A Typical Tarantino Movie

We knew that Tarantino has shelved The Hateful Eight and he won’t make any movie this year. So That’s why I want to talk about one of his finest work.

Inglourious Basterds probably my most favorite Quentin Tarantino’s movie of all time. This was the first time I saw Christoph Waltz. His acting was stunning and impressive. He played as Colonel Hans Landa and he might be the most frightening antagonist yet so charming I’ve ever seen in my life. Waltz succeed portraying the most fictionally feared person in Hitler era. He even gave me chill everytime he doubted any person on the screen, because you’re just gonna think “what will he do this time?!”. Also, Tarantino succeed to make Eli Roth to act again! Turns out this Hostel director’s performance stunned me. He was quite good.

Tarantino’s ideas are always fresh, new and extraordinary. Inglourious Basterds was a history fictional film but I won’t object anything that happened in this movie. I enjoyed my two and a half hours so much! It’s just typical Tarantino, witty but serious. As usual, he created those unimportant conversations that would make you laugh but suddenly, he created the suspense that you couldn’t bear because you know that infinite violence will be on the screen. Also, you gotta love Tarantino because he made all the actors spoke the language where the story took place. It's just amazing and not-so-Hollywood-typical.

I give this movie 5 out of 5!!! I just love Tarantino so much, it hurts when he told us that he postponed his upcoming project for God knows how long.

The Cobbler, The Coffee & The Scotch

Based on a play by Yasmina Reza, Carnage is a talkish film. To solve their problem, the characters just talked, talked and talked to find the solution. You gotta trust Roman Polanski about talkish film, he's the expert! I remember watched The Ghost Writer, I slept for minutes because I think some of it was boring (sorry) but, Carnage, I enjoy my 1 and half hours of conversation of 4 parents who tried to solve their kids' problem.

Set in The Longstreet's house in New York, I think, this movie divided into three segments which I called: The Cobbler, The Coffee and The Scotch. There are three main problems they talked about in this movie. It's like secretly watching a play and divided into some acts. Each segment had different problems and you're gonna be surprise how Polanski just changed his charatcters' behaviour.

I gotta give standing ovation for the actors! They are great!! They moved the plot only with talk to each other and changing their characters easily. They have to play their roles right and make their characters interesting and believing. Jodie Foster, John C. Reilly, Kate Winslet and Christoph Waltz really are Oscar Nominee Guarantees. They really know their characters and they give their best performance. This movie's main strength are the characters and the screenplay. both are outstanding!

If I'm gonna rate this movie, probably 4.5 out of 5. it is difficult to make a movie based on a play without making the same exact style as the play. I think Polanski succeed to adapt this play to a movie, it's not easy to make a movie when there are only 4 active characters and only have one set all along the movie.
