I wouldn't say that. You mean he's been called out on numerous occasions, till it transpired that he has a distorted view of black people,.The sort of view that inhabits the brain of your average white geeky jerk, and the result has been him having to explain the motivations behind such rubbish movies.

So Tarantino also has a distorted view of asian people because of his homages to Japanese samurai films and Chinese martial art films in Kill Bill?

Does he also have a distorted view of Italians in how they are represented in Reservoir Dogs?

I guess he also has a distorted view of Kurt Russell for making him play a serial killer.

He has a talent for portraying other ethnics solely in a cartoonish way, you're right.

no, he has said it upfront, saying jackie brown is a homage to blaxplotation, saying kill bill is his attempt at a cheapo kung fu/samurai/revenge film, etc.

I think we're talking about three different things, here: style, content and message. Tarantino is guilty on those three counts, but for all the wrong reasons.

Edit- By the third homage to other people's work, one would think that strong ideas of their own are lacking, wouldn'they?

[Everyneurotic]

well whatever.

people in general, this is going to be my final post on this thread, for whatever point of reference from this point on regarding my position on something:

-if you are slamming a movie i like: FUCK OFF YOU TASTELESS ASSHOLES, GO ROT IN HELL.

-if you are slamming a movie i don't like: WORD.


i'm done with you assholes.

I hated Amelie.
I am not a Lynch fan.
I am not a Wes Anderson fan.

But I need to defend Barry Lyndon, absolutely one of my favorite movies. Good god that movie is good. God.

all suck and are therefore overrated..

pretty much any film that's come out since the 00's that has had any acclaim.

and no there are no bad scorsesce films, his films are underrated if anything, raging bull rules my balls.

pirates isnt over rated. The musical score is fucking phenominal, and therefore saves them. and as a female, I would run away with jack sparrow in like two seconds.

matrix sucks but only because they ripped off other movies.

lord of the rings are over rated but in the same way that harry potter is. geek love can make things seem more popular than they actually are.. cos geeks come in droves. and dress up.


requiem is totally over rated though. I agree there.

tarantino doesnt play homage to fucking martial arts. hey plays hommage to blood and gore. fullstop.

I'm amazed people still even argue about Quentin Tarantino.

[phoenix]

Im not arguing. Im partaking in a thread.

Anything involving Christina Ricci is guaranteed to get a big cult following, despite the fact that it's poo.

Even Casper?

[atsonicpark]

actually, i can't decide if matrix revolutions or pirates of the caribean is the worst film ever.

kubrick is not overrated.. he's a master.

you guys are nuts.

anyway, most takashi miike films are overrated.

rob, even eraserhead? eraserhead is the shit!

speaking of tarantino, pulp fiction is probably overrated but i still like it a lot. i can recite the whole scene regarding the burgers and ezekiel 25:17 and whatnot.

Overrated by whom? It is at the moment underrated. When the film critics finally come together to praise it properly then you'll be pillaged.

[Cantankerous]

i can't fucking watch it just because it has tom cruise in it
didn't kubrick die during production or something?

No, after. He survived to camouflage the naughty sex that the MPAA deemed too risque for the kids. Fortunately EWS will soon be released on DVD in the states in its original uncut form. Silly Americans are too fuggin prude.

Tom Cruise I don't have a problem with. I never have. And I'm okay with that.
