Final paper.

Seeing as it's never been released, either in theaters or DVD, or broadcast on television as such, I'd be inclined to disagree. Even if you watch it all together, you're going to have to switch out for another DVD. It doesn't just go right in. You'd have to edit it together on some editing software to get that.

It's one movie, but it's never one.



He even wanted to make it a little longer if I remember correctly.

That's what she said.

And all directors do.



I don't have it online but I can email it. It's not much of an analysis as it was research, but still has a bunch of nifty facts...actually re-reading it now I'm so glad I've gotten better at writing since then

Totally average film. I wouldn't call it bad, except to ask the question WHY ASIAN?

Nevermind... I just remembered that the guy was a Korea veteran.



Considering I live near enough, I can vouch for the fact that they used to live there...but that's about it for the Korea stuff. I just cannot believe a movie with such average dialogue was ever made let alone nominated up the ass

The ending was lolsad. That's why. The Asian kid got the car and drove off sadly, but there was a little smile on his face.

Quentin tends to come up with re-writes all the time and calls for a lot of different takes of a scene from different angles, different lighting, different weather, and so on.
I had no idea about this man. I always imagined him as very much the opposite. Like write a script, know exactly what's going to happen and do it right then and there exactly as he'd imagined. I had no idea he was that kind of "have your cake and eat it too" type director.



I guess he taught himself how to direct this type of movie via doing it
The ending was lolsad. That's why.
So was Remember Me but that was hilarious but seriously, that was the best part, even though the whole story felt old hat with ongoing predictability

Yeah. I mean, maybe the ending made it worth it then. They also liked to make the Asian kid say vulgar things. I think people liked to see that.

Also, the girl got raped. But she was Asian.

Well, it's the same with whether or not Rick and Ilsa slept together in Casablanca.
