tarantino "reservoir dogs". But the fact remains — we are presented with a standard set of characters of the anecdote of the Wild West — hunter heads, the lawman with his prisoner, the future Sheriff, a Mexican kid, a runt, a cowboy and a General during the Civil war. A severe snowstorm forced them to gather in a cabin where it appears that one gathered — not what considered we must get it to calculate until the blood was shed. But we know this was no blood. cost, but the experience for the characters will not go.

And you know, it's fucking brilliant. No, seriously. The film is almost three hours, most of the action takes place in a confined space. And do not want to think too much about the design of this cabin, where the toilet is located in 100 metres from the house and when input-output is necessary to break down the door and stabbed her boards. The first, and the pictures — a script that, for we love the old Quentin. Yeah, sometimes I fooling some stretched replica, yeah and suddenly discovered the General relations of the characters look far-fetched ears do not forget that here we detective. And so in the outline of the story interwoven with unexpected twists, the revelation of the characters with the other side, and focus on certain artefacts — for example, a letter of Abraham Lincoln, which carries with a hunter heads. To the word is also atypical perception of the picture. The first hour seems like reading a book, and the rest of time as if watching a theatrical production. Although than I don't think — all is that the chamber performance Tarantino with his usual cruelty, black humor and interaction of the characters.

The disclosure of the characters are not say to put the bolt, but still almost three-hour duration about the actions of the heroes have questions. The possible disadvantages are discarded amazing acting job. Each of the "Eight" is good in its own way, but would like to highlight specific characters, which personally, I came soul. Kurt Russell in the role of the old hardened lawman in his own way attractive. Samuel L. Jackson — a kind of tough guy on the Wild West — steel, a charismatic motherfucker... in short, a standard Simon Jackson. Jennifer Jason Leigh — plays a prisoner who travelled the woman around which the whole batch. Walton Goggins — that's all interesting cupcake. He plays the new Sheriff of town, which distaste for the character of Jackson, yeah that not likes. But in the moments of crisis the hero reveals Goggins with a new hand, we can say that of the "Eights" this is the character I liked the most. And there are character Tim Roth with a slippery character. Although I he did not initially acknowledged, I thought that is Christoph waltz, for the Mouth is represented in the image, close to Hans Landa and Dr. Schultz.

It is worth mentioning the music. At this time Quentin moved away from taking "an anachronism", as in the time of the shooting, for example, included rap. The soundtrack is written by an acknowledged master — Ennio Morricone, the main musical theme of the film is just perfect for a situation when it is necessary to create an atmosphere of distrust. And here's surprisingly — in the framework of the entire work of Tarantino, where it seemed that all not seriously, "Disgusting eight" not exclude the likelihood that all it is happening it has a real basis. If "inglorious Basterds" was banter and "Django" let's just bread and circuses, then the "Eight" even the blood spatter in real life would be organic. You can criticize the painting for unnecessary, sometimes no need not bound cruelty, even by hooligan the standards of Tarantino. Although other hand, the film is called "Disgusting eight"? Was it worth it to expect anything else?

In the mountains of Wyoming Blizzard rages. Eight travellers, thanks to her, locked in "the dry Goods Minnie" — the only staging point on way to the town red Rock, where they all different reasons for going.

Hunter heads John Ruth (Kurt Russell), nicknamed the Hangman for that always brings criminals alive, sent there to carry out a meeting of the gallows and confined to his hand Daisy Domel (Jennifer Jason Leigh). Along with him one coach arrived at its a colleague of a former officer in the Northern army, major Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), carrying three dead, over which promised a good reward. Also with them came, if not lying, the newly minted Sheriff of red Rock Chris Mannix (Walton Goggins).

In the haberdashery they meet arrived there the day before: kaboem Joe Gage (Michael Madsen), who is coming to celebrate Christmas to the mother, the future executioner of the Daisy — Osvaldo Mobeam (Tim Roth), a Confederate General Sanford Smithers (Bruce Dern) and Mexican Bob (Damian Bichir), looking after school in the absence of Minnie.

John Ruth idea that someone in the goods is not one for whom it is. But but nothing is worse than when your paranoia is perfectly working intuition.

"Disgusting Eight" — this meeting John carpenter and Howard hawks, it as if suddenly, all characters "Something" was on the Wild West is the rare case when Western played out on the field of chamber drama only in the role of an alien creature here is a poisonous bitch, literally played on the same instincts Jennifer Jason Leigh. Kurt Russell and his mustache no longer need a flamethrower to exterminate a monster, now he is the creature walks hand in hand, caring for her saving it from all. But if before MacReady was a man unravels the whole ball of human tension, betrayal and fear, then it now only the character that brought the main character, which without doubt is Samuel L. Jackson. He just takes the role of bloodhounds, which should detect the deceiver, turning the movie into the game looks and dramatic pauses, from the challenge can follow the development of a flywheel of the story with open mouth.

