Dorks

 


We won’t take a break. Movie techniques.

I said before this movie is not in chronological order. First, second, third, fourth. First, next, after, finally.  Why is it out of chronological order / linear order. Our lives are chaotic (crazy, not organized). The movie is trying to show this by messing up the time order. Why is the watch important to this idea of chaos in our lives? Why does the protagonist (main character) care so much about the watch?

Paying homage to: this is an idea you will often see in film. When the director copies a famous scene from a famous movie to show respect to that director or the history of film. I am going to show you Tarantino copying / paying homage to Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange.

Catch up: hurry up

Flashback: memory scene

Heirloom: something that is important in a family but not valuable to others

Cameo: when a famous person goes in a movie for a quick shot or a few minutes only

 

Dorks: nerds, sissy boys, etc.
