Jackie Brown, Elmore Leonard

Last night I watched Jackie Brown (on Netflix), a Tarantino movie.

Nice movie.

Robert De Niro plays a strange supporting role, a daft accomplice of arms dealer Samuel L. Jackson. I thought: the big De Niro playing such a non-descript character, that's fantastic.

More thoughts.

I saw the movie was based on a book of Elmore Leonard, I writer I had never heard of, but I recently watch an interesting video about him. The role Samuel L. Jackson plays reminds me of his role in Kingsman: The Secret Service. A ruthless criminal shot in the climax of the movie. And then on comparing these stories: Jackie Brown is a way more interesting story than the flat action-movie story of Kingsman.

“Now it's also instinctive I'm barely aware of what I'm doing but at the same time I don't write fast and I've never written fast. For me a good day's work, and this is eight hours of work, a good day’s work is if I have one typed page at the end. One or two pages is great, three is a miracle. You know it happens maybe four times a year that I can do three pages but if I get the one page done I feel satisfied.”
