Quentin Tarantino - The man and his movies

[kannannn]

Saw the film again on Saturday. 80% full, standing ovation in the end.

Liked the film better but don't think it's as good as PF/KB. The film is so not about the basterds. In fact the basterds were the weak links if I may say so. The trailer was sort of deceptive. When I saw it for the first time I thought saaptars 3 and 4 were a little boring but liked them this time around. First chapter was amazing. Those 15 minutes, I don't know what was happening to me. I mean I could not take my eyes off the screen. Very very arresting. Only Tarantino fossible. And the tension he builds up in chapters 4 and the climax

Feddy/Kannan/others (Spoliers)
1. Why does Waltz let Shosanna go in the first chapter? And does he recognize her in the restaurant scene?
2. Why does Waltz kill Kruger? She got what she deserved

Absolutely agree about the basterds link being the weakest. Matha thread'la irundha tension and drama idhula illa.

1. It is difficult to say why. As Feddy says, he perhaps thought it below him to kill a teenager. Andha restaurant scene is a bit of a puzzle. He does seem to pause at the most important moment and then continues as if he couldn't be bothered. My thought is, he has conducted his own investigations into her background and must have had his doubts. Milk is more like his trademark, I think, much like our protagonist in Clockwork.. (in fact, Kubrick would have been proud of the first scene ). Or perhaps it is just a plot device to build more tension into the scene

2. The interrogation of Kruger is perhaps one of my favourite scenes in the movie. What an evil twist to the Cindrella story . Why does he kill her? Perhaps because he thought she was dispensible at that point (the allies have already landed in France and the end is near). And also because he was annoyed that she thought she could get away with her lies.
