I enjoy Quentin Tarantino films. You have a lot of gore and theatrics, and plenty of the dramatic action pays homage to the movies of the seventies. Kill Bill, for example, takes me back to the days of the good old Kung Fu movies, while Inglorious Basterds has the same feel of the war movies of the same era. While his defining film seems to be Pulp Fiction, I'd say that I particularly like Django Unchained; the character originally played by Franco Nero seems to take on a new life with Jamie Foxx's interpretation. The best performance however, comes from Christop Waltz; I want to cheer him on, I want him to succeed, I don't him to die. In Tarantino films, justice seems to be served in correct fashion, so aptly detailed despite all the bloody gore. Given the feeling of helplessness I get when I read the daily papers, the ethereal escape watching Tarantino films is truly satisfying, both emotionally and philosophically.
