What will Tarantino's treatment of Robert E. Lee and

[Guest TankerHC]

This is going to be interesting. According to Rotten Tomatoes, Tarantino's next movie is going to be a story of John Brown and the Harpers Ferry raid. 

 

I could care less about the story, I know the story. What I want to see is if Tarantino shows the lunatic murdering Brown who armed Negroes and sent them out to kill whites and tried to take the Armory, or gives him a pass to show him as a sad historical figure.

 

Will Colonel Robert E. Lee, U.S. Army be mentioned? And will Lee's report using the term "Party of Insurgents" be used as Lee did, as well as the Court, the President, and Chief of Staff.

 

How about Lt. J.E.B. Stewart, U.S. Army,  issuing the demand letter for surrender? 

 

Wonder if the U.S. Marines will be properly represented (And in period correct uniform), as led by R.E. Lee.

 

Going to be interesting to see another "Hollywood Historian" turn crap around. 

 

Being Tarantino though, I predict a complete disregard for Historical accuracy in exchange for as much blood and gore as possible. They will probably be carrying AR15's. 

 

Danny Trejo would make a good Brown though, he has the hair for it.

Tarantino is a liberal douchebag (double-negative I know) and lets his inflated ego direct his movies. I'm sure this will be as historically accurate as the rest of his films.

I have to say that I really like Tarantino's films. They are highly entertaining. But they are entertainment only, and I place no political or historical significance on them.

I can't think of a single

Tarantino film I liked.

Tarantino really should move out of his mother's basement. I'm sure JB will somehow wear a superhero costume.

He might try making a screen version of Guns of the South, that's more his speed.

The only film of his I dont like is Jackie Brown.

Watching a Tarantino film is like watching a major accident....you just can't seem to look away, no matter how upsetting it is.

He did some good stuff early on. It was quirky and unique. Since the Kill Bill series it seems like Tarantino is trying to make movies more Tarantino-ish, and, in my opinion, it goes over the top and is no longer original.... sometimes downright stupid. The last few were just an over indulgent homage to himself. I suspect anything to do with killing whitey will be over the top "I'm sorry for being white" garbage. Or not. Maybe he's actually reading reviews of his last few films and will attempt not to suck so bad. Either way, it'll probably make a lot of money.

He has only done Django and Inglorious Basterds since the two Kill Bills. I liked Django more than IB and KB 2 more than 1. Pulp Fiction is my favorite.

I thought he did those awful Grindhouse/Planet terror movies. Django and Basterds fall into that over-indulgent category as well, not that I didn't enjoy Basterds; just wish he'd tone it down a notch like his early flicks.

OK, wait a minute I might be confusing this guy with someone else.

 

Going to have to put some thought into my previous statement.  Maybe it was just some movies I saw with his name that hit me wrong.  However, Inglorious bastards could have had about 30 minutes cut out with out hurting the movie.

The only person I ever saw portray John Brown was John Cash on North and South and he had a crazy look in his eye. I think Cash did a good job projecting the madness in his cameo.
