A seemingly
normal guy falls in love with a prostitute. Together they battle the mob.
My
Tarantino related quest wasn’t really finished with Jackie Brown. I had
completed everything that he directed but not everything that he has written.
See after Reservoir Dogs but before Pulp Fiction he sold this screenplay to
Tony Scott, brother of the more famous Ridley.
This is an
excellent movie, first of all because it’s really original. It goes in a lot of
unexpected directions and is such a powerful experience that it had us on the
edge of the couch wondering what would happen next all the time. A lot of
things, like a couple of random Val Kilmer Elvis apparitions are left
unexplained but I don’t complain, the main plot threads are tied nicely and
explaining the oddities would have probably made them banal.
With all
his originality at his heart this is Tarantino wet dream. The protagonist is a
film buff and comic book guy who meet a gorgeous girl and start living an hard
boiled version of his own life. I’m not saying that this is bad per se, only
pointing what this is all about.
The supporting
cast his incredible, Gary Oldman and Cristopher Walken in the same movie?
Playing two different bad guys? You don’t really need anything else to create a
must see experience.
