Why reservoir dogs is good

At this point, Tarantino is an experienced filmmaker doing what he does best. As a director, Tarantino has very few if any duds in his filmography.

Each entry to his oeuvre speaks to his unique tastes and sensibilities, and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is arguably his most ambitious exercise in the love of the medium. There's no denying that Tarantino loves making movies, and each film he makes pushes his creative boundaries further.

Since Reservoir Dogs ' release, the film has ascended to the level of being culturally iconic. White and Mr. Pink, and Mr. Blonde's unforgettable torture scene are instantly recognizable even among casual fans. Thanks, Mr. Tarantino's techniques have always shown off that he is a movie fan, but Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is the first of his works to directly confront the iconography of the films that inspire him.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood features countless direct references to the era of filmmaking that Tarantino borrows from, including Bruce Lee , Sharon Tate, the export of American actors for spaghetti westerns, and many more.

While it's still unclear how Hollywood will stand the test of time, it is full to the brim with classic characters and imagery. The heist movie is one that has been done countless times. Everyone is familiar with the tropes: a team of criminals, each with their own individual specialty, double-crosses, shoot outs, a massive score, you name it. Generally, filmmakers are able to innovate within the heist genre as well as Tarantino did with Reservoir Dogs.

Reservoir Dogs is a heist movie that never shows the heist. Viewers see the lead-up, the aftermath and even the later double-cross, but they must fill in the events of the heist itself with their imagination. This is a brilliant concept for a tired genre.

Best of the Tarantino films! Forgot to add,the torture scene was awesome. Teen, 14 years old Written by bo17 November 9, The language is worse than the violence Although this film is both violent and profane, the violence isn't as frequent as the constant strong profanity, in fact this is one of Tarantino's more mild movies.

Tons of blood. This title contains: Language. Helped me decide. Had useful details. Read my mind. Teen, 14 years old Written by Toby August 30, A great and entertaining watch This film is truly a great film and really shows Tarantinos talent as a director, very violent themes but effects are outdated so it's not realistic.

The maturity comes in the themes and the torture scene, not because of it being realistic. Teen, 17 years old Written by Kthompson August 23, Teen, 16 years old Written by Therealdirtydan August 15, Sharp, polished "heist film" is Tarantino's best This title contains: Positive role models.

Teen, 13 years old Written by Leonvol January 25, Tim Roth's character, a deep-cover detective who infiltrates a gang only to have figurative and literal blood on his hands the woman he shoots is in fact Tim Roth's dialect coach, Suzanne Celeste , adds the film's most important wrinkle.

Orange's relationship with White provides the film's humanity; Orange acts as the audience surrogate, reminding us that for all their stylish suits and witty wisecracks, these are still Bad Dogs. The bungled jewel robbery at the centre of the film is never seen on screen, save for a few glimpses of the police chases that followed.

This was initially due to the film's tiny million-dollar budget — but it works for the story, too. Restricting most of the action to the warehouse gives the movie a lean, spare feel, lets the action detonate in the dialogue, and sharpens the focus. Just as Jaws was "not about the shark", so Reservoir Dogs is not about the heist. Inevitably, the tension that bubbles throughout the film finally boils over — and though we're in a sweaty LA warehouse, we could just as easily be in the Mojave Desert.

The film's classic Western showdown ends things on a thrilling, suspenseful note, while the mystery of Nice Guy Eddie's death went on to inspire t-shirts with the slogan 'Who Shot Nice Guy Eddie? As actor Chris Penn explained to Empire in the late '90s, Mr.

White was supposed to shoot Joe and then Nice Guy Eddie — but Penn's blood squib went off too soon for Harvey Keitel to fire at him too. Reservoir Dogs was not a giant success upon release. Box-office returns were disappointing.
