Great Movie

Rating: Null/10 (1 August 2000)

If you have read any of my other comments, I usually olny comment on the movies I hate. That is because they trigger emotional responses from me, in most cases, dissapointment and hate. But here, I am writing this review because I felt awe after seeing this movie. I absolutely love this film. The dialogue is hilarious and it provides great insight into the lives of those involved in organized crime. Fiction or not, it still is pretty realistic. There are several great things about this movie. 1) Characters. The characters portrayed by.....everyone in this movie are great. These characters have depth, humor, and are colorful. 2) Story. This is not a movie for people who only half pay attention. A lot of laughs are caused during this movie because you think, "So that's why that happened." People complain that this movie has no plot. If you can't find a plot, look harder. It is basically about the lives of 4 people over a course of 2-3 days. Even though it is so simple, the situations these people go through in these days are comical and interesting. 3) Direction. Tarantino is just plain great. The camera angles and sets are colorful and cool. The moods are dark and, well, moody and the music is incredibly well matched to the scenes and locations. Good job, amigo. This may not be a movie for everyone. But if you like movies like "The Usual Suspects" and "Four Rooms," don't pass this one up. Final Thought: Great, one of my top 10.
