Few things in life are as good or better the second time around. Seeing the original Tarantino on the big screen was as good or better than the first time 20 years ago.
The remastering of the print made for an even more powerful showing of sight and sound. The famous diner scene starts things off with the unlikely group of strangers planing a heist and then cuts to Mr. White and Mr. Orange in the car after the heist gone bad. They end up at the warehouse with Mr. Pink who starts the idea of the set-up. Why do I have to be Mr. Pink?
The best part of the movie is that it is like a play, all set in the warehouse. The characters wearing the same clothes make for more focus on the players. Plus the white shirts show off the blood better.
Even having seen the movie in recent times, I was still surprised at several of the scenes. My favorite scene of Mr. Orange and the drug story is one I think of often. A charming anecdote about a drug deal gone bad, as they say. Great dialogue!
