I loved this movie. Pitt was fantastic but Leo was Oscar-worthy. Jaw dropping great acting.

So QT rehashed his old motto from "Inglourious Basterds" that is cinema is so strong it can change the course of history in a good way. It can kill @#$%&... (or save Sharon Tate from Manson?)
That's very naive and childish from a guy who's 56...

Anyone who hasn't seen it yet should stay in a bubble and not read anything about it before they do.
So much of this film speaks to the perspective of an older audience. If you're not at least closing in on 60, I don't think you'll fully appreciate how well he re-created 1969 visually, or the context of what's happening to Rick's career.
If you're 60-something, and grew up in Southern California, it's even better. There are some obscure local things in there that are just fantastic--one that even made me exclaim out loud because I couldn't believe he went to the trouble of putting it in there.

Only black slaves who lived through the 1850s and the outbreak of the American Civil War will fully appreciate Django Unchained; otherwise the film isn’t for you.
What a load of crap.

Does the idea that you might be missing out on something actually disturb you?
I'm not saying that anyone else won't enjoy themselves at this film. But to fully "get" what he nails on period detail requires a knowledge of the time period.
If you were there, and you're from LA, the placement of that cheap-ass Brew 102 is a period detail that rings a memory bell and speaks volumes. Anyone else will just see a beer.
There are also plenty of references to movie and TV stuff that only a film geek would get. The more you know about movies and pop culture, the more you can appreciate any Tarantino film. Is saying that truth also a "load of crap?"
I concur. Massive overreaction.Quote

Great movie. Saw it for the second time last night. Brad Pitt should get an oscar
Typical Tarantino movie: too long, too violent and too many in-jokes, which is probably why I like it so much!

The film is a love letter to a golden age of Hollywood
