Seriously underrated - Death Proof (2007) Discussion

I agree. When most people saw grindhousehey preferred planet terror but I was always partial to death proof. I love Tarantinos dialogue and when I first saw it and even now the action scenes kept me on the edge of my seat. I *beep* love death proof. Love the women he casted

Every character talks as if they ARE Tarantino. This is true for pretty much all of his movies. I wouldn't call making every character sound like yourself "good dialogue."

It's definitely more jarring/annoying when his dialogue is coming out of these particular girls in this particular movie.

After reading through these threads, it's obvious that this film isn't rated higher because people are simply too dumb to understand it.

Pants up, don't loot.

I understand it perfectly, it's a straight forward movie, there's nothing to decipher about it, unless you call nods to other influences 'cryptic'. The movie to me is simply uninteresting for the vast majority of it.

So if you're seeing some hidden message that the dumb people who don't rate it aren't seeing, go on and tell us, what is it?

A non reply equals you're talking nonsense and there is nothing to be misunderstood.

It's a movie that caters to a specific audience, particularly fans of the 70's exploitation genre who understand Tarantino's inspirations. (Sexploitation, the road movie, Italian giallo, to name a few)
Most people I know who complain about it have either never seen the genre films that he's referencing, or have no interest in them, so the movie is unlikable to them. Naturally, he puts his trademark spin on these genres, which can equate to long dialogue scenes, but I never had a problem with that because I grew up with 70's cinema, and many movies included that as a film making technique.

I agree wholeheartedly. It was stunning. I felt like watching a 70s movie. What I don't agree on is on Nolan being overrated :P .

reply

[–] Deppererer 8 years ago

Agreed.
Nolan is one of the best directors working today.

If I could only own one Tarantino film, this one would be it.

It is half a good movie. The other half is QT's worst. I would rewatch this before I rewatched H8ful 8 though.
