The Hateful Eight	comment	The Hateful Eight is a 2015 Western, and the eighth film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino.Six or eight or twelve years after The American Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the Wyoming winter towards the town of Red Rock. Its passengers are Bounty Hunter John "The Hangman" Ruth (Kurt Russell) and his captured quarry Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), who he is transporting to Red Rock to face justice (and the gallows). Along the way, the stagecoach picks up two strangers who happened to be out on the road: Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), a black ex-Union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter, and Chris Mannix (Walton Goggins), a Southern renegade who claims to be Red Rock's newly-appointed Sheriff.Losing their way in an oncoming blizzard, the stagecoach is forced to take refuge at Minnie's Haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover on a mountain pass. When they arrive, they are greeted by four unfamiliar faces: Bob (DemiÃ¡n Bichir), who is taking care of Minnie's while she is away visiting her mother; Oswaldo Mobray (Tim Roth), the hangman of Red Rock; cow-puncher Joe Gage (Michael Madsen); and Confederate General Sandford Smithers (Bruce Dern).Yet as the storm overtakes the mountainside cabin, locking them in for the night, tensions and suspicions begin to ignite, and it soon becomes clear that the eight travellers may not all make it to Red Rock after all.This film notably features the first Western score by Ennio Morricone since 1981 — especially unique as Tarantino is usually not one to "trust" composers to score original music for his films (although he doesn't mind taking music written for other movies). This is also the first film to have been shot in the 2.76:1 aspect ratio Ultra Panavision 70 process since Khartoum in 1966. It was also presented in a "Roadshow" format in about 140 theaters worldwide with 70mm projection, extended runtime, and a special programme.When the film became available on Netflix in April 2019, an extended version in the form of a 4-episode Mini Series was unveiled on the streaming service alongside the theatrical cut, to the surprise of everyone. Tarantino also plans to adapt the film into a stage play at a later date.Previews: Teaser, Trailer 1Due to the nature of the film and the wiki's policy about trope titles, unmarked spoilers follow, and on related pages as well.

The Hateful Eight / int_116f6f1c	type	Self-Plagiarism
The Hateful Eight / int_116f6f1c	comment	Self-Plagiarism: Joe Gage says at one point, "A bastard's work is never done" â€” a common tagline on posters for Inglourious Basterds. A chair is covered with blankets and fur to hide the bloodstain of the man killed in it. Jules and Vincent use the same technique to disguise the back seat of the bloodstained car in Pulp Fiction. Like in Pulp Fiction again, there's another man with a gun who's hiding out of sight and who has been listening to the whole scene since the beginning. And who gets shot moments after showing himself. The two actors from Reservoir Dogs die the same way they do in that movie. Groucho AKA Joe Gage gets shot to death quickly via multiple bullets from someone not standing, and English Pete AKA Oswaldo Mobray gets shot in the stomach but stays coherent and conversational for some time. A second bullet to the chest leaves him all-but-dead, twitching on the floor but still alive to die slowly. "Say adios to your huevos" certainly echoes "Say auf Wiedersehen to your Nazi balls". Sam Jackson got shot in the balls with Walton Goggins nearby. In a previous movie, it's the other way around. The speech of Mobray (portrayed by Tim Roth) on how executions should be performed by an impartial man with no prior knowledge of anyone involved in the case is basically a twist on a similar speech in Quentin Tarantino's segment of Four Rooms. Fittingly enough, the receiving side of the speech in Four Rooms was Ted, portrayed by Tim Roth, and the speaker was played by...Tarantino himself. O.B. (James Parks) uses the line, "Well, smoke..." (smoke being a jocular term for an African-American). In Django Unchained, a member of the LeQuint Dickey mining company (played by Michael Parks) uses this same line when addressing Django. In both instances, they address a black bounty hunter, and are said by son and father, respectively.

The Hateful Eight / int_1237828f	comment	Anyone Can Die: What else would you expect from Tarantino? Although Smithers has already died by that point, John Ruth's gruesome end is what really solidifies this trope. By the end of the film, every single character, major or minor, is dead except for Warren and Mannix, both of whom have sustained heavy wounds and will more than likely eventually die soon.

The scene is narrated and also seen in flashback â€” although it may be fictional â€” and prompts General Smithers to try and kill Warren, who then kills Smithers in self-defense.

The Hateful Eight / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: The ads put an emphasis on action and humor, painting the film as another over-the-top western adventure like Django Unchained. In reality, the movie is much darker than its predecessor, and is really more of a horror movie set in the Old West than an actual Western. There's comic relief to break up the tension and misery, but it's definitely not the real selling point. The film also shares a number of similarities with And Then There Were None, with a group of people, trapped in an isolated location, being killed and not knowing who to trust, which again is far different than what the trailers indicate the film will be.

Chris takes over for him as the only somewhat heroic character in the film, since Warren is a clear Nominal Hero whose objective is simply just to stay alive.

The nature of the connection between Minnie and Sweet Dave has been left as an exercise for the reader.

