Finally another soul that liked it. Tarantino was definitely influenced by Elmore Leonard's story telling style and dialogues. Only contemporary (though he is 80s plus) novelist I read.Quote:

I don't have access to it right now. It was in google videos. I'll get you a link later today.
QT wanted an actor who could render that role with body language. He sent over the script to Deniro & he immediately wanted to do it. QT had asked Deniro to have the body-language of a pile of old clothes for the part. :lol: In the sense, his character should be able to show nuance, its history. This character had been in jail for many years, and Deniro's performance is so great that the audience could make-out what he had been through & the past more often than not, shows up in one's demeanor. It also explains the levels of indifference & self-containment that Deniro's character is able to manufacture, against Jackson's girlfriend, played by Bridget Fonda. After QT's elucidation, I'm able to appreciate Bobby's part a bit more! :D
Jeez...appadi ninaikkave illa. I suppose I should cut de Niro some slack :P and watch it again. But I don't mind doing so, great movie, wonderful book.
