first time watching *RESERVOIR DOGS* movie reaction

[@Eloi-rp3dc]

You shoildn't miss out on 'True Romance', which is written by Q. Tarantino. He sold the script to finance the filming of 'Reservoir Dogs'. True Romance is unmistakably a Tarantino movie as well....

[@nucl3arboNg]

Also Natural Born Killers he wrote also

[@user-cs4fg1rm5k]

And Killing Zoe is also similar for a reason

[@SilentBob731]

Four Rooms and From Dusk Till Dawn as well.

[@LordVolkov]

The twist is foreshadowed in the opening scene. Orange snitches on Pink for not tipping🤫

[@LockeDemosthenes2]

@@LordVolkov Something I just thought of, oranges are often symbolic of impending doom or death in movies (especially in The Godfather series), I wonder if the snitch being named Mr. Orange was a reference to this.

[@LordVolkov]

@LockeDemosthenes2 I like that idea! QT being a film nerd fits with that really well.

[@dakotaturpin8816]

The awesome thing about Tarantino is that he takes the best parts of plot-driven film and character-driven film and combines them. He creates these fascinating multi-faceted morally gray characters that you could make a great movie with if you just stuck them all in a room together, and also uses these intricate, complicated, almost absurd narratives (when you get to Pulp Fiction you'll see what I mean.) The result is a movie where there isn't a second that's wasted. Also he always casts really well. The character work in this one is amazing, and it only gets better from here.

[@story_fool]

I love that you're watching Tarantino's movies in order. I saw Pulp Fiction in the Theater when I was 16. After that someone I worked with told me about Reservoir Dogs, so after watching those two, I was a fan. My favorite director.

[@sca88]

My favorite Tim Roth films are 'Four Rooms' a dark comedy and 'Rob Roy' a time period action/drama. Tim plays a disgusting antagonistic very well in Rob Roy.

[@white.lodge.dale.cooper]

Tarantino makes films about bad people. Interesting, but bad, people. Bad people often say horrible things. Racist things. Misogynistic things. Just plain terrible things. It's OK to enjoy the film and the characters while despising their language and their behavior. I don't enjoy that stuff either and we're not supposed to. Like the scene with all the guys chatting in the car; it's fun, it's funny. You start to enjoy the company of these guys. But then, they start peppering their dialogue with some truly awful words and it's jarring and upsetting, at least to me. I think Tarantino does that on purpose; to remind you that they are bad guys, they are not your friends, and none of this is gonna end well.

[@LockeDemosthenes2]

I completely agree. My favorite movie ever is Goodfellas, and the same could be said about that.

[@white.lodge.dale.cooper]

@@LockeDemosthenes2 Right? Goodfellas is an incredible, beautiful film chock full of truly terrible people. The scene when the truck driver storms back into the diner upset that his rig was stolen always bums me out. But having been a little kid growing up in one of the most racist neighborhoods in Chicago in the 70s, I can confirm; so many people just walked around talking that way, all day. (I still live there but it's sooo much better now.)

[@bucklberryreturns]

For me, when people use challenging language, it's better to try and understand why they say such things (social and economic status, class, upbringing, friendship group, ignorance, being edgy, pushing buttons...), rather than jump straight to "really horrible person". Watching a grown black man cry at the end of American History X is a testament to their character.

[@frankmartin3600]

Scary words! Grow up, little sheep.🐑🤡

[@Joseph-f9m7s]

This movie is so badass. Used to be one of my favorites back in the day when I was your age. Watched it all the time.

[@solvingpolitics3172]

Really. I thought the violence was so over the top.

[@LockeDemosthenes2]

Same. I had Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction (along with Fight Club, Goodfellas, and Casino) saved to my computer when I was in high school and college, and I would watch all of them over and over again.

[@LockeDemosthenes2]

This was and always will be his best film in my opinion.

[@estebanherrera3548]

Be sure to add Four Rooms to the list it’s often overlooked by reactors…

[@nucl3arboNg]

Natural Born Killers was written by Quentin, and a cult classic

[@Someinsanegenuis]

Great starting with his first film, instead of just watching Inglourious Basterds like most reactors.

[@Nah_Mate_Aint_Nowt]

It's refreshing to see someone give a type of film a chance, a type they usually don't watch, admit it wasn't for them and not immediately call it bad. For me with Tarantino (as a person I cant stand him but as a director there a few better working currently today)it's not the violence that makes his films but his strength is in dialogue, getting a performance and framing a scene. To be honest the violent angle is way more in his later films than his earlier ones. Almost like he went oh you think this is violent? (main criticism he got a lot) I'll show you violent. You have to admit though he knows how to grab your attention and create tension with very little. You looked pretty engrossed watching. I think you'll find if you carry on and keep an open mind you'll find a lot to like and appreciate about his films and craft. Keep up the good work

[@KT-iy9vc]

QT's style: the way you tell the story is more important than the story. Keep that in mind when you watch Pulp Fiction.

