I just watched this movie. It features numerous barefoot women. Director Quentin Tarantino is noteworthy for featuring close-ups of women's bare feet.
That's because he's a known foot fetishist. He's been doing this since the beginning, his films are hardcore self-indulgence. Just watch Salma Hayek's snake dance scene in "From Dusk Till Dawn", in 1996. How much more obvious can you get? How's the movie in general? I've heard Brad Pitt kicks Bruce Lee's ass.
The scene in which “Sharon Tate” pulls off her boots and rests her very long legs and dirty soles to the camera for several seconds is mildly sexy (and denotes Tarantino’s foot thingy). The movie is vastly overlong, not at all interesting (and I am a Tarantino fan), and did I mention overlong? Not a patch on Jackie Brown or his previous film. Consequently, those dirty soles were my only memorable moment.
I thought the film was excellent. The interplay between Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt was also excellent. Nor was the movie overlong...indeed I was surprised when it got to the end because I was so engrossed in it. No, Brad Pitt does not kick Bruce Lee's ass per se. The character Cliff Booth (played by Pitt) is having either a flashback or a fantasy about meeting the character Bruce Lee (played by Mike Moh) on a studio lot. They get into a "discussion" and agree to a "friendly" contest to see who can knock whom down two out of three tries. Booth lets Lee kick him to the ground in the first round, and asks Lee to do it again. Booth parries and throws Lee into a parked car. In the third round, they are going at it pretty much even-steven "chop-sockie" style until they are stopped by another person. Bruce Lee fans have objected to the scene, saying Lee would've kicked the crap out of a stunt man like Booth...and wouldn't have been as arrogant as he was depicted in the movie. But the scene was a FLASHBACK or FANTASY in Booth's head, so it would naturally be slanted in Booth's favor. Anyway, if you like Tarantino movies, you'll like this one. If you don't like Tarantino, you might like it. I thought it was a somewhat "kinder, gentler" Tarantino film (although the climax was pretty violent.)
