(11,464 posts)Bernie Madoff was a good example of someone who obviously believed the Producers, as he did the same thing.
Bernie was Jewish, as were I think 100% of his clients. He kept it in the family so to say.
But the comparison isn't valid anyhow.
So you are saying Tarentino is a comedian?
Because the comparison only works if that is so.
Tarentino is not a comedian. He is deadly serious.Laughing to the bank deadly serious, making millions.
and I don't agree that QTs movies are satires, as the ones he steals from are not satires.
(especially the grindhouse movies that love their mutilations and gore and forced sex).
And his movies are direct thefts of those movies. He is in love with the style of movie, that those movies he steals from are.
I don't see any redemption in his movies.
In the producers, they end up in jail like Bernie Madoff.
In IB, Christoph Waltz's character has a fairytale ending.
(and what accent was Brad Pitt talking in?)
and well, find no need to defend or not defend a 1960s movie by Mel Brooks, as he is not relevant to 2013. It is true, that Mel Brooks offended everybody.
But the rightwing don't get satire, farce and irony, and shouldn't be fed.
