How to make a traditional film look good? In fact, it is a way to make a classic fast food delicious!
Use savage! Add a lot! New structure!
"Reservoir Dogs" is a super hilarious gangster-themed crime film like a specially made perverted and spicy Big Mac burger!
What we eat is:
Thickened and widened juicy and bloody beef patties -the meat jokes that filled the entire film, the foul language of FXCK and SHXT flying all over the sky, and the ridicule of American pop culture at that time. Just like a classic American burger must have a beef patty, you can't imagine punks who don't swear and brag. And what Quentin has done even more extreme is that the meaningless content of the joke and the plot are intertextualized, and what was originally just a threat or a gag, also happened to them. Among them, the jokes about whether tips should be given, and the color names highlight each person's character characteristics vividly! Xiaofan, you are a professional!
Spicy and tomato ingredients —as Quentin's debut, the advocacy of blood plasma, anatomy, and violence is concentrated in a coffin warehouse. My teacher in the film and television analysis class shared an experience before: how to make terror more terrifying and violence more violent? The word "more" is the essence, without comparison, there is no more. Therefore, adding happiness, harmony, and warmth will contrast with horror, and adding funny and laughing points will contrast with violence. Just like eating sugar and fruit will be very sour, and eating spicy and sugar will be very sweet. In a radio drama, dancing and cutting ears, loudly defending his father's authority, he fired the first shot, which is what he used. Chili with tomato.
The collage of meatloaf, tomato, lettuce, and cheese slices is a staggered structure —it’s actually an undercover story that can be told in 10 minutes, but how to organize the language and structure to tell is the narrator’s genius. First, the characters are introduced through a breakfast, and their personalities are expressed. It cuts directly to Xiaoju being shot and throws huge suspense. It focuses on the warehouse and retraces the history of each key role from a POV perspective. Finally, it gathers three shots at the warehouse. All entanglements and contradictions were resolved neatly, and a meaningful "Actually, I'm a policeman" was left at the end. Once the structure is innovated, even if a hamburger is eaten in the mouth, because the taste buds come into contact with the meat, tomato, and cheese in a different order, the taste has also undergone great changes, bringing surprises!
As a debut that is the pinnacle of debut, the success of the film and the superb acting skills of the colorful dogs are inseparable! However, Quentin can pull so many hands to play with him without knowing it. I think the capital should be that his script is hard enough.
