It’s technically one single film in the States, but over in Europe they split it into two separate releases—so I guess we're both right in a way.🙂
Then again, there is a female lead in Rodriguez's segment, but honestly... it's all pretty pathetic anyway...

Screw the Oscars. It's all just politics anyway.

So, look—Grindhouse is technically a joint effort between Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, though I wouldn't be surprised if the idea for the female lead came from Tarantino himself. He probably had more of a say in how it turned out—he's arguably the "better" director of the two, isn't he?
Anyway, we aren't really talking about Tarantino here, and Braveheart is, obviously, an incredible film. Personally, I don't think any movie that wins an Oscar is bad; they all earn it in their own way, so everything else is just down to personal taste.

Honestly, once you see that woman in Grindhouse with a machine gun where her leg should be, everything just clicks—that's really all you need to know about the legendary Tarantino😵

Forrest Gump is easily one of the better films out there—it says so much about how we live our lives, honestly. If some people just can't wrap their heads around its core essence or the message it's putting out, well, that’s on them, not the movie. Besides, it earned its Oscar fair and square. That Hanks guy—who, if I'm being honest, never particularly blew me away with this specific role—actually managed to achieve something much bigger here. In my book, it was his career-defining performance; I doubt he'll ever top it, but hey, at least he hit that peak. And please, stop bashing movies like Forrest Gump or even Braveheart—they really don't deserve the hate. 👍
