It’s okay to acknowledge QT is a good writer guys. I can feel how it hard it is for y’all lol.
2022-09-12 12:40:37 +0000 UTCI wanted to add a comment about some of the larger ideas in Reservoir Dogs, which the team begrudgingly admitted was a very well done film. I think one think the team missed is the importance of trust and deception in the film. The characters don’t trust each other which is why they use monikers and in the opening only connect on a superficial level (hence their conversation around pop culture stuff). Orange is deceiving everyone bc he’s an undercover cop, Orange and White begin to trust one another bc they connect on a human level since orange is dying. Even Joe and Nice Guy Eddie have a trusting relationship with Blonde, who can’t be trusted to do the job right (and without malice). I don’t think trust is a theme because I don’t think Tarantino has anything to really say about trust at the end, but it’s certainly a motif that crops up a lot in the film (or so I find). Anyway, cheers.
