The film continued the style of his previous film Inglourious Basterds, but failed to reproduce the magic of Pulp Fiction. The storytelling is smooth, and the nearly three-hour film is not tiring at all. Although there are many dispensable funny jokes, it does not affect the wonderfulness of the story. The film is slightly flawed in editing, but it can be seen that storytelling is still Quentin's forte.
Needless to say, the extravagance of the cast, Christoph Waltz bears the brunt, and with his role, others are somewhat overshadowed, and it is not surprising that only he was nominated for the Oscar for this film. Samuel L. Jackson's playing time is limited but he still has a great sense of the camera, and he is still experienced. He really does what he does. I feel like Jamie Foxx doesn't get the accolades he deserves, but for the real protagonist of this film, I think his performance is still worthy of praise. Last but not least, Leonardo DiCaprio played a bad guy this time. Although he was quite satisfactory, he failed to see his breakthrough in performance. In recent years, Xiao Lizi has not performed as impressively as the younger generation (such as Ryan Gosling).
The ending of this film is a little rushed, not as exciting as the first half of the film. Some people say that Quentin's film has a lot of shadows from old Hong Kong films, which is true. He can always make wonderful stories, but he can't really impress me. .
Even so, I liked this movie more than Inglourious Basterds, so why not watch Quentin's movie! ?
In addition, the original soundtrack of this film is worth collecting!