[@left4deadfreak]

It's funny you mention how this almost seems like a play, another Tarantino film, "The Hateful Eight" is very similar and Quentin even talked about possibly doing a play instead of a movie nextlol

[@alextan1478]

The "Stuck in the Middle with You" scene is my favorite part of the movie because of it being referenced in The Simpsons.

[@lordjosh9000]

You are in for a treat, and a shock. This is his least violent movie. Also, you should add From Dusk Till Dawn to your list as it has Tarantino in it and it still kind of has his feel to it.

[@Oliversarmy1085]

I am so beyond ready for this QT journey!

[@zmarko]

You're in for a great ride! And thank you for going in release order. ❤

[@lawrencefine5020]

Love this movie. QT always gives you your money's worth with great funny dialogue, lotsa violence, tense situations, and lotsa blood. And great acting too. QT is a student of cinema Great first movie. Subbed. Pulp Fiction is next. That's one you'll remember.

[@KansaSCaymanS]

You’re right, all the scenes in the warehouse (did you notice they were storing coffins?) felt very much like a play. As disturbing as the violence and language may be in his films, part of the genius of Tarantino is the seemingly mundane dialogue that really brings you into the characters’ world. Looking forward to your reaction to Pulp Fiction, which is my favorite QT film. 😎👍

[@gravedigger8414]

Oh my god. This will be soooo good. Quentin Tarantino is one of the greatest of all time. So cool that you will watch all his movies. They range from great to masterpiece. 😇

[@ZoeDuneCorp]

Yes, you'll need to check out that and Natural Born Killers which was also written by Quentin.

[@_Tim115]

When you get to Pulp Fiction see if you can spot the link to this movie between two of the characters. You should also do True Romance as Mr White references a girl called Alabama in this movie and, True Romance had also has link to Inglourious Basterds between two of the characters.

[@BouillaBased]

No one ever seems to notice the hearse or the coffins. Also, will you include some of the films he wrote but didn't direct, like True Romance and Natural Born Killers?

[@marsfalcon9250]

"So much senseless violence." Well said. This could have been the name of Tarantino's production company, but he opted to label it 'A Band Apart' in deference to a French film that inspired him in his younger day. Enjoyed your reaction ma'am.

[@emproficecream]

I'm pretty sure Mr. Pink either got away or was arrested outside. I'm not sure if the sounds of shouting are him getting arrested or if he actually runs away with the diamonds and the shouting is just the cops getting ready to breach the building. There are no gunshots though, so Mr. Pink doesn't die and he had the diamonds. I like to imagine he got away just in the nick of time, thought I think he got busted outside and was taken alive (hents all the yelling outside before they breach). EDIT: BTW Mr. White aka Larry 100% shoots Mr. Orange in the head and then the cops shoot him. Everyone except Mr. Pink dies

[@SilentBob731]

You can actually hear some gunfire outside after Pink leaves, but it's always been up in the air whether of not he survived (I hope he did though).

[@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra]

22:13 Fantastic Four is a Comic Book (Yes. There are (also) some movies- and Marvel finally got some kind of/degree of rights back from Sony (I think) so they will (finally!) be debuting in the MCU -in a bit). ...but HERE: they are referring to the Comic Book and the original characters in said Comic Books. (They are pretty Legendary, actually). The F.F. are "the first family of Marvel Comics" and were the first modern comic book Marvel published. It is often quoted as "the Beginning Of the Silver Age" (of Comic Books) [although, "historically," The (so-called) Silver Age began in 1956, already.🤷). Published in the late Fall of 1961, it established the beginning of their [Marvel's] reign in the 1960s,1970s and 1980s (and beyond); as well as a new era of Comic Book art and characters and a new style which would break new boundaries and established the template for the next 30 years, or so [In very large measure, due to the artwork and layouts of Jack Kirby ....]. ...and anyone circa the age of these characters in this movie would have grown-up reading them, or AROUND people who had read them (and were aware of them). The Thing is a primary character in the book. He is the alter-ego of, one: Ben Grimm and he is a large Brooklyn dockworker/construction worker, with a full, classic, Brooklyn accent. In the Comic, he transforms into a massive creature made of living stone. He is "the strongman" of the 4 person team (and looks somewhat monstrous & is hulking --- something which is/results in psychological and emotional issues, over the decades, for Ben Grimm; as well).

