I would have loved to see the two-part Grindhouse film at the cinema so it was a shame that it didn't screen anyone near me at a time which was halfway convenient. Even though I don't consider Death Proof to be a particularly good film, I wish I'd seen it at the cinema.

For me the problem with Death Proof as a 'Grindhouse' film is that for what actually happens plot wise, at over two hours it's far too long. Planet Terror at 106 minutes is about the max length you can go to for a film on a double bill. At least PT is eventful, all i recall from the two times i saw Death Proof was a lot of talk in a bar / diner and a well staged car chase with Zoe Bell clinging to the bonnet. |

I've watched this four or five times now and each time I pick up on something new. Whoever said it's Tarantino's fairytale of what actually happened that night,was spot on,and let's face it,it was an outrageous QT ending! I reckon (now) in QT's output this comes third to only Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill. As I said elsewhere,Brad Pitt was the spot on choice for the best supporting actor statue. I also read a theory that Cliff Booth and Rick Dalton are one and the same ala Tyler Durden in Fight Club..... Your thoughts on that?

I’ve seen it twice now and it definitely gets better every time, only Tarantino film I still don’t rate that high is Death Proof, I like it but it’s his worst film IMO

I think we had a conversation about this before and I agree with you. My criticisms of the film still stand - it’s definitely too long and I don’t like the ending but the second viewing was so much better - it went from a *** film to **** for me - funny thing is the first viewing was in the cinema, uninterrupted. The time I saw it was on a plane in chunks between entertaining my kids and eating meals! It lasted for about six hours, on and off! Pitt is SO good and so is Leo - the scene where the latter delivers that monologue to the young girl is incredible. Pitt trumps him though and he SO deserved that Oscar. I’d not picked up on your theory but it’s an interesting one - there’s obviously strong similarities but also contrasts between them and that what makes the film quite interesting. |
