    I can’t explain it but this is my favorite Tarantino movie. It came out after pulp fiction, so it had no chance with critics who wanted something they didn’t get. But I love every bit of it from the characters to the music. It’s such a great movie, full of amazing performances. Also my favorite DeNiro character. DeNiro always plays these gangsters and criminals that are super competent, confident, charming, etc. In Jackie Brown he plays a criminal who is a quiet, burnt out loser, with no future and no use. I really loved how he went against type.

      Same, so good to see him as a failure and one of the many things I love about it.
