Jackie Brown

It would resonate with anyone who feels burnt-out or weighed down by their job. The tragedy is that you don't have to even be middle aged now to understand that.

Great movie with great performances. I am glad Robert Forster was plucked out of obscure B-movie trash to give a wonderful world-weary performance and a well deserved Oscar nomination. Pam Grier was brilliant, keeping her cool, but occasionally getting rattled while she battles to survive Ordell and the ATF; though I wish she got her tits out again. Not normally into negresses, but she would get it alright.

Sam Jackson alpha's almost the whole movie. De Niro's aspie character was endearing, even if it's pretty close to what a wackjob De Niro is IRL. It was tragic how he did his best to stay loyal to Ordell over Melanie and got taken out anyway. Bridget Fonda was hot as fuck and played a good conniving bitch who was only out for herself. Michael Keaton was good, but didn't get as much screen-time. He tries to buddy up with Jackie then shuts down her attempt to subvert him over the money and then he goes all out to catch her out her lies. The double cross works in the end, but it's sad that Max doesn't go with Jackie. I'd like to think he went after her or caught up with her later.

I agree that his 90s movies are superior to all the weird shit that came next.

I think this is one of Sam Jackson's few performances where he doesn't just reprise his role in Pulp Fiction.

one would think that tarantino has shaken the goofiness out of his system by now. if he'd go back to making '90s-style movies (or miniseries), there'd be no one around to peg him as just a 'crime' director, which was probably his fear around the turn of the millennium. the dude's tackled, what, half a dozen genres by this point?

shit, just compare the lean, almost disappointingly anticlimactic ending of this to, say, the drawn-out bloodbaths of django or hateful eight that just spill over into ridiculousness and self-indulgence. like i understand if kill bill and basterds were fun exercises for him, but what compels him to keep doing these tacky ass movies? did he fall and hit his big fucking head in 1999?

>Do you remember if this movie was popular in theatres during the '97/'98?
fell flat iirc
everyone was expecting pulp fiction mk2

I think he just forgot how to end his films with Django and Hateful Eight.

that record store looked like it was closing down for some reason

This was the late 90s not the mid 2000s.

By far the most re-watchable Tarentino.

Movies that talk about growing old always fuck me up. Jackie Brown is no exception.

>I will never suck prime Mama Grier's big fat titties
Just fuck my shit up.

The more creative control tarantula has over his movies the worse they get. Django was his first movie after Sally Menke died and Tarantino’s place in the editing room is probably the main reason the violent bloodbath ending goes on too long.

Second best of his films after Reservoir Dogs IMO. It's subdued and human. No one's super slick, no one's a mastermind, no one's bulletproof. All of the characters' best days are behind them. It's a pretty believable movie, and it allows you to relate to the characters

Django is where his movies start to fall off for me. Inglourious Basterds is ok, even if it is reddit's favorite movie. i'm hoping Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is good, although I would have preferred if he had a completely original story rather than trying to tie it into historical events. Guess we'll see

9/11 made him a Fabulist with pretensions of historicism

>i'm hoping Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is good
how could it be? he's back in clown world

Watch this. Entire score is great.

I really, really liked this movie and I thought it was a shame that it went so unnoticed. It's better than the Hateful 8.

Agree 100% with you user. The characters really feel human, which Tarantino's first three movies all did pretty well, though Jackie Brown did it the best imo.

Jackie Brown is such a comfy movie to watch in the middle of the day. It's one of the best examples of a "start at 11:30 in the morning/almost afternoon on a Sunday right after you've slept in, eaten breakfast, and put some chicken or steak in the slow cooker, started a load of laundry, and then sprawl back out on the couch still in your pj's with a mimosa or screw driver" movies. It's the perfect length and has that right pacing that you can pause it, put your clothes in the dryer, check on the slow cooker, take a 15 minute long shit, then continue watching the rest, and then when it's over you still feel like you've got the whole day to do something.

Other great movies for this are Apocalypse Now, Goodfellas and Casino, Gladiator, any of the Lord of the Rings movies, The Good the Bad and the Ugly, and LA Confidential. It has to be around 2 and a half hours long to 3 hours long, that way when you finish you still have a few hours before it gets dark.

It's the film that inspired me to get into movie making.

Hi Yea Forums, it's Colin Trevorrow here. Ask me anything about the industry. Fire away.

What's the next step in hollywood jews' plan to destroy western nations?

he didn´t like the reception JB had so he went full reddit with Kill Bill

Who are you?

Scene that every man can relate to

This is the only good Tarantulo's flick.

It's my favorite QT movie

That was very specific.

I was just thinking about how much I loved this movie last night. Peak Quentin, his most endearing film.

post reminds me of an user who said 17 Again was the perfect Sunday morning movie to catch on TBS after church before putting on golf and dozing off

This film is 10\10 wish they'd bring it back to Netflix.

Dumb zoomer
