Death proof (spoilers!)

I’ve seen DP yesterday and the day before yesterday and chanches are I’ll see it again today.



2 questions and some comments:



who was the guy one girl sent “you’re an asshole!” to?



what was the whole piano music scene ? I think she sent messages to the dyke that got them weed. It seemed out of place, like she was messaging her lover, and was never referred to again.



It’s more Zoe Bell’s movie than it is Kurt Russells. I was suprised. He gets less screen time than I expected, I thought the movie was mostly about him. Zoe is adorable and seems very natural.



Just like all the other girls did. I loved how they were real-life women. It seemed like you were spying on them, kinda like in “Rear Window”.



QT introduces and builds up the characters of the first group of girls, just to have them all killed by Stuntman Mike in the middle of the movie. They weren’t even friends of the second group of girls or related in any way. It seems like they were just killed to show what Stuntman Mike is capable of doing and to have an gory death scene. But why build them up first? For the twists sake? I liked it anyway.



Brian Trenchard-Smith got a Special Thanks. The director of the classic BMX Bandits and Leprechaun 3 and 4. I like the guys movies and BMX Bandits is one of my favourite movies of all time.



Stunman Mike: “do you know any of the movies or people I’m talking about?” Haha oh man, how can we movie enthusiasts NOT relate with that?



In addition to some fake brands, QT used real brands for the first time: Chesterfield, Red Bull, Ray Ban



I loved the long take. From IMDB: “During the second half of Death Proof (2007), when the four women are talking in the cafeteria, it is all done in a single take that is approximately seven minutes long” Perfect.
