Rezension von valentinoI loved reading this. As annoying as Tarantino might actually be in real life (and the occasional attempt of me reading this in his voice was both the worst and funniest thing ever) and as much as I hate certain opinions of his and what they say about him (just think what he said about that piece of shit Polanski on Howard Stern), this was a phenomenal read. The way he writes about film just lets you know how much he loves the medium in every way and in a way that is very inspiring. There were so many cool and interesting stories and anecdotes in here and he talks about such a wide range of films and people. Reading what he has to say about certain films really made me want to (re)watch them. And most of what he writes is super interesting. Still, I think it’s safe to say that you should take some of the stuff he writes (and states as true) with a grain of salt. I don’t even agree with every opinion of his and just cause he says something was the way it was, doesn’t mean it actually was that way. He’s Quentin Tarantino and I think if you know him beyond the surface level, you might very well agree with me.