[@steved1135]

Nice. Peak Tarantino here for me. It's like a play, fraught with tension, and full of great dialogue. Though for me, my favourite Tarantino flick is True Romance... which came out before this. Admittedly, most people don't include it, but it's definitely a Tarantino flick. Very glad you're doing Tarantino movies, though for me, as he goes on he just gets worse and worse, leaving behind his best qualities, dialogue and nuance, and increasing graphic violence. I suspect that's more due to 'hollywoodism' than anything else.

[@fostena]

Reservoir Dogs is heavily influenced by the Hong Kong movie "City on Fire" (1987), with the most notable difference of being told in a non-linear way.

[@williameleno]

A bigger influence is "A Dogs Day Afternoon", the theme, the clothes, the one location for most of the film and the ride of action and comedy.

[@argantyr5154]

The reason it looks a bit like a play is because its Tarantinos debut, and therefore a low budget movie. But if you look up the Actors you'll notice most of them quite well known actors. Another thing Tarantino is famous for are the dialogues.

[@magicbrownie1357]

The opening diner scene is what screams QT. Dialogue, dialogue, dialogue. QT's adept hand at writing dialogue, intermixing pop culture, the mundane, and hints of the plot and the building of characters is his most distinctive calling card in my book. Anyone can do violence. But they can't do it with QT dialogue.

[@user-cs4fg1rm5k]

They're quite well known now. At the time only Lawrence Tierney and Harvey Keitel were known, the latter being critically known as the best working actor of the time. Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Michael Madsen, and Chris Penn were making names for their selves.

[@MrGpschmidt]

Superb filmmaking debut by QT - hate to break it to you but the language is indeed authentic amongst criminals (and scumbags; get used to it ;d) Keitel helped get the film made by producing and standing by Tarantino thru out. The fact you don't see the ear sliced off makes the violence even more graphic & palpable (the camera panning away allows the viewer to 'see' the action regardless). PULP FICTION is his magnum opus; looking forward to your watch (and yes get into Kubrick & Hitchcock).

QT vs Kubrick. Interesting. While both directors are stylistic geniuses, I would've voted for Kubrick first, but only because he has a more diverse filmography. QT's stuff is not predictable, but it does tend to stay in the crime/violence genre. Kubrick covers the entire spectrum.

[@kj01a]

But I'm here for your Tarantino journey. :) EDIT: at the time this movie was released there wasn't a Fantastic Four movie, but they were one of the most popular characters of Marvel Comics, so the reference would be understood.

[@Filboid2000]

Although it is nothing I can prove, I think Tarantino was a failed actor who turned to writing and directing movies simply so he could throw himself some bit parts - and does a terrible job acting with even those. Be advised that most (if not all) of his movies are bloodbaths. In fact, he wrote the movies "From Dusk Till Dawn" (1996) and "Natural Born Killers" (1994); NBK raised a lot of hackles regarding the glorification of serial killers - watch at your own risk. 👍👍👍

You can't prove it because it's patently false. Tarantino was writing and researching filmmaking in high school.

Not surprised the kids on KZbin picked Tarantino over Kubrick. He's got a smaller filmography and he's a contemporary. Don't get me wrong, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown are great movies and I can't wait for you to watch them. But you'll be missing out on some masterpieces like The Killing, Paths of Glory, Spartacus and Barry Lyndon (besides his more popular masterpieces). Of course you probably won't be able to react to A Clockwork Orange on KZbin.

A bit controversial here, but I'm glad you went with the guy who makes relatable films. Kubrick is weird. Never got the hype.

[@PicoFzero]

Ah yes, the guy who thinks ‘relatable’ is the gold standard of cinema. I’m sure you also prefer fast food over fine dining because it’s more ‘approachable.’ Kubrick didn’t make movies to spoon-feed the audience; he made films that shaped entire genres and changed the language of cinema. Meanwhile, Tarantino (who I love, by the way) openly worships Kubrick and other greats who paved the way for his style. Saying you ‘never got the hype’ about Kubrick isn’t the hot take you think it is-it’s just announcing that you don’t understand film on a meaningful level.

[@christopherschreiber5805]

@@PicoFzero I prefer Tarantino because he obviously has an unnatural understanding of visual storytelling (which is what makes him unique, and what makes his films not only popular but empirically great). Because he never made me sit through a tracking shot that went on for half the movie. Because when his characters are hammy it comes off as intentional. Because he has, from what I can tell, so much as the slightest concern for connecting with his audience. Because he has so much as the slightest comprehension of pacing or organic plot development (Dr. Strangelove notwithstanding). I can deal with it when Tarantino "goes Kubrick" because he's earned my time (not that he couldn't do better with that). So let me guess. Yet another fan of this "genius" who can't even begin to tell me what you like about him other than regurgitated sound bytes. What a shock.
