    I’d argue Jackie Brown is also the movie that cements Tarantino’s ability to craft a masterpiece. I really don’t think there’s a comparison to his other films because it’s so opposite to his other films but my god it’s a beautiful film.

    If anything I look at Jackie Brown and I can see his love for film more than any of his other movies. Not by a little either. By a lot.

      The older I get, the more Jackie Brown runs away with it. It really is the most relatable movie as an aging adult, where the rest are generally too fantastical by comparison.
