Tarantino is the master

Rating: 10/10 (25 August 2019)

When Brad Pitt enters the hippie farm, I was on the edge of my seat, trying to figure out what was going to happen. With Quentin Tarantino, you never know! If there is an opportunity for some epic acting and scenes, Tarantino will not abstain, continuity be damned!
In this movie, Tarantino manages to seemingly effortlessly bring back the 70's in all it's neon glory. How does he do it? I think it's something with little quirks from that time that no one remembers and something with the physics of the cars. Either way, my jaw dropped several times in amazement of this universe that he is able to create with just a few shots.
I don't think any other director would dare use a voice over to fast forward in the story and set the scenes. There are plenty of signature techniques here by Tarantino that are at odds with what you learn in cinematic classes. But he just does it anyway for the greater good, I guess.
Overall the story is kind of a mess if you think about it. Still, it's the most memorable movie I've watched in 2019, and the only one I'd like to watch again. Look, I'm gonna be honest here. I'm just here to praise Tarantino, OK? I'm giving this a 10 although it's actually an 8 or 9 in my book. But I wish other AAA movie directors would learn from this man and his brazen ways. Tarantino takes huge artistic risks over and over, and to this day, he still hasn't made a forgettable movie.
