Ok, so the reason I am doing this a week late is because I knew I was going to see Hateful Eight this weekend. I also watched Django over the break for the first time and both of these movies were directed by Quentin Terentino. i have only seen one other Terentino film and that was Pulp Fiction, but after seeing these two I am a huge fan.
The two movies are fairly similar, but each have their own twists that make it original. I would have to say I like Cristoph Waltz and Jamie Fox together more than Kurt Russel and Samuel L. Jackson, and would rank Django as a better movie over all. I am starting to get a strong sense for Terentino's specific style choices. For example, he uses a ton of bloody scenes which I think are awesome. and, in Hateful Eight, there is only one set for the whole movie. It is very difficult t keep someone captivated for three hours with just one set, but for this movie it works. I would say Hateful Eight has more comedy, but the story in Django is just so awesome. Not to mention, that movie has the most epic cast.
Some of the most vulgar scenes occur in these two movies which seems to be a Terentino trend. In Hatfeul Eight you watch someone get hung very clearly with a close face shot and in Django you see numerous harsh torture scenes. In some cases it becomes hard to watch, but it makes the movies better and I really enjoyed them.
