      Prince Luci that’s the whole commentary dumbass. No one is truly wicked, no one is truly racist. Domergue says the n word, the hangman says the n word and Chris says the n word and is particularly racist. In fact his whole family identity centers around the confederacy and hate for slaves. However even in a weak moment, Chris is not just one thing, because no person is just a racist or one thing.

    I like how Mannix shows more and more layers as the movie goes on. He is, like the rest, obviously not what you expect, at the beginning. He is the only character who bothers to ask O.B. if he is okay after O.B. comes in and wraps himself up by the fire in the blanket like a burrito. He is the only one who tries to coax the Colonel into joining the others at the table and eating something. I loved that the first time he sits at the table, he chooses to sit next to Warren. They both look at each other for a moment, and say nothing. That moment sticks in my mind for some reason, I am not sure why. Mannix is also one of the only characters who tries to stop what is about to happen between Warren and the Colonel. He is the only character who visibly flinches at the violence going on around him, and he's pretty much the only one who hesitates before using violence. When you consider what John Ruth says Mannix's family is famous for, it makes you think. I have to wonder if Mannix himself was a part of it at all. If he thought what his father was doing was justified, why did he leave home and go so far away ? What a fascinating character, I wanted more of him !

      He also is 100% the Sheriff of Red Rock, considering during the penultimate shootout:
      Grouch just admitted to poisoning the coffee, but Chris refuses to shoot him after he shows he is unarmed, there is NO ONE alive in that room besides Marquis who is not a murderer at that point, it would have been logical for Chris to shoot all 3 (plus Jody in the basement)

      Mannix was arguably the most sympathetic of the main protagonists. He wasn't a cold-blooded murderer like Daisy and her crew, a liar like Warren, and he also lacked the temper and aggression of John Ruth who beats the crap out of Daisy for relatively minor insults. His only vice was his racism but that was more a product of that time period and he was also the son of an extremely racist Confederate general so it obviously rubbed off on him. Even then, he still sees Warren as his equal (more or less) by the end and even turned down Daisy's offer to save him.

  • @nikagogibedashvili6476
    @nikagogibedashvili6476 5 років тому +625

    I would add one comment about Major Marquis who is clearly the most focused character of the movie in my opinion:
    Major enters the haberdashery last and faces the a full room of white people who openly assault him with racism and 3 of them have conspired against his one and only ally in the room. He is mocked, exposed of falsification of his greatest achievement (being a pen pal of Lincoln), yet he manages to strive step-by-step. He becomes one of the 2 men with the gun, he kills his war enemy, he takes control of the situation when the conspired trio starts to act and he even distributes his power over everyone to a legit sheriff of the town! That who he is, the man who always starts at the bottom because of his skin colour, but nows how to reach the top.
    It is critical to understand what brings him to his demise - a bullet from the bottom, a bullet from a hidden man. He is so accustumed of facing open challenges that he knows how to solve every problem, but he is not used to hidden danger, because every one he faces is very forward in his/her arrogance towards him because of his color. So he dies from a bullet from the man he did not see, because being black means he does not know how to identify the invisible problems, because everyone make sure that black man face as much problems as possible directly.
    A great character, one of my favorites of all time!

    Marques did shoot his son. The evidence of this is that Marques is outside doing stable work while the General is offering his son's full name, and his reason for traveling to Wyoming. Tarantino makes sure that Marques is unavailable to hear the story so that there is no question that his story and full name reveal is the truth.

      Possibly, but highly likely exaggerated. Chris Mannix seems to ironically be the one voice of truth throughout a movie full of deception. He called out the fake Lincoln almost instantly, so when he when told the old man that marquis was just trying to get a reaction I believe that is the case.

    Tarantino isn't a guy who makes great movies, he's a genius who makes genius movies. Tarantino is pretty much the "Kubrick" of my generation. They're both brilliant geniuses who have made some of the absolute best and most intelligent movies ever (without being too over-the-too and remaining extremely good movies to the unintelligent or not-so-thoughtful/analytical person-no small feat...)
    There's a reason every single Tarantino film has a cult following. Like Kubrick, Tarantino does practically _nothing_ on accident. You can pick it apart for days and not get to the bottom of everything. Everything means something, practically every detail exists for a specific and meaningful reason. It's incredible. It's truly artistic. Things you don't even notice until your fifth or sixth time watching end up having incredibly deep meaning and purpose.
    The biggest irony of all of this (in your excellent video,) is how the America this movie is such a brilliant commentary on, received and watched this movie without thinking anything much more than "Wow! What a dope-ass action movie! Cool!" and then forgot about it completely. It happened that way specifically because of the very blindness or apathy that a massive chunk of this movie was literally pointing to with its message and symbolism.
    What a travesty of its own original intent the US has become.

      I work with a self confessed Tarantino fan. He’s told me several times how he loves Tarantino movies but oddly enough he doesn’t like the slower paced ones lacking more consistent “action” because I think he doesn’t understand them and doesn’t really identify with Tarantino’s style. I’ve told him you have to read between the lines the most when you think the least is happening on screen. Even with slower scenes that may seem irrelevant, Tarantino will have his actors use their sheer raw skill of acting to draw something from nothing to create a powerfully acted scene that kind of digs up the nostalgia of when cinema goers would go to a movie during let’s say the 50’s, 60’s & 70’s because an actor had exceptional talent and you want to go and watch their acting performance first & foremost. This is most evident in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood with many of the Di Caprio scenes. There’s enough scenes in that movie where you’re constantly thinking, “man this guy can seriously act.” Brad Pitt’s character does steal the show hands down, but by the end of that movie you get a whole new appreciation for Di Caprio’s ability to perform in front of the camera even though you already knew he was a great actor.

I am not American (from Greece, actually - although I have a good knowledge of quite a few parts of American History), so you presented that extra detail to understand and absorb this film even better.
    IMHO and in conclusion: "The Hateful Eight" remains a GREAT movie, a classic Tarantino film! And unfortunately, it also remains underrated - which is a pity.
    PS: this specific movie put me well into the "Tarantinoverse" - years after I had seen "Pulp Fiction" in the 90s (and I was also impressed).

    What I like the most about this movie is that it's a Western that deviates from the stereotypical Western. Most Westerns involve a story that's almost like a Frontier Odyssey across deserts and prairies. The Hateful Eight is set in the snowy mountains during a blizzard in a remote cabin that all characters are trapped at. Not even a town or anything. Most Westerns involve goods guys and bad guys that are clashing throughout the story. The Hateful Eight has no good guys, only bad guys and worse bad guys or at the least, somewhat decent people who have no qualms about doing horrendous things.

      Mannix says more than once (and at least once Warren is in ear shot and says nothing but looks embarrassed) that during the war, Warren had a "yellow stripe down his back". Yellow implies cowardice. His burning down the jail (and killing dozens of people without a care) also seems to imply this. So, the inside of the coat being yellow, could mean much of his bravado is for show, and underneath it, he has his cowardly moments. I honestly wish the movie would have just been about Mannix and Warren meeting up after years apart. Both are fascinating characters and I could have watched a movie about them alone. There is far too much going on with both of them, together and separate, and sadly most of it did not get explored to it's fullest potential.
