Overview
Jackie Brown is a flight attendant who gets caught in the middle of smuggling cash into the country for her gunrunner boss. When the cops try to use Jackie to get to her boss, she hatches a plan — with help from a bail bondsman — to keep the money for herself.
The second attempt at dating took place a few years later and my wife and I simply fell asleep, but I still watched the movie, although it felt like I missed half of it. Conclusion, this is not the best movie after the end of the working day.
And here's the third preview. At work, with subtitles, because I really like the way Jackson sounds (especially the way he expresses himself)... And every five minutes I get pulled, which I couldn't even handle for the first hour. The situation is no better on the second day, but nevertheless this is my first meaningful viewing, when I am absolutely sure that I did not miss or miss anything. Conclusion, this is not the best movie to watch at work.
But I don't agree at all that this isn't the best film of Tarantino's career. Everything is in his style, except that there is a lot less action than in his entire generalized filmography. I think Quentin just spoiled us with the rest of his work, and Jackie Brown is a great crime comedy that sounds like Tarantino, looks like Tarantino, and it's just Tarantino. As always, great music and lots of pure Quentin gags. Robert De Niro, who played the biggest idiot of his career, the cool show-off motherfucker Jackson, the beauties Pam Grier (By the way, I can't help but compare her walk through the airport with similar scenes in Once upon a Time in Hollywood, it's just funny) and Bridget Fonda, whose feet are strongly associated with this movie. I'm actually yelling at Michael Keaton here, he's very funny here and for some reason very reminiscent of Woody Harelson and... Matthew McConaughey? And a great scenario where some are trying to fuck up the others and everyone is doing shit. Although there was no desire to touch the original novel, I suspect that Quentin absorbed all the best from it and made a great movie! I'm surprised and somewhat upset that even Death-Defying is mentioned more often than Jackie Brown, which is somehow sad and undeserved.
P.S. But still, until the end, I did not let go of the feeling that Quentin, although he was shooting as usual, but as if some other director had participated in addition to him. Or two. The Cohen brothers, for example, or Scorsese. But these are just associations.
The critic Tom Schoen once jokingly said that some people confess their love for "Jackie Brown" only to "subtly communicate" their dislike for Tarantino — the director here does not look like himself.
However, let's be fair: It's a great movie that only gets better with every viewing.
I suggest that everyone familiarize themselves with it and draw their own conclusion.
The cast and their acting are great, you have to look at that.
Tarantino did not make films in carbon copy in the same style, that's why he is an artist, you just don't have to wait for pulp fiction, this film has its advantages, and Tarantino is in the dialogues, the staging, the little things.
