Quentin Tarantino’s work of director as a DJ Reservoir Dogs is Quentin Tarantino’s first film as a director and it became really huge. The film was made partly by reappropriating Ringo Lam’s film City on Fire, but it was better than City on Fire and became a classical one.

His compositions throughout the entire movie literally made the movie…

There were many different crafts used in the movie “Mongol”. I believe that the two biggest ones were that of color scheming and the calculated use of silence. The movie took large advantage of its ability to manipulate color, and used this to further its ability to evoke certain emotions and to set a certain scene. The entirety of the movie is set in a somewhat gray, brown, and generally dark and foggy coloring, and this is most definitely an artistic choice. This sepia coloring helps to…
