This is a film that keeps the camera down and tracks the little people. It is about trivial things in the market. It may be a little exciting, but in mainstream movies, you would never write such a simple story in such a long length, and put BRUCE WILLIS like this. Isn’t this a waste of the red star of the sky? But Tarantino has his own idea, he wants to use this movie to explain a "cool" word. The word is written like this, the story is flat and bloody violence is reached, don’t you want to stimulate to see blood, let’s see it for real; the changes in the plot are not foreseeable by us who are accustomed to seeing mainstream culture, because it is like Just like in real life, too many factors affect the running of the story; everyone has one, and they have to stick to their own character—in fact, it’s really hard to say who the protagonist is. Maybe it’s just that Travolta has appeared for a long time and was appointed as the protagonist — so many The different personalities are driving the story, not the plot; the sequence of narration: everyone will agree that the achievement of vulgar fiction is largely determined by this, and it also affects the structure of other films in the future. This is Several independent stories, of course, have a sequence, but they have been disrupted and re-arranged. Before the end, we all feel that TARANTINO is just a bluff using sequence changes to play a trick.
Personality, too much personality
Vincent/JOHN TRAVOLTA: A gunman with a weird personality and an unstable personality. He seems to be tailor-made for TRAVOLTA. His identity in other films since then is like this: close to this, succeed, or you will be over. The dance with MIA/UMA THURMAN, of course, is to awaken the audience’s memories of him as a violent dancer; compared with JULES played by SAMUEL JACKSON, Vincent is like a foil for positive characters in traditional stories, so when he As soon as he walked out of the bathroom, he was beaten to death by Willis with his own micro-sound submachine gun. As it should be, no one would regret that the protagonist died so inexplicably. (Interestingly, he performed twice in this film to go to the toilet to shit, and every time he came out, he had something to do.) He went to the Netherlands to take shelter for a while, so he had a European understanding of drug culture. It seems to be more gentle and artistic than pure old and beautiful, just as his name always makes me feel like it was changed later, in order to have a relationship with Van Gogh. He and JULES told me that the Europeans changed the names of the hamburgers. I really liked it. On the way to the murder, the two old men discussed trivial matters like two old-fashioned people, seriously dying.
Mr. Wolf/HARVEY KEITEL: I guess he got this role because Tarantino himself likes his coolness so much, it was specially set for him (I guessed it!). Wearing a party gown, he methodically handled the corpses with his head and the car with his brain sprayed. Although he didn't sleep all night and lacked energy, he was still handsome. He won't get angry with such old men as Vincent and JULES. No matter what the coffee Jimmie offers, he will thank him politely. He is a gentleman and a cold-blooded professional, and everyone respects him. After the incident, he drove away in a sports car, Vincent and JULES looked at each other, they must want to say that the world is unequal!
Boxer/BRUCE WILLIS: This role must also belong to Willis, which fits well with his approach in the famous DIE HARD: stubborn, unruly, and soft-hearted little man. Since everyone is very accustomed to his appearance, I won't talk about it here.
JULES/SAMUEL JACKSON: This is the really most important role in the film. This role is wonderful because of SAMUEL’s appearance, and he himself became popular because of it—but I personally think that he will be hard to see in other films from now on. To this JULES is the same personalization. The scripture he reads before each murder, if you change the person, I am afraid that it will not be so powerful. The significance of this scripture is that we can see through the anger of JULES and discover his heart.
Mafia boss Marsellus Wallace: His coolness comes from his identity, he can speak to people with accent, because he is the boss, others have to listen to him obediently. He said one word at a time: "...Pride only hurts", the boxer can ignore him and win the game out of self-esteem and strategy, but now there is only a good boy in front of him listen. The development of the plot made a big joke with him, he was fucked.
The boxer Xiaomi who can't remember the name: She is the only cowardly character in this film, giving people a particularly soft feeling. Compared with a big mi like MIA, she is too petite, and it is unlikely that she will be a big boss (and she will be thrown off if she is). However, in the sweaty boxer, she is the only compensation and happiness for the cold life. Her sexy is what men want, and her incompetence adds realism to the story.
Other roles: too many to write. Just like the British couple who robbed fast food restaurants and the drug dealer who sold drugs to Vincent.
The little guy's victory
boxer won. For dignity, for the watch that his predecessors hid in their assholes, he also rescued the underworld boss with virtuous grievances in exchange for freedom.
The bored eldest daughter-in-law, MIA, had a solid cool once, seduce LG's cool bodyguard, won the dance competition, died of excessive drugs, and turned alive.
The young man Jimmie (the director himself), who has been converted from evil, and his wife went to the night shift, and his friends drove into the house in cars filled with dead bodies and brains. When his wife came back in the morning, he would be over if he didn't get it right. Fortunately, an expert came to help him take care of everything, but it happened to be nothing.
The British couple who robbed money in the restaurant looked like the kind of dumb thieves who tried and failed and tried repeatedly. They finally thought of a brilliant idea but hit the gunpoint of the underworld killer. Fortunately, the killer changed his mind and gave up the violent life, and even allowed the thieves to leave with the money they robbed. Amitabha!
The boss is more unlucky: the daughter-in-law steals the guy with fanfare, but he knows nothing, the designed boxing races the water and loses a lot of money; he even went to the street to buy some fast food and was knocked out and put into the cellar. Fucked ass.
This is a victory for the little people. Although they rely on luck, they all got rid of the disaster and even made a fortune. Don't most of us who are depressed just count on this? So there are so many people who love to watch it because of this ending.
However, there is always a but, JULES, a black-looking black underworld killer, has become the highlight of this vulgar story. In fact, it is also very simple. It is what the Chinese often say "put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha". From a cynical professional killer to an ordinary man determined to retire from the rivers and lakes, he experienced a process of being bored with violence and introspecting. Of course, we did not. See this process. Compared with his partner Vincent, JULES seems more brainy and more practical. He is loyal to the boss, knows how to act, is calm and controlled in his murder work, and can even express his humor in blood; but he can't become a "Mr. Wolf" role, which is a cruel role of white-collar workers. , The killer who can wear a white tie to the dinner party. He is a rough man. But no one can prevent rough people from thinking. The result of Jules’ thinking was in the last movement of Huacai. He put a 45-caliber pistol on the head of the thief who was about to grab him, and read a lengthy "Murder Sutra", then turned the conversation around and gave up. Violence.
A self-declared "vulgar" story full of violence and black life, ends in non-violence, just like a headshot.
This 1994 movie does not have the fancy computer stunts of the past two years, nor does it have the charm of handsome men and beauties. I can’t even talk about acting, because everyone is just showing their personal qualities (look at TRAVOLTA), it’s just an alternative. The director of is telling a story that no one has told before, the United States, violence, drugs, and abnormal psychology, but it is not vulgar.
