Finally watched Death Proof by Quentin Tarantino.
Quentin is definitely an extraordinary director/filmmaker. He can see things through his camera which is different from others and he tries to make us see those special angles which we seldom see on the big screen. As this is his tribute to the 70s B-grade Grindhouse movie, he started the show with lots of psychedelics and corresponding 70s large fonts and 70s “High Chaperal” type of music. I like those scratches that he made purposely to make it look like a film, or something you get to watch at a ‘Drive-In’ theater. I also like the way he shows us the vast difference if he showed us the film in black & white and then in color.
There are some “out of your imagination” action, so please ask your children to steer clear of this movie. You can be sure Quetins show has lots of blood and body count. Well, this one won’t fail you.
There are no real moral in this movie but the storyline is ok for a B grade movie. Kurt Russell definitely made this movie a little more interesting with his witty pick up lines…
Pity the version I watched doesn’t comes with Planet Terror, else I could kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
I would rate it B+ for overall content, directorship, castings etc……

Oh, and btw, the name of the show is such because the car driven by Kurt Russell (Stuntman Mike) is death proof... i.e. the car was used for stunts and thus is built to keep whoever in the car safe (from death).... And guess what, the car is a dear old Chevrolet.. :) a 1970 Chevy Nova... :) Chevrolets are featured in many movies lately, Transformers, Wild Hogs, and now Death Proof.. :)