Quentin then persuaded the producers to spend an additional $10 million to equip ~140 theaters around the world with the 70mm projection equipment and optics needed to exhibit the film in a 1950s style "Roadshow" format. Remember, this was several years after even "basic" 35mm film projection had been replaced by digital, and most of the 70mm projectors obtained for the roadshow had to be rebuilt from discarded equipment.

Oswaldo makes a small speech about the nature of justice which seems to resonate with John.

The Hateful Eight / int_3ac583f4	comment	Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: The film lands moderately on the cynical side of the scale, but not as far as you'd think going by the premise. Everybody Dies, including the innocent bystanders. Six of the ten (non-posthumous) characters were murderers in on the conspiracy to free the bounty. The remaining four consisted of one Token Good Teammate and three fairly dark anti-heroes (the closest thing the movie has to a "hero" in the end is an unapologetic white supremacist and former Confederate bushwhacker). Basically every character was a violent, selfish criminal. But, in the end, it is two of those same selfish criminals who change for the better, putting aside their differences to avenge the innocents killed by the villains and honor the man who saved their lives. In the process, they bring Jody's gang to justice and save future travelers from the fate of Minnie and her workers. Even the final shot of the movie, featuring the two "heroes" painfully bleeding to death alone in a cabin full of corpses, manages to have a tinge of optimism at the end via the (fake) Lincoln letter.

Shame the gang had planted firearms under nearly every item of furniture for just such an eventuality, not to mention the guy under the floorboards. After the shootout, Warren tells Jody to toss his guns up while threatening to shoot Daisy. Jody throws one, and when he claims to have none left, Warren tells him to shit one out in the next three seconds before they shoot her. After a moment, he does.

This applies to Mannix as well when he stops short of killing Joe Gage because the latter is unarmed, despite Mannix himself having just been wounded by Gage's accomplices and it being likely that Gage will try to finish the job once the wounded Mannix lets his guard down. Gage even knows this and tauntingly reminds him of it when Mannix turns the gun his way. To a lesser extent, he tolerates Warren, as Warren works for the law by bringing in bounties. As much as Mannix's racist ass would love to kill him, they're both lawmen.

The Hateful Eight / int_56515a39	type	Artistic License â€“ History
The Hateful Eight / int_56515a39	comment	Artistic License â€“ History: Warren and Smithers could not have met at the Battle of Baton Rouge, because it took place a few months before the Union Army permitted African Americans to enlist in its ranks (unless they were passing as white) in late 1862. This could be justified considering the movie is set in Tarantino's Alternate History Shared Universe along with Django Unchained, Inglorious Basterds, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. A combination of this and Artistic License â€“ Geography: Warren did time in a Confederate prison camp in West Virginia. West Virginia, which was founded during the war, was the only state to separate from a Confederate state (Virginia) in order to stay in the Union. Granted, there were plenty of supporters of the Confederacy left in WV after its separation (as was always the case in border states), but it would be a very unlikely and unsafe place for a permanent Confederate POW camp. (There were no such camps located there in real life.) The first African American commissioned officer was Henry Ossian Flipper in 1877 with a rank of second lieutenant. Warren's rank of major is therefore an anachronism, and he certainly would not have held that rank during the Civil War. It is possible he held the rank of sergeant major though.

Gage even knows this and tauntingly reminds him of it when Mannix turns the gun his way. To a lesser extent, he tolerates Warren, as Warren works for the law by bringing in bounties. As much as Mannix's racist ass would love to kill him, they're both lawmen.

The Hateful Eight / int_7febc23b	comment	Establishing Character Moment: Daisy is almost immediately racist and rude to Warren, and John Ruth brutally elbows her in the nose and spews a stream of invective at her. Hey, he's bringing her in alive, not in perfect condition. Warren himself is introduced waiting patiently in the snow for a passing stagecoach, and politely requesting a ride when one appears. Notably, he is waiting in the middle of the road, seated on a small pile of corpses he is in the process of transporting so as to claim their bounties. Mannix is a former Confederate war criminal who claims to be the new sheriff of Red Rock. While Ruth dislikes him and wants to leave him behind, Mannix manages to weasel his way onto the stagecoach by detailing the legal consequences Ruth would face for willfully leaving someone to freeze to death in a blizzard, showing that he's smarter than he looks. Everyone in the lodge when O.B.'s Stage arrives is given one pretty quickly: Bob is introduced as a stereotypical Mexican mixing English with Spanish, Oswaldo Mobray is portrayed as being a peppy little Englishman with a jovial nature, Joe Gage appears to be a quiet loner who sits in the corner and rarely speaks, and Sanford Smithers is a crooked old (racist) man who rebuffs people and makes harsh comments. In truth, Sanford is the only one who is legit: the other three are given their REAL establishing moments in Chapter Five, where it's revealed that earlier that morning, they turned up at the lodge and murdered everyone there in cold blood, except for Smithers. They also make some rather cruel remarks about the innocent people that they just killed, calling them fat and dropping numerous N-Bombs.

