one of the better Tarantino movies

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 2016)

A good movie. The characters are performing extremely well. The choice of the main female character is brilliant. The scenery is beautiful. The dialogs are compelling. The amount of blood is adequate for a Tarantino movie. I wished for a movie without the dreaded "Laughing while killing/torturing" but did not get it this time either. Tarantino seems to like that combination. I do not like it. Oh, and I can criticize the ending - just a little. Every experience - and a movie is a great experience - is judged mainly by its climax and its ending (that is a psychological fact). The recently discovered so called 'mirror neurons' are probably the reason why we seem to feel exactly like the main character in a movie at its very end. You feel like a winner after watching Rocky, you feel like James Bond after watching James Bond, you feel like the coolest guy on earth after watching the ending of Pulp Fiction, and so on... I sometimes think that the right ending or at least an ending that makes you feel great, is crucial for the making of a cult movie. Well, after "The hateful eight" you feel worn out, bled out and your balls hurt.
