  1. A brutal movie, brutal in all the right ways -- brutally stark, brutally funny, brutally brutal. [30 Oct 1992]
  2. 100
    Grabs you by the throat and digs its claws in deep. From the moment that the unwitting viewer tumbles into the realm of Lawrence Tierney's gang of eight, they are hopelessly trapped there until the final credits roll.
  3. I must report that Reservoir Dogs has little of intelligence to say - except for a few implicit comments on the nature of loyalty and betrayal - and that it's violent to the ponit of sadism. [5 Oct 1992]

    Sorry for the translation. The year was 1992 - In the cinematic landscape is a new director and a new movie. The director named Quentin Tarantino, the film Reservoir Dogs. Synopsis: Robbery, fleeing in a warehouse, debates, quarrels, emotional consequences, death stars. (Except one, perhaps). Who is Quentin Tarantino: A brilliant storyteller. (S.m. skillful storyteller) About Reservoir Dogs: A film against intellectual arrogance. When you're seriously pissed use the tools that are familiar to make you feel better. What are the symptoms (nervousness): A brilliant storyteller and surprises you when he talks about topics such as handling, race, music, religion, violence. So his characters before the cameras never lose vitality even in extreme situations. Everything is structured around the conversations that are always stimulating. Tarantino shakes you from stupor. As you can: through the camera, leaving no escape. You're down there shooting, anyway. What is comparable to the work of Tarantino: The most famous artist Mamontow toy. The Russian dolls. In that sense: The Russian doll is a collection of dolls, Russian wood of different sizes, nicely colored. Each piece can be inserted into another and is divided into two parts. The pieces in them are not full, but empty. Only the latter, the smallest, which is called "seed" is full. The largest piece is called "mother". The Russian doll, the figure represents a peasant mother and generous as it may be the land. The creative mind of Tarantino is generous as it is a Russian doll. Got a message for Mr. Tarantino? Yes, welcome in Italy. Venice is beautiful. A partnership with Carlo Verdone would an Oscar in Italy. An example of imaginative narration (narration). Ok. Un giorno, un non vedente era seduto sul gradino di un marciapiede con un cappello ai suoi piedi e un pezzo di cartone con su scritto: «Sono cieco, aiutatemi per favore!» "One day a blind man was sitting on the slope of a sidewalk with a cap at his feet and a piece of cardboard with this written on it: “I am blind. Help me please.” Un pubblicitario che passava di lì si fermò e notò che vi erano solo alcuni centesimi nel cappello. "An advertising professional who was passing by stopped and noted that there were only a few cents in the hat." Si chinò e versò della moneta, poi, senza chiedere il permesso al cieco, prese il cartone, lo girò e vi scrisse sopra un'altra frase. "He bent and put in some money, then without asking the blind man’s permission took the cardboard, turned it, and wrote another phrase." Al pomeriggio, il pubblicitario ripassò dal cieco e notò che il suo cappello era pieno di monete e di banconote. "In the afternoon, the ad man passed by the blind man again and noted that his cap was full of coins and paper money." Il non vedente riconobbe il passo dell'uomo e gli domandò se era stato lui che aveva scritto sul suo pezzo di cartone e soprattutto che cosa vi avesse annotato. "The blind man recognized the step of the man and asked him if he was the one who had written on the piece of cardboard and, above all, what he had written." Il pubblicitario rispose: Nulla che non sia vero, ho solamente riscritto la tua frase in un altro modo. "The ad man replied: Nothing that isn’t true. I simply rewrote your phrase in another way." Sorrise e se ne andò. Il non vedente non seppe mai che sul suo pezzo di cartone vi era scritto: «Oggi è primavera e io non posso vederla». "He smiled and left. The blind man never knew that on the piece of cardboard was written: “Today is spring, and I can not see it.”" Morale: Cambia la tua strategia quando le cose non vanno molto bene e vedrai che poi andrà meglio. "Moral: Change your strategy when things aren’t going very well, and you will see that they then will go better." Good Ciak! Expand

  2. Man, I really liked Quentin Tarantino before he became a retard, directing movies like "Kill Bill". His Sundance movie "Reservoir Dogs" was a great example why; it had everything a crime thriller doesn't need, from great, unexpected directions to a solid cast (mainly Harvey Keitel doing the job). It was a controversial blast that had powerful, appealing force, and that's why I admired it. Expand
