django was his worst film, easily.




death proof was weird..

that movie probably had the biggest 180 turn (from classic to trash) since 'sunshine'

the story with the first group of girls was awesome. dialogue was snappy, music choices were perfect. kurt was awesome, and the crash was very memorable

and then the second group of girls comes it...:dahell: easily the WOAT tarantino characters i've seen. the dialogue falls off and gets annoying, and they ruin kurt russell's character. it was like what the fukk happend :what: the second half was just bizarre as hell

if death proof had been a 30 minute short film that ended at the crash it probably would've been my favorite tarantino flick
Second half was weak but that car chase might be top 5

Be mad cause white folks were still calling african-americans the n-word right after the civil war breh.

Is QT not allowed to be real and show the times for what they were? Or how racist white folks were (which hasn't changed much)?

tarantino makes fiction...i dont think the abundant used of the word ****** in his last 2 movies is him trying to get the language of the period accurate or show how racist white people were...tarantino using the word ****** to make you either like or dislike the characters...i also think he just likes using the word...the audience wouldnt complain about his fiction not being authentic or "real" because the black characters dont get called ****** enough..or would they:lupe:?...

I think you should try to explain your point better again. How did you come to this conclusion when again Django is during slavery times, and the hateful 8 is right after the civil war where one of the things they were fighting over was slavery?

And for the other idiot, people aren't questioning you for not liking Django just because you are black. People are questioning you because it seems you have missed the very simple and sometimes heavy message in the film that usually appeals to people who have experienced any type of racism.

I don't want to judge people by their taste in film but :mindblown: at the things you guys are complaining about.

Whats the word on hatefull 8 ? Another classsic or another deathproof? :lupe:
8.4 at imdb on the one hand and the usual tarantino hate on the other. i guess if you like his style you will enjoy the movie, and if you don't you won't.

:francis: the whole point of the movie django was to expose the absolute barbarianism of the system of slavery and a big :ufdup:to the people who try and romanticize the old south. you don't hear the character of schulz use the n word do you? that's because he is the character that the audience is supposed to identify with. and he is the outsider looking in in absolute horror at the aspects of history that the us tries to gloss over. that's why he shoots di caprio at the end, even though he knows it means certain death for himself. he just can't bear it anymore. you will also note that the black character of django is stronger than schulz. he manages to conceal his emotion and get the revenge he was looking for, which turns the concept of white centrality on it's head. the white people who do use the n word in the movie are brutes and he let's them speak the way they do in order to leave no doubt about who they are. tarantino did not use the n word because he gets off on it, he used it with a purpose and that was, along with the violence and his mocking of the attempts of speaking french and having polite conversation, to dispell any notion of benevolent masters and a cozy, cultured old south. now we can discuss whether or not white people should be allowed to use the n word, and you can argue that tarantino was misguided in the way he went about exposing slavery for what it was. but you can't say that he just likes using the word, because in django it definitely served a purpose.

it was overly long and badly structured. the whole third act dragged on and on and on and the end was anticlimactic. basically, tarantino had material for one and a half movies and tried to make it two instead of just using the best of what he had and turn it into one movie.

Nah fam dude likes to say nikka in his films. How does Chris Penn saying nikka this and nikka that in reservoir dogs develop his character, especially considering there weren't any black people in the film? In pulp fiction, was dead nikka storage really necessary? Neither of those films took place during slavery or the reconstruction era.
