“The Rock” Michael Bay x Quentin Tarantino! ? An unexpected fusion of two people with completely different tastes!

Is it true that Tarantino was involved?

What's even more surprising is that the genius Quentin Tarantino also participates in this film without any credit. At the time, he was attracting attention for directing films such as `` Reservoir Dogs '' and `` Pulp Fiction ,'' as well as writing screenplays for ``True True Romance '' and ` `Natural Born Killers .''

The mission given to him was to improve the tempo and rhythm of the dialogue, add small details, etc. The specific changes have not been made clear, so please forgive me for just speculating, but what caught my attention was the lightheartedness that Nicolas Cage inadvertently inserts in a tense situation. be.

In particular, the way he talks about his passionate feelings about the Beatles' analog records, the scene where a pornographic magazine comes out of a wooden box while disposing of a suspicious item, and the scene where he listens to his lover about the hardships he's had today, etc. I can't help but feel, ``It seems like it.''

In "Pulp Fiction," there is a scene in which a hypodermic needle is stabbed into the heart of a heroine who has overdosed on drugs in order to revive her, but in this film there is also a scene in which a hypodermic needle is inserted vertically in order to escape the effects of chemical weapons. There is. Incidentally, it is also interesting that the tense scene at the end of ``True Romance,'' in which many men point guns at each other, is included in exactly the same way in ``The Rock.'' Isn't it quite possible that Tarantino made some changes to these parts?

what about. Even though there are a large number of screenwriters involved, it doesn't feel like a rush project; rather, each of them has their own specialties and duties, and like a chef in a kitchen, they all work towards the plate in front of them. Don't you get the impression that he was putting all his efforts into doing what needed to be done? It is said that the first draft had a more serious content, and ``The Rock'' was able to play a rich variety of harmonies with such an exciting and speedy tempo and rhythm, and characters with various tones. This can be said to be due in no small part to the efforts of the screenwriters. If even one of them was missing, such a masterpiece of action would not have been possible.

Michael Bay and Quentin Tarantino. Although the two are of the same sex and have completely different production styles, it was surprising to see them collaborating in this way. However, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the fusion of these two people created an action masterpiece that represented the 90s.
