1994, the famous American director oliver stone put quentin tarantino's play natural born killers on the screen. The film quickly caused great controversy because of its exaggeration of violence and satire on American news media. Although it doesn't meet Quentin's original intention, natural born killers is still an excellent film. Oliver stone has greatly stimulated the audience through MTV-style shooting and editing techniques, the comprehensive application of soap operas and cartoons, and a large number of novel audio-visual languages such as alternative music. These advanced post-modern movie techniques in natural born killers have become a fashion in today's movies.
Reservoir Dog is quentin tarantino's first work, which premiered at Sundance Film Festival on 1992. From this earliest work, it is not difficult to see Quentin's unique film style. Violence, gangs, humorous dialogues, music in the 1970s and ingenious narrative structure are all Quentin's favorite themes and idiomatic techniques. Incredibly, "Reservoir Dogs" was all played by actors, and this strong male color left a deep impression on the audience.
Pulp Fiction is his masterpiece, which cannot be finished in a few words. It is suggested that the landlord focus on analysis.
Breaking Dawn is a film produced by Band Apart Company founded by Quentin in 1996. Among them, Quentin served as a screenwriter, producer, assistant director, starring and other multiple roles, and had an addiction to film generalists. Although the absurd and weird content and bloody and horrible pictures have been unanimously criticized by critics, Breaking Dawn is extremely popular among some fans. The film suddenly changed from the serious story of gang escape in the first half to a complete monster film. I believe that the audience who have seen this film will never forget this unique and bizarre experience.
In Jackie Brown, the audience saw Quentin's new attempt. This time, people's familiar bloody violence was replaced by a game that tested their intelligence. Moreover, in Jackie Brown, Quentin also made great efforts to portray a female image in the past with less pen and ink, and unexpectedly established an absolute protagonist in the film. However, judging from the audience's reaction, these attempts seem to be unsuccessful. They still like Quentin who is full of masculinity. Although Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson and Robert De Niro performed well in the film, the dull story, slow pace and repeated gimmicks all made Jackie Brown a mediocre and failed work.
In the first scene of Kill Bill. The camera is aimed at "Black Snake" (uma thurman), with black and white pictures, close-ups, bloody faces, painful groans and cold killings; The lens disappears, and Nancy's clean and slightly sad voice rings in the simple guitar strings, as if the irreversible fate is covering the top step by step.
When the song stopped and the curtain opened, the strange penetrating voice and lyrics instantly hit my defenseless nerves, as if Quentin had opened a corner of the screen and told the audience to start enjoying this fierce revenge story. The author's strong stylized imprint is once again displayed as a genius through the embedding of this song. The bloody and angry scenes in the next two hours, like this strange, sad and decadent song, the gunfire in childhood pictures, the sudden killing, death arrival and irreversible blood, make this movie one of the most violent and cruel action movies I have ever seen.
However, under Quentin's free control, everything shows the ultimate realm of violent aesthetics. As a female audience, Xiaoxi doesn't know whether such a movie will exceed the tolerance limit of most ordinary audiences. I once heard that "City of God" had to quit because the cult film showed street juvenile violence unabashedly, which made a female film critic unbearable. Although "Kill Bill" is bloody, it dispels the nightmare violence display because of the director's attitude of not commenting on violence and exquisite lens language. At the same time, Quentin's persistent deconstruction of time and the narrative demands brought by the fragment puzzle make Kill Bill one of the most memorable films in 2003, and it will undoubtedly become a film.
I hope the landlord can form his own appreciation after taking these as reference ~
