![]() ![]() Seth is the mouthpiece, the leader and the thinker. ![]() In the opening sequence of the film we get an instant idea of who is in charge in the relationship. No, I want to talk about Seth and Richard (Richie) Gecko and their dynamic. Not to mention the rest of the cast, Keitel, Lewis, Tom Savini, Michael Parks, Cheech Marin as three different characters…Well you get the idea.īut what I want to discuss today is not the overall film or the genre shift it so cleverly performs. Script by Tarantino, direction by Rodriguez, FX by Greg Nicotero, and George Clooney in his first starring film role. It is almost the perfect ensemble of talent. The film, to me anyway, is beyond brilliant. The film is no longer about the Gecko’s escape from the law, it’s now about the two families escaping the club alive. Once the group are inside the club (which is in fact a strip club run by Salma Hayek where all the employees, along with Salma, are some sort of mutated vampires who feed off the clientele) everything changes. Carlos (Cheech Moran) is Seth’s contact who will take him and Richie to El Rey and he has told Seth that he will meet them at dawn. Jake Fuller ( Harvey Keitel) is a man of the cloth who has turned his back on his faith, Kate ( Juliette Lewis) is his troubled daughter and Scott ( Ernest Liu) is his adopted son.Īfter the entire group make good the Gecko’s escape to Mexico, they wait in a bar recommended by Carlos, The Titty Twister. Later in the film the Gecko’s take the Fuller family hostage so they can use their Recreational Vehicle (RV) and them to get into Mexico. It is apparent that the film is about two criminals who are fleeing the police. After they destroy the place, the film segues into the opening credits. In other words it starts out as one kind of film and evolves into another.Īt the film’s opening we see the Gecko brothers Seth ( George Clooney) and Richie (Tarantino) and their two hostages who are in a gas station/liquor/convenience store. Directed by Robert Rodriguez and written by Quentin Tarantino (who also played Richie Gecko) From Dusk Till Dawn is a Genre Bender. ![]()
