Such similar words have been said to be rotten by countless people since his "Reservoir Dogs" came out. Quentin is indeed different from many directors, especially those big Hollywood directors, who can have countless funds on hand to turn around their films. A movie like Reservoir Dogs, which doesn't cost a fortune at all, wins with brilliant, witty, poignant dialogue and a near-real plot.
Quentin knows what kind of dialogue can keep viewers unwittingly drawn in, as if joining the conversation. The content is nothing more than robbing a wine shop, the origin of songs like "Like a Virgin", and what kind of erotic incident happened with a strong man... Such boring topics. There are no pretentious and hidden remarks, but it is to arouse people's "little people" mentality, and they want to talk freely with those seemingly sanctimonious guys.
Quentin is a ruffian, the difference is that this ruffian has a lot of ink in his stomach, so a cultured ruffian is very scary, especially when this kind of power bursts out in the movie.
After experiencing the glory of "Pulp Fiction" and the criticism of "Kill Bill 2", the ruffian Kun was silent for a long time. Then he started shooting his favorite subjects. Gore, violence, sex, and then soften them into a spooky painting.
The first time I watched it, a familiar feeling came back. Like Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, the people in the movie still like to chat and talk, and mostly at the dinner table. The dining table is like a symbol. At this time, people will let go and talk. Once their minds are relaxed, they dare to do anything.
We don't need to torment ourselves to analyze why he did this, the old man who killed by speeding cars. In short, he is a pervert. His perversion is but a necessary condition for the subsequent plot of the film. Moreover, the uncle is just a supporting role, the real protagonist is those women, no matter what their ending is.
From "jackie brown" to Kill Bill, ruffian Kun's films began to use women as the dominant force in the film. The same is true for this "Death Proof". At the beginning of the film, there is always a pair of women's feet. The camera follows her, and then other women appear (there is also a woman covering her lower body, anxious), this is the first paragraph of three women. The conversation in the car was nothing more than how the man was. I care a lot about what a man thinks of him and whether he is welcome or not. When I came to the bar, what I cared about was whether I stood out in the crowd. The woman whose face was scraped off by the car later danced in the bar because of the perverted uncle's sentence: "Why are you sad why no man approached you tonight", proving her victory in charm.
Often such a woman is vulnerable. The lonely woman felt that it was a good thing for someone to send her back, so she was sent directly to the West. And the three women who were in the car and talking in the bar couldn't avoid being dismembered by the speeding car.
The woman in the first paragraph is arrogant on the outside, but not independent on the inside, all she does is hope that a man can be attached to. In their world, men dominate, so they get tragic results.
Violence is just a means, gore is just an effect, rendering his subject.
The women in the second paragraph are very individual and independent. In the same car, the theme is the same. The difference is that instead of being devastated by leaving a man, they will have fun together in the car. They have their own hobbies (driving cars), they don't go to bars to hunt for sex, they are not excited to see a handsome guy, on the contrary they are excited to find a good car somewhere. Their world is relatively full, and men are just part of it and won't have much influence. They don't depend on them.
The uncle still stared at them, thinking that he would smash their cars and smash their beautiful bodies into blood to get the pleasure of orgasm just like the first time. He didn't expect to meet a speeder, so he failed and was beaten by the sea.
Just like love in this era, it is like a scale. People have a bargaining chip in their hearts. Two people may change positions between the roles of uncles and those of women at any time. Once out of balance, like the women in the first paragraph, no one will be recognized by being hit by a car.
Just some personal thoughts, lol
