Tarantino moves are known for there distinct style, some of Tarantino’s trademarks are shooting (with a camera) actors through doors, shots from inside the boot of a car, bare feet, homage’s to his favorite films e.g. Butch’s selection of weapons to rescue Marcellus in pulp fiction all pay homage to different movies, uses his own brand names e.g. Red Apple Cigarettes, Big kahuna Burger. Pop culture references, non linear structure, Mexican standoffs, aliases, briefcases, Zippo lighters, boxes of discontinued cereal and large quantities of fake blood.
DaveQuentin Tarantino’s movies are highly controversial, some people consider the frequent use on the word “nigga” racist but Samuel L Jackson (who has been in four QT movies) defended him on the racism saying in the context its not offensive. Because of there high level of violence, some people say he glamorizes violence, in an interview on CNN with a movie reviewer she argued that ‘Kill Bill’ was too violent but Tarantino said that it empowers women and “cool parents” should take kids from 12 up to see it because kids can tell the difference between movies and real life. when asked why the need for so much violence he said “because its so much fun”, I think that the violence and death in Tarantino movies, particularly the fight scenes in ‘Kill Bill’ should be considered art of direction and shows off his skills as an action director but some people watching it take the killing too literally, confusing it with actual real life death but really its just fun to watch. Quentin calls the violence in his movies “artistic violence” he opts for style over substance which is one reason why Tarantino is my favorite director!
