That made me want to see it again - the same 30 minutes, plus more.Next time I caught additional 20 minutes or so - and wanted to see more again.
It took four or five attempts - thanks to the cable service - for me to finally finish the film, meaning I saw the ending that many times.
It is a tricky film. I can understand your reaction, if you were expecting to see a conventional film. But it is more a work of ark, as grins indicated, than a plot-based work.
I am a Tarantino hater, not fan, but I would not deny his talent - too bad he almost never uses his true talent, resorting instead to making garbage. But the artistic side in KB is so strong it speaks its own language.
But I suspect if like you I started watching the film from beginning, it might irritate me too - would be harder to get to that art side, which is so abundantly present in the ending, and to me it was THAT that set the tone for the film.
