I'm looking forward seeing Dunkirk a movie that coming out this month and it's supposed to be a very good movie and the scenes are very realistically done.  On my calendar to go see as well. Previews had me hooked immediately. |

I saw this trailer a couple of weeks ago and thought some of the casting looked pretty good. It was the first Agatha Christie novel I read and I really enjoyed it so I will probably check this out. Yes indeed. Looks stunning. Thought it captured the style and essence of the time. Looking forward to losing myself in this movie... |

It looks great, but the hardest part may end up being getting used to someone else besides David Suchet as Poirot. |

Rumor is that Quentin Tarantino will be directing a film about the Tate murders by the Manson Family.

A buddy cop movie starring Will Smith set in a world where Orcs and fairies exist?

Rumor is that Quentin Tarantino will be directing a film about the Tate murders by the Manson Family. I hope that's a false rumour. I've liked all Tarantino's movies but I don't really want to see this real-life story handled as a piece of drama, unless perhaps they just mean that he's creating a fictional story inspired by those events. |

It makes me wonder if he could really make a film like this and still keep his usual flair. Could he strike that balance? I don't know if it would be a film I'd bust down the door to see but it would be interesting to see him really stretch as a film maker. |

I know I'm in the minority here but I'm not sure I'd trust a director who has the edgy agenda of a 15 year old with his plethora of fetishes for racist slurs, over the top violence and penchant sexuality to create anything dignified about a real life horror. |

Well that's the thing. I happen to enjoy and even admire what thwhtguardian calls Tarantino's flair and what adamwarlock2099 calls, among other things, his over the top violence and penchant for sexuality; but I don't want to see it applied to a horrific and terrible tragedy that happened to real people.
One could argue that America's history of Black slavery was also a real-life tragedy that happened to real people and that Tarantino still managed to make a good movie out of it, but Django was a fictional story with invented characters based on that historical background, which is something very different, in my view.

Growing up in a culture and environment where I as a white man was a minority, I always see Taratinos tropes as a white suburbanite acting out to a culture he has no clue about. So he makes his movies off these stereotypes and people eat it up. Jackie Brown could be the only tolerable movie he's done because it was a true homage to Foxy Brown and starring Pam Grier still.
I always feel like Tarantino is pandering in s negative way. He never really spotlights the turmoil or race relations and women's roles. And to ask someone that just makes trash shock value movies to handle an event in human history that shocked the world at the time. Is like asking Andre the Giant to participate in a Olympic swimming events.

I wouldn't go along with that, myself. I think there is much more depth to Tarantino's movies than the surface flash might lead one to believe. And I don't have any problem at all with him writing about a culture outside his personal experience. if that's what he's doing. It's fiction, so everything is potential material to be made use of and transformed into art. I'm not going to go down to the States and think that I have a handle on African-American culture because I've seen a few movies, no matter who the creator was.
