Absolutely typical Quentin Tarantino and absolutely atypical Tony Gert.

Quentin's early screenwriting films. For most new filmmakers, you can find a lot of details from his own real-life experience in his early work, and this is the case. The male protagonist is a clerk in a video rental shop. His favorite movies are Hong Kong and Japanese action movies, and his most admired director is John Woo... This is actually the incarnation of Quentin himself. We can imagine a little clerk who has nothing to do, guarding the stall with dull eyes every day, but in his mind is fantasizing about an adventurous and exciting life, knives and guns, lightning and flint, illegal behavior, immoral love, and confrontation with the normal world. crazy world. This is a man with a head full of stories who was before Hollywood graciously opened its doors to him.

I like Quentin's movies because I like the incisive and lawless feeling. This grandson has a wild imagination, and this is the closest to the ultimate definition of freedom in the minds of men.

Tony Gert, I thought he was far less flamboyant than his brother Ridley Gert. That's my consistent impression of Top Gun, Top Gun, and most recently, Domino's. Especially the BMW commercials (the Beat the Devil part) and the fancy aesthetics in Domino's make me think he's gone too far.

However, after all, it depends on the book itself. In 1993, when he caught Quentin's good book, he wasn't the Tony Gert I knew. Simple, specific, and unpretentious pictures, but also with strong explosive power, the narrative has a good sense of layering, and the editing can hold up, without playing with fancy things. Look, he used to be a good director.

The other most amazing part of the film is the extravagant cast: the protagonist Christian Slater, who is out of action now, needless to say, was when he was in his prime; Val Kilmer, the superstar at the time, only played a no-show. The Elvis Presley, who has appeared in the face, is estimated to be played by friendship; Dennis Hopper, he will not play the bad guy, he will play a great dad; Gary Oldman (Tonis Gert loves him the most, he acts in many movies), Tom Sizemore, Christopher Walken, James Gandolfini, if you are familiar with gangster films, you will know that any gangster film without these actors will not lose much if you just don't watch them. These are the gods who play gangsters. Ah; there are two people who are the most pitiful, one is Brad Pitt. At that time, I really did not think that it would become so popular. Maybe only "Love in the River" has some popularity, so I played a small supporting role, an unlucky actor, every day high. In a daze; one is Samuel L. Jackson, just two lines, basically let people die as soon as they come out, wearing sunglasses, if I don't tell you which one you are looking for! However, I suspect that the two of them had a friendly cameo at that time, because after all, they were also famous.

nice! Supplementary film~

    1 Quentin wrote the first script, and the money he sold was used to film "Falling Dog". 2 Gary Oldman's shape may be the muse of Captain Jack. 3 It is said that Brad Pitt soy sauce, in fact, the most soy sauce is Samuel Jackson. 4 Various tributes in the script, old port movies, Japanese kung fu movies, rock music, Elvis, etc. 4 I haven't fallen in love with a certain heroine for a long time, but this heroine really loves her, especially her voice, which is sweet, sexy and cute.

    Golden Strawberry: After reviewing it, I still feel that the soundtrack is a failure. It makes the whole film fall into a strange impetuous tone, losing its proper sense of black humor and fate, just like the director Tony wearing Elvis's outfit at the Oscar scene. In fact, Quentin's semi-autobiographical storyline was enough to make the film stand out from the crowd back then.
