The Jew of Malta

Two criminals and their hostages unknowingly seek temporary refuge in a truck stop populated by vampires, with chaotic results. A crime boss assembles a team of six experienced criminals to pull off a large jewellery heist. After awakening from a four-year coma, a former assassin wreaks vengeance on the team of assassins who betrayed her. Two victims of traumatized childhoods become lovers and psychopathic serial murderers irresponsibly glorified by the mass media.

A film that explores the dark and miserable town, Basin City, and tells the story of three different people, all caught up in violent corruption. Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's homage to exploitation double features in the 60s and 70s with two back-to-back cult films that include previews of coming attractions between them.

When she gets caught by the agents Ray Nicolet and Mark Dargus with ten thousand dollars and cocaine in her purse, they propose a deal to her to help them to arrest Ordell in exchange of her freedom. Meanwhile Ordell asks the year-old Max Cherry, who runs a bail bond business, to release Jackie Brown with the intention of eliminating her. Jackie suspects of Ordell's intention and plots a complicated confidence game with Max to steal half a million dollars from Ordell. When Jackie is tagged by the feds, played by Keaton and Michael Bowen she is willing to give up Ordell because she has a plan of her own.

Meanwhile, Ordell has proved himself to be a pretty nasty character, killing associates without even a hint of betrayal, so to say that Jackie is walking a tightrope is an understatement. Rounding out the cast is Robert Forster as Max Cherry, Jackie's bail bondsman hired by Ordell when Jackie is initially arrested by the feds, and eventual love interest, Robert DeNiro as Louis, an associate of Ordell's who is fresh out of jail and about to buy in on one of Ordell's gun selling schemes and Bridget Fonda as Melanie, one of Ordell's women, and object of both fascination and irritation for Louis.

As John Travolta was dug up to star in "Pulp Fiction", Tarantino resurrects two 's actors, Robert Forster and Pam Grier, and both prove once again that there are few contemporary directors around who have better gut instincts and an eye for casting than he.

Although there could have been many other bigger name, safer choices that would have jumped to be in Tarantino's perceived follow-up to "Fiction", the film geek once again proves that he knows best. Grier is absolutely luminous, and looks at least 10 years younger than her actual age.

Better than that, she is sexy, spunky and knows what she wants. The supporting cast is also excellent, and while it's definitely film geeky to admit it, like the actors who appear in the ensemble films of Paul Thomas Anderson or Wes Anderson, I always admire the cast of Tarantino's film because while they may not have a large or prestigious role in the film, they are always juicy characters that are sometimes played against type.

I loved seeing Michael Keaton as a hard-faced, leather jacket clad fed, and Robert DeNiro, who can chew scenery better than a lot is fantastic as the quiet, shlubby and slobby sidekick. Anyone who approached "Jackie Brown" looking for a Pulp Fiction sequel was probably either somewhat disappointed or, like me, encouraged that Tarantino can not only do flashy, but can spin a good story as well. And perhaps even more importantly, he wasn't a two-trick pony with the inspired films "Pulp Fiction" and "Reservoir Dogs".

While I have mixed feelings about Tarantino the man, I am endeared to his almost autistic-knowledge of film and his inherent film geekiness, but I am both fascinated and repelled by his almost constant hysteria and, particularly in the infancy of his fame, his inability to turn down an acting job or engage in ceaseless self-promotion I certainly count him among my favorite directors and anytime he releases a film, it's an event. Before seeing his latest releases, "Kill Bill Vol. And that is why I look at "Jackie Brown", a film that wasn't quite as stellar or lauded as his others with a certain amount of fondness, because it is a great piece of work, without all of the flash, bells and whistles of its predecessor.

Knowing that a "Pulp Fiction 2" would be an instant hit, Tarantino decided to go in a different direction, and it's that willingness to take a chance, even if it's not a huge leap, that makes me appreciate it that much more. Even Tarantino fans that I know let this film go under their radar, so if you are in the same boat, seek this one out; it is well worth it. Start your free trial.

Others believe that the suggestion of imitation by Shakespeare of Marlow is overblown, and that not only the two stories are very different, but the principal characters that are often compared, Shylock and Barabas, are themselves profoundly different.

Regardless of whether or not The Merchant of Venice was a direct influence, or merely a product of the contemporaneous society that they both were written in, it is noteworthy that Marlowe and Shakespeare were the only two British playwrights of their time to include a Jewish principal character in one of their plays.

At the end of the play, Barabas attempts to murder his erstwhile Turkish allies by tricking them into falling through a trap door into a hot cauldron in a pit. In the end, it is Barabas who falls into his own fiery pit and dies a violent death. An example of this includes Haman , in the story of Purim , being hanged on the very gallows he intended for the Jewish people he wished to murder. The Jew of Malta was an immediate success [2] from its first recorded performance at the Rose Theatre in early , when Edward Alleyn played the lead role.

The play was subsequently presented by Alleyn's Lord Strange's Men seventeen times between 26 February and 1 February More than a dozen performances by the Admiral's Men occurred between May and June The play apparently belonged to impresario Philip Henslowe , since the cited performances occurred when the companies mentioned were acting for Henslowe. In Henslowe's diary notes payments to the Admiral's company for props for a revival of the play. The play remained popular for the next fifty years, until England's theaters were closed in see English Renaissance theatre.

In the Caroline era , actor Richard Perkins was noted for his performances as Barabas when the play was revived in by Queen Henrietta's Men.

The title page of the quarto refers to this revival, performed at the Cockpit Theatre. The script of this performance included additions by S. However, in an anonymous biography of Kean published seventeen years later, it suggests that the success of the production came from Kean's performance and his addition of a song to the role of Barabas, and that the play itself, on its own, was a failure.
