Granted. When you try to get complicated solutions to normal, simplistic problems you sometimes run into trouble. A factor that has plagued Tarentino for years is the extent of the dialogue throughout the film. It appears to me that there are implications that Q.T relies on dialogue to tell a story as a filmmaker. A story in a film should be told through visual aspects not in non stop dialogue. Most movies with neverending dialogue make me quite drousy in a visceral sort of surrounding.
This is a genre piece and when your making a genre piece you can't refuse the obligatory scenes. the expository scenes in this film are useless and quite pathetic.
Granted. There are some genius direstors who get away with it, but by and large it makes me angry to see a good, major director subordinate the content of an expository scene to style so that you can tall what's going on and who's doing what to whom.
Tarentino blew up too early in his career without ever getting his chance at what some brilliant directors now call there warm up years... period. |
