Tarantino genius!

Rating: 9/10 (24 November 2017)

Tarantino affirms a genius in this film with all his tastes. I found this mystery worthy of a story of Agatha Christie with Tarantinesque treatment. sensational. Technically the film is perfect, the photograph is beautiful, the use of the 70 mm is incredible, and some effects of makeup are simply incredible. The script of the film is very well developed, we have excellent dialogues, very characteristic of the Tarantino, the story is told with great calm, the slower pace helps the public to digest the story and try to solve the mystery. The film is really quite slow, in the first half of the film practically no action occurs, we are presented to the characters, all very well written and acted, the mystery letters are thrown at the table, we still take several discussions on different points of view on the Civil War (1861-1865). Even though the film is very slow in this first half, it is impossible to take the eye off the screen, as we see several discussions and a tension grow between the characters. Here we come to the second half of the film, where there is an abrupt change of tone. We had a slower first part where tension between the characters was developed but in the second part the movie explodes in a whirlwind utraviolent, where the characters enter a brutal confrontation in several scenes that shock even the strongest of the viewer.Even the focus of the film in this part is to show the violence, the mystery is not abandoned and remains the central factor of the plot. But this second part falls in quality compared to the first, especially when the film stops to explain what happened in the cabinet before the protagonists arrive. The scenes are good, but it takes the impact of the end of the film, which, while excellent, does not have the impact it should have. As already mentioned, the cast of the film is incredible, there is not a weak actor in the film, but Walton Goggins and Jennifer Jason Leigh (Oscar nominee for best supporting actress for that role), these two are the highlight of the film. Another thing that is praiseworthy is the Ennio Morricone (which won the Oscar for this film), which gives the whole tone of the film. I recommend that you watch this movie on the largest possible screen, to enjoy the beautiful photograph.
