Yeah, she has a really low opinion of the mental functioning of the average 12 year old. I mean, if it were up to me I probably wouldn't let my 12 year old child watch a Tarantino movie anyway (because it's the fucking parent's job to do that shit, and some old lady shouldn't be bitching on the news about how there's a violent movie, as if the problem is the movie itself and not that a parent is bringing their 12 year old to see it), but honestly, I think most 12 year olds are perfectly capable of watching a movie like this anyway. I mean fuck, conservative American mothers should love it. Loads of people get killed, and nobody has sex, because violence is fine but sex is evil. Tear a guy's head in half if you must, but for the love of god don't show a bare breast. Please, won't somebody think of the children?

Imagine this: An alternate history earth where Paul Verhoeven made Aliens, with the same script, and James Cameron made RoboCop with the same script. I'm curious what the Veroeven Aliens would be, but I think the Cameron RoboCop would be a forgettable '80s action movie. RoboCop is an example of the perfect script meeting up with the perfect director. I seriously believe that nobody else could have made RoboCop as great as Verhoeven did, that's one of those times when everything just fits together perfectly. I'm not shitting on Cameron with that, I love Aliens and Terminator and Terminator 2, it's just that RoboCop is a lot better than it should be. It should be an incredibly stupid movie that killed the careers of everyone involved and was forgotten about a year later, but against all odds it's fantastic.

[@Heavysweating]

[@cashnelson2306]

Well, it's not really - the way video is encoded (in 99% of typical movie watchers' case) involves a lot of guesswork, a lot of changing only what pixels need to be changed. It has an extremely similar effect - for most intents and purposes they're the same thing - but video simply is not a series of pictures the same way film is. You cannot just slice one frame out of a video; a piece of software has to render that frame based on information about what comes before and after it. You can cut any one distinct frame from a piece of film and you've got the complete image. Movies shot on film are also necessarily aesthetically different from films shot digitally. This is obvious just from comparing different types of film to one another, which do all look different - of COURSE digital looks different too! Tarantino's folly is in claiming film is somehow categorically Better in all cases than digital. It's not. It's just a different aesthetic, one that he doesn't like as much as film. What he said was definitely a bunch of nonsense, but a lot of people are bad at expressing any sort of complex thought verbally on the spot. He's still referring to a very real difference, even if he's maybe overblowing its importance and not answering the question very well

Only many years late to this, but Leo Dicaprio has done some excellent work in many films. Parts of Gangs of New York were really good. He was elevated by and also elevated The Departed. Also, The Revenant and Once Upon A Time in Hollywood were both excellent. When he returns to his old ways (see Great Gatsby and much of The Wolf of Wall Street, for instance) he fails. When a great director reins him in and drags a good performance out of him, kicking and screaming, he can be great.

The discussion of the pacing at the film's end is one that I feel is something that Tarantino does in several of his other films. Instead of hard cutting to a new place within the narrative, he sometimes fades-to-black. Maybe if he just hard cut there, the pacing wouldn't feel as interrupted.

I'm with Mark Kermode, as soon as Decaprio leaves the scene, the film goes down hill rapidly, it's when Tarantino's self absorbtion grabs the reins from his brilliance. Up to then I thought it was excellent.

[@harold3456]

I would agree with absolutely everything you say if it was referring to Robert Rodriguez. Rodriguez is a very style over substance director, but Tarantino is far more character based. I personally have found suspense in almost every Tarantino film (the diner scene of Inglourious Basterds, the "I couldn't resist" scene of Django, the entire Bruce Willis chapter of Pulp Fiction). Maybe his films just don't do it for you, and that happens, but it doesn't make him a bad director.
