Quentin Tarrantino

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2005)

"Resevoir Dogs" put Tarrantino's name out in the public and he raised a lot of eyebrows in 1992 or whenever it came out. "Pulp Fiction" came out two years later and silenced any who doubted Tarrantino's genius. Sure there were those critics who were jealous of his success, and others who simply didn't understand why the movie was such a smash. I remember seeing it when it first came out when I was in the 8th grade. From then to the present, I've seen the movie at ten times. I am not exaggerating when I say that this is the best movie ever made. I'm not exaggerating when I say that every moment is crystal clear perfection. John Travolta and Samuel JAckson couldn't have -and never again will- have a better performances as the two gangsters who are part of some fictional multi raced gang in L.A. Bruce Willis is the boxer who's out to make money, but still maintains belief in some things like honour and posterity. Whereas other great gangster movies like "Goodfellas" or "Scarface" show you how these gangsters live and the struggles they go through, Tarrantino is able to show all that while going much deeper into the psyche of gangsters. As in the case of Travolta's character they can be sharp,dry witted, and stupid at the same time. HAnd there are several other great characters along the way. The time line of the movie is arranged in a circle where it ends in the same place it began. This works very well because Tarrantino clearly chose his scenes very carefully according to that time line idea. There is nothing that I can say to do justice to this movie. If you haven't seen it then you must because it may end up changing what you think about cinema forever.
