Quentin became interested as soon as he heard it. These two masters were originally similar in taste. In addition, although the previous "Sin City" was a pleasant cooperation, it was not enjoyable and enjoyable.
So the two agreed to make a movie each (the two movies are "Death Proof" and "Planet of Horrors", which are not good birds when you hear the name) and then put them together as a whole mill movie. Of course, the two Compete secretly to see who is rougher and can get closer to the movie of that era.
"Scimitar" appeared as a fake trailer in this movie that was translated into "The Punishment" (which should actually be a mill movie).
This fake trailer is just over a minute long, but it's amazing! The general plot is that the killer male protagonist who is too ugly to bear to watch is framed and seeks revenge. Blood, violence, dew points, in short, there are three more vulgarities.
After the release of "The Punishment Room", the response was mediocre, but this non-existent pseudo-trailer made people linger. So, Rogriguez found investment and decided to expand this trailer and make it into a movie, so there is this rare vulgar, vulgar and vulgar B-level film "Bend" in the film industry today. Knife".
Here's an explanation of why I said Quentin was good in the last paragraph, because in my opinion Quentin's last movie "Inglourious Basterds" was a complete show of goodwill to the mainstream media, taking the initiative to dedicate himself to security, and sing the red theme of the European revolution. 's film.
Of course, this is understandable, just like so many people have to pass the civil service exam. Look at Daniel Boyle's gentle manner when he was promoting "Slumdog Millionaire", and when you filmed "Trainspotting" Where is the rebellion? Looking at David Fincher again, he almost made Brad Pitt in "Rejuvenation" into a public lover. The one in "Seven Deadly Sins" pointed a gun diagonally at Kevin Spacey, irritable and irritable. What about Pete, who pulled the trigger in desperation? Even Guy Ritchie is making his way into the mainstream director circle with Sherlock Holmes.
Everyone is eager to get the affirmation of the academy, and Quentin is no exception. If you don't believe it, just wait and see. When he finds a suitable script, he will make a "Noble Novel" immediately.
That's why "Scimitar" seems so precious, especially in today's film circle, where the mainstream of movies makes people quite non-mainstream.
At a party, when talking about Cult films, someone asked me if I had seen "Dog Town"? I answered that I almost forgot about it, how many years have it been? Cult is not Classic. If a movie is regarded as a Cult classic or a Cult Bible, then it loses the meaning of Cult itself. It is because of disobedience, because of evil spirits, because you are more serious and I am more stubborn, because I want to subvert The classic you mentioned, this world gave birth to Cult, isn't it?
Therefore, "Scimitar" at least let people see that there are directors entertaining, and some people lift your fig leaf, whether the joke is dirty or not, look at your heart, Buddha sees Buddha, Taoist sees Tao, and it comes out of my mouth, Entering your ears is acceptable. No one has been vulgar, and who can be so elegant?
"Scimitar" made me see the shadow of Cult. At least it restored 70 to 80% of the Millennium movie in its demeanor. It was slightly lacking in form, but it was content. At least it also allowed you to see Lindsay Lohan. breasts.
The mill movie is a unique product in American film history. When we were still broadcasting on small speakers and grandpa Sun Jingxiu was telling stories, American movies were already quite prosperous. The competition between film companies and theaters was very strong. In order to grab the box office , Some movies full of vulgar content have appeared one after another, relying on pure sensory stimulation such as blood, violence, pornography, and horror to attract audiences to the cinema. Of course, this is only a process of development.
In fact, it is also the same as today's domestic films, like "Three Smiles, Talented and Beautiful", "Yueguang Treasure Box" and "Dragon Phoenix Store". When our directors tried to explore and shoot domestic westerns, domestic road films, and domestic crime films, our domestic mill films were already at the forefront of exploration.
And, as a three-vulgar mill movie, I think they have been very successful.
