I could watch this scene for eternity and never grow old of it. What Hopper does to protect his son is not only heroic but it also is self serving as he goads Walken into killing him faster as opposed to a dragged out torture for information. Well played sir!
@Raz.C Жыл бұрын
Yes, that is indeed the point of antagonising his armed-n-dangerous captor/ tormentor. What I like about the scene is that Tarantino doesn't hold our hand and explain to us that _'this' is what Dennis Hopper is doing and here's 'why' he's doing it, too!_ It's rare for film studios these days to want to invest hundreds of millions of dollars into a movie and then have to leave some (any) aspect of the plot for the audience to understand on their own. They (correctly) assume that people are mostly fucking idiots and that the lowest-common-denominator doesn't understand what isn't spelled out for him (or her, I guess). While it's frustrating for people of average, or above average intellectual capabilities to have to sit through the kind of hand-holding that so many movies force us all to endure, the studios/ producers/ people financially invested in a film are going to *insist* that every detail MUST be explained to the audience, so that no ticket-buying-dunce gets left behind. It's just too much of a gamble for them, otherwise. They don't want to risk having a bunch of idiots attracting an ever-increasing group of idiots, complaining to one and all (and more importantly, to those who haven't bought tickets yet) that the movie doesn't make sense, or that this or that important part of the film doesn't make any sense, that no one would behave that way, etc...

The first Tarantino movie i ever saw was Reservoir Dogs 29 years ago in a cinema in Cape Town. I had heard so much about the movie but missed it's cinema release in the UK. It was banned in the UK for video release and only just been passed by the censor in South Africa for cinema release. We have to remember how attitudes were different at the time. Nelson Mandela had just become President and apartheid was over. I am white and so was my Friend. The majority of the audience that day were Black ot coloured so it added to the atmosphere and shock for us with the profuse use of the N word, spoken by white actors actually saying "Nigger" with no Censorship or disclaimer. The audience fell silent and a sense of unease was clearly obvious. My friend (female) told me after the film, who is South African and understood the subtleties of her fellow countrymen explained how the majority of the audience with the way they appeared to take it was the most volatile situation she'd ever experienced which had nothing to do with anything with the former white South African racially fucked up regime

People are discussing whether Sicilian ancestry contains Black African blood , & it's probably more likely it's from North African peoples as can be deduced from the distribution of ancient peoples in antiquity. But I think the scene has more recent resonance than this debate. When poor Italians came to America in the 19th century , they were considered "nonwhite" and found themselves in competition with Blacks & the Irish for the low end jobs available. History details the riots & animosity among the groups at the time. Remnants of the period still exist in social attitudes today. As a Black kid , it was common knowledge that trying to date an Italian girl would probably earn you an ass kicking from some Italian guy. Even today going into Bensonhurst , a tight knit Italian neighborhood here in NY is not the greatest idea for a black person. To accuse an Italian of having Black blood would be one of the worst insults you could deliver. As Hopper is trying to goad Walken into killing him quickly , that's the reason his taunts were effective , even if the historical accuracy is not quite there.

The whole monologue here isn't actually historical fact, the Moors aren't actually n-words. And the Silicians never were blonde and blue eyed. Dennis Hopper's character is basically giving the head mafioso guy a 4 minute long insult to his face in an effort to enrage, provoke and humiliate him in front of his men. Calling Silicians n-words is a major insult because it targets their deep seated insecurity, along with of course "your grandma f-ed a n-word". He does this tactically to avoid a long and painful torture he'll face at the hands of the mafia followed by a swift death, he was a cop and knew very well he wasn't making out of this situation alive either way.

in cinema is when you don’t see an actor acting you don’t see an actor delivering lines. You see that person that character they become that character……. brilliancy.

Well, it wasn't just the church, it was also the Muslim scholars along the Tigris and Euphrates that preserved a lot of it. And while religious folks preserved the older stuff, the problem was that they didn't produce nearly as much stuff of their own as the ancient Greeks and Romans did.

@@knstp04391 well you call them ,,pale“ and idk wtf a ,,blackamoor“ supposed to be but as a north african i can tell you that we were never black. The black people in north africa were slaves brought from sub-sahara to north africa. Nothern Africa is a mediterranean climate zone like southern europe, just a little hotter.. We are more related to southern europeans and middle easterners than we are to sub-saharans (just because of history and geographical proximity)Maybe you are an afrocentrist or something but indigenous north african berbers were not black idc what statue you saw. Lots of people from the afrocentric community tried to claim egyptans to be black, that shiiii*** was also debunked recently cuz they always looked middle eastern. Nothern Africa is different from sub-saharan africa!!!

The Emirate that conquered Sicily, were not black. They were Arabs and Berbers and both originated from Middle-East and had a light skin tone. You still see that North Africans today are mostly light skinned like the rest of the Middle-East and Turkey. All prone to skin cancer, seeing they arent the original inhabitants of the area. They were hardly much darker than many people already settled in the Byzantine Empire or Spain etc.

@@elibrunson6189 no he's right North Africans were and still are mostly Arabs. The moors never took away control from Byzantine in Sicily they just carried out raids but Sicily was conquered by the Normans in the 11th century since then Sicilians have been mostly from Norman blood.

The point of the insulting was to anger him enough to kill him before he spilled details on his son's location and/or to get them to kill him quicker as yes, he knew he was going to be killed anyway. A quick death, and the hope that he could protect his son.
