Violence for violence's sake might set a bad precedent.


Reservoir Dogs (1992) directed by Quentin Tarantino

Everybody knows that criminals are big losers but still there is a strong tradition in American cinema especially in Hollywood of making films which glorify criminals.Everybody knows that Godfather,a film about a mafia family is hailed as a classic film.People know well as to what kind of things mafia do and how harmful they are to human society in general.Reservoir Dogs is one such dumb film which through its antics champions the cause of crooks without morals.Tarantino is believed to be a humorist however his humor is undoubtedly bland and mainly consists of filthy abuses.A word about the violence in the film: by showing macabre scenes of senseless violence Tarantino has shown that in the name of creative freedom and in order to gain easy publicity all rules can be broken and more the violence the more controversial the film is going to be.Good that this film has not been emulated by other film makers. It is a good development that till now no studio has come forward with the idea of making a sequel of this film.God save America who has Quentino.

Godard lives a secluded life as a hermit. He might not like this film.


Pulp Fiction (1994) directed by Quentin Tarantino

What is the pulp and what is the fiction of this film ? This film makes no sense at all.The sad thing is that it does not have any reality.Godard has abandoned France and now lives in a tiny Swiss town of Rolle. I can assure that even Godard will say that this film has no beginning,no middle and no end and that too in no particular sense.As Quentino Tarantino has crooked teeth may be people like his films for that reason.All the actors of this film look confused.The great actress from Portugal Maria de Medeiros wasted her talent for a minor role which no one will ever bother to remember.Although it was a comeback vehicle for John Travolta,he has not acted well.Sam Jackson is confused.The most confused of them all is Christopher Walken.Let the others make merry but Quentin Tarantino will bore people to death with silly films like Kill Bill.Stay way from this film as it is a waste of money.
