As I wrote, I felt the movie had a slow buildup, but it was indeed very talky throughout, and many scenes should have been tightened up. Tarantino risks becoming the filmic version of Stephen King: a bigwig whom everyone is afraid to edit.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-81188704441688539212016-03-22T03:05:44.311+09:002016-03-22T03:05:44.311+09:00Don't you think that the movie could have used...Don't you think that the movie could have used a good editor? I think it could have been 30 minutes (or more) shorter and be a better movie. I think Tarantino has become a little too enamored of his own voice for the movie viewers good. I enjoyed the film, but felt it rambled.The Maximum Leaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049183891152402775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-76835433961064155732016-03-20T21:44:28.132+09:002016-03-20T21:44:28.132+09:00:-O

Then, there's the killing off of Jennifer Jason Leigh with rope similar to the way Rutger Hauer dispatched her in "The Hitcher." Well, one was horizontal and the other vertical. <br /><br />At least Tarantino isn't all about film. He must have familiarized himself with Walton Goggins' exemplary television work on both "The Shield" and "Justified" before utilizing him in his last two films.<br /><br />And as for the overbearing soundtrack, you were spot on. How Ennio Morricone won for this and not for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQQaeWWhFKU" rel="nofollow">Once Upon a Time in the West</a> is just another example of Oscar's usual miscarriages of film justice. I just hope that the sci-fi thriller, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVgxxdu-gJc" rel="nofollow">Midnight Special,</a> isn't another miscarriage of Oscar justice because it may the best film of the year. I doubt it will make it to South Korea. But if you can track it down, you won't be disappointed.John from Daejeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08431973044799010218noreply@blogger.com
