RE: Tarantino's "Death Proof"

Don't worry. The European masters, like Fellini and Bergman, weren't very impressed by Orson Wells, either. They saw him as a showman.
American critics, in general, like surface. No wonder they love the shallow and artless Citizen Kane.
Charlie Chaplin fell out of favor with American critics after being accused of being a communist and they now prefer the all-American Buster Keaton. But the likes of Fellini and Bergman idolized Chaplin. And why shouldn't they? Even the simplest of Chaplin shorts has more art and artistry, more heart, more soul, more depth, more energy and more humanism than Wells' entire oeuvre.
Chaplin is the standard all other Hollywood directors are measured against. So far nobody has measured up.
