Best Movie Ever Made

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2006)

Jackie Brown directed by Quentin Tarantino has intrigued and inspired me from the first time I saw it. I have probably seen the movie twenty times or more.
One of the characteristics of the movie is that it is both realistic and unrealistic. It is hard to believe that the story of Jackie Brown is real because the chain of events is too unlikely. In addition, there are too many coincidences. The chance of types of characters portrayed in the movie coming together is unlikely. For example, Ordell Robbie is a criminal who will do anything to save himself and protect his money, including murder. Melanie is a druggie who has no apparent way of supporting herself other than living off of Ordell. However, she seems way too intelligent and too attractive to have to resort to that.
Jackie Brown could be a true story because of the sense of realism. The individual actions are not too incredible. The characters have flaws that make them seem human and they are not stereotypes. The dialog of the characters in Jackie Brown are down-to-earth.
Jackie Brown is an amusing and entertaining movie. Jackie Brown has a lot of violent action, but it is not too graphic. In addition, it is enjoyable because it is unpredictable. The movie does not follow strict chronological order. Additionally the movie is entertaining because of the different points of view of the same scenes.
The reason why Jackie Brown has intrigued me is that the movie allows you to put yourself in a character's place and makes you think about how you would react to extreme situations. Even though the police have never arrested me, seeing Jackie get arrested gives me a sense of how it would feel to be in prison. Before Max Cherry met Jackie, he was lonely and had nothing to do but work. He had a stressful job dealing with criminals. He trusted a criminal, but she was doing what she had to do to survive so she was not really a criminal and he saw that, so he wanted to help her. He was a good and decent man.
