Re: (L/C?) \"If you have to ask, you won\'t be able to understand.\"
Tarentino was trying to get us to realize that there is always a grey area. Every situation involves incomplete information, just like poker.
Makes me think of a floyd's "us and them" from darkside..."Black and blue And who knows which is which and who is who. Up and down. But in the end it's only round and round. Haven't you heard it's a battle of words"

Call me a nit, but I think he just wanted a cool scene.

Tarantino is all style, no substance, so in a sense that's true of everything he does. But I think the impact would have been diminished if Orange had lived. Think about it.

Tarantino is all style, no substance. [/ QUOTE ] Really, I'd love to see you define "substance". I disliked "300", which was very heavy on style, but I can articulate the reasons why. The characters were paper thin and not particularly likable, the dialog and acting were poor and the plot didn't engage me (probably for the former reasons). With the exception of Kill Bill which ignored character depth and plausible dialog for the most part, I don't see Tarantino's work in general having a substance deficit.

For example, today I asked my brother why Tarantino has Mr. Orange confess he's a cop to Mr. White at the end of Reservoir Dogs. [/ QUOTE ] That one's easy. The hard one is what was in the briefcase in PF?