The Hateful Eight / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: John Ruth's first reaction upon drinking the coffee at Minnie's is to spit it out. Later, after drinking the poisoned coffee, he spits out more than just coffee... Mobray explains to John Ruth and Daisy the difference between "justice" (which is systematic and orderly) and "frontier justice" (which, although satisfying, can be wrong as often as right). At film's end, a dying Warren and Mannix opt for frontier justice to hang Daisy for her crimes. When John Ruth shows Warren's Lincoln letter to Daisy, she spits on it, causing Warren to punch her right out of the stage. Since she's chained to John Ruth, he goes with her. In the snow, he complains that his arm was nearly torn off. After he dies around the end of the second act, Daisy (still tethered to his corpse) chops the same arm off trying to get free during the climax. John Ruth threatens to knock out Daisy's front teeth in Chapter One when she objects to Warren travelling in the stagecoach with them. He actually does just that later in the film before he dies. The chessboard between the two chairs at the fireplace. The conspicuous lack of a second player even though the game itself is clearly still in-progress is an early hint of someone having disappeared before Ruth's carriage arrives. When Warren asks Bob who the "idiot" is who broke the door latch, Bob grows defensive. It turns out that he accidentally shot it off while trying to take out one of Minnie's employees in the flashback. Warren carefully reloads his gun at one point, showing he is fully aware that he does not have Bottomless Magazines, but also foreshadowing his running dry later on. While Warren and John Ruth are discussing their different philosophies when it comes to bounty hunting, Warren comments, "Bringing in a desperate man alive's a good way to get yourself killed." Although Daisy doesn't kill John Ruth, he still dies because her gang is trying to free her, something that would be impossible if she was dead.

However, Mannix declines, suspecting that Daisy is bluffing and remembering that Daisy would have let him die by drinking the poisoned coffee. A self-induced version happens a bit earlier. After Jody makes his entrance and Oswaldo and Mannix shoot and wound each other, Mannix could and would very well have shot Gage too, and is indeed going to do so, as Gage has just confessed to being the one who poisoned the coffee, and Mannix himself asked Warren for permission to execute him in cold blood (just as Warren did to Bob) a minute earlier. However, just as Mannix is about to pull the trigger, Gage desperately reminds him that he is unarmed, and he arguably hit some spot, because Mannix ends up holding his fire for the moment. Mannix finally does shoot Gage only after he retrieves a gun and is going to fire at him and Warren.

The Hateful Eight / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
The Hateful Eight / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The song that plays as Joe Gage follows Minnie's hired man and kills him is a reference to the same song playing over a similar scene in The Last House on the Left. Mannix and Warren's final moments before the end credits seem to mirror a similar scene in Planet Terror when Sheriff Hague and JT, feuding throughout the movie, albeit on a friendlier note, spend their last moments together. The name of Samuel L. Jackson's character is one to the TV-Western producer/director Charles Marquis Warren. Daisy Domergue's blood-drenched face is a nod to Carrie (1976). Pete Hicox/Oswaldo Mobray shares a surname with Lt. Hicox, a character in Tarantino's previous film, Inglourious Basterds. Word of God is that at least one character in this movie is actually related to a character in one of his other movies, so this might be both intentional and continuity. Warren making Col. Smithers' son walk through the snow is a nod to the torture walk in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly... only even more sadistically homoerotic. The title is an allusion to Federico Fellini's 8Â½. The credits call it "The Eighth Film by Quentin Tarantino" and 8 is an Arc Number of the film, similar to Fellini who titled his film thus because he had made 7 1/2 films before his masterpiece. Six-Horse Judy is bouncy and hyperactive in the manner of Doris Day in Calamity Jane. Both women dress alike, Jane rides shotgun on a stagecoach whilst Judy drives, and when entering their chosen drinking establishments Jane sits on the bar while Judy perches on a table. Some of the lighting during the exterior shots of Minnie's Haberdashery during the blizzard is reminiscent of The Thing. O.B. and Mannix setting up a guide rope to the outhouse establishes another prop that was important in The Thing, and the overall story ends with the last two surviving members of the cast (two men, one black and one white) victorious... but nonetheless in conditions that all but guarantee that they won't be surviving for that much longer. John and O.B. vomit blood after drinking the poisoned coffee, just like how Yuka vomits blood after eating poisoned food in Battle Royale. The movie can be reminiscent of an extended version of BR's lighthouse massacre, where someone getting poisoned instigates the eventual shoot-out.

The Hateful Eight / int_ff5a74c8	type	Talking Is a Free Action
The Hateful Eight / int_ff5a74c8	comment	Talking Is a Free Action: Subverted. Jody takes a few moments while surrendering to Warren and Chris to share a warm moment with his sister. Warren brutally blows his head apart. Also subverted for Mannix, who stands up to finish his dismissal of Daisy's offer, only to fall briefly unconscious from blood loss.

The Hateful Eight / int_ffad4e9f	type	Shown Their Work
The Hateful Eight / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: General Smithers is accused of murdering African-American Union soldiers and other war crimes, several of which were really committed by Confederates during the American Civil War, along with selling soldiers back into slavery. It got so bad that Lincoln and Ulysses Grant refused to exchange prisoners of war until the South treated African-American soldiers fairly.
