Payoffs are not normally well now instead ", Sharon Tate, her unborn child and her friends are spared. Rick Dalton’s career will now blossom as he falls in with Tate, and more importantly, Roman Polanski."
alternative realities and "what if" now after left to our imagination..
A character trains, he uses that skill to stop the baddie. A horrible character shows us what he can do, why he is crazy, and the good guy stops him and he dies in the end.
Also historical "what if" and "alternative reality" is not a substitute for film character developement.
I always go back to Hans Landa cause its a perfect example. We know he was a Nazi SS officer so we know he was bad. Tarantino didn't end it there. He developed the character further. so we actually CARE. I get you cared because you know all the history or the specific character involved. But when watching film, my job isnt to do a history lesson prior. its for the film making to build characters.
I know this may have been tough with those involved in the Manson murders... he didn't want to humanize them or probably even give them any development..
I agree. and you could argue the same for DJango with slaves and inglorious with jews. unfortunately it being. tribute dos not equal a good movie. which is my contention.
You were right about the guy who came with the women, which actually makes it eve worse......
This is an alternative reality, those things never happened in this story. so again, who cares???
Again. buildup and payoff. buildup and payoff. When Hans Landa, or Clavin Candie, or Stephen get their come uppance its because they have a whole movie (or half or 1/4 of a movie) of character development for me to get invested and care.
When Hans Gruber dies it has stakes and build up. when henchman #8 dies it has little impact..
these people were henchmen/woman #3, 4 and 5. Who cares.
its really basic filmmaking. Which Tarintino is normally a master of
