Quentin: Stop living vicariously through your demented, distorted,DELUSIONS of, Blacks,their culture,history,et al. Your not entitled to your own facts, especially when all they do is fan the flames of always bad race relations and brainwash more and more Whites into self-loathing.

All that effort,all the old-fashioned ways - using 70MM super-whatever film and lenses,road show version,et al....and FOR WHAT?!!!! 3 HOURS of Leftist Orwellian rewriting of history! To torture and brainwash Whites into more Leftist bullshit anti-White mindsets,to have a smartass Black racist taunt and taunt ,then murder,Whites,to give Black audiences shit to scream and cheer - cuz Quentin wishes it had happened, and believes it’s long overdue!

First Inglourious Basterds, then Django, now this!

DAMN HIM!!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!

A movie where a “hero” rapes another man to audience approval, largely because of his skin color and heritage, not because actions he personally was accountable for. Sins of the father.

This film contributes to a climate of hate and piss poor race relations in America. There is a tale of reconciliation in this movie but a lot of other anger comes out as well. And it seems to denounce the death penalty while glorifying an orgy of violence.

The critic at BI rated the second half much stronger but I disagree. I though from the first half (until the moment of sodomy) was evidence of a matured filmmaker. Second half Tarantino is back to his usual editing tricks (evidence of poor storytelling, it’s insulting to the audience to have a narrator come into the story and say “oh by the way, look at what somebody is doing here!” and “wait I forgot to tell you about...”) and over the top sensationalized violence and sadism. Cartoonish snuff.

It was approaching the boiling kettle of tension Hitchcock once spoke of.

And no, this would not work on a stage. First half perhaps but QT blew it.

I did like that it was shot on film and forced different visual language and pacing than most modern films employ. When you have a big camera, you limit your camera setups and don’t move it about the way you do with hand held, always bobbing, shots.

I rented Django Unchained, didn’t care for it. Would not see it again or own it. Liked this one better, wouldn’t own it. Wouldn’t pay to see it again but enjoyed seeing it in 70mm in a theater.

I do own Inglorius Basturds(sic) but purchased it cheap (used) and haven’t even watched it a second time.

Hateful Eight had potential to be a better film. I was okay with the changeup in audience expectations in the second half, the narrative technique was not as good and it is all about the story telling.

This film is like an extension of the IB bar scene.

And it doesn’t face the same jarring time-out-of-place contemporary songs that a number of his other movies do.

>>The Western genre is probably the most hated of all of film dramas by the left. The whole point of the Western is to exalt rugged individualism; the whole thrust of leftism is to submerge the individual into the collective.

Libs found Westerns that they could finally enjoy when the Western world finally released 1960s East German Soviet propaganda about Indians vs. imperialist Cowboys.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostern

The Ostern (Eastern) or Red Western (also known as “Borscht Western”) was the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc countries’ take on the Western. The term refers to two related genres:
Proper Red Westerns, set in America’s ‘Wild West’, such as Lemonade Joe (Czechoslovakia, 1964), or the East-German The Sons of Great Bear (1966) or The Oil, the Baby and the Transylvanians (Romania, 1981), or A Man from the Boulevard des Capucines (USSR, 1987), involving radically different themes and genres. These were mostly produced in Eastern European countries like East Germany and Czechoslovakia, rather than USSR.

...Some of the East German films were called Sauerkraut Westerns.

...The Goulash westerns are the Easterns of Hungarian director György Szomjas

you wasted your money on that movie?

Something is wrong with you if you know about the man-on-man oral sex/ killing scene and paid money for a ticket.

I enjoyed thw movie. A nice leisurely pace. Reminds me of old movies. With an emphasis on character development and allows for rising action before the climax to end the movie. And I’m glad it wasn’t a happy ending, let’s admit it, they’re boring.

Didn’t know in advance about that scene and it does not define the movie.

Deliverance is completely dependent on such a scene, however.

Never saw that one although I was required to read the book in college.

I thin QT films are an exercise in blood porn, and typify what is wrong with hollyweird, playing to typical liberal stereotypes.

absolutely NOT!

One of my buds works for Weinstein and he gives me the screener DVD’s/ It sucked MORE than Inglorious Bastards and that stupid crap he did with Rodriguez.

basically the gist is WHITE MAN IS EVIL!
