    People might note that Mr. Blonde was introduced as Vic Vega, who happens to share the same last name as Vincent in Pulp Fiction. This wasn't a coincidence as it was canonically confirmed they were, in fact, brothers. Madsen was initially going to make an appearance in Pulp Fiction but Tarantino decided against it since many of Reservoirs cast was returning in different roles and it would lead to some confusion.

    • @ivanjbl
      @ivanjbl 24 дня назад +15

      Wrong. He was supposed to be Vincent. Tarantino offered him the role but Madsen declined the offer since he had another project he was going to work on. That project fell though but by the time that happened, John Travolta had already been cast. And that’s when they decided to make it cannon that they are brothers.

    27:58 Supposedly Tarantino blew most of the budget for the music just for the copyrights to play Stuck in the Middle with You, because he was absolutely adamant about having that be the song played during that particularly brutal scene with Mr. Blonde and the cop.

    The subtle nuance in this film is amazing, and it is quite like a play in its simplicity (mostly due to budget constraints). The performances are fantastic, but Tim Roth as Mr. Orange was S-tier. He perfectly conveys the way worrying about your image, or looking like a tough guy goes out the window when you think you're about to die. It's a little aspect to the character that many actors never would have thought to include.

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrells did the same trick. It's brilliant and feels more satisfying than revealing something previously hidden to the audience.

As the police enter the warehouse shortly after, it's reasonable to assume Mr. Pink was killed as well.

    Quentin Tarantino films are plays. Many of them have lots of dialogue and can be set in one room. Just look at the movie, the hateful eight. And you must understand that the one place they filmed in which was the warehouse which was due to the fact that they had a low budget. This is a low budget film. Tarantino knew this when he was writing it. Because originally he was going to direct it himself on 16 mm film. Until the script got some buzz… And Harvey Keitel got attached. And that's when the studio gave them more money to film it.

    About the sound design, if you go back and rewatch the scene after Joe, Mr. White, and Eddie shoot each other, Mr. Pink leaves and Mr. White and Mr. Orange's riveting scene and reveal is so intense you may not notice the background noises... and what happens to Mr. Pink, which is an interesting way to make rewatches of this masterpiece of film even more enjoyable.
    I think Quentin Tarantino found his style and groove in Reservoir Dogs but was able to flesh it out and do it bigger/better in Pulp Fiction because he now had a big budget.
    I saw this in a movie theater when it released. I was blown away. I would forever tell people "There is a crime that has gone badly, but the movie is about the characters and each revealing their story of how they ended up in the crime and what happens with each character in the aftermath." The heist is just background, the real story is our characters and THEIR stories.

    The first script written by Tarantino was actually True Romance, but he sold that as well as Natural Born Killers, in order to get funds to make Reservoir Dogs. For me, it would have been interesting to see how those scripts would have worked out if Tarantino had directed them himself. Otherwise, for me, Tarantino’s defining movies are still Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction (although some really like Jackie Brown as a more ‘mature’ movie). The movies he made after these were primarily revenge fantasy movies in various genres - which weren’t as interesting to me as the themes of the original films.

    It's funny how you kept talking about the movie could be a play, because a long time ago a playhouse in my hometown of Erie, PA did it as a play and it was so cool seeing it like that. They actually fired blanks during the scenes where Orange shoots Blonde and the final standoff. It was so loud in the theater when they did that, but it was so effective, especially when Orange shot Blonde. Great review as always!!

    Paused what I was watching and came here immediately upon noticing this in the sidebar. Tarantino is one of The Greats, and this is one of his greatest movies (and a personal favourite, perhaps partially because it introduced me to one of my favourite actors of all-time, Steve Buscemi). Brilliant writing, an absolutely stacked cast, and an amazing 70's soundtrack.
    Plus, the ease with which it could be turned into a stage play is intriguing. Cheers and Happy Weekend, Y'all. 🥃☮❤

    Since you liked Tim Roth's portrayal of Mr. Orange in this movie you may also enjoy seeing him in the role of Archie Cunningham (one of the most memorable and despicable villains of modern cinema) in the '90s film ROB ROY. Jessica Lange is quite good in it, too, maybe the best role she's ever been given and arguably her finest performance. Another historical Scottish biopic made in the same year as BRAVEHEART and I know of many who think it the better between the two.

    One of the beauties of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction is the use of diagetic music. This means that all of the music in these movies is music being listened to by the actual characters in the movie. It's a brilliant technique that not many directors can master.

    I always found it fascinating that Quentin Tarantino, famous for his wide knowledge of and appreciation for cinema, with all its grandeur, made for his first film something that could have been originally a stage play adapted for the screen. There's obviously the few inserted flashback scenes, but most of the story is just talking in a single space. I'm sure the small budget was the reason, but it's just interesting that it's in his canon.

    Quentin is one of four directors whom I've managed to see every one of their films in a theater. The others are David Fincher, Sam Mendes and Darren Aronofsky. "Dogs" played in only a few theaters in Chicago back in 1992, but I still saw it three times. My favorite of his movies, possibly because it's his shortest.

For me the sound was a strong part and something I've loved thru Quentin's catalog of movies, he is great with sound while also subtle!
