Trivia

The Intro Titles to Jackie Brown are a careful homage to the Intro Titles to The Graduate. Where Dustin Hoffman passes wearily through Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) past white tiles to a sombre folk soundtrack, Pam Grier walks past the same spot years later to a soaring soul soundtrack—even the tiles are multi-colored. It's a carefully judged reference to the movies of the 1960s, that both places Jackie in a recognisable age bracket, and neatly illustrates the nature of the cultural change in Los Angeles in the intervening years. Once again Tarantino infuses the familiar with colour and style.
