What makes this work as opposed to an entire book of film criticism that can become dull or bogged down in more details than readers deem necessary is that first and foremost Quentin Tarantino is a serious movie fan, you might say a movie geek. CINEMA SPECULATION is written from a fan's perspective and Tarantino's enthusiasm for the subject matter comes through in every chapter.
However, it's more than just a fan homage because Tarantino is also a skilled film director, screen writer and movie reviewer and adds that point of view to his comments, which are never lofty but down-to-earth like a street corner conversation.
Tarantino starts off with a chapter about his movie-going experience as a child, when his parent would bring him along to view mature films. His recall is incredible as well as sharing amusing insights from the mind of a then nine-year-old. A great way to start and get readers engaged in turning the pages.
The focus is on American films from the 1970's, a breakthrough period in cinema and also the formative years of a young Tarantino. He loves action films, crime movies, and sometimes horror and his choices reflect his preferences (which also pretty much mirror my preferences).
