Tarantino Critiques the Criticisms of 'Jackie Brown'

its one of my favorite Quentin movies maybe the best and that means its one of my favorite movies.

Jackie Brown is my favourite Movie of his, the films pace is perfect, each character is strong and it feels like you have stepped into their lives rather than you are watching a performance. Adore the twist.

I love Tarantino's movies, i rewatched them all during Christmas break. So many movies today spend the first 15 minutes, if that, developing the story and characters.Jackie Brown is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Elmore Leonard has recently became my favorite author. His books are truly QT films on paper. So much fun to read and the dialogue is what hilds it all together. Ill read 100 pages of an EL book without even knowing what the plot is but it is so enjoyable because im getting to know the characters on a personal level and at that point i dont care what the plot is about!

Movie critics are mostly unhelpful, aside from Roger Ebert. they critique movies against the movie they would have made themselves (failed moviemakers). That idea is IRRELEVENT. No one cares about an imaginary movie by critic X. Jackie Brown has ALWAYS been a spectacular movie.

Amazing movie. He is so many steps ahead of these critics, i almost feel embarrassed for them.

this lady stinky

I love all of Tarantino's movies, but this one is my absolute favorite. This movie feels like a nice warm, comforting hug when i watch it no matter my mental mood or physical feeling. Jackie Brown, The Life Aquatic, The Thing and Event Horizon are the only movies i can watch no matter what.

The Jackie Brown soundtrack has been my most played album & I think the film is Tarantino's most refined.

That film is a masterpiece. Just rewatched yesterday for the 4th time after a decade. I only recently maybe because im older and an adult now that the first times I’ve seen it, the emotions in the eyes of the characters are so moving in those key moments. Samuel L Jackson and Robert Forster In that scene towards the end, in the car when they arrive to the office to meet Jackie. That exchange is all in the eyes and in Sam you see the humanity in Ordell when, in a strange way, he’s been the terrorizer, but becomes vulnerable because he knows maybe this might be the end for him but max looks him straight in the eye, empathetic eyes reassuring him that nothing shady is going on. Its like the role’s switch. Even when after Micheal Keaton shoots him in there and the close up on ordell dead, he still had that look of vulnerability and surprise, you almost feel sorry for him, even though he wpuld have had no pb killing them all in there for his money. Ofc the final kiss between Max and Jackie and last scene Pam grier in the car singing along to across 110th street with tears in her eyes as she leaves max.
Iconic ❤

I think Jackie Brown is one of Tarantino's best movies! (Not just because of the hats)

His best film, still.

Maybe while Lewis & Melanie were in the mall the owner of the Pasadena Yellow 944 moved it and popped the roof, or maybe Pasadena 944s were a dime a dozen back then?
Aside from that 10/10.
And hearing Strawberry Letter 23 for the first time in years was the icing on the cake

Quentin's final film will involve a film critic apparently

” I was being judged by people who had less knowledge than me, so what was it truly worth?” Marco Pierre White on food critics when he gave up his 3 stars.. i get the same feeling here, 3 critics that could never do a movie but have the nerve to critict a mast er…

Definitely didn't run long enough for Beaumont.

I watched this movie again last night. what drew my attention was the amount of times I found jackie brown attractive, despite at the same time not finding her attractive. it was this ambiguous feeling. Maybe because it's implied by the movie that she is attractive and I do not find her. Or maybe I dunno, something else. But one minute she fine, one minute not and there is this constant switch between these states. loved the movie though. very good, was also sad about the amount of screen time Chris Tucker had lol., love that actor. That scene where Ordell picks him up from his home, I laughed so much at the way Tucker walked, it was hilarious. Top actors there man.

Jackie Brown is an absolute favorite of mine! When I hear harsh criticism of the film, it let’s me know that I’m talking to someone with NO TASTE whatsoever 🤷🏾‍♂️😂

The film's problem is not its length. The film is overall dull. The music, the clothes, the casting and some of the dialog give the film a sparkle. But the story and pacing are uninteresting. The love story works but when we spend time with Samuel Jackson's character it lags. I think it's his worst film. I read the novel recently and it was better than the movie. I love the casting of Robert Forrester.

charlie rose sucks dog ass. worst interviewer ever. only got the job cos of his surname..

