Mr. Pink: I'm very sorry the government taxes their tips, that's f***** up. That ain't my fault. It would seem to me that waitresses are one of the many groups the government f***s in the ass on a regular basis. Look, if you ask me to sign something that says the government shouldn't do that, I'll sign it, put it to a vote, I'll vote for it, but what I won't do is play ball. And as for this non-college bullshit I got two words for that: learn to f***n' type, 'cause if you're expecting me to help out with the rent you're in for a big fu***n' surprise. :This shows Mr. Pink's oppinion, and how it is not an acceptable behavior, even a crowd of mobsters were in dissaray with Mr. Pink's heartless statement; they obviously have some set of morals, though obscured, present nonetheless.
Tarantino had been working as a video store clerk in Redondo Beach and was originally going to shoot the film with his friends on a budget of $30,000 on 16 mm format with producer Lawrence Bender playing Nice Guy Eddie.
Relevance to mass media: Reservoir dogs shows the ruthless side of gang life, with little room for love or any social life. It shows the faceless nature of gang life where nothing but money matters, and fear is a fairy book tale. Trends: The music back then was very different, set in what looked to be the 70's, the soundtrack of the movie reflected both popular and indie tracks from that period.
Seven Total Strangers Team Up For The Perfect Crime. They Don't Know Each Other's Name. But They've Got Each Other's Color..
Main Cast:: Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Micheal Madsen, Chris Penn, Steve Busceni, and Quentin Tarentino. These actors play a series of mobsters, who's boss only gave them code names such as Mr. Pink, Mr White etc. The Controversy: Reservoir dogs really didn't have all that much violence. The real controversy came from the cop torture scene. It represents gang violence at a new level; the streets getting their shot back at the police.
The film adresses the stereotype that mobsters are heartless thugs who feel no emotion. Mr. Yellow's torture scene shows how he hates the police for locking him up and how he enjoyed every moment of it. Mr White shows the other side of mobsters in the beginning of the movie when Mr Orange is writhing in the back of his car bleeding out after being shot. Mr White holds his hand and promises to get him fixed up.
When the film came out, it was not really recieved to well. Critics say that the movie was ahead of it's time, and that the audience was not ready for a film that did not follow the contemporary filming style Tarantino used. The film, for example, was all about a bank heist, though that part of the movie was not shown, merely talked about. The audience could not handle Tarentinos combination of sick Black Humor and abstract photography, his audience viewed it as a flow, missing all the juicy details he left behind. This may add to why the movie made so little at the box office; the most of the profits coming years later on dvd sales.
This is a cult classic, not a film for every Bill, Bob, and Joey. Its a gruesome portrayal of Tarentino's gory imagination.. This movie is angled to attract fans of smutty films with little regard to story or plot. It is a visual masterpiece, that uses all the blood and explicit content and converts it into art.
