one reason for the existence of god- the anatomy of the striking arm of the Stomapod, also known as the mantis shrimp. look it up. to me, that's "bigger" than the countless divine interventions that have changed my life for the better. then of course there's the case of that Indian mystic who NASA hired to study because he exists on nothing more than water and sunlight.
to me the two are tied together. my belief in the God-given meaning of life is that our mortal bodies are cocoons, places for our souls to grow in wisdom and enlightenment..or as in far too many cases, to wither and blacken. some people just choose to live without any purpose more significant than material accumulation, addictions, routines, etc., and for them, i think they receive only oblivion.
i think that Tarantino is successful largely because he relies on our hunger for nostalgia. once his generation ages to the point of no longer being a "Key filmgoing demographic", he will be largely forgotten. i do give him credit for getting more out his key group of actors than any other director could, and for writing good dialogue.
