Torture Chamber, Tribute to Class B

Izaiah 2022-03-19 09:01:03

B-level films, with the names of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez on the list, downloaded the torture chamber early, but never watched it. I waited until the weather was cold, and on the evening of the New Year, I pulled it out and read it in bed.
The two stories told in the torture room are both simple and clear in the main line, without too many branch lines. Horror Planet tells the story of the toxic gas causing a large number of zombies in Texas, and the process of the survivors fleeing, interspersed with the family dispute of a doctor, the love of a dancer and a killer, and the brotherhood of two different professions. From the perspective of the plot, the branch lines are almost all It is directly connected to the main line of escape, and the story development is enough to support an hour and a half. Going further on this simple point is the death evidence. It's just a few girls chatting, talking about a mountain, and then crashing a car. This situation occurs twice. Except for the same male protagonist, the two stories can't be seen. Relevance, the process before and after the two crashes is especially similar, and I have to say: this story is too fucking simple.
But relatively speaking, after watching it, I still don't like Quentin, and I feel that Rodriguez's story of Planet of Horrors can give me more joy and excitement. Isn't that what B-rated movies are about? There are definitely ketchup flying all over the horror planet. Not only are there regular shots to the head, sticks in the eyes, and trucks smashing corpses, there are a lot of these common bloody scenes. In the end, maybe I felt that there was still a lot of ketchup, so I used straight The propellers of the lift planes shoveled people into pieces. It feels like you can find all the gory elements of a B-movie you can think of. The most liked among them is the beautiful machine gun. The weapons mounted on the stump legs, from table sticks to machine guns, and finally evolved into heavy machine guns, really have everything, especially in the case of a short dress, if the B-grade movies were popular in the era. It is difficult to make such an effect, but it is nothing under the current computer technology. As for some fighting and shooting scenes, it's just normal, if it's split, it's nothing, but it's easy to make people high until the end when they are mixed together.
As for the death evidence, it has inherited Quentin's consistent style: a lot of saliva. Although many people think that the dialogue in Quentin's films is very exciting, and many people always praise the classics, but in my opinion, there are too many dialogues that have almost nothing related to the plot, which makes people feel irritable. In addition, Quentin's segmented expression also made me feel a little bored. There are so-called ring structures and contrasts in Pulp Fiction. This death evidence only has contrast. Two stories, the same beauty and road killer, but the first one took less than a minute to hang up several beauties, the latter one is still a bit new, the cool killer in the first paragraph, in the first paragraph. The second paragraph was frightened like a child, not only did he not kill a beauty, but he was also killed by three beauties in a very wretched manner. Perhaps what Quentin wants to convey is that people will have completely different results when they encounter different objects under the same behavior.
Of course, what I admire the most is the preview of the fake new film in the middle of the film. I spent so much time making a film that does not exist, which greatly improved my feeling for the director, especially the cutting of the so-called "new film" is quite attractive. In addition, if girls watch it, they should like it better, because in these two films, ordinary girls eventually become super women. It is not necessary to kill a man at all, and it can be regarded as a subversion of tradition.
It's just that no matter what, B-grade films are just like that. They are rare. It's fine as a snack. Many people can't stand it as a regular meal. It's probably because they're rare now, so they're still happy. Not to mention a nod to a B-movie.

    The trailers are great

    Fake trailer awesome! The ending song is awesome! Women are awesome! The excessively exaggerated plasma spray in the first half actually reduces the sense of horror, but RR is really disgusting with the image of zombies~ There are also weird laughs and romantic plots. Basically, I have a full minute and a half~ Quentin's second half is gone The real route was very impatient at the beginning for a while, but at the end it was really hi! burst! !
