Quentin Tarantino is our Woodie Guthrie
What I’m saying, basically, is that Quentin Tarantino is our Woody Guthrie; he is the Woody Guthrie of mondo and the midnight movie.
Regardless of how you feel about Tarantino and his movies, I recommend that everyone reads Christian Thorne’s amazing essay “Tarantino, Nazis, and Movies That Can Kill You” (part 1, part 2).
