Some might say that making a trashy movie that is actually good can be the hardest thing. In order to balance between the trashy elements and the ones that can make the film not only watchable but worthy you must have a clear and visible talent. Quentin Tarantino is probably the best man for this job. He knows the ways of trashy cinema and he knows better than anyone to present them in a way that look like the best fucking movie in the world. Death Proof is a bad movie there is no doubt about that. It was made delibaretely to look bad and cheap. But there is much more to it than what it looks. The dialogues of this movie, cheesy and awfully dirty as they are, give a certain type of flavor to the film, a unique flavor, a one that makes you want to get up there and shout. It's this feeling that the lines produce to you that you feel like a accomplice in some kind of a crime that was made delibarately to provoke and to ridicule aesthetic. And that I am telling you can be awfully fun to watch.
Even the story but itself is a shrine to everything ridicilous and naive. A stuntman who kills young women with his car. A real laughable story that for some reason that only Quentin can explain it works so damn great to the film. The trashy story looks like it becomes one with the cheesy dialogues and together they form an alliance that makes the movie to rise to a height that only great films reach. Death Proof is a film that really has no competitor in the fun part. It's maybe the number one fun movie to watch. Beers, whiskeys, joints and pizzas all together Saturday night and you feel that you are been transported to heaven with that movie. As an answer to pompous seriousness and lack of humor in art, Death Proof is the number one answer and a movie that stays unforgettable from minute one till the very last one.
