Re: Why do people watch Tarantino?

"But what exactly moves people to watch Michael Madsen doing his gratuitous sadistic best?

THAT is what I would like to know."

Movies can provide an oppurtunity to explore the darker side of hman natue from a safe place. Also movies like Pulp fiction offer a lot more than gratuitous violence. If all you see is the subject matter you are missing what makes those movies terrific.


"Is there a line between that and watching the human beings torn apart by lions?"


Yes, a very significant one.

" I fail to see that line."

Many people do. here is just one significant difference. no humans were torn apart in the making of Pulp fiction. here is another one. The audience knows know humans were torn apart in the making of Pulp fiction.

Why do people go to amusement parks and strap themselves into cages that are literally dropped off a ledge and fall hundreds of feet? I know the answer, do you?
