I actually offered my other pass to a friend and he recoiled in disgust: I hate Quentin Tarantino! His movies are so fucking stupid! Don't talk to me about Quentin Tarantino!
I couldn't believe it.
So I used one pass and have another as a historic souvenir..
Tarantino films have a very sharp violent incline to them. Agreed.
When movies like Coffy and My Bloody Valentine (Canadian slasher flick) are among his all-time faves, you know where he stands.
Love him or leave him, he's a "unique" man among directors.
Violence in his movies is "movie violence". He's said it repeatedly.
Oscar, you might want to stay away from this one completely if the violence in his films is a big issue with you.
He's got some set pieces in Basterds that top even Kill Bill in agressiveness.
To me, this film is a Masterpiece. His first true Masterpiece.
The acting, the premise, the camerawork...it's all stellar.
But you can judge for yourself.
I haven't stopped thinking about the movie since I saw it, actually.
It really stays in the mind's eye...but that's just me.
