Oh ok, Ill answer it then. Why would you want to watch a movie with the sound off? Dialog is an essential part of any movie. You watch it with volume down your obviously going to miss out on an essential part of the movie watching experience, listening to dialog. But apart from that, his films are beautifuly shot, many of his scenes dont have that much dialog, your simply meant to enjoy the visuals. Just watch the last half of Kill Bill Vol. 1 where The Bride kicks ass on the House of Blue Leaves....let me know if you need dialog to understand that. His just a good visual storyteller. His movies look beautiful, theres no denying that.

And I get the impression people are beginning to see through the fog of excessive four-letter language through to the fairly sparse narratives and very cartoony characters. Oh no he says "FUCK" a lot in his dialog, excuse me all to hell but Hitmen and Killers arent going to necesarilly use these words sparingly. If you lived amongst guys like Vincent and Jules, Im sure youd say "fuck" more then a few times per day. And in respects to this....there is not that many FUCKS on Kill Bill. Watch it again.

Would you rather films were silent? Without his dialog though, his films are still strong and beautiful to look at. Quote: Originally Posted by max314 His signature dialogue often serves as a pace killer that begins to really grate on repeat viewings, and all his characters seem to talk in that same eccentric speech pattern. It's these things that warrant taking points off his films. Ok, so you dont like his dialog. You think they slow the pace down. I disagree with you there, Ive seen Pulp Fiction thousands of times, his dialog is what keeps me coming back to watch it. Of course, this isnt the case with Kill Bill which I mostly watch for the incredibly visual (and practically dialogless) extravanganza of a kung fu fight in the end. That scene is a direct representation of Tarantinos ability to tell a story or a scene without the use of dialog, you just gotta sit back tight and enjoy the kung fu choreography, and the ensuing blood bath that unfolds before your eyes. |
