368447, If an exploitation movie goes over someone's head, it's a failure Posted by SoulHonky, Fri May-02-08 05:40 PM
Tarantino LOVES exploitation films. If, as you say, people can't simply watch Deathproof and enjoy it as a standalone film, then QT failed. He wanted to make an enjoyable movie but apparently the only way you can enjoy it is if you already love grindhouse films and consider all of the 70's effects and cheesy dialogue as in jokes.
You've basically had to change your argument to "Tarantino was trying to make a bad film" in order to argue that it wasn't a bad film. Sorry, but that wasn't his intention (as he stated in pretty much every interview in which he went on about how exploitation films weren't bad and he wanted to bring a new generation to the films he loved).
Maybe you can bring something to it and find a way to enjoy it but even you have stated that most people won't like it. And for all of your "your opinion isn't objective", you are the one who is dismissing other people's opinions by claiming people who didn't like it just didn't get it.
I've never said you were wrong for liking the film. I've said you wrong fro saying other people somehow missed the point because they didn't like it.
