>Black friend in high school makes me watch Jackie Brown one day at his house
>He's laughing his ass off the entire time and I'm just kinda like "okay"
>10 years later and he's in prison for rape and assault with a deadly weapon
What could this mean?

>his best is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
why? I've seen praise for it here, mostly amounting to "I like the ""vibe""". What about it makes it better than his 90s films? Doesn't seem like it comes close to them really, though it least he avoided inserting the cartoonish violence marking Basterds etc.

He made 2 white gangster movies that were relatively low budget.
I don't want to fag up the room by saying racism made Jackie Brown less popular despite being a better movie. I didn't even like it initially, but the dialogue here is quite good. The movie arguably flows better than his first two. I usually skip the Bruce Willis part in Pulp Fiction, but there's nothing to skip here.
Kill Bill had anime tier dialogue written for it. It felt like a Nostalgia Critic movie with a big multi million dollar budget. Think about it. If Doug wrote the Superman speech you wouldn't respect it as much. You certainly wouldn't be impressed.

It's interesting that Tarantino was one of the few directors who kikes gave leeway to dialogue out aloud what most people thought. I wonder why he was given this privilege...

You must've have fell asleep from boredom and missed the ending. OUaTH is a really really lame movie. At least Basterds is rewatchable for the performances. There is nothing worth watching that smoking and listening to music while driving cars simulator

Both, that he was attuned to higher-brow humour, and that you're a standard deviation below your society's average I. Q..

whites seem to be the only who can feel guilt, which it's used against them by demons/orcs/rats. Then it's also the reason whites get reduced sentences for crimes because they actually are remorseful and show guilt, while the rest just dont give a fuck about the victims or their families and drag them through a process of lies and bullshit and scapegoating to get a lowered sentence from a sheboon judge because everyone has been so hard on the non-remorseful guilt free P.O.C.

Its more like you were allowed to shittalk PC culture / affirmative action more in 1990s early 2000s. It wasn't the standard, but its still acceptable in cop shows (The Shield) and prison shows (Orange is the New Black) because those industries need positive propaganda that's realistic just like the military.
They even vindicated Kevin Spacey having a klansman father in House of Cards after showing why his white wife was note deserving of a senator seat of a black district than a black woman.

no it's because Jackie Brown is a love letter to the 80s and the others are really bizarre interesting movies, from your criticism it's obvious you don't get it. JB is the special interest film and the others are crowd pleasers.

He was fantastic in this film. Tarantino never did anything that comes close to his and Jackie's little "relationship." Good stuff.
>>219825514
Yeah there was that part, but at least the cartoon violence wasn't over and over like some films. So some people just love the vibe/setting of Once upon.

Anyway, i rambled a bit, but that was kind of my point. This was a soulful movie, that got ignored and insulted and he immediately made the ultimate capeshit movie to universal acclaim.
Then he makes ANOTHER personal movie, Death Proof, which has a higher ratio of dialogue to events and filler dialogue to important dialogue than even Reservoir Dogs.

>1/4 black people in my state have a felony and its ultra liberal Minnesota. wild stuff really.
Then Minnesota isn't liberal enough. Should elect some communists to turn it into a utopia that overcomes the racist socioeconomic conditions that cause these phenomena.

He's the only black man I know who openly regretted voting for Obama, while admitting he just voted black.
If nothing else, atleast he's honest.
I also saw a commercial or PSA or something where Sam says something along the lines of "blame your parents, blame society, blame drugs, blame everyone except the fool in the mirror who pulled the trigger" urging criminal blacks to take personal responsibility.

Tarantino’s movies are very character-driven and are subject to the highs and lows of the actors he directs. Tarantino gives them ample material to be great but the spotlight is on the acting at the end of the day. He gets his directing out of the way as much as possible and gives them soapboxes to do their thing. As such, ranking his movies doesn’t really work since you’re either ranking the performances of his actors (i.e. not him) or you’re ranking his ability to get the fuck out of the way of his actors, which is a silly metric.
Consider True Romance. His script gives Hopper and Walker a long time to just act with one another. Both miss the point of the scene entirely and it doesn’t matter at all because they’re entertaining enough to make doing literally anything work. How do you praise Tarantino’s script in that case when it didn’t help at all? Giving people long monologues is hardly the mark of a great director (at least by itself).
