So when people say that this is their favorite Tarantino movie, or Tarantino's best work, they're joking, right? Or at the very least being contradictory?
>>68977175
Nothing gets passed you OP
>Or at the very least being contradictory?
basically
we all know that Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs are his masterpieces but those choices are too popular so we favor his third best instead
It's his least 'Tarantino-y' movie, so I can see it being someone's favorite if they don't particularly like his style. Apart from that, it's a great movie, but I can't fathom thinking it's nearly as good as Pulp Fiction.
>>68977175
That, Pulp Fiction, and Resorvior Dogs, are his only movies that has some artistic quality to it and isn't just an overlong shlocky piece of shit.
>>68977234
This, it's the one movie he made that doesn't rely heavily on timeline gimmicks and excessive amounts of violence. In this way it's the one movie he made that's closest to traditional cinema, and it's really well done.
>>68977175
I do love it but his best will always be pulp/reservoir.
No, it's his best, most mature movie.
I'm sorry it's over your head, OP. Maybe you'll understand it when you're older.
It's the only one of his movies that ever tried to hint at deeper themes. It's about aging and not knowing what to do with your life.
>>68977234
Also this, kind of. It's nice to see that Tarantino tried to move past gimmicks at one point. Of course, it didn't make as much money as Pulp Fiction and critics didn't like as much, so Tarantino lost his shot and started making nothing by gimmicky schlockfests.
>>68977175
The thing is, Tarantino can draw characters with his eyes closed because it's one of his strengths. Here, he was obliged to focus on the American environment and it's so vividly expressed that everything feels grounded.
It has an excellent reversal of fortune that doesn't seem excessively dire as well, it comes entirely from the characters and not from a plot mechanism.

It's one of those backwards meme things. They say Jackie Brown is the best and Death Proof is the worst even though the opposite is true.
>>68977175
It's just got so much heart I can't help but love it.

How many other movies would have Melanie survive to testify in court?
>>68977689
God, de Niro was perfect in that movie.
>>68977767
But they're both great?
Too controlled, maybe? Too staged?
It diverges from the lead like Psycho, but it happens too late.
>>68977805
>lew-ISS?
>>68977805
the moment with Jackson and De Niro after in the car is so amazing. "You used to be beautiful."
Tarantino's best movie easily OP
>>68978220
It's a small arc, but it works so well. If Louis hadn't had sex with Melanie, would she have antagonized him by the end?
>>68977841
It might be one of the last movies he actually put effort into.
>>68977175
Just re-watched Inglorious Bastards. Could be my favorite desu senpai.
1. Inglorious Bastards
2. Pulp Fiction
3. Reservoir Dogs
4. Django Unchained
5. Hateful 8
6. Kill Bills
7. jackie Brown
You know that quote, "They'll forget what you said and forget what you did, but they'll always remember the way you made them feel."
That's apparent with Jackie Brown, it has such a strong environmental Theme... The 'dianoia' is prevalent and so moralistic that it casts a shadow over his entire repertoire.
>>68977205
>passed
>>68978534
senpai its one of his worst films apart from the first scene. watch the original miles better.
>>68977175
Pulp Fiction > Jackie Brown > Inglorious Basterds > Reservoir Dogs > Kill Bill > Django Unchained > The Hateful Eight > Death Proof
>>68978648

Dumb ghettoposter
Pulp Fiction's dianoia is interesting... It has the selective elements that Tarantino is so fond of, but it's ultimately set in a wider European context.
It seems like Travolta represents something about Southern Europe's reliance of Theme, and Willis represents something about Northern Europe's reliance on Theme.... It just happens to take place in America, which isnt depicted as having a firm social context.
>>68977175
Anyone who says this is their favorite is certifiably retarded.
>>68978960
funny since he is a director that frequently "borrows" from ghetto moves. reservoir dogs may as well be a city on fire remake.
>>68979042
good job analyzing a joint
Inglourious Basterds is his best movie. It's unfortunate that a lot of the film's irony goes over most people's heads, and they think it's just an action/comedy movie.
Jackie Brown is still a good movie though. Definitely not his best.

Somehow, the Lord turns my darkness into light...
>>68978162
too controlled i wish it was crazier honestly
kurt pulled off the charismatic maniac way too well to only do it in one movie
>>68978643
Using the word dianoia is a really good way to make yourself sound smarter while simultaneously being vague good job
>>68980165
Dianoia basically means Theme, but it has more specific context. I wasn't trying to lose you.
>>68977175
It's probably his most restrained film
>>68977175
Why, it's his most realistic film. Like this anon said >>68977234
>>68978162
Yeah, too much women talking, should have had more Russel
>>68980468
you took that very well thanks
but in what world does catharsis mean clarification? who came up with those definitions i'm unfamiliar with them
>>68977222
damn this post hit too close to home, I want to say Pulp fiction is my fav, but i dont want to look like a casual scum.
>>68981566
It's objectively the best thing he's ever done. It becomes more apparent with each viewing
>>68977175
This is the one Tarantino film where the film making craft still takes my breath away. It's my favorite of his by far, I love it so much.
>>68977175
All of his 90s movies are great. I enjoy Hateful eight though
