After watching the extended version, one question is whether Quentin has changed editors. The procrastination of the film is really disgusting. After checking, it turned out that Salimenko died unexpectedly in 2010. Maybe after that no editor will ask a big director like Quentin to cut the film more refined. Quentin can use his ideas in his movies freely, but it is difficult to create something like "Pulp Fiction". The boutique. It is also a non-linear narrative, the standard of this film is far from "Pulp Fiction". The lack of language in the camera is so heinous. The plot is almost driven by the lines, but after a lot of nonsense, the plot seems to have no progress. In terms of photography, more lenses are placed on the bright coffee pot. Throughout the movie, this coffee pot is not the most important object. Using color to highlight this prop is more like a dazzling technique, and on the dining table. The light from above makes it feel like the director has no other way to tell the story. Quentin has watched many Hong Kong movies, but the shootout scenes are still so boring. Some viewers will compare this movie to "New Dragon Inn", but the fighting scenes of "New Dragon Inn" are even colder than this movie. It's much more beautiful, and it's even more enjoyable with the soundtrack. In this film, apart from the boring lines, the rest is blood plasma of violence for the sake of violence. In addition to non-linear narratives, can Quentin rely on lines to support the plot? We can think that this movie is Quentin's upper limit, he is nothing without a world-class editor. Of course, we can also think that Quentin is still a world-class director, but lacks an excellent editor.
