The Hateful Eight - 7/10

So much good in this movie, let down by the final third. It was turning out to be one of my favourite comedies, and everything after the 'reveal' wasn't as good.

And man Walton Goggins was amazing.

Bwahahaha "Poetic one like Noah"

Seriously?

 

[f22raptor]

over the years i have disappointed by movies that became sort of poetic like after earth. Also i read a Leo interview and he was saying the director did not make the film linear but poetic

Sons of Anarchy for me.

Worth a watch for the visuals and Tom Hardy alone.

Definitely poetic given some of the visuals.

Just a shot in the dark . . . Dead Poet's Society?

I would guess it's one that uses expressive symbolism rather than literal and linear storytelling modes.

Then The Revenant is not a poetic movie and Fury Road is.

I haven't seen Revenant yet but Fury Road is highly symbolic. I'm not saying I agree with the designation of 'poetic movie' btw, it seems reductive.

Not maybe fanie's infamous 'feelings movies'?

Speaking of poetic has anyone seen Terrence Mallicks Night of Cups?
Has quite a stellar cast.
