Third film in a row where Tarantino's justified his revenge obsession by having the avenged-on be the least popular sorts of completely terrible people: Hitler and the Nazis, slave-owners, misogynistic serial killers. I guess this is his version of the civic concern turn we expect to see in middle-aged people? Or does he feel he'll be respected and given awards and stuff if he moralizes his fetish parade?
He is one weird fucking dude, possibly the strangest of the auteurs, a far from unstrange bunch. All he wants to do is remake drive-in films from his childhood except with more exploding heads and genitals. All day long he wants to do that. I can't even tell if he's good at it, or just good at communicating how much he wants to do it. People do like enthusiasm. And revenge, I guess. Though nowhere near as much as he does.
