With tickets to see Tarantino's new film, I had to go back and watch the others again. Whether this will be successful or not, I have made it through the first film and have nine to go. After starting with Reservoir Dogs, I think that this task will not be too hard. I truly love this film and it is a film that strives off of witty dialogue, plot twists, a fantastic compilation soundtrack, and of course Taratino-esque violence. The classic shows off a star-studded cast that Tarantino still constantly works with. For example, Tim Roth and Michael Madsen are both appearing in The Hateful Eight and I am truly grateful for this. What amazing actors these two are, playing off of each others characters and giving there all for the dramatic story.
Of course, the plot brings quite a bit of ingenuity to the films. The who-dun-it model keeps the audience guessing until the very end. Not only that, the timeframe is unique as it shifts to past events and back into the present day. This helps the plot reveal itself in a much more mysterious method. This type of directing really set up and foreshadows a lot of Tarantino's later films as he has often used it over and over again for his sleek style.
Finally, it is crucial to bring up the compilation soundtrack for this film. This is another tool that Tarantino has used to compliment his movies. All of the 70s music really brings the audience into the time period that the movie supposedly takes place in. Maybe I just love 70s beats, but every scene has some sort of iconic piece of music that keeps me focused on the screen through its constantly pushing tempo. The music creates a flow that the film might not have without it.
The Bottom Line: This is a fantastic film that foreshadows most of Tarantino's later films through its unique style and method.
Score: 9.7/10
