That review isnt that great. Its not telling the readers anything new. Just pointing out the obvious references to the films and directors QT was influenced by.
QT is not hiding the fact Kill Bill is an amalgam of 60s and 70s Exploitation films. He said at the very beginning it was going to be “30 years of Grindhouse films in a duckpress”. Uma wears Bruce Lee’s Game of Death tracksuit, I mean that shows right there hes not covering anything up. This movie is for film geeks who love MOVIES. Not just Kung fu films, but CINEMA from all over the world. If people just realize that, it would save them alot of breath.
As for Jackie Brown, the reviewer doesnt know much about film if hes comparing a Douglas Sirk melodrama to a Tarantino/Elmore Leonard crime caper film. It has emotion in it, but its nothing like a Sirk film.
