A matured Tarantino delivers social critic
26 January 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Finally some real social critic from Tarantino. Not for everyone, not even for all Tarantino Fans i suppose. You need to get and love his rhythmic prose to enjoy this movie. That is because you need to be hooked to this movie which will be the cause to have the desire to look deeper into it. There you'll find something ugly and beautiful at the same time, a critical view of society, justice and yes, humanity.

Spoiler: John"The Hangman"Ruth dies first, as one of the main characters, which is important. He doesn't fit in there, the character could have lived on but not his principle, this needed to be crushed to rise again later, at the end, with full meaning. Job is not supposed to be easy, hm? It's not supposed to be hard either! Well, this sums up living on our planet. On a daily basis you need to make a decision, at least moral people should do that, but it is quite clear immoral people do this as well the decisions just differs. You are able to change your own decisions, keep that in mind when viewing the character Chris Mannix(outstanding acting of Walton Goggins), who might be a sheriff or not, we will never know.

There really is a deeper meaning, but it won't be discovered by every viewer. The decision to have an original soundtrack speaks volumes about how Tarantino himself thought about this.

Technically this is Tarantino's best work till now, from my point of view, Kill Bill his second. But this is not the Tarantino most will expect, this is no Kill Bill or Pulp or Basterds, it's a neatly filmed theater stage play, an ensemble movie, which really defines the word ensemble. Soundtrack is fantastic, no not just that, it's near perfect.

The movie is long, some people will find it boring and i understand that as i said in the beginning you need to be interested, to be hooked perhaps by Tarantino's Style to look deeper. In my twenties I think this movie would not have the same impact as it had now, perhaps I matured with Tarantino. I like that about myself, I really do. Thank you for entertaining me the way i want it to be, Mr Tarantino.

The sad part about it is, that those who really should look behind the violence(which is an art form), behind the offensive speech(which is just a writer doing his job like he should) are not going to do it.

Regardless, I'm giving it a 10, cause the lyrics in this song, oh sorry movie, are phenomenal.
