Screen Violence as Entertainment
Tarantino Reworks Modern Cinema
To say that Michael Madsen is prolific is to make a major understatement – he has been churning out up six film and television projects a year since the early eighties. Quantity rarely equates to quality but he, along with his trademark red-raw voice, never fails to punch his authority into the role. Now a regular Tarantino stalwart his role as ice-cold psychopath Mr. Blonde and his graphic torture scene will forever be set aside as definitive of the direc
Quentin Tarantino offered up his first slice of cinematic pop art in the 1992 quote-fest Reservoir Dogs. Here he manipulated traditional storyboard templates, cutting and pasting his unique brand of narrative into a mix that truly sought to test those so used to their doses of formula.
Harvey Keitel began his acting career in 1967 but truly found recognition in Martin Scorsese's 1973 classic [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mean Streets. He has steadily worked plying his trade often as the 'Hardman' but also straying into alternative roles – most notably in Jane Campion's, The Piano.
Mr. Orange – Tim Roth
Yet another prolific actor but one who seems to seamlessly slide from obscure independent productions to smack-you-in-the-face blockbuster. No genre is left untouched by this 'everyman' actor, writer and director who has appeared as everything from the hapless Mr. Pink to psychopath Garland Green in the guilty pleasure [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Conair.
Mr Pink – Steve Buscemi
Dogs is no doubt dripping in violence and laced with ever present profanity but 'This is this' [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to paraphrase De Niro's Deer Hunter. It harks back to the pulp cinema from which it is so openly inspired and stretches forward over the films that Tarantino subsequently made. This is not everybody's glass of Cristal but it is refreshing to have the senses sometimes shaken rather than pandered to.
Where are the Dogs Today?Mr White – Harvey Keitel
Ensemble casting fills out yet another check box whenever discussion of this famous ex-video rental employees work is discussed. Reservoir Dogs set the pace for things to come with an eclectic mix of past and present acting talent. In this film, mostly dressed in identical black suits and named by color, they bustled and fizzed with an on screen chemistry rarely seen before. The simplicity and perfect execution of the plot and the absence of expected set pieces has made this a classic storytelling hook upon which many future films have been hung.
Tarantino Assembles His Ensemble
Tarantino, in the same vein as Woody Allen has etched such a definitive niche for himself that it is perhaps the styles saviour that this director is not at all prolific. His films are spaced by years rather than the customary months and this, for the most part, allows the style to remain 'cool'. But it is a fine line that is tread with some of Tarantino's work all but tripping into parody – it is perhaps testament to the exacting nature of his casting that such unnatural dialogue can be delivered with such believability.
An English actor who has also worked steadily since his work on Reservoir Dogs. More often than not his choices have veered away from the blockbuster and into more independent territory. He would memorably work again with Tarantino in 1994's Pulp Fiction as an unlucky would be armed robber who instead ends up in a one way chat with Samuel L. Jackson.
