Ughhh... what boring contrived garbage!

I'm not atall fan of this new highly-politicised Tarantino. His better work was up to and including Kill Bill, and since then he just kept getting more and more heavy-handed with the Hollywood political schlock. Inglourious Basterds was entertaining and well made sure, but the Nazi stuff felt very grubby, anachronistic and Hollywood-pleasing. Same goes for Django Unchained, also entertaining but very much pushing the modern Hollywood narrative, and very anachronistic. Hateful Eight was okay, decent enough for one viewing but obnoxiously slow, and not rewatchable atall. Again, very politically charged and anachronistic.

Then comes Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. Only a few minutes into the film and I was already unimpressed and bored with the flowery self-indulgent dialogue. And then comes that Nazi scene. Ughhh. What is it with Hollywood needing to pump out endless Nazi-killing schlock? It's so boring and contrived. If Tarantino actually had some guts and went for some over the top Jew-killing stuff, just to balance it out, would Hollywood be as eager to lather him with 10 Oscar nominations like they've just now on with Once Upon? Probably not.

Since Kill Bill, I had hoped that Tarantino would continue to at least try to produce interesting and different movies, but sadly he became infected with the same fungus that engulfs pretty much all of Hollywood these days. The kind of fungus that likes to poke fun at specific people and get praised for it, but never has the guts to poke fun of other types of people that seem to be protected. I'm specifically talking about the trend of making mockery and bad guys out of White people, but never Black people or Jewish people (who are always the victims). Nazis are always the bad guys, and never the good guys. Americans and Jews are always the good guys and never the bad guys. Don't even dare proposing a film which challeneges this narrative, or you could end up in jail. The only places you can see German perspectives during WW2 are in heavily-suppressed documentaries, and never in mainstream media. Why is this? This year there are two movies nominated for the Best Film oscar which involve Nazi-killing and mockery (Once Upon, and Jojo Rabbit).

I challenge Tarantino to have some guts, and make a movie about Nazis being the good guys. No mainstream filmmaker has ever done this. Tarantino could be the one filmmaker actually with enough clout to pull it off. Dig into actual history and tell it like it really happened, not how the victors have rewritten history to portray themselves as the good guys and the Nazis as monsters, when Germany's actions were in self-defense against the combined superpowers of the age (Russia, America, France, UK, and Rothschilds).

I say all this as a keen student of history, with a desire for a more balanced understanding of recent history to become mainstream, instead of the endless garbage and falsehoods that Hollywood churns out.
