Re: What good has Tarantino done

...And its true that Reifenstahl DID have strong composition, though her lighting is rather predictable for the era. And if Der Drittes Reich had triumphed, her works WOULD have been seen as "doing good".

I have fallen upon hard times (or they have fallen upon me) so I lost everything including a small film collection which included a few Leni Reifenstahl films (on VHS tape) and I saw 'The Wonderful Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl' in the theater. I have no doubt that as far as the art of cinema goes 'she did good'. I don't understand what a 'power dynamic' is but I have tried to explain why I think Tarantino made a good film.
