A time machine back into when they made real movies

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2013)

In contrast to the sort of technologically slick and aesthetically shallow spectacles, like Titanic, that garner the sort of adulation truly great movies like Casablanca, Lawrence of Arabia, Gone with the Wind etc. received in its day, this one as a movie themed in the time of slavery just strikes me as one that truly does justice as an unearthing of that golden time with that operatic quality as a movie that was supposed to have been made in that time but wasn't, and when it comes to the anachronistic music, the only explanation I can give is that Quentin has a gift for taking the most unlikely music and making it work like the perfect puzzle piece [(like a parallel universe where that kind of music was actually common back then if you will) Particularly the use of Tupac while he's mowing down racist scumbags, just the action accompanied by the message in the lyrics just made it true cinematic poetry].
