his best work would be pulp fiction. maybe. but I don't categorize films that way. i never saw the kill bill movies as ambitioning more than what they accomplished. maybe other people did, and saw them as who knows what back then, and now comes the backlash because they weren't...what? prfound enough? groundbreaking? you guys tell me cause they always were bubble gum entertainment to me. and you can make a masterpiece in that also. vol. 2 fails to me precisely because at the end is just like this overexplanation of things, and it's just not fun anymore.
Everything to Tarantino is cinema. Everything is equal and everything is worthwhile. That has been his philosophy for the last eight years and it has allowed him to talk about Kill Bill with no remorse about it's less than grand interests. Kill Bill is still exalted art to Tarantino. A lot of his followed have flocked to this ideology.
You like it as entertainment and I'm glad you do, but others aren't that simple about their appreciation. Because the film cross references different genres, they have found it's multi layered and ripe for critical inspection. That has led to some annoying statements about its
artistry and I think they should be backed up. I don't mind statements about it being good entertainment because everyone's sense of entertainment, like comedy, is wholly different and hard to really debate. Like Austen Powers would say, it's not my bag, baby.
I'm more against those who are bellying it up to unnecessary things. You said masterpiece and I took exception, but you explained yourself well.
