“Reservoir Dogs” (1992) movie review – 3.5/5

I like the early Tarantino better (“Pulp Fiction”, etc.)

Violence as relationship 

Compare the last scene with “The Hateful Eight”

Do all his films have a common thread?? And therefore have an underlying meaning?

Passion, crucifixion, & harmony!

I thought Mr. Blonde was the undercover cop! 😉

I don’t understand why Mr. White loves Mr. Orange……

The only 2 questions worth asking in/about life are why & how.

I’ve had enough of the peppy, crappy small talk that struts around as gospel truth……!

As I read such stories, I ask myself, what have I got to do with them?

Will I just continue living as if I have never known such things are happening in the world?

How can I live in such a way that I can have a positive impact (no matter how insignificant in the bigger picture) on at least one of the pressing issues of our time?
