The Hateful Eight (2015)
The Hateful Eight (2015), an American Western film, was both written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. In the year 1877, Major Marquis Warren, a bounty hunter and Union Army veteran, makes his way to Red Rock, Wyoming with three dead bounties in tow. Stranded in a blizzard and with his horse out of commission, Warren hitches a ride on a stagecoach driven by O.B. Jackson. Also on board is John Ruth, known as ‘The Hangman’ for his profession as a bounty hunter, who has the fugitive ‘Crazy’ Daisy Domergue handcuffed to him for transport to her hanging in Red Rock. The two men had previously bonded over a personal letter from Abraham Lincoln owned by Warren. Along the way, Chris Mannix claims to be the new sheriff of Red Rock and joins the group. Mannix’s father had led a Confederate militia called Mannix’s Marauders during the war. During their journey, Ruth discovers that there is a Confederate bounty on Warren’s head for breaking out of and burning down a prisoner-of-war camp.
Taking refuge from the blizzard, they arrive at Minnie’s Haberdashery where Bob, a Mexican, claims to be watching over the place while Minnie and her husband Sweet Dave are away. The lodge also houses Oswaldo Mobray, Joe Gage, and Confederate general Sanford Smithers, who is trying to honor his missing son with a cenotaph. Ruth disarms everyone except Warren, who remains suspicious. Although Mannix respects Smithers as a war hero, Warren seeks revenge for Smithers’ execution of black prisoners at Baton Rouge. During dinner, Mannix voices doubts about the authenticity of the Lincoln letter. In response to Ruth’s disappointment, Warren explains that his fake letter gives him an advantage with white people.
