It's such brilliant structure

Rating: Null/10 (7 June 2001)

Here is an example of what makes Quentin Tarantino so great:
Mr. Orange is telling his "story" at one point in the movie. Follow the progression of settings while he talks.
The story begins at the location where the script is delivered. Eventually the scene segues to the restaurant. The cast of characters being told the tale changes back and forth, sometimes in very unexpected ways, but the narrative itself always moves in one direction.
Finally the story climaxes with the brilliant track shot showing him telling all this right to the cops in the bathroom directly-just him and the cops, the camera circling...
The ability of Tarantino to create a structure that allowed the story to move from scene to scene while still maintaining it's continuity, combined with the incredible tension and feeling of suspense you experience at that last, climactic moment, well, it's like Louis Armstrong said: "If you have to ask why, you just don't get it."