What is wrong with that lady? Why do women ruin everything? Ever notice how difficult women tend to be? The guys are all having a normal conversation, but she looks like she didn't take her meds or something. Women always have to be the center of attention, and they'll even act cringey or violent to get that attention including being woke about f'ing hats. This is precisely the reason guys and women like myself don't want to invite women to anything, because they always have a knack for ruining everything.

Critics talk because that's all they can do: talk.

This aged well for Quentin

Who are these two dinosaur critic fuckwits. Critics are terrible

Wow these critics all come of kinda weak. If you can't go deeper than "what are the hats about?" And "it's too long.". You probably shouldn't be a critic. If you feel like criticizing you should at least be able to bring up what you would've changed.

She was afraid to talk face to face with Tarantino.

Tarantino and the Cohen brothers have brought back the joy of cinema for me.

Great movie, lets hear from 3 old white people.... 😅😅😅

Is that Pauline Kale??

Why is the background black?

The only woman in the group:
"Houston, we have a problem."
"What is it?"
"Never mind."
"What's the problem?"
"Nothing."
"Please tell us."
"I'm fine!"

The thing about Jackie Brown is that it is a serious character piece. It feels so much like a late 70’s, early 80’s movie kinda film.

Jackie Brown is my least favourite Tarantino movie. I've seen it many times and I've tried to understand why it doesn't work for me like the other Tarantino movies do. I think it's because it's not an original script. Some of the themes in JB are missing in all the others QT movies, like fear of getting old or falling in love. I think JB could have been directed by somebody else, ie De Palma, while the other QT movies could have only been directed by QT. It also seems to me a bit slow in some parts, although I understand Quentin's intention with the slow pacing.

She has the courage to criticize the movie only if Quentin Tarantino is not in front of her and desperately invent nonsensical reasons not to do so.

I saw that movie when I was young and don’t remember thinking it was long.

Whats the ladys name?

Cinema critics 🤦

Very fascinating dynamic QT and the female critic have going

She's a coward.

Who was the critic that wouldn’t tell her point of view in the show ?

If a critic does not want to talk directly with the film maker then why did she go on the panel?

Send these chumps to the gulag!

Jackie brown is a really good movie. Underrated in the Tarantino collection

My dad and I went to see Jackie Brown together in the theater. I was 16 and he was in his mid-50s, so basically Max Cherry's age. We both loved the movie and loved every performance. I think a lot of people thought they were going to see "Pulp Fiction 2," but if you took it on its own terms, it was wonderful. The only thing that bothered me on the first screening was that I wasn't prepared for Sam Jackson to play the bad guy, and you don't realize that's the case early. He doesn't really become the bad guy until the final few scenes. So that threw me off.

But sheesh, we came out of there knowing we had seen a great movie, and I thought a lot of the criticism of the film came from critiques and fans who were critiquing this based on the movie they thought he was going to make, not the movie he did make.

What I didn't think about until years later was that after Pulp Fiction, so many movies had an element of Pulp Fiction's surface: the humor mixed with the violence. Some held up on their own terms (Usual Suspects), some found an audience even if that audience even if they weren't fully unique (Go, which I loved, Boondock Saints and Things to Do In Denver When You're Dead, which I didn't) and some were just ripoffs (Suicide Kings comes to mind). But I think what's fascinating is that none of these directors would have made Jackie Brown if they set out to make a "Tarantino-esque movie" in the late 90s. That's why he's him and they're not.

Jackie Brown is not too long. It is as long as it needs to be.

OMY He just drips talent like a melting popsicle Pete / these poor critic's don't know what they are up against he is a master

Pulp Fiction is so clearly his masterpiece that virtually everyone found this movie an anti climax who saw them both when they came out at the time. All of a sudden he could get De Niro ffs.. everything changed for him. If you're a songwriter you can't follow your best album and one of the all time great albums with a better one. It's just the way it is. Jackie Brown is a very solid piece of work and a very well executed film. It probably is a little underrated. My only criticism would be the overuse of that Delfonics tune to an almost comedic degree.

Good for QT for doing this. JB is better than most movies.

that’s all she wants to talk about? weird

I don’t wanna know, be atound be affiliated with or even talk to anyone who sits down watches Jackie Brown I mean actually pay attention to it and watch it and don’t like it. Nah get away from me
