Quentin's eighth work: American version of "Dragon Gate Inn" episode 2/3.
"The Hateful Eight".
This is the eighth film directed by Quentin, known as the American version of "Dragon Gate Inn". Seven men gathered in an inn because of a woman, all of them without exception. Director Kun's suspense reasoning is not vague at all, a very good film, but it was almost buried because of too much nonsense, but it was still scored a high score of 8.6. There are even comments that they hope that the director will die later, because his work is so classic.
The carriage arrived at the inn and came out to greet them by a Mexican. He explained that Ni had gone to the north to visit his wife, and that he was a helper hired by her. John entered the house with Domo Song. Warren and Chris help bolt the horse. There were three travelers in the inn, and John remained wary, and he gave a brief acquaintance with several strangers. Mo Borui claimed to be the hanger of Redstone, with Gage nesting in the corner. He said that he wanted to go back to his hometown to spend Christmas with his mother, and he stopped here when he suddenly encountered a blizzard. John declared his authority to everyone, saying that he would leave the place when the blizzard stopped. During this period, he hopes that everyone will be disciplined, otherwise the shotgun in his hand will not have long eyes. "Everyone here", "Does anyone want to..." Block mine".
In the stables on the other side, Warren questioned Bob's identity, and he tentatively asked Minny if he was still smoking an old pipe? And Bob was already on guard. He told Warren Minny not to smoke pipes at all, and told her other hobbies. Warren let his guard down for a while, but when he came inside he felt a hint of ominousness. The latch is broken, the door panel needs to be fixed with nails, there is a candy in the floor gap, but the jar with red candy on the shelf is not there. At this time, the old man in the general's uniform caught Warren's attention. Although they had never met, during the Civil War, the general grabbed a group of black rangers and went to a concentration camp, and Warren ran out of it. Even more coincidentally, the general's son later fell into Warren's hands, and he not only abused the general's son. "The dumbest thing your son has ever done" is to let me know that he is your son.
Warren shot the general, and everyone watched the strife, but no one noticed that someone had poisoned the coffee pot. At this time, Domo was in a good mood, and after getting John's permission, she played the guitar and sang the ballad. Who would have thought that a murderous common disease would have such a natural sound. This segment is my favorite shot in the whole film. Played by Jennifer Jason Lee. It used to be a "human wrench", so beautiful that it was incomprehensible. She was also nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for Hateful Eight. She vividly interpreted the little tension of hiding secrets in her heart and being afraid of being spied on.
John is moody, one second he is leisurely drinking coffee and reveling in the song, and the next second he smashes a person's guitar. He shackled Domos again, Chris poured a cup of coffee and was about to drink it, suddenly John gushed out a mouthful of thick blood, and then the horseman who drank the coffee also vomited blood one after another, and John realized that he was poisoned.
A gun butt knocks down Domo Ge, and before dying, she knocks out two of her front teeth, Domo Ge gets the opponent's pistol and sends him away with one shot. Warren took the initiative, pushing everyone aside, and then gave Chris a gun to help look at the people on the opposite side. Although Warren didn't know who poisoned it, he saw that Chris almost drank poisoned coffee just now, which ruled out the possibility that he was poisoned, and now the three people on the opposite side may have been poisoned. Warren began his reasoning, and Bob explained that Ni was gone for a week. Warren has been to the inn many times and is quite familiar with the Minneys, especially the stew she makes, and Warren will never forget that delicacy. And the stew they eat today is the taste of Minney. There is also the biggest suspicion that Minney hates Mexicans and even once hung it outside the door. She couldn't have left the inn in the hands of a Mexican, and with the few suspicious points he found when he entered the house, Bob must have lied. Warren didn't give the other party a chance to defend at all, and he directly fired two bullets to kill Bob.
