you like the ending, multiple times, and what led up to it.
What you're missing is the context: seen properly, the film is even better than you think now.
Well, you protest so much your ego will prevent you from one day saying, "Tarantino is a genius! One of the most skilled and original talents working in film today!"

You seem to equate skills with genius - they are not the same. - Victor Khomenko 10:12:22 11/30/05 (3)
Skill is just that - skill, and genius also must have a heart - something that Tarantino has not shown yet. As I already stated - the skill part is there, now I am waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I actually eventually saw the film from its beginning, so you are barking up the wrong tree. And I would still not consider it a great film overall - rather a patchwork. Although good patches were more present than in another such work - the Pulp Fiction.

  stronger, more heart-warming story?
  In Pulp Fiction, the love story between Uma and Mr. 707 I found captivating.
  Jackie Brown: it's really a love story, too.

    You almost don't notice it.
    I agree about the romance part in PF - it is perhaps the best part of the movie, with loose ends and unresolved tension... I liked it!
    - Well, remember as you watch KB1 that it was made to be of one cloth - tinear 17:55:53 11/30/05 (0)
      with KB2.
      Together, they are a fantastic work of art; very different, as they must be to maintain interest in a story for such a long time.
      That fight in the kitchen, with the closing line to the daughter, "If you feel raw about this in the future and come after me, I'll understand and I'll be waiting."
      Just the right amount of compassion, tempered with the killer's anger.
      Uma's performance raised KB1 up very high. That cute little Japanese girl killer was super, too, as was the cartoon interlude. A brilliant film, in its own right.
      (Ok, I give up on you!)
