C'mon. There are a lot more people who "understand" Tarantino than "understand" Tarkovsky, Bergman and Fellini put together. Or Johnnie To, to take a current director. (I'm not that much of a Johnnie To fan. I mention him because he's one of just a handful of commercial directors working today who have earned my respect. His partner, Wai Ka-fai is another.) If anything, Tarantino is the most overexposed director in the history of the world.

Even Tarantino fanboys tend to agree that he is a complete embarrassment as an actor. Even the hammy Orson Wells looks restraint in comparison. Chaplin they are not.

By saying "do not understand" you imply that everybody else is not intelligent enough to see what you see. It has nothing to do with "understanding" or "getting it." It has to do with being interesting or not. I do not understand why I should waste time on a movie if I do not find it interesting.
