I have no idea which scene Tarantino did. I just know that he completely mess up the ONE scene he directed in Sin City. It just COMPLETLEY broke with how the rest of the movie flowed.

I know! Let's turn the internal monologues that gave a strong, brooding feeling into a spoken monologue that makes the actor seem like he is rambling without a purpose. BRILLIANT!

That one scene is a taint on an otherwise fantastic movie.

Quote :

"Earlier in their careers, Tarantino and Avary had planned on making an anthology movie comprised of three short films; one written and directed by Avary, one written and directed by Tarantino, and one written and directed by a third filmmaker, reportedly Adam Rifkin. When the third filmmaker never materialized, Tarantino and Avary took their respective stories and expanded them into full length screenplays separately. Tarantino's story became Reservoir Dogs, and Avary's story became "Pandemonium Reigns". "Pandemonium Reigns" ended up forming the basis of the "Gold Watch" chapter of Pulp Fiction (an earlier version of his website displayed an excerpt from "Pandemonium Reigns", illustrating the changes that were made by Tarantino when writing "The Gold Watch"), and other odd scenes Avary had written were reworked and incorporated into the Pulp Fiction script, such as the accidental shooting of Marvin, and the scene in which the bullets fired at Jules and Vincent miss their targets (Avary claims both of these scenes were written for his rewrite of True Romance). Tarantino and Avary got together in Amsterdam shortly after the release of Reservoir Dogs, and pasted each other's scenes together into a first draft, after which Avary left to film Killing Zoe, and Tarantino took over subsequent writing of Pulp Fiction."

Think back to the scenes all the other scenes where the main character is narrating something. Its dark, even brooding, and there are some special sound tweeks that change the quality. The voices are also narrated in the background. This allows for the actors to voice "act" whenever they are giving their monolgues and also act in the scenes where the narration is added.

In the car scene, the monologues that the guy gives are done right there in that scene, not in the background. This is a complete break from the rest of the movie. It also doesn't work nearly as well. The guy comes off as a rambling buffoon. Imagine if Bruce Willis said "An old man dies, a little girl lives. . . fair trade" out loud as he lay dying after being shot. It would not have been NEARLY as effective.

The Miller style is great on the page. It doesn't work so well as a direct translation to film. If it did, there wouldn't be hundreds of film noir parodies floating around the entertainment landscape. I don't think the Willis line would sound silly if it was delivered in dialogue, as long as the delivery is the same.

The fact is that Sin City is a beautiful visual film, but as a film experience it's lacking in vitality. Aside from a few other quick moments, the Tarantino scene is the only one in the film that reflects the energy and creativity that exist in the material itself.

what i thought was the crappy part of pulp fiction was the hotel scenes with bruce willis, and the rest of the gold watch is very different from the rest of the movie.
what makes me wonder is aside from reservoir dogs his other movies dont even come close,
only when he's working with another director like robert rodriguez does his he make
memorable scenes.
