Reservoir Dogs

Post by Mike »

Genius film. Given the rather limited number of locations in the film Tarranteno manages to construct a powerful film about a police compromised robbery.

I was particularly fascinated to see Mr Brown's (Tarranteno) smug smile as he was filmed in the opening strut across the car park.

A wonderful film. I loved the fact that so many different stories went on within the one film. I truly enjoyed the music even sadistically when he was cutting his ear off. Some memorable moments in cinematic history

Would you say Pulp Fiction is better or worse?

I would personally say PF is better as the stories have stronger interrelationships. . . . but then they are really both 5S films!

I think PF works better as a film. RD is more a bunch of scenes stiched together, where-as with PF the stories are more inter-related and there is more emotional build-up with the characters.

Both quality films though.

no disagreement here, which rather leaves me with little to say

PF is a better film in terms of storyline by far. Both still qualify for 5 stars in my opinion though because RD is wonderful and has many memorable moments.

I haven't seen the Kill Bill volumes so I couldn't comment on them. However, I plan on seeing them soon.

I like them together but not as separate films. I would recommend a mamoth film watching session to get the full flavour behaviour! :D
