I totally second Mr T in his opinion on
Tarantino.
Since years, I spread my own similar opinion
about this joker as film
maker…
Mr Tarantino just make a voluntarily confusion
between caricature of
a genre and the genre itself. His films are mere
acrobatic pastiches
treated as parody of the genre…
He does not even understand why some films by
others were great.
He just tries to master the camera in his empty
pastiches: all in
visual aggression, nothing in substance. He is the
killer of genre movie.
At best he is just an Americanized version of
Claude Lelouch (French
master of unnecessary filming effects applied to empty
stories at best,
to conventionally ridicule developments most of the
time). Of course
Tarantino played the same game on other grounds: his
territory is noir
films heritage, violence and popcorn teenagers films.
All this to make
his painstaking parodies. Certainly not neo-noir. Just
neo-junk. With
budgets.

I just picked up a book on Tarantino, written by Jerome
Charyn: RAISED BY WOLVES. I haven't started it yet. Anyone
here read it?
