Think about riding a bike. Now think how hard riding a bike is up a hill. Now remember the THRILL of getting to the top and just let it coast all the way down the hill. Death Proof does just that for me. It took a while to build and for me to get interested. The first half of the movie is extremely predictable and I find myself constantly thinking, "Did Tarantino really direct this?" I was beyond confused because I have always known Tarantino to keep things interesting which he did but it wasn't until he "reached the top of the hill." The first half was slow to start but set up of the rest of the movie perfectly and while it was slow and awkward at times it was 100 percent necessary to pull off this sort of movie. The second half of the movie was not as grueling to watch and just like reaching the top of the hill is very statisfying to coast through. Just as if you were on a bike coasting to the bottom the ending of this movie leaves you wanting to say, "Wow that was great!" It is completely worth the wait and required patience just to see the second half of the movie and ending but you cannot simply skip to the second part because then it would not be as rewarding to see the end.
Death Proof deserves an...
