absurdity worth seeing

Quentin's famous works are naturally worth seeing. Many people put the film together with pulp fiction to illustrate Quentin's ghost horse.

Personally, I feel that the film is very compact, and the scenes are concentrated in the warehouse. With this as the center, the description of each character in the film is expanded. Orange's identity as a police officer was only revealed when he arrived, and White tried his best to defend it, even at the expense of his old friend Joe. Pink's neuroticism, Blond's madness, BROWN's soy sauce, and BLUE's lack of presence, constitute the main theme of the film.

A simple armed robbery case, which could have been peaceful, was thrown into chaos by BROWN's massacre. Various people on the team have different situations as a result. Orange is full of self-confidence, but he was accidentally injured by a passerby, and he almost burped. He was able to mix well in the gangster circle, but he never thought that he would turn his bed in the gutter and be accidentally injured by a lady. WHITE has been working on a case for a lifetime. The main reason is that he is a person who looks at the fire, but he is deceived by a note, and he is not guaranteed in the evening. BLOND kills like numb, rebellious, and doesn't even recognize Joe's boss status. He kills casually in a loner, but he is shot to death by an accomplice who is a policeman without any defense. And Joe, as a gangster, has done so many cases, he can escape death every time, and even has loyal subordinates to protect him, but in the end he died at the hands of an old friend. The whole film is full of absurd black comedy, so unbearable, yet so reasonable.

Reservoir Dogs quotes

  • [after hearing Orange's smuggling story]

    Joe: Only one thing to do in that case: shit in yer pants an' dive in and swim!

  • Mr. Pink: [about Mr. Blonde] He seems okay now, but he was crazy in the store.

    Mr. White: This is what he was doing...

    Mr. White: Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

    Mr. Blonde: Yeah, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. I told 'em not to touch the alarm... but they touched it. If they hadn't done what I told 'em not to do, they'd still be alive.

    Mr. White: [clapping] My fucking hero.

    Mr. Blonde: [taking a bow] Thanks.
