Reservoir Dogs

 -  Movie was made in 1992 and each charter had a different and weird color name and that viewers don’t figure that out till later in the movie. The flash backs would bring the viewer up to date on how they all somewhat knew each other.  Story telling with great background music led the viewer from the start of the movie through the lineup of charters and how they all met.
                The most noticeable thing about the movie was the camera and facing each charter as they had morning breakfast and the camera would slide around the table as each charter said something. This made it clear that the director wanted you to hear each conversation with the understanding you were there in the restaurant with the group. You would also notice the different camera shots and angles not forgetting the lighting as they were inside, outside and in building with high window.
                Another key feature was how each charter talked and the use of profanity which is made to seem common in gangs and gang type organizations. Each actor had a different ability and qualification on getting the job completed. The focus was on the big “Joe” played by Lawrence Tierney which with the camera angles were low and usually zoomed out with long shots and made the viewers feel like he was in charge.  Drama filled the air when you see them driving down the road and Mr. Orange was wounded and you caught yourself thinking “What Happened”. Meeting at the warehouse and the drama continued as they were all waiting to find out what happened. The audience had a mind boggling event when Mr. Black caused pain and suffering to the police officer, but the audience never actually seen any of the actions. Things your mind can do when left to the immigration.
