How to be Quentin

Today's old movie appreciation time we watched "Pulp Fiction". Well, me, Quentin fangirl. Looking at it today, I have some new insights. I am so obsessed with him, in large part because his films are really literary. . I feel that he is already a very mature novelist (the kind that is quite stylish and can copy). Let me briefly describe his characteristics. I am not proud (although I am), as long as you follow this route and grasp the essence, becoming Quentin is not a dream. 1. There are no ordinary people in the story, only marginal people, all kinds of criminals, who kill without blinking or even shaking the hair on their feet. 2. Criminals go to work like going to work, crime is not exciting or enjoyable, just a "hey then I gotta make some money to get by" choice. They say "what kind of pistol do you bring for this job today, you should get a double-barrel shotgun" is the same as when we say "the powerful gel pen is difficult to use, don't buy it next time". "Professional, gentlemen, be professional in everything you do." 3. If crime is work, people won't be full of crime (what kind of neuropathy will be full of work), so everyone has to do a lot of work Gossip and gossip. Actions tend to start with big chunks of gossip and gossip, with a few people in the car, restaurant, or on the move, they may dress like gangsters (workwear), maybe not (casual clothes), but always say a lot of useless Nonsense (so trashy that they can't tell who they are going to kill or rob), from my own girl, my brother's girl, yesterday's fish was not fresh, I have an aunt Ginny who gave me a quilt , to what do you think of Madonna, then McDonald's, so what do you think of God. Conversation is lengthy, movement is slow, and crime is done in a split second. 4. The more boring and tedious the conversation, the better, but there needs to be logic in it, metaphors for events, and hints to the characters' lives and future encounters, full of clues, and the repeated content in boring conversations will gradually slow down. The upward spiral strengthens the tension of the movie, making the characters and the moviegoers inexplicably nervous together, which is probably similar to sex. The repetitive mechanical movements in the early stage are to enhance the pleasure, and the climax is the crime, and the crime is just a moment. And then there's the endless emptiness, and cleaning (or not being able to) the mess, ha, it's about the same as sex, the sheets are just hard to wash, the car chairs are even harder, whether it's blood, brains, or semen, ah Life, you are a piece of shit. 5. Ah life, you are a piece of shit. Everyone can be cool for 5 minutes (the so-called highlight of life), if you are cruel and violent, then cool for 10 minutes, but life is still shit. Well, the above is my summary (I am really a clever little ghost), and the picture below is based on the theory I summarized, I imitated a Quentin-style novel, proving that I put equal emphasis on theory and practice, and integrate knowledge and action.
