The Watch

The "watch scene" is one of my favourite ones in Pulp Fiction: Captain Kroon's monologue played by Christopher Walken.



"He'd be damned if any slope's gonna put his greasy yellow hands on his son's birthright. So he hid it in one place he knew he can hide something: his ass."

--> Brilliant line!

Here's the French version of the same scene, with Walken dubbed by Bernard Lanneau, who is the "official French voice" of Kevin Costner and Dennis Quaid.

Pulp Fiction

Quentin Tarentino's Pulp Fiction is for many (including myself) a terrific cult movie. Usually, I like movies that feature a normal, chronological structure, but this one is an exception. Indeed, Tarentino's editing makes it possible to take an uncommon approach on a storyline (a "postmodern nonlinear" one, as I read on Wikipedia), but it works pretty well. Besides, most of the lines are great, and so are the actors: John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth and Christopher Walken. For the plot, I refer you to the Wikipedia summary.

This movie contains a lot of famous scenes, like that of the hamburger (the first video) and Samuel L. Jackson's biblical pronouncement:





"Royale with cheese. You know what they call it that?"
"Er… because of the metric system?"

"Oh, I'm sorry… Did I break your concentration?"

Later in the film, we see a good reason not to use guns:



A fucking short version is available, if you like, and someone made an attempt to summarize the movie to 30 minutes and edit it in order to make it chronological. You tell me if it's better or not.

Deer Hunter

While I was doing my duty (i.e. taking my exams), my family had fun watching movies and series. They saw a film called The Deer Hunter, with Robert DeNiro and Christopher Walken — two actors I admire. My brother was so enthousiastic about it that he told me to watch an extract on YouTube: the Russian roulette scene.

Wikipedia summary:

The Deer Hunter (1978) is an Academy Award winning American film about a trio of Rusyn American steel worker friends and their infantry service in the Vietnam War. It is loosely inspired by the German novel Three Comrades (1937), by World War I army veteran Erich Maria Remarque, that follows the lives of a trio of World War I veterans in 1920s Weimar Germany. Like that novel, The Deer Hunter meditates and explores the moral and mental consequences of war violence and politically-manipulated patriotism upon the meaning of friendship, honor, and family in a tightly-knit community and deals with controversial issues such Drug Abuse, Suicide, Infidelity and Mental Illness.

I have to see the rest of the movie! My brother told me that there were other funny scenes, like the use of a flamethrower to get rid of enemies…

PS. Maybe you wonder why I wrote "funny" instead of "violent". That's maybe I find violent scenes funny… What kind of a freak am I???

Ronald McDonald poses for the camera with his victim.

Here is Ronald's original look. He only had about 5 fans, so he changed his face for more fans...to eat. But will he change back? NAW!!!
