Because of the bloody violence in the film, "Ginger" was banned in many countries at the time, but for Quentin Tarantino, this kind of film was his favorite. Quentin, who was born in a video rental shop, has always had a strong film history complex: in "Kill Bill", he pays tribute to Shaw Kung Fu movies and Bruce Lee; in "King Kong Isn't Bad", he pays homage to the Hollywood B-level film seniors. A tribute to the "Moulin Rouge Movie"; in "Inglourious Basterds", Quentin simply arranged for a film critic to appear directly, chattering about his love for "mountain movies", and revealed his love of European films through various details in the film. History is familiar with the heart; this time the release of "The Rescued Jiang Ge", Quentin Tarantino is a fanfare to Sergio Kobusi, and through Sergio Kobusi, to the " "Italian Macaroni Western" expresses heartfelt respect.
Quentin, who was born in Ye Luzi, always has a “murderous spirit” that provokes the academic school. From the above description, it is not difficult to see that Quentin rarely expresses a good impression of the old movies that are included in the film history textbooks, but rather All kinds of "low-class" old movies are highly praised. The term "cult film" is popular nowadays, which refers to low-cost films that are skewed, unique in style, have strong personal characteristics of the creator, and are not targeted at mainstream audiences. Quentin’s works can obviously be classified into the category of “cult movies”, but the generational change in the North American film market is surging. Quentin’s cult movies have actually gradually entered the mainstream commercial film pattern in recent years. The milestone turning point is "Inglourious Basterds", a film that earned 320 million U.S. dollars in the global box office. It was starred by popular Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt. From the box office and cast perspective, The traditional Hollywood blockbusters are no different-it now appears that "The Freed Jiange", which was released for a month, has earned more than 250 million US dollars in the global box office, as well as Leonardo DiCaprio's It shouldn’t be a problem to reproduce the brilliance of "Shameless Bastard" on stage.
Quentin’s love for violent aesthetics runs through the whole of his creation. It should be said that this is a kind of "unrefined" hobby. It is difficult to convince the mainstream film market to be addicted to the depiction of violent details. Crowd. Quentin’s "Kill Bill" and "King Kong Isn't Bad" have all been put on the coat of female vengeance. The audience is easier to identify emotionally, and it also smears the violence of the whole film with a layer of "justice" thought color; In "Shameless Bastards", Quentin put the mobs in the background of World War II, letting these unblinking people kill the Nazis and let them sweep blood in the cinema with submachine guns. Flowing into a river-first of all, this greatly satisfied Quentin’s violent taste; secondly, since the killers were Nazi leaders such as Hitler and Goebbels, violence has a layer of "justice" aura, which is completely in line with The "political correctness" principle of universal ideology, Quentin's vigorous play, the audience will not be disgusted.
"The Rescued Jiang Ge" also continues this approach. Kobusi's "Jiang Ge" mainly tells the rivalry between the cowboy killer and the bandit gang. Although there is a strong moral tendency, it is basically a " As for the Latin American natives, the story of "black eats black" appears in both the roles of bandit and civilian victim in "Jing Ge". There are no black characters in the whole film. Quentin put "The Rescued Jiang Ge" in the context of black slavery. Quentin's Jiang Ge was a dark-skinned hero who rushed to the southern slaveholder’s manor to search for a persecuted wife after regaining his freedom. The white cowboy and gangster killer portrayed is completely different. The veteran handsome DiCaprio finally got back to the addiction of bad guys under Quentin’s guide. He played a lewd, tyrannical and obsessed black slave "Mandingo Duel" (cruel A life-and-death struggle) southern slave owner; and Waltz, who played a Nazi officer in "Shameless Bastard", turned into a bounty hunter who liberated the slaves. With his help, Jiang Ge successfully mixed into the southern slave manor and finally raised his gun. After a sweeping sweep, after smoothing the manor, he took his tortured wife away and flew high.
The presidents are all blacks. Of course, it is very easy to take pictures of a black hero fighting for freedom. Even if he is a bit violent and bloodthirsty, he has the principle of "political correctness" and the cult is also mainstream.
The "Italian Macaroni Western" imported from the United States was returned to the United States by Quentin half a century later.
