this movie was insanely nihilistic politically and the whole 2nd half was essentially a horror film best loving thing tarantino's ever done edit: also reading this thread I don't get people saying there was "a twist", like yeah showing that everyone in the cabin was in cahoots to free Daisy could be considered a twist but it was so incredibly foreshadowed that they were all sick sons of bitches who were ready to kill it didn't come off like it was intended to be a real surprise, other than channing tatum being in the basement ready to blow up samuel l jackson's junk. the 2nd half tone shift was incredible, even Bruce Dern's death at the end of the 1st half was practically bloodless and then as soon as Kurt Russel drinks that coffee it's just a sprint to the hateful, sadistic bottom, with the "good guys" simply being the ones with the most deserving blood on their hands ParanoidInc fucked around with this message at 04:09 on Dec 26, 2015 |

I think that if people are uncomfortable with other's reaction to a piece of work, that's totally okay imo. It's just as okay as that same original reaction. They're not being an SJW or anything, they're just having a hard time mixing their reactions (horror, disgust) with others (outright laughter). I knew a guy who literally laughed through most of The Serbian Film, nicest guy you could meet otherwise but he found that sort of poo poo in film just hysterical. Made me incredibly uncomfortable, but that was the way he took that movie. I was mostly just horrified at the scene we're talking about but there was a group 2 rows above me that found it hilarious (only people in the theater who reacted that way in my showing). I can see why they found it funny, because the scene was ridiculous, but to me that only added to how grotesque the whole thing was. also stop loving bringing up authorial intent, jfc that's disingenuous and boring as hell

Chantilly Say posted:Doesn't that depend on what question you're asking? Some questions about movies care about intent, some care about death of the author. I don't think it helps to act like everybody finds one interesting and the other boring. this is true, you're right. in terms of scene construction and why certain things are done a certain way, yeah, intent matters a ton. I'm being just like the people who do bring up "BUT INTENT" every time I bring up "BUT DEATH"
