Umm, ya mean Kubrick's first film? Umm, yeah, I think I've
seen it five or six times. But it doesn't quite do the same
thing to the audience that MYSTERY TRAIN and PULP FICTION do:
that is show the ending in the middle, then telegraph it from
another point of view at the end. That was a unique idea of
Jarmusch's, used very effectively by Tarantino.
THE KILLING starts at the end, brings you back through the
events but it doesn't completely change perspective the way
the other two movies do. While I'm sure Kubrick was an
influence on both of these directors, the technique I'm
talking about was not one I've seen him use in any of his
films. And, ummm, yes, I think I've seen them all.
