what is wrong with you quintin?? (death proof..)?

Question

ok the movie death proof, actully put me to sleep 2 times, their's a reason men don't listen to their gf's/wifes when their talking to their girlfirends, it's beacuse it's all the details we (as men) don't care about! not that we don't care about talking to our spouses, we just don't relly need to be included when it's just u and your friends. relly most of the movie was about 3-4 gf's just talking, about their bf's and all the deatils.. personally i relly relly relly, did not like this movie because of that. the part where he kills the 4 women was, creative and kool with the whole multipul angles and all, but relly death proof could have been a lot more if it wasn't so damn boring...

any one eilse feal like this? (i actully did pass out twice while the main women were just bablling on about their bf's)...

(some thing you should ask yourself b4 posting, howmany times dose your bf ask if he can tag along when u tell him that your going out with just your girl friends..)

Answer 1

I know what you mean when you say that "girl talk" can be boring. Of course no guys want to tag along with his GFs friends..But QT is very good at creating some outstanding dialouge between his characters. Remember the opening scene in Reservoir Dogs? The scene in Pulp fiction between John Travolta and Uma Thurman? The dialouge really sets up his characters and allows the audience to get to know them better. However I do agree that it was a little bit of overkill having to hear two group of girls do the same talk over again. I actually enjoyed Death Proof and the "girl talk" didnt spoil it for me.

Answer 2

actually, i disagree.

when i think back on the movie, the scene that sticks out in my mind is the scene in the diner where the women are talking and the camera kind of pans around and you can see Russell sitting at the counter. they talk for a long time about slice of life woman stuff and the camera eventually pans around to find that Russell's diner stool is now empty as they continue to talk.

it was kind of creepy--and the dialog was spot on (well, i'm a guy so it seemed spot on to me).

we know Tarentino is good at portraying violence--what makes him really interesting is how he can "dress it up" with good, basic dialog.

would i have liked the movie without the dialog? yes? but the dialog made it much better to me--like icing on a cake.
