Every other movie on planet Earth: Entertainment | Quentin Tarantino movie: Poetic Entertainment

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2015)

What is film if not a portal to another world, where rules are imagined by one master creator, with a point to escape from the only reality to another fantasy.
Many critics deemed this film "too long". They would much rather stick to the 90 minutes prestige movies about wall street thieves, bankers, single-parent mothers, one-dimensional silly action packed scraps and PC 'for-the-sake-of-reputation' stories that the world is bandwagoning like Gastarbeiters on minimum wage.
I like to see "The Hateful Eight" as a two act movie, where, in the first one Quentin Tarantino gets comfortable with his scribbling, and by scribbling, I mean amazing writing, in which characters talk and talk and talk and don't mistake it for boredom, one iota. It's captivating. But in the second... it explodes into hateful violence, where some of it were done just for the sake of it. That's how these characters are ruthless, selfish and in many ways unpredictable.
The Ennio Morricone score jump starts the movie and one of the things that I love in a Tarantino movie are the opening credits. "Little Green Bag" reveals the Reservoir Dogs title, "Misirlou" reveals the Pulp Fiction title, "Across 110th Street" reveals Jackie Brown a-la "The Graduate", "Bang Bang" reveals Kill Bill, "The Green Leaves of Summer" reveals Inglorious Basterds (personally my favorite opening credits of a Tarantino film, and perhaps of all time), "Django" reveals Django and finally, Morricone doesn't blast with horns or loud string quartets, but slowly dissects the puzzle and invites you to see the violence that is to come. With big, bold, western yellow font and orange shadows: THE HATEFUL EIGHT.
The film hasn't started and it's already Tarantino. It goes in the top 4 Tarantino films, most definitely.
