Such great expectations...

Rating: 6/10 (8 October 2009)

So disappointed that I could cry ... I expected controversy, free but clever violence , dark humor, sarcasm, fascinating characters, memorable, the kind you condemn and admire in silence, intelligent dialog,.. a lot of dialog, with apparent calm and timeouts spread throughout the whole and much much more. Can't really say that these were missing completely but they weren't really there either. Tarantino's presence was felt and recognized only in the first chapter, to which I have nothing to reproach, it is clearly and indisputably the climax of his art in this movie. So much has been written about this movie, so many were excited and so many cheered and praised it. It just makes you sad. It's a painful proof that very few can recognize and enjoy the genius of Tarantino. He became a standard, a pattern in which the world situates him, no longer standing to judge the choice, a pattern which can already exist without the help of its creator, and also without any extra effort from his part. Any movie he makes, will have a default label, and the people would hardly even wait to watch it before assigning it. Well, for us to be able to enjoy original Tarantino creations, and to be able to boost him into making the effort to be ... himself, we have to cross over our hearts and give up that already prepared label and admit it when he fails. It's not a film entirely unsuccessful, it has its moments, the usual irony and humor, less subtle here, but present, although that only makes me give credit to the author's cleverness, but not to his genius. Oh, and to be mentioned two characters that made an unforgettable good impression: Christoph Waltz (Land - genius actor) and Melanie Laurent (Shosanna) plus Michael Fassbender (Hicox) who had too little time on film(a pity).
