Death Proof 2007 is a genius art house action film that people didn't get

Quentin Tarantino's 2007 film
Death Proof is considered the only bad movie written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. For the uninitiated the film seems like a boring film where 90% of the time nothing happens. And for those who know Tarantino it feels like Tarantino is trying too hard to flex his dialogue muscle while forgetting to tell an actual story.

People often complain about dumb movies with too much unnecessary spoon-feeding. We get so much explaining and over-explaining that the brain hurts sometimes. You already know what is going on. You are following the story. You don't need no god damned reminder of what you are watching. And yet the studio heads still think that you are too dumb to understand what's going on in front of you on the screen.
Respecting the audience on the other hand is a leap of faith on a part of a film-maker and only the greatest do that well.
Quentin Tarantino with his 2019 film
Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood takes the hardest such leap of his career.

In my review of
Robert Rodriguez's film
Machete Kills I speculated that
Quentin Tarantino introduced a small reference to
Grindhouse movies in
Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood to fulfill a rather outlandish promise from the fake trailer of
Machete 3 in the beginning of
Machete Kills. That there would be a
Grindhouse movie with
Leonardo DiCaprio. I think
Paul Thomas Anderson just beat Tarantino in this regard. His 2025 film
One Battle After Another ( starring DiCaprio ) is a straight up remake of the first
Machete.

Before
Jerry Bruckheimer was obsessed with telling all his directors to be like
Michael Bay and before
Don Simpson had passed away. The duo of Simpson and Bruckheimer were obsessed with
Tony Scott, the director of such classics as
Top Gun,
Days of Thunder and
Enemy of the State ( which coincidentally were all produced by Jerry and Don, apart from the last film, which was produced after Don's passing ). But Tony Scott didn't only work with the duo. For example in 1993 he made a film not produced by Jerry and Don called
True Romance from a screenplay of
Quentin Tarantino. Which makes
Crimson Tide the second collaboration of the two

Luc Besson is known to be a little bit of a pervert. But I'm about to argue that, in addition to liking young women, he also has a sort of a fetish. And while with directors like
Quentin Tarantino the fetish is something rather understandable ( Quentin likes feet ). Luc Besson seems to be turned on by... well... fish. And specifically by Dolphins. His 1988 film
Le Grand Bleu is a love triangle between a young woman, an amphibian man, and a Dolphin ( which the film presents to be a mermaid ).

The first thing you notice when watching
Michael Bay's directorial debut
Bad Boys is that the movie is not trying to be a Michael Bay film. There was no Michael Bay films prior to it. Bay was doing music videos and commercials before this film. And while those do have some of the style Bay will eventually bring over to his cinema pictures, here it seems he is actually trying something else entirely. The best analogy for the movie would be
Tony Scott's 1993 film
True Romance written by
Quentin Tarantino.

Wrath of Man is one of such, very Guy Ritchie, very crime trillery, very
Quentin Tarantino-inspired films. It has just enough cold detachment, just enough calculated precision and just enough artful pathos to make you feel the false-psychopathy of the main character played by
Jason Statham.

It's so weird to be watching
The Vast Of Night almost right after
No One Will Save You. One movie has no dialogue, while the other is just dialogue. To be honest, it might seem very strange to make a film so dialogue heavy, if we didn't have people like
Quentin Tarantino who shows time and time again that movies with a lot of dialogue can work fantastically.

If today we have a lot of films to choose from when we want to shock ourselves beyond believe: from barely serious, yet distrusting films by
Eli Roth through intense hyper-violence by
Coralie Fargeat or depressing looks at the world by
Lars Von Trier all the way to deranged films like
The Serbian Film, in 1970s you had probably only one true contender for such a level of derangeness. And it was the
Tobe Hooper's 1974 film
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

47th Academy Awards from 1975 ( giving awards to movies from 1974 ) was an interesting spectacle.
Francis Ford Coppola's film
The Conversation ( which was nominated for
Best Picture ) lost to
The Godfather Part II also by Francis Ford Coppola. In 1981
Brian De Palma, one of the people who hanged out with Francis at the time, decided to remake a 1966 Italian film
Blowup, but doing it like Coppola's
The Conversation. Where sound plays a critical role in the plot of the picture.

In
James Cameron's
Avatar humans are attacking the forests of Pandora, bulldozing and killing indigenous population of the planet, to get to the natural resources their tribes are sitting at. The military is literally playing a role of guards, for the bulldozers, because the indigenous have become sort of very upset with humans, that terrorize their land. This is sort the plot of
Eli Roth's horror film
The Green Inferno, just Roth makes it way way more viscerally.

The Rock by
Michael Bay is about an FBI chemist agent (
Nicolas Cage ) who calls for help from an old retired British Intelligence Agent played by
Sean Connery himself. No wander there are theories that this agent character could be James Bond, making this film a kind of unofficial Bayhem!ed sequel to Connery Bond films. It's not like he didn't play James Bond outside of the main franchise. He did play James Bond in
Never Say Never Again which is a real James Bond film, which is not a part of the main franchise. So maybe, possibly, he did that again here too. We will never know.

A lot of people say that
Nicolas Winding Refn's 2011 film
Drive is a remake of 1978 film
The Driver by
Walter Hill. And to some extent it is true. Both are about a getaway driver. And both drivers are these tough, melancholic characters played by a guy who's first name is Ryan. But that seems to be about it.

Alfred Hitchcock is known to be a hell of a filmmaker at the time of
the code. When everybody were required to be kosher, Hitch found every loophole in the rule book to get us exciting stuff. He was able to make sexy and violent psycho-sexual thrillers when sex and violence were not allowed. His final film, 1976
Family Plot was already shot during the MPAA rating system. Other filmmakers like
Brian De Palma took the thrown the master of the macabre. So what does Hitch do? He does the safest, most PG movie of his career.

Who is this character, who's family suffered from the hands of lawless criminals, and who wanders the nights in search for some of those criminals, to have his revenge? Who is this character, who is a wealthy gentleman during the day, while the "vengeance" itself during the night? Batman? No... it is Paul Kersey played by
Charles Bronson in a
Michael Winner 1974 film
Death Wish.
