In Reply to: Hateful Eight, Quentin gets too talky for the first half then a fun bloodbath (surprise) a lesser film by Q nt posted by PhilJ on December 31, 2015 at 09:53:16:
Squeamish and offended by violence, racism, and non-pc behavior? Who isn't?
I think this is what he is attempting: the best defense is a good offense. Full speed ahead into the jaws of what bothers you; no turning away; no flinching. Its an inoculation.
By wallowing in it, we come to see how futile, useless, and self-destructive all this is. It becomes comic (or tries to) so that we can see this stupid behavior and be more aware of it.
How effective this technique is in film, probably depends more on the viewer.
