Orange/Freddy Newandyke, Quentin Tarantino as Mr. We are generally not told a great deal about the gangsters, and we are told to enjoy their story of hyper-real violence, betrayal and regret.High quality photo of Steve Buscemi as Mr. The film uses racist and misogynistic dialogue to appear edgy, and the generous amount of violence and killing serves as a substitute for a deeper plot and expanded character development. Overall, “Reservoir Dogs” is a film for people that enjoy violent crime movies. I think that portraying hyper-real violence in films can be an issue if parents allow young and impressionable children to view such films, but hyper-real violence can be an engaging storytelling tool for mature audiences. Quentin Tarintino tells complicated, violent, and sexual stories. It is a very violent film, and because of that, it should only be viewed by mature people. I think we should educate people about what the implications of films such as “Reservoir Dogs” are. I think that “Reservoir Dogs” is not a film for children, and that it is a well-made film with an engaging story, but it should only be viewed by those mature enough to handle such violent media. All the gangsters except one are dead by the end of the film, which they may have deserved after everything they had done. While the gangsters do not show direct remorse for their actions, the film does show the consequences. Violence is a central and essential part of the film, and if you do not enjoy films that use violence as a story-telling mechanism, it will not be the film for you.
I don’t know if you could classify a film like “Reservoir Dogs” as good, bad, or mediocre. Showing innocent people being brutally slaughtered has the potential to desensitize people to violence that happens in the real world. I think the way Quentin Tarintino uses violence in film could be called an artistic medium, but it could still be problematic. Blonde is one of the most disturbing scenes I have ever seen in a film. The scene where the police officer is brutally tortured by Mr. I think that “Reservoir Dogs” tells a fantastic and engaging story, however, it does present very violent and disturbing situations. Pink understood that the prize was more important than pride. White gets him killed in the standoff with Joe and Eddie. Pink is able to take the diamonds and leave. After the Mexican standoff in the warehouse, Mr. He was picked on by Joe during the film and was never really an alpha of the group. Pink hides under the stairs during the final shootout and is the only gangster that survives. I think this film says that violence is power, but that it also may be your downfall. They repeatedly belittle women, use racist terms, and kill anyone that might stand in their way. They also speak negatively of groups that aren’t straight, white men. In a world like the one in “Reservoir Dogs,” violent gangsters constantly kill people with no remorse, in an almost casual fashion. I feel the themes presented in “Reservoir Dogs” convey a sense of a scary world. Pink because he is “a faggot.” All of these prejudiced behaviors are presented unabashedly and usually with a hint of humor. Pink is told by Joe, the mob boss, that his chosen alias was Mr. Pink refuses to tip by default and a fellow gangster asks him if the waitress has to perform sexual acts on him to receive a tip. They are talking about black women and make gratuitous use of the n-word during the scene.Ī pattern of masculinity, misogyny, and homophobia is also present. Pink tells them to stop acting like “arguing niggers.” In a later scene, four of the gangsters are in a car. White are having an argument in the warehouse. There was also a theme of racist language in “Reservoir Dogs.” In one scene, Mr. Eddie does not even consider his decision and murders the cop. Eddie replies, “Oh, that cop?” and shoots him in the chest, killing him. Blonde is killed, Eddie, the mob boss’s son, shows up to the warehouse where Mr. White does not show any remorse and he immediately moves on.Īfter Mr. White fires two high-powered pistols into the police car, instantly killing the officers. Brown are seen in the getaway car and police cars approach them. The jewelry store heist is shown during Mr. Blonde shows no remorse whatsoever while torturing the cop, and he actually seems to enjoy it. He slices off the cop’s ear with a razor blade, smiling while doing so, covers him in gasoline, intending to set him on fire, before he is shot by Mr. The upbeat song is a stark contrast to the sickening torture that Mr. Blonde dances around the room while “Stuck in the Middle With You” plays on a radio.
