End of an era of what? You mean 1969 marks an end of an era? Why does that specific year mark it?In many ways taking apart Tarantino’s ideas leaves nothing. Why he chose the time and place was related to the end of an era....maybe? Of course those are my own interjections. Hollywood probably as it’s a tribute to Tarantino’s love for the place. So I guess I feel he loves both 1969 and Hollywood. He’s at the position in life where he can basically do what he wants, and get away with it. The thing is I never thought of it but how many of his movies are in the past? Basically......Inglorious Bastards has been in the past and every movie since (4)......and the 6 before........ present-day? At least that’s how I figure it? So he has only gone into history with the last 4 movies.

His movies are violent, and from what I've heard, he enjoys the expression of violence in different ways. That's one of the key signature of his. He likes to show brutal violence.My father walked out of the theater at that point. Which is a perfect example of how incredibly violent Tarantino can be in his movies, but people desensitized don’t notice it.
But maybe he’s the best with that style, you know..........guns accidentally going off randomly?
Shaw Brothers did brutal violence way before Tarantino. Tarantino's gun violence was influenced by John Woo's with multiple gun shots/wounds. I've seen movies of his that he takes from other movies, and just looks like copy of the original style, but not as good as an original, which is what I'm not really into. Like Kill Bill for example. I would rather watch a John Woo Hong Kong classic in which he does these gun violence scenes properly with a more of a purpose. On the other hand, Tarantino's adaption of such style is just seems like for the sake of violence. So yeah, I can see why there would be people that are uncomfortable with his depiction of violence.
Saving Private Ryan is a prime example of violence expressed as a necessity. Can't say the same for Tarantino.
