MYST Reservoir Dogs #3

For my formal film study I studied Quentin Tarantino and I thought that his films were very interesting and since they were rated so high on the IMDB I decided to watch another one of his films. This time I watched Reservoir Dogs which was released in 1992. This movie is about eleven years old now but I still find it very interesting. If I had to give this movie a grade I would give it a 8 stars out of 10. This was one of Quentin Tarantino's first films and this is what made him famous. What I found interesting is that he even played a part in his film even though most directors do not.

Quentin Tarantino has a very specific style that I am getting used to seeing. At first you do not notice it but as you watch more films from the same director you start to pick up things that they do more or less then other people. And of course for him the thing that he does well is blood and violence. The movie is basically the story of six guys that are going to rob a store but one of them is an undercover police officer. This guy basically gets shot right away and is bleeding all over the place the entire movie. Once they get to the safe house they are trying to find out who is the undercover guy because there was already police officers waiting for them at the store and since he was shot they do not think it is him. Mr. Blonde kidnaps a police officer and then basically tortures the guy by cutting off his ear and slicing his face many times. This is not a new thing to Quentin Tarantino because torture and blood and violence is used all the time. At the beginning of the robbery they are given fake names and that is what they are called through out the movie and the police officer is called Mr. Orange.

Mr. Orange then convinces Mr. White that he is really a "good guy" meaning that he isn't the police officer and he believes him. At the end of the movie there is a part where the boss and his son are trying to kill Mr. Orange because they know that he is not a real thief but Mr. White is stooping them from killing him and goes as far as to point his gun at his boss to defend him. Mr. White is against killing for no reason and really does not want this but in the end everyone has their guns pointed at everyone and then they all shoot as the police is running in. It ends with Mr. White holding Mr. Orange in his arms while they are both bleeding out and Mr. Orange whispers to him that he is in fact an undercover agent and the screen goes black and we hear a gun shot. This means that Mr. White shot Mr. Orange and basically screwed everyone over. I found that last part of the movie very interesting and well done. Another thing that I thought was very interesting after reading about this movie is that Mr. Blonde is actually Vincent's brother from the movie Pulp Fiction which is another one of Quentin Tarantino's movies that I watched.
