I don't think his films dehumanize people

I love Tarantino's films. I am surprised you state that his movies dehumanize people as I see that the dialogue usually is more real than many other movies. The thrill is often seeing more real people in uttlerly crazy situations. Generally, if you can identify with a character, it makes the danger or thrill more immediate.

Take Reservoir Dogs, out of the action you have several scenes that are just people: The storytelling scene, the crime planning scene (fighting over who is going to be called which color), or the initial breakfast table scene. I can watch Pulp Fiction any time and any part of it. The '50s diner scene, the Jules and Vicent discussion scenes etc. Jackie Brown, I thought, was a great version of the Elmore Leonard book and the best one (until Out of Sight). Kill Bill is great fun. I see his movies as thrilling rides that often go in places you don't expect (unless I suppose you have seen all the movies that influence him).

I don't know what problem you have with Tarantino but I read your posts enough to believe that this is a sincere inquiry. I you see that I have given a sincere response.
