Marquis is the lone black man in the room and it’s clear that he’s worried the elderly white man who fought to keep slavery alive wants him dead.
The Oscar-nominated actor said he stepped inside of Marquis’s mind for a moment as he tried to re-create the flashback. “ wrote it, I had an opportunity to massage it, work on it, and put the beats together.” Jackson heaped praise on Tarantino, who wrote the scene - though the actor did put his signature spin on it, delivering the unedited realness we’ve seen him expertly pull off many times before. (We still don’t know what was in that briefcase in Tarantino’s modern classic, 1994’s Pulp Fiction.) The actor smirked, then added: “ you gotta decide, is it the truth or not?” We’ll likely never know the answer to that. “To be able to tell a story like that, and to tell it with a straight face, in context, and give it the weight that it needs to be an honest and true and hateful-ass story, it’s a real privilege.” When it came to film that scene - which Jackson did opposite actor Craig Stark - he was prepared, and actually honored. I said, ‘How many of you would audition for that guy?’ And they were all like.” he paused and raised his hand. The only question Jackson - and some of his co-stars - had for Tarantino was: How many people would audition to play a character who walks through the snow naked and simulates a blow job on Jackson - and nothing more? “Then we thought about it, and go, ‘Well, it's a Quentin Tarantino movie. “And Bruce is just such a great character to have and to say something like that to.” It was all about getting it there, putting it in the right context, seeing it, getting it out there, understanding who I was doing it to,” he told BuzzFeed News in a recent interview. The scene, Jackson said, was in the script from the first time he read it. As the images that correspond with Marquis’s words play onscreen, he says he met Smithers’ son, forced him to strip naked, held him at gunpoint, and, when he begged for warm clothing, Marquis told him he’d comply if he went down on him. Sandy Smithers (Bruce Dern) in a slow, detailed, dramatic fashion, that he had a chance encounter with the ex-Confederate general’s son, whom he was in search of. Marquis Warren (Jackson) - an ex-Union soldier and bounty hunter - describes to Gen. Jackson, the scene that dramatically concludes right before intermission* in Quentin Tarantino’s latest (more than three-hour) film The Hateful Eight is all about the epic speech his character gets to deliver.įor everyone else, it’s all about the blow job.
