Appreciate your viewpoint. I was hedging about whether to see it but think I will. I like much of Tarentinos work. Over the top with absolutely no regard for political correctness. Uninhibited adolescence. I don’t sense a lefty political tilt. More of an unleashed comic book store nerd who wants to make wild movies to satisfy himself. To be honest I liked Inglorious Bastards too. For that matter I liked A Clockwork Orange by Kubrick too. Another violent movie with an anti-hero. Anyway, Tarentino isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, my wife hates him, but I don’t believe he is a sanctimonious left-winger either. With tax hikes, gun confiscation, and Obama’s attempt to destroy our economy, this is pretty small change.
I'll pass on this. I don't like Tarantino's films for the most part. I. Think he's a film buff and former video store nerd who knows a lot about films and filmmakers and who makes highly derivative movies. They are directed and photographed well, which makes them look 'arty' to today's audiences.
The only film of his that I really liked was PULP FICTION. I liked KILL BILL PART 1, but found Part 2 talky and pretentious. I hated INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS. A film about Jewish soldiers scalping Nazis and then wreaking vengeance on the Nazi high command just seemed in bad taste considering that the Jews were lambs to the slaughter. I failed to see the cleverness of having them win some sort of fantasy version of WW2.
As to whether QT is a big lib, I still remember him announcing Michael Moore's Oscar at the ceremony and declaring "Michael, this wasn't political". I'm also gonna pass on this because I do think it is inflammatory. Yet another movie trying to make the point that 'whitey still wants to keep the black man down' and starring an idiot racist to boot.
