Tarantino's new movie "The Hateful Eight" is translated to "Os Oito Odiados" which can be translated to "The Hated Eight".

Is this a correct translation of the title? Doesn't the title actually mean that these eight people are full of hatred and not actually hated?

The Hateful Eight does mean the eight are full of hatred though in the movie they do seem to be the hated eight since the are all refugees from the storm and outcasts.

Oito Odiados seems to translate to Hateful Eight in Portugese here

    Your answer really doesn't state what hated means, as you are only referencing characters (refugees) we don't know. Just being refugees doesn't explain why they are "hated".

  • Are you saying outcasts by definition are hated (as a language question)? But if it is in the context of this movie, it should be stated as such.
