simon & garfunkel - sound of silence (the graduate, 1967)

now back to the goodness....ding. ding! the graduate vs. jackie brown opening scene

i love quentin tarantino & "jackie brown" OBVIOUSLY my all time favorite tarantino flick due to (1) PAM GRIER and (2) the soundtrack. the opening scene is an identical tribute to mike nicolas' opener for the 1967 cult classic "the graduate". the film stars the fresh & uncomfortable dustin hoffman along side with the impeccable ann bancroft. the entire soundtrack / score was written by simon & the other guy & received quite the reception, taking cinema music to the 12th degree. it was this movie that i like to think started the phenominan of the importance of an amazing soundtrack. well like a true blue nerd, quentin learned by example, put on his oj gloves and killed this soundtrack. the opening song for jackie brown, is the also the opening song for the movie with same title "across 110th st" by bobby womack. it is known within the nerd world that quentin is heavily influenced by not only martials art, comics, and action movies, but soul cinema or blaxploitation flicks as well. so it is no surprise to see a perfect marriage between music & vision. this song was written specifically for the 1972 movie starring anthony quinn & yaphet kotto, so when it came to filming "jackie brown" quentin directed a great tribute that will only inspire the minds of todays youth. just doin my piece to help educate. love-joy!
