I saw this movie and I fallen in love of her then

[@blakeandcamp]

One of the best title sequences in the history of film. The way the title card pops up right when the chorus kicks in gives me chills every time. Then the way the film is bookended by Across 110th Street playing at the end when Jackie drives away and even sings it to herself is so perfect.

[@MrBingo37]

same me!

[@Kenoji8]

The music in this film plays a very integral role as almost a background character of many scenes. Tarantino utilized the music here as a dynamic way to address scenes. I am ALWAYS floored by when Tarantino introduces Ordell (Sam Jackson's character) as a killer when he frequently plays music in his car before he goes to do his business, starting with the Brothers Johnson "Strawberry Letter 23." It is SO CHILLING.

[@darknutgaming5510]

I saw this movie opening weekend with my GF and walking out we bought two more tickets and immediately viewed it again.

[@Red_____]

sounds like a great memory

[@LeFouGallois]

Back when 'Jackie Brown' was released, I went to see it in the cinema with a couple of friends I (as a queer, 20 something white, Welsh guy) watched this opening scene. When I saw Pam Grier gliding along on the traveletor to 'Across 110th Street', so poised, so elegant, so kick-ass, yet so relatable. I was transfixed, it is almost like I felt like I wanted to BE her. From start to finish, watching this film, she was the epitome of a strong female. I remember coming out of the cinema and literally walking down the street (with that track in my head) in time to the music, holding my head high. She became a MAJOR inspiration to me from that moment.

[@Rezastube77]

Definitely underrated Tarantino movie

Even as a massive Tarantino fan I have to say I now understand everyone who says this is his best film.

[@PushkaCom]

Yeah - I haven't seen once-upon-time-hollywood, but I was looking up a list of his films and don't remember ever hearing about this one, it's so good, and the soundtrack is amazing I feel maybe since it came out before Pulp Fiction it gets overlooked since pulp fiction is so famous and iconic, 1992 res dogs, 94 pulp fiction, 97 jackie brown, 2003 kill bill

[@tytoknalez]

For me the best movie of tarantino....

[@ianreynolds9733]

Pam Grier was absolutely perfect for her role in this. She is the (for me) the epitome of what a woman should be. A masterpiece.

[@thatguy20861]

Pam Grier (and Tarantino) did a hell of a lot more in this movie than most people do today who eventually win Oscars. It is a great shame this was not recognized other than the wonderful Forester performance. It's such a great, involved film that you actually have to pay attention to to appreciate. It's hard to have anyone watch an entire movie nowadays...speaking as a film professor...students by and large do not want to watch and learn. It's incredibly sad

[@MiketheratguyMultimedia]

I'm still gobsmacked that few people seem to have seen Jackie Brown and fewer still like it. When it first came out I considered it to be a titan equal to Pulp Fiction and, quite frankly, I've always liked it better. Everything in this film is fantastic and I have no idea how - a quarter century later - it hasn't yet been popularly reappraised as the absolute masterpiece that it is.

[@benjamingann2675]

This intro is a masterpiece in itself. No comparison to The Graduate (great film though). Celebrating Pam Grier, elegant foreshadowing (confidence, struggle, victory), perfect music. The dynamic curve (the approach is not that easy after all), when the camera is behind Jackie. A hint of stress in the colleague's face. Then Jackie's back: relief, sovereignty regained. Brilliant.

[@elizabethgeoghegan5167]

Marvelous intro. It’s an entire vibe.

[@checkoutmyyoutubepage]

I love the splash of colors that hit the screen when the climax of the song hits.

[@LoveFactoryParties]

nicely put man! yeah good lord this opening is fantastic

[@sleuthentertainment5872]

The actress appears, she is standing there, led by a conveyor belt, but her inner fire shakes and burns the screen, and what Bobby Womack sings, in his own way, tells the past of the character and also the actress ("Doing whatever I had to do to survive, I'm not saying what I did was alright, tryna break out of the ghetto was a day to day fight") and figures out future events ("Hey brother, there's a better way out, snorting that coke, shooting that dope, man, you're copping out! Take my advice, it's either live or die, you've got to be strong if you wanna survive..."). We literally go "across 110th Street" from the heart and soul of Grier/Brown. We are inside it, because this is her story and no one else's.

[@martincorrado600]

What on Earth was Max thinking, turning down Pam Grier and a bag full of cash Madrid bound. Great film, great acting, great music.

[@peekaboots01]

He knew she was just trying to be nice for all his help and probably didn't really want it.

[@gabethegeek593]

In the final shot of the film in the background you can see Max’s car which changes the entire ending imo

[@Robindalmiras]

Ikr?!

[@earthien]

He's a good guy. You can't blame him for having scruples.

[@ACinemafanatic]

@@peekaboots01 he has a business and he loves her enough to let her go and she loves him due to his honesty that’s why when she drives away she seems happy but is sad and alone and had to leave a man who was honest and loved her for who she was

[@MiketheratguyMultimedia]

This is such an amazing opening. The subtle power of Jackie's personality when the music picks up and the shot goes wide to show her strutting past the magazine stores, that awesome lucky sudden reveal of the plane traveling parallel to her outside the window. It's been 25 years, this movie is overdue for proper recognition.

[@AmulyaBhattarai]

It's a great visual homage to "The Graduate" that also works on a thematic level for the film itself. Just like Benjamin, Jackie's aimless though she's in an even worse spot given she doesn't have as much of her life still ahead of her and isn't part of affluent social circles like Benjamin. Jackie is working a dead-end job paying $16k a year with shit retirement benefits on a fast track to nowhere, trafficking money for an arms dealer who would shoot her dead on the first hint of trouble. Throw in another layer with the incredibly vivid Womack track and you have, in my opinion, one of the greatest openings in cinematic history.

[@checkoutmyyoutubepage]

3:25 I love how the splash of color hits the screen with the climax of the song.

[@sebasdebordeaux8347]

good summary ! but I would say the song is at least 70% the cause of this scene's genius quality.. song is SO great I think it would improve any scene..

[@neiko9251]

This intro is cold. One of the best. Very Grand Theft Auto like.

[@comebackguy8892]

Yes, it's because he took it from a famous movie.

[@Rafael26926]

Yeah, tarantino stole it, so you should see the original : the graduate

[@alexf9381]

@@Rafael26926 What you'd call stole, others will call pay tribute/homage. It all depends on whether you're a fan or hater of Tarantino. Dr Dre for example is known as one of the best beat makers and hip hop song creators. Yet if you break down his tracks, its almost always samples and sections taken from other peoples music from decades ago that he revamped.

[@neiko9251]

Yeah he stole it, and he did it better.

[@blakeandcamp]

@@Rafael26926 Hilarious that people like you don't know what a homage is. He didn't "steal" anything. All your favorite artists have stolen shit too if you consider homages stealing.

Tarantino has never been the same after Sally Menke passed away. She was 50% of those movies, the one who polished them with flawless style and pace, putting Quentin's self indulgence on check.

[@fanda6122]

tarantino does this with many walking musical scenes he tells the actors to "feel the beat" in their minds but not to walk to a beat. its the subtle body movements paired with the music but just slightly off that makes it so natural.