The only character kicks in the rest is the hero of Channing Tatum, if we stopped here explicitly of the other Western and its stereotypical image irritating the flesh of the film, but not much like Tim Roth, like substituting here the favorite Director of the last years Christoph Waltz. But hero Tatum a necessary link to understand how Tarantino wanted to turn inside out favourite genre, and thereby to re-invent it. With the other hand there is a Titanic Bruce Dern, even though it plays most of those present, or Walton Goggins, who until it rarely got much screen time, and im using here clearly verified.

Quentin Tarantino, of course, can be criticized for that the picture is again turned into a collection of quotations his favorite movies, but not him it started invented. Western as genre has long been buried, then dug out of graves, were shot, then again revived, to finally dance on its ashes, of course, that to reconstruct the genre cost the expert in this matter, so in the end, we got the most ruthless, the most frigid, the most theatrical and the most talkative Western in history, which is not be directed with the such tenderness to the numbers could call "Disgusting Talkers".

Our schizo continues to experiment with clear — "Disgusting eight". New and, of course, one of the best out in 2015, the picture is from master — Quentin, the mother of his leg, Tarantino. Here we will see something new, sometimes devotional old, to someone's will result in something beautiful, for someone — deplorable. But all makes you talk about the movie, analyze and discuss it and is not one of the criteria for a successful project (if not, do not throw my sneakers)?

So there you go.

Tarantino, in my 52, still turns the genres of movies with foot on head, having fun with them as with her best friend, mixes, but not stirring to the end, we got the original and stunning piece. In he has crossed the detective with a theatre the style of a Western. Yes, you heard right, with the theatre. Remove from the film to the arrival of the heroes in transit point and get clearly submitted to the rule of "Three unities" of Aristotle. However, we have already do not get something clean, but that Quentin would was worth, so as the duration in 3 hours was slightly prolonged, and, reducing it, perhaps, would come out better. But go ahead, in  Around You will not hear "tube" no talk about, any "lyrical digressions" (unlikely this is an appropriate term, so quotes me to help), no, here the target conversations — the revelation of the characters and trying to explain what is happening. Cease to find fault with me, I'm not dumb, and of course, I understand that their challenge has always been in the same time, however, before they took place through the prism of guff, but here the rod right through, losing all the charm. Therefore, after 2 hours, you're starting to get tired of them. However, that's that, and the story its charm is not lose. The story itself is quite simple, Yes even with a touch of banality, but in combination with signature filing do not notice swallow as something entirely new.

What there akarcay? It seems to be everything is fine, as this custom may not be wonderful? I will assure You that you can. All is well just for the first sight on the first plan. Jennifer Jason Leigh all 3 hours provides such a performance that Stanislavsky himself exclaim "Believe!", think once you will cry, so just let it "Oscar" (sorry hardy) and on this leave. But don't forget Samuel L. Jackson, this fucking nigga on their steel eggs pulls out each frame was given time and in the second part of the film cope without them. In companions went to Russell Crowe, who plays with dignity and splevyval the blood goes to rest. Then Samuel takes under his charismatic wing of Walton Goggins. However, this a couple brings you to ecstasy and, in fact, to the end of the film. It is the Trinity was truly delightful. But what with the second plan? And there is a quiet horror. Have characters do not time to manifest itself in all its glory, they like strangers in the works of Quentin. Say some sentences, floating somewhere in the blur. The second plan turned into some sort of background. And the biggest disappointment in all this — Tim Roth. He plays a Waltz. DRUM. Here are more and have nothing to say. By the way, why there is added the Tatum for me. Appeared and fine, OK.

Operate? She good, the charm of Ultra Panavision 70 used full force. Here the words are not will help is a must see. Although, frankly, in the works of Tarantino attended a video series interesting.

It is worth noting the work with music. Now it is not something auxiliary, playing the second roles, no, she goes forward, emphasizes all the importance of what is happening. For this is a separate round of applause to the master.

So, to summarize, we got another great film by Quentin Tarantino, all made with high quality and stylish. Of course, it away from our favorite chips (maybe only mine), but he made something new, for him thank you very much. After all, if he took all your favorite things (in his style I have view), then the film came out, which all have seen, and is not cool (besides, it's already someone did, and was not very well, does not going to point the finger, but I hope what 8, the episode will be better). Look like Tarantino. Have me.
