"You gonna bark all day little doggie, or are you gonna bite?"

I would like to take this moment to talk about the movie Reservoir Dogs, and many other of Quentin Tarantino's works beyond merely the story of the tragic hero. His movies are all so incredible: the depth of the characters, the witty dialogue, the raw violence and showing of humanity's true colors are just awe-inspiring. The thing I almost like the best about Tarantino's films is that they focus on the "bad guys", people that for the most part are considered exclusively to be bad. They focus on robbers and bounty hunters and assassins and people that just kill a whole lot. But something that many of us forget is that just because something is considered to be bad or evil or wrong, not every single aspect and every single thing associated with it is also bad, or that it will not have any good qualities or depth. The dialogue in Tarantino's films reveal depth, compassion, and humanity in characters considered everyone to be exclusively evil. For example, Reservoir Dogs focuses on a bunch of criminals, one of them an undercover cop, in the planning and immediate aftermath of a diamond heist. Not good people. But the opening scene shows the entire group at breakfast, talking about music, and the radio, and old friends. Their conversation eventually turns to the fact that one of their group, Mr. Pink, does not tip. They go into how waitresses need the money and it's all very compassionate and considerate and logical and friendly, showing that these people have integrity and kindness in their hearts.
Of course, the movie has to show the exception to the rule of friendly criminals, and that is Mr. Blonde, or Vic Vega. In stark contrast to arguably the best of their group, Mr. White,  Mr. Blonde is completely crazy and violent and psychotic. He starts off on a poor note by starting to shoot up a group of civilians during their heist and ending (literally) having cut open the face of, cut the ear off of, and almost setting fire to, a police officer he had hostage in his trunk. He is shot by the other criminals before he has the chance to set fire to the officer. The rest of the men, however, all show compassion and remorse for the people Blonde shot, and all made sure they didn't themselves kill any civilians. Mr. White himself prides himself and his team on their openness, and has immense faith for and compassion in his injured compatriot, Mr. Orange. It is however revealed that Orange is an undercover cop, and White, finding honesty the most important thing and not considering cops to be real people, shoots Orange in the head. Oh well. No one's perfect.
