In July of this year, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" starring two handsome uncles Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt was released.
just look at the two faces on the poster, this movie ticket is worth buying! What's more, the director of this film is called Quentin.
Quentin once said that he made ten movies in his life, and this was the second to last.
If this buddy says what he has to say, then there is not much fun left for the fans.
Quentin’s movies are like a kind of code word. When one person finds that another person also likes Quentin’s movies, you will think that
"Oh, you are in the same way."
is a bit like the evil secret words between boys in childhood Only this small group can understand. This kind of codeword helps the little boys avoid the scrutiny of their parents and teachers, and they feel very proud.
Quentin's movies are niche in China. The most famous movie is probably "Kill Bill". If it weren't for this year's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" to be accused of vilifying Bruce Lee, no one would know who Quentin is!
Let's talk about Quentin today!
first. Who is Quentin?
In 1963, his mother gave birth to him and gave him the name of the character in "Gun Fireworks"-Quentin.
When Quentin was 4 years old, his parents divorced and Quentin met his stepfather. This stepfather was an artist. He often took Quentin to watch some weird movies to cultivate Quentin's artistic taste.
Quentin's artistic taste has not had time to transform, the high school teacher thinks Quentin has ADHD, it is estimated that Quentin was too mischievous and expelled from school. Quentin went straight to work in a video studio, and now he can watch the movie again.
You also understand when you see here, this buddy has been around one thing from the age of 4 to adulthood, watching movies. It's hard to say that the people who read the most books in the world, but the people who watch the most movies, I only recognize Quentin. From French New Wave movies, Hong Kong movies, American Western movies, Italian gangster movies... as long as you want, he will watch them!
This is a real person who grew up watching movies. Quentin, who grew up watching movies, is 1.9 meters tall and big forehead. He does not look like a kind, and in fact he is not a kind.
was the pinnacle of his debut. In 1992, Virgo's "Falling Water Dog" was released in France and it became a hit. Since then, Quentin has no need to worry about film investment and shooting, he can shoot whatever he wants.
In 1994, he filmed "Pulp Fiction" and won the Palme d’Or at Cannes. Quentin was just 31 years old at this time. The darling of the movie used 8.9 million US dollars to win the global box office of 212.9 million US dollars. At that time, there were even some young people. People are enthusiastic enough to form a religion for Quentin. Quentin's bull fork can be seen.
Since then, every film of Quentin can arouse large-scale cheers or criticism, with a unique style, black, humor, talkative, unique narrative structure, foot control... These words are all Quentin’s words Features. That's the genius! If
is to force an analogy, Quentin is the American Jiang Wen.
What is unique about Quentin's movie?
If you haven't watched Quentin's movies much, that's normal, because his movie tastes too heavy, often there are scenes of headshots splashing blood, or there are many gang elements, or it is swearing, very yellow and violent. It is often designated as a B-level film. In order to protect the pure hearts of children, we certainly can't let this kind of film be released.
1·The film has dense black elements
"I'm sorry, I am the police"
is the line very familiar, I know you think of Tony Leung's "Infernal Affairs", in fact, this line was first in Quentin’s debut work—— Appeared in "Falling Dog".
Quentin’s little ruffian has a very strong temperament. In his movies, justice is not important, but the story is important.
In order to tell an unexpected story, he often portrays characters who are both good and evil. "Falling Dog", "Pulp Fiction", "Kill Bill" From these films, you can't find any good people.
But these people are very principled, respect the old artillery of the society, love children; like listening to music, dancing, and full of ritual in life. When they are not angry, they are like docile lions.
They are generally typical tofu mouth, knife heart. Nagging on the mouth, working on the handsChildren are simply and neat. If you don’t agree, you’ll be "boom!"
is full of flesh and blood on the screen, which is called "violent aesthetics". Simply put, it is the technique of stepping on a point and shooting a headshot.
2·I like the hodgepodge, and pay tribute to the classic shots I like.
may not be a good word in the eyes of today’s audience to "use doctrine", but in Quentin’s movies, "imitate" and "borrow" some classic bridges To satisfy one's own evil taste is a necessary link.
and imitate the effect you want. The audience also pays. (I think Quentin has the potential to be the host of ups)
For example, Wu Yusen is Quentin's favorite to imitate. Many of Quentin's shootouts, you can see the shadow of Wu Yusen's shootout movies. In addition to
likes to pay tribute to the seniors in the film, Quentin's film soundtrack is also ethical. Oh, by the way, the director is still a music enthusiast. The vinyl records at home are estimated to have several walls. Therefore, he directly uses his favorite music as the background sound when making movies, almost no special music is needed.
In addition to learning from music, Quentin also likes to use movies to make movies! Quentin's photographer said: Quentin has a habit of making movies, that is, before the filming starts, let his core team watch a series of movies to get the audiovisual atmosphere he wants. Shooting new movies with old movies means Quentin can do such a thing!
3·A master of storytelling.
What is the most important thing about storytelling? Is
interesting story material? No, some stories are not interesting or profound, but to show the story from different angles, you can often tell a mediocre story and tell the heartstrings.
Quentin is a master in this. Take "Falling Dog" as an example, the story of a group of robbers, set a code for each person, and then let the robbers suspect each other who is the rape. In this process, the key information was continuously released to allow the audience to participate in the speculation. Finally, the undercover came out, another wave of triangular shootings and all the members had lunch!
will ask you whether you are surprised or surprised!
Finally, let’s talk about the incident of "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" spoof Bruce Lee. I have at least three words to say:
1. In the eyes of a thousand readers, there are a thousand Hamlet;
2. No movie can please all audiences; There are a lot of bad movies. If they can’t be broadcast because a certain part of the people don’t like it, then there will be no movies available in the cinema
3. The theme of "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is not a spoof Bruce Lee, but a section added by the director.
Alright, about Quentin, let’s talk about Quentin first, and talk about it later!
