An Unauthorized New Analysis of Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight

The Hateful Eight is not only one of Quentin Tarantino’s most thoroughly enjoyable motion pictures since Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown; it’s also one of his craftiest achievements. This exciting unauthorized analysis exposes the compelling evidence for a truly astonishing hidden plot detail: The true underlying reason behind the presence of Civil War veteran Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson) in Tarantino’s 2015 western thriller is so much more complex—and more devious—than we thought to imagine!

With a meticulous eye for detail, this book sheds light on the power of this clever, unspoken plot point to dramatically transform our view of the film in its entirety—and to give us an enhanced appreciation of the astounding deftness of one of the most spellbinding writer-directors of our time.
