Classic crime movie turns into a vampire horror flick

Checked it out, the movie was released in 1996, and it came out after Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, so we should expect Quentin Tarantino to be a little bit more demanding. Therefore, my rating is 'very poor', and as a Quentin movie it is really bad. If the timeline is reversed, then we can consider this to be his study work and give it a 'OK' rating. There's nothing wrong with this kind of evaluation eccentricity, because we're all kind and principled viewers.

Although Quentin is only one of the screenwriters and main actors of this film, not the director, we still believe that the screenwriter needs to be responsible for the entire story, and the director is responsible for both the story and the way the story is expressed, so we can still think that This is Quentin's movie, Quentin's bad movie. Because the movie sucks in the story rather than the presentation.

As for the director named Robert Rodriguez, it was the first time I heard it. I checked again and found that he has made some movies called "Thugs", "Knowledge", "Children's Agent", "Three Steps", "Once Upon a Time in Mexico", "Sin City" and "The Torture Chamber". Among them, only the name Once Upon a Time in Mexico evokes the desire to watch the movie.

In fact, at the beginning of the movie, the straight road against the gray-yellow background of the small town in the western United States, the tavern, the patrolman who didn't forget to stretch his legs when he got out of the car, he talked to the shopkeeper's saliva, in Quentin and George Rooney I was hooked on this movie long before these two bad guys showed up with guns.

The villain who robbed the prison is on the loose. The police cast a wide net to hunt them down. They fled south to Mexico. They also took a bank clerk as a hostage. The lost priest and widower Harvey Keitel are going with a pair of children. On the way to the U.S.-Mexico border, the two teams met unexpectedly, and a good show was about to begin. When priests and criminals, criminals and criminals, hostages and hostages are about to put on a wonderful crime type film and show and explore human nature in depth, it is like "Slow Fiction", like "No Country for Old Men", like "Two Smoking" Like Guns, or at least like Crazy Stone, or it can be as clean as Zodiac, and finally we can ask what is all this for, or The Seven Deadly Sins or "Drug Network" can be anything you like, but how the hell can you suddenly let a crime movie fly down three thousand feet into a horror movie about fighting vampires when all this is set up?

The problem is, it's not scary at all, but outrageously absurd. Juliette's not letting the vampires eat it is just shrimp crap. Blind BBW Salma Hayek did such a good dance.

All of this, it's like all the preludes to the date are arranged perfectly, the little red wine is drank, the candles are lit, the room is opened, and half of the clothes are taken off under the beautiful music and perfect light, and the straight man finds out The other party is not a woman.

I go!

The reason why my disappointment is so strong is because Quentin in 1996 is already Quentin who has filmed "Low Speed ​​Fiction". Low-speed novels, alas, that's just ordinary people. As a director + screenwriter, Pulp Fiction won the 1995 Oscars for Best Original Screenplay, Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Editing, and Best Director. A basket of jackpots. The Golden Autumn Awards, Caesar Awards, and Saturn Awards in other regions can also be listed on a large A4 paper. In addition to the Best Picture, Best Screenplay and Best Actress, the BAFTA also gave it a Best Sound Award-- -Because the music in it is chosen to fit the story perfectly. We are not snobbishers who think they look good until they have won an award, but this classic crime film, with several lines advancing the story, is amazing. Compared with other feature films, it is like the difference between a symphony and a solo. Sophisticated, cunning, entertaining and thought-provoking.

From Dusk Till Dawn this movie should be Quentin's movie, Quentin's longest role in the movie, should also be the only movie as the main actor. As an actor, he did a really good job. It's also possible that he is acting in his true colors, because he doesn't have to act because he looks like a neurotic wanted criminal, crazy nuts.
