What about tarantinos other movie, ‘natural born killers’.
“ The film is based on an original screenplay by Quentin Tarantino that was heavily revised by (Oliver) Stone”. (Wikipedia)
As for pf again, I think that we all invested in the characters. (Though, it may have been down to the directors use of very close shots of the primary actors).
Tarantino is a huge fan of Sergio leone. Remember the opening shots of ‘the good, the bad, and the ugly’, with the bounty hunters faces taking up nearly all of the screen.
Think of the space given over to ving Rhames head with the Elastoplast, or the look of utter malevolence in Samuel l Jackson’s eyes as he washes down that big kahuna burger with the sprite.
Afair, the only camera shot in pf that gave any sense of distance was the one with the aforementioned ‘twilight zone’ music.
Aside from the excellent soundtrack, the sound recording on pf was outstanding, lending a great sense of ambience. A world away from the vague mumblings on rd.
Pf is up there with ‘hereditary’ as one of my favourite movies.
