Plot = scheme of action.
Actions = character.
Motive = the why of a character's actions.
When - all too often! - plot is divorced/disconnected from characters - a kind of superimposition with the 'characters little better than pawns to drive the plot - that you get a stinker.
You spend all your time wondering - wtf did he/she do that?
That's what's wrong with Tarantino - he rips off plots, even entire genres. As a result, you don't know why the characters do what they do. Or even, in the case of RDogs' last scene, 'how.' (Run out of time/money + too many characters = Mex standoff. What a cop-out. In every sense.) What's more, you don't give a flying fuck.
Guess 'why' is too much of a stretch for Quint Makin' A Mint' T.
