Tarantino Tales: Episode 3 - Jackie Brown

This was a really fun way to watch Jackie Brown, which in my opinion is one of Tarantino's most under-rated films. Some excellent choices when playing with the timeline of the film. Does a good job of keeping the truth out of reach and not really letting you in until really necessary. The placement of Louis and Melanie never felt right in the edit though. I'd imagine explaining them too much and keeping it at an hour had to be a challenge. Very cool music choices and everything fit in perfectly. Definitely recommend this edit if you want to watch Jackie Brown but not commit to the full runtime. Thanks for the hard work on this one futon88.

I watched this episode first, I could not wait to see how Futon88 edited this movie I kn0w quite well.
Right from the start, it's very strong. The opening scene is more reminiscent of the previous Tarantino films than the original, and quite nice to set the tone. I always felt like Jackie Brown lacked that aspect of the Director's catalog. Over the course of the movie, we are given almost everything from the original, but it gets to the point more rapidly. I would say it can sometimes feel a little bit rushed, but it gives a very fast pace compared to the original. I guess it was to be expected due to the nature of the project but it lessens ever so slightly my enjoyment of the movie (I have to guess that I will get used to it by the last episode I watch, sorry for that...lets call it the early adopter penalty).
Overall it is a great episode especially regarding the narrative. it is segmented, emphasizing the fast pace again. all sections are intercut with a story-telling device created by the faneditor from short clips taken from one scene. It gives the movie a specific color and feel.
Very well done Futon! I recommend without hesitation.

Oh wow; this thing is kind of a miracle! Somehow, the twisted plot of Jackie Brown is condensed into an hour, and it still works. I didn't get lost, but I was never fully "in on" what was happening, if that makes sense. Yeah, it's quicker paced, but because of the way the truth is kept at a tantalizing distance, I didn't mind that we were jumping around a bit. It felt like a necessary stylistic choice to tell the full story in a satisfying way. Loved to music replacements, too. 10s across the board. I can't recommend this chapter enough.

It's hard to know what was cut from the viewing; I have seen the original film a couple times, years ago, and this episode retells the story in a lean sixty minutes, and I didn't see any plotholes or problems with that. Excellent work.

When talking to people I often find I'm in the outs with my love of the original cut of Jackie Brown... I adore this film so I was intrigued to see what was done with this one... I don't know if I would have picked the Louis/Melanie parking lot scene to open on but that's just my opinion... I rest of the movie flowed very well and I rather enjoyed this "to the point" version of the film and it fit well within the theme and scope of the overall project. I didn't love all the music choices but once again that's just personal preference and in some cases felt the original music fit better.

I would definitely recommend this one and a few personal choices aside it was a great edit!!! Well done futon88
