Quentin Tarantino opening work!

Rating: 9/10 (26 June 2017)

A quarter of a century ago a young director and his friends came together in order to make a heist film, but he wanted to make it in an nontraditional faction.The result payed of and we know that film as Reservoir Dogs. The film though it is 25 years old still is as captivating, enjoyable and relabel as today, dispute the fact that many of it references in pop culture are now dated and forgotten.
What made me like this film is that from its opening to the end credits ,we see the preparation, recruitment and outcome of the heist, so we know the needed information about our characters from their goals to their character. However the heist itself we only learn about it from your crew and so we can picture what happen ,what went wrong and the reason why trust has been thrown out the widow.
To the references I mention that are dated, true there are but they are placed in the dialogues as a starting point for a conversation. This is what makes the dialogues real and sell the fact that these persons live in the real world ,for a decent percent of a conversation start with the phrases "Have you watched the {movie B or film A}?" or "Do you know this film/series?". It feels natural because Tarantino had already understand that people remember what they have watched in a cinema or on TV (and today on-line) and it is a good measure to see if you can talk with someone or just sat up and wait until the group calls of today.
Also the non-linear way the events are presented force the audience to picture themselves the causality of the story and so end on a conclusion by their own. That requires from the director to believe that his audience are willing to put their brains at work, which is so rear and often forgotten by many director/studios.
Over all Reservoir Dogs is great and as first features films by a director go ,it is one of the best and as the opening shot for the Quentin Taratino Cinematic Universe is has a special place to the heart of any of Tarantino's work!
