@suzianne saidLike his films too, especially the realistic use of dialogue. (Which isn't just a means to take the story forward). He does, however, have a childlike need to tie everything up at the end in a nice bow. It's there he loses the realism.
But every bad Tarantino movie has great music!
Actually, I like Tarantino's movies. Heck, I even thought Jackie Brown (1997) was good.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidI think all movies should end in resolution.

Anything less is simply unsatisfying.
@suzianne saidThe best films leave you with questions.

@chaney3 saidNot so, the child goes to heaven and the murdering SOB also goes to heaven where he does not have to pay for his crimes, at least, the abridged Dive translation.
When a 12 year old boy gets kidnapped, anally raped, murdered, then dumped in a swamp, God is absent.

@chaney3 saidWhy do you listen to Paul? According to the gospel preached by Jesus while He walked the Earth, Paul is a false prophet.
Not really. It appears the flesh dominates the spirit.
Paul said as much, "what I want to do, I can't.....what I don't want to do, is what I do.
It's all a mess.
As opposed to Paul, this is what Jesus said:
John 8
34...“Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
31...“If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; 32and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
36“So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
35“The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever.
@thinkofone saidHistorically, Paul was viewed as the Anti-Christ by many of his Christian contemporaries .

@caissad4 saidAnd some since:
Historically, Paul was viewed as the Anti-Christ by many of his Christian contemporaries .
The great theologian Soren Kierkegaard, writing in The Journals:
"In the teachings of Christ, religion is completely present tense: Jesus is the prototype and our task is to imitate him, become a disciple. But then through Paul came a basic alteration. Paul draws attention away from imitating Christ and fixes attention on the death of Christ The Atoner. What Martin Luther. in his reformation, failed to realize is that even before Catholicism, Christianity had become degenerate at the hands of Paul. Paul made Christianity the religion of Paul, not of Christ. Paul threw the Christianity of Christ away, completely turning it upside down. making it just the opposite of the original proclamation of Christ"

Albert Schweitzer, winner of the 1952 Nobel Peace Prize, has been called "one of the greatest Christians of his time." He was a philosopher, physician, musician, clergyman, missionary, and theologian. In his The Quest for the Historical Jesus and his Mysticism of Paul he writes:
"Paul....did not desire to know Christ....Paul shows us with what complete indifference the earthly life of Jesus was regarded....What is the significance for our faith and for our religious life, the fact that the Gospel of Paul is different from the Gospel of Jesus?....The attitude which Paul himself takes up towards the Gospel of Jesus is that he does not repeat it in the words of Jesus, and does not appeal to its authority....The fateful thing is that the Greek, the Catholic, and the Protestant theologies all contain the Gospel of Paul in a form which does not continue the Gospel of Jesus, but displaces it."
