The "bad" acting by Brad Pitt was deliberate (unless you thought the attempt at bad acting was itself bad). To me this movie was sort of an hommage, if not an outright parody, to war movies that included such bad actors as Aldo Ray, had ridiculous plot flaws (like planning to meet in such public, and obviously ill chosen places like a tavern, vide, "Where Eagles Dare"), and most outrageously -- the loose attention to historic accuracy (most notably the "slight" rewriting of history at the end of the movie).

I rewatched the Kill Bill movies and Tarrantino is an artist. I get the sense that he truly LOVES making movies and more than he loves watching them. He's a sponge, he's creative and probably the best American Director - certainly the best at what he does.

IB was a lot of fun. He takes care with the look of his films and with dialogue which is sometimes completely absurd but at the same time suits the world he creates so that you accept it. Kill Bill is Preposterous on almost every level and yet it's a lot of fun to listen to those conversations.

Take the scene in Kill Bill II with Uma and Darryl Hannah. "that's right! I killed your Master! is delivered in such a silly over the top manner that references those samurai movies to a tee. I love that goofy homage and somehow Tarrantino gets the dialogue to rise above what it is he is paying homage to.

Yes. Absolutely, the bad attempt was bad.
It is not in any way a fiction.
It is the real seen with the eyes of an artist.
A pleasure for the brain.
