I did not know ahead of time the movie was going to portray an alternative history, but I liked how it played out.

Yes, the tavern scene was good, but hard contrast between the careful dialogue then sudden extreme violence, I guess I don’t like that abrupt transition and Tarantino loves it.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie–even the surprising ending. I thought the tavern scene was equally amazing as the opening scene–it is amazing how all the actors carried on in multiple languages without losing the energy in their delivery of their dialogue.

I guess it is partially because I approached the movie expecting a “Tarrantino flim” that I had no problem with the violence, the dialogue, or the plot. For me it was just madcap, over the top fun (if the violence had been more subtle it might have been disturbing, but it was so bombastic as to lack a realistic punch).

What I think is funny is that so many people think this kind of story is something new. It’s not. It’s called “alternate history” and there are oodles of “alternate histories” written by science fiction authors and mainstream “historicals” authors. The folks in Hollywood and critics and reviewers in general need better backgrounds in literature.
