    I’d argue Jackie Brown is also the movie that cements Tarantino’s ability to craft a masterpiece. I really don’t think there’s a comparison to his other films because it’s so opposite to his other films but my god it’s a beautiful film.

    If anything I look at Jackie Brown and I can see his love for film more than any of his other movies. Not by a little either. By a lot.

      The older I get, the more Jackie Brown runs away with it. It really is the most relatable movie as an aging adult, where the rest are generally too fantastical by comparison.

        Good point. It’s less frenetic as well. Slower and more character driven.
