A study in redemption

Rating: 9/10 (2 January 2006)

Warning - mild spoilers.
For Tarantino, this seems to be an idea he is contemplating (thorugh various analogies and story lines in various of his movies).
Those who are easily distracted will miss it. Although violence is a hallmark of Tarantino films, that's not what it's all about. In this one, 6 people are entwined in a collision course with redpemption. Some will be changed, some will not. The two primary characters who develop are Jules and Ringo. They are surrounded by a number of characters who do not display any real development, yet themselves experience situations they are drawned into and emerge on the other side having been redeemed.
Redemption is the final aim of the entire Godfather series, which many consider to be among the greatest movies of all time. And, another, Shawshank REDEMPTION, again explores this theme. And hey, isn't that what "Return of the Jedi" was all about? Clearly, the idea is deep-rooted and forms the basis for a good storyline.
Tarantino's process is masterful, artistic, challenging.
