18 Things You Somehow Missed In Reservoir Dogs
11. The Real Function Of The Warehouse
Aside from the breakfast scene in the diner, and the flashbacks that showed how Mr. White, Mr. Blonde, and Mr. Orange were recruited, the majority of Reservoir Dogs takes place inside the warehouse that the team called their rendezvous point.
That is exactly what it is described as, a warehouse. However, if you look closer, you can see that there are a few details that make it far more morbid than that, not limited to the fact that at one point Mr. Blonde decides to have a seat on the top of a plastic-covered hearse.
There can also be several coffins seen in the background, and while it may have been that the movie’s shoestring budget limited Tarantino’s location to pretty much wherever he could find, as is the same as every seemingly insignificant detail in his movies, it could go much deeper than that.
The hearse and the coffins are nothing short of perfect foreshadowing for the fact that only one man that entered that warehouse on screen would ultimately leave it alive, and even he may have been killed very soon afterward.
