  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY QUENTIN TARANTINO 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  The Hateful Eight is a 2015 American Western thriller directed by Quentin Tarantino. Set in a remote Wyoming haberdashery during a snowstorm, eight strangers seek refuge, including bounty hunters, outlaws, and a sheriff. As tensions rise, secrets are revealed, and alliances are formed amidst growing suspicion. The film explores themes of betrayal, revenge, and justice, with sharp, witty dialogue and intense confrontations. The confined setting and escalating violence reflect the harsh realities of post-Civil War America. With a focus on character-driven suspense, Tarantino blends dark humor and brutal action to examine moral ambiguity and survival in a hostile environment. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “After the script was leaked online, Quentin Tarantino initially didn’t want to make the film. However, after a brief reading in Los Angeles, the cast became excited about the project. With Samuel L. Jackson's encouragement, Tarantino decided to go ahead with it.” 
    
  “Some of Ennio Morricone's compositions for the film were previously unused scores from The Thing (1982), a movie starring Kurt Russell.” 
    
  “At one point, Joe Gage (Michael Madsen) says, "A bastard’s work is never done," which was a tagline for the poster of Inglourious Basterds (2009).” 
    
  “Daisy's song was performed live by Jennifer Jason Leigh on set. The song, along with sounds of wood being hammered and dialogue by Kurt Russell, is featured in the film’s soundtrack.”

  Kingdom of Kongo - Christianity...

  The Kingdom of Kongo emerged as one of the most powerful and centralized states in Central Africa. Its origins can be traced back to the early Bantu migrations, which spread agriculture, ironworking, and complex social structures across the region. By the 14th century, various smaller chiefdoms in present-day Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo began to coalesce under a single authority, forming what would become the Kingdom of Kongo. 
  The region’s fertile lands and access to major rivers facilitated both agriculture and trade. Kongo’s early economy relied on the cultivation of crops such as millet, sorghum, and bananas, as well as the production of iron tools and weapons. The abundance of natural resources allowed the ruling elite to accumulate wealth and expand their influence. As trade networks developed, Kongo became a center of commerce, linking the interior regions of Central Africa with coastal markets. 
  Kongo's social and political organization was highly structured. At the top of the hierarchy was the king, known as the Manikongo, who ruled from the capital, Mbanza Kongo. The Manikongo exercised authority over provincial rulers, who governed different regions of the kingdom. This system allowed for centralized administration while also granting local leaders autonomy in managing their territories. The kingdom was further divided into districts and villages, with a bureaucratic structure that ensured tax collection, military organization, and judicial functions.
