In Reply to: Why do people watch Tarantino? posted by Victor Khomenko on January 29, 2006 at 07:26:07:
Cronenberg, Burton and Lynch too.Film noir has always been attractive....Tarantino is different because he jumps around from genre to genre, but 'Reservoir Dogs' was an especially dark exploration of humanity, and he does make interesting films....not just the typical Nora Efron, Rocky or 'Cheaper By the Dozen' stuff.
Is there a genre for derivitive over the top commentary films about films?
Follow Ups:
Film noir usually had good people in them, struggling with adversity, but remaining good, not scum upon scum like in most of hsi works.I struggled with the Dogs, and it left me physically sick for days, and even today I do not want to think about it. And it is not like I am sensitive.

but I do know what he means about disturbing. This film was a gut wrenching exploration of violence...and the darkness that lurks in humans.As for Film Noir, I think RD sort of kicked the shit out of the genre, made it rude and spawned several subsequent followers....Some were actually pretty good, like 3 Days in the Valley, but others sucked, like Natural Born Killers.
