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

Tarantino's stamp is also engraved on "Crimson Tide"

Incidentally, around the same time as ``The Rock'', Tarantino also participated in `` Crimson Tide '' with no credit. As usual, the relevant parts are not made clear, but when you look at them carefully, their characteristics become extremely clear.

In this work, crew members who share the same fate on the same submarine quiz each other on the bus before departure about the war movie masterpiece `` The Enemy Below '', and a fist fight over the American comic ``Silver Surfer''. It even depicts a scene in which he reveals himself.

In the end, Denzel, who plays the role of vice captain, says, ``'Silver Surfer' is a wonderful work!'', and the crew member who made fun of this comic is wrapped up in silver tape near the end. There's even a character named after one of Tarantino's former colleagues as a video store clerk. This is an irresistible treasure hunt for fans. It goes without saying that this unique flavor gives the movie a unique feel.

Quentin Tarantino, who has now risen to the position of one of the leading directors of the 21st century, worked on these works early in his career. There are many things that become clear when you read it in his context. The first time you watch it, you're immersed in the tension and excitement that makes your hands sweat, but the second and third time you watch it, you'll think about the screenwriter's work and take a closer look at the craftsmanship. I think it can be said to be a meaningful way to enjoy it.
