Another Reservoir Dogs

Gangsters, violence, murder and corruption !!!!! If these are some of

the things that you're into, then this is your kind of movie. Be ready to

watch

it more than once to be sure to get all the movie has to offer because it

jumps

from subject to subject and can be a little confusing.

The movie on the whole was really great. It was filled with some pretty

gory scenes and extreme violent content, Tarantinos' trademark. The way he

portrays the real life aspects of crime and violence are unbelievable. I

wonder

if he experienced some of these things himself and that's why he has a

realistic view of them. Then again, I can't really gauge how realistic any

of

these themes are because after watching this kind of movie it makes me feel

like I lead a really sheltered lifestyle.

Why does all the violence in Tarantinos' movies become so attractive

to us normal people? I think it's because most of his material is underworld

stuff. He deals with things we can barely relate to. Topics that are so far

fetched to a "normal" person that they kind of hypnotize us into watching.

Things happen in his movies that are so bizarre, we can't begin to imagine

them happening to us in real life.

The weird part is, many of these things DO happen every day. We all

know there really are gangsters, mobsters and really low-life people that

involve themselves in what we think of as underworld crime. Drug deals....

on a level so great... amounts we can't begin to comprehend. Murders, for

whatever reason. Even the thought of hiring someone to kill someone else

gives us a goose bump or three. In his movies it's almost like borrowing a

cup of sugar from your next door neighbor. Chopping off someone's ear

would repulse me and probably make me want to spew my lunch.

Tarantinos' characters chop off ears then talk into them as if they were

using

ma bell.

His characters attitudes are totally ruthless. They could give a shit if

you were the cousin of the president or a nanny. They have a job to do and

they do it. No holes barred, no questions asked, no thought given to actions

or consequences. They are almost like robots, zombies of the underworld

that have no emotions or respect for the value of life. You would think

these

characters are drugged or brainwashed, but they're not. It amazes me that

people
