I just saw *Reservoir Dogs* and was very impressed by the way it

dealt with violence, by the narrative structure, and by the

characterization.  I was most impressed, however, with the

way the film slowly built up a dissertation exploring the role

of narrative in our lives and the "real life" consequences of

fiction.  I think in this case the unsettling nature of the

film is well justified thematically and I recommend it to those

who have not tried it yet.  However, I think I must have missed

something: I still don't know what the title means.  Can anyone

help me?  (If you need to use spoilers to explain, please e-mail

me privately.)

Thanks,

Eric
