The Ghoulish Eight. The actors of the next project Tarantino

"The Ghoulish Eight" is the film of the outstanding modern director Quentin Tarantino, whose basis is an alloy of classic genre film scenes with an inimitable author's style.

According to the Westerns

According to the evaluation of the famous film critics "The Ghoulish Eight" (the actors of the first plan: K. Russell, S. L. Jackson, T. Roth, M. Madsen, D. D. Lee, W. Goggins, D. Bishir) was created by the canons of canonical westerns The mid-60-ies of the twentieth century. The picture stands out from all the rich filmography of the scandalous director with his atmosphere, style, more moderate pace of plot action, while recalling all the previous projects of the director. In addition to unique unique, in short, Tarantino dialogues and pathos-grotesque bloodshed, the film has other features characteristic of Tarantino: the division of the plot into separate episodes-chapters, the presence of foul language, sparkling black humor, an abundance of close-ups and other distinctive strokes of camera work.

Plot

The action unfolds a few years after the Civil War in the United States, Wyoming. The reckless bounty hunter Velchatel (Kurt Russell) managed to capture the suspect in the murder of Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Lee). Now he is going to Redrok, in order to pass the fugitive to the hands of justice. On the way he meets a motley company: in the past, an officer supporting the northerners, now a harsh mercenary Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson) and introduced himself as the new sheriff of Radrok, a renegade, adherent of Southerners Chris Mannix (Walton Goggins). Because of the raging snowstorm, random companions are forced to hide in the nearest building, which is on the outskirts. Minnie, the hostess of the shop, is absent, and four more suspicious personalities are in charge instead. The atmosphere is heated, perhaps, not all guests will see the dawn.

One of the merits of the film

In the course of the development of the plot action, different stories from which the mosaic of the story develops, come to their logical climax. In the tape, two favorite subjects of Tarantino are clearly visible: a merciless criticism of sexism and racism and the search for justice, albeit quite original. To the shortcomings of the picture, some critics have attributed the lack of clear scripted conclusions to individual stories, but all as one to the virtues are the magnificent cast of the film "The Ghoulish Eight." Actors invited by the director to participate in the production of the tape, most of them already had experience of cooperation with Tarantino. All the movie stars coped magnificently with the director, but Samuel L. Jackson and Kurt Russell, who played desperate, elderly but still deadly bounty hunters, were especially good.

Veterans-pets

Samuel L. Jackson and Tim Roth already met on the set of the canonical "Pulp Fiction". Tim and Madsen together starred in inexorable "Mad Dogs", Madsen and Jackson in the aesthetic gangster saga "Kill Bill 2". In general, Samuel L. Jackson starred in 5 projects of Quentin Tarantino, and Madsen and Roth in three. This starry trinity is considered the actor's favorite actors, but the first film in which they all play together is the "Ghoulish Eight" tape. Actors, long accustomed to the tarantine style, made up a wonderful creative tandem. But they failed to "pull the blanket on themselves," overshadowing other performers.

"Captive" Daisy Domergue

For the role of Daisy, which as a result was performed by Jennifer Jason Lee, Tarantino initially invited Cathy Sakhoff. The actress visited several rehearsals and was practically approved for the role, but at the last moment the director listened to the producers who decided that the girl was too young and could not reliably reveal the image of one of the key characters. So Jennifer happened to reincarnate in Domergue, who met again on the set with Russell after the duet from "Backward thrust".

Lee is known as a performer of the roles of vulnerable, sometimes mentally inadequate, emotional and complex women. Her filmography contains more than 70 films, the most significant of which are: "Hitcher", "Spawn", "Jacket", "Amityville" and "Disgusting Eight". The actors who starred in the film with Lee were happy when she was nominated for Oscar for Daisy's role. The last tape in which the actress currently starred is the painting "Morgan" in 2016.

"Hangman" John Ruth (Kurt Russell)

"The Ghoulish Eight" lost a significant share of its charm, if the film star of the first magnitude Kurt Russell did not take part in its creation. The actor, who was at the peak of his popularity in the late 80's - early 90's, is known to a wide audience of viewers on numerous fighters and fantastic films. The most significant paintings in the filmography of Russell are the films "Bone Tomahawk", "Something", "Proof of Death", "Escape from New York" and "The Ghoulish Eight."

"Sheriff" Chris Mannix and "Mexican" Bob

American actor and producer Walton Goggins tried on the image of "Sheriff". He is the most popular performer of the telefilm "Shield". Among his significant paintings are "Predators" and a short film "Accountant". Goggins was repeatedly nominated for the Emmy film award as the best supporting actor.

Demian Bisheer, who played in the "Eight" Bob, a Mexican body and actor, was nominated for an Oscar for taking part in the drama "Better Life". According to Bishir, he was inspired by the film "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" with Jack Nicholson. The most successful films in the filmography of the actor are "Sex, shame and tears," "No news from God," "Cops in skirts," "Machete kills."
