Pulp Fiction:
It has an excellent screen play. Some parts of the story seem to be stretched but overall when all the pieces of the story are tied up at the end, its amazing. This is my first movie of Quentin Terentino and I liked it. It has an inner message too. The action by Samuel L. Jackson is what I liked most of all the others. Its a bit lengthy but a "Should watch" movie.
Taxi Driver:
I wanted to cover movies of Martin Scorsese. So, brought this one. Actually I started liking Marty's work after I saw Aviator. It was a splendidly brilliant film. Taxi Driver is a similar film, which describes the life of a Taxi Driver in New York city. Robert De Niro is best at his action. The movie is a bit slow paced but that doesnt make it boring to watch it. The way Robert De Niro tries to date Cybill Shepherd is interesting. Its something new, fresh and exciting to watch. Later part is ok. Overall its good.
Raging Bull:
This is another one by Marty. Its a story about a boxer. The way his life rises to celebrity and then falls apart. Robert De Niro has performed to an absolute high level. The movie did not interest me a lot because it is the story of a loser but the way it is picturized is good. It is like a real person around the corner. At times, we cannot identify if the actor is Robert De Niro. He is fat, lean, broken face,..etc different shapes. He did a lot of hard work for this movie. He is the one who carries the movie alone on his shoulders from beginning to end. Its a black&white film. So, that too made it a bit boring. Overall its OK.
From what I observed of Marty's movies so far, I think he is very good at picturizing or bringing on to screen the life of a person. He is absolute genious in making Biopics. Aviator, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull are some examples of his marvellous work.
Thats all for now. I ll be posting more as I watch more. (Shiva; Roseville, CA - 06/01/2007)
